I have had a Dodger’s Pennant on my wall for the last 45 years. I took it down yesterday. I stopped watching when interleague play came in (mlb version of shacking up), but started a little for my son’ sake, especially as we have Cactus League here. No more. Done.

Not good, but they aren’t actual nuns.

“For me it’s the DH.”


Grew up as a Dodger fan in SoCal. Saw games at the Coliseum and Dodger Stadium. Nosebleed seats at the latter cost $1, but no raincheck because it never rained. Nine-inning games didn’t take 3 hours. Pitchers were expected to pitch complete games. The two leagues were separate entities and only met for the All-Star game and the World Series.

Pennant races were exciting even though only one team in each league got into the post season. Pitchers had to bat and there could be payback for hitting batters and brushbacks. Players tended (or were forced to) stay with one team for much of their careers. Lineups stayed pretty much the same for years on end.

Even counting for inflation, games were easily affordable enough for middle-class families to take in several games a year without taking out a loan.

And teams didn’t feel the need to pander to perverts. It was better back in the day.

Ah yes. Those $1 nosebleed seats. It was just recent they sold them for $2(or was it 5?). Dodgers were losing and they needed butts in the seats. Brought in a lot of Riff-raff. I see empty seats a lot(overpriced). Perhaps charging the market rate brings in the low-lifes.

The game integrity went out with the DH coming in. I have no problem with overpriced tickets, hot dogs, and parking(+players). It’s what the market will bear. Even night games are there to cater to the working man-it’s ok.

The actual title to the article is:

Why did you change it?

Yep, they hid it pretty well back then.

Although there was a Pope many years ago who’s father also was a Pope.

Mother was probably a Nun.

“It is the Delphi technique applied to a corporate group which then acts on the mass population in exactly the same way.”


Very few people are aware of the Delphi principle and do not even notice when it is used on them. I’ve been in committee meetings, where the speaker says a few words and then states, “as we all agree,...... (insert progressive narrative here)”. I’m the little [b]itch in the back who responds, “when did we all agree on that point?”.

It is little known but very effective and most gatherings
never notice. However, once one studies up on it, it is
surprisingly used quite often just as in this instance
where it is being applied to the mass of the polis.

It is shocking once you learn to recognize it.
