Warhead36 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 It's November 5th and we're still World Series champs. The peasants always hate the ones at the top of the mountain. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I like LBK more when he focuses his barbs on fundamentally corrupt franchises like the Redskins. It feels forced when he tries to extrapolate the agenda of a franchise working backwards from two players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isn't trying to be a hero, it's about meeting an asshole with, well, a bigger asshole. Back to fun baseball stuff. Great article on the narrative that Hinch blew it rather than the Nationals won it: https://tht.fangraphs.com/hinch-didnt-blow-it-the-nats-won-it/ Warning it does contain the words "his best reliever, Trevor Rosenthal," however not in reference to the Nats.

bearrock Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hmmm.... So didn't even think about this. https://www.foxbusiness.com/sports/washington-nationals-stadium-naming-rights-world-series Quote Nationals Park has operated without a naming rights deal since it opened its doors in 2008. Team executives sought a sponsor when the stadium was under construction in 2006 and again in 2016, but negotiations did not yield a suitable offer. Naming rights deals can be a key source of revenue for sports teams, with high-end agreements generating as much as $20 million annually for franchises over a period often stretching for a decade or longer. While a World Series victory would not guarantee the Nationals a top-dollar deal, it could bring corporate partners interested in national exposure back to the table, according to Gemini Sports Group President Rob Yowell, who was involved in the franchise’s initial naming rights talks. Honestly, I kind of like the generic Nationals Park name, but wouldn't really care if there's a corporate sponsorship, especially if higher revenue would help maintain a high payroll. Somebody on reddit suggested Walgreen's as the corporate sponsor, lol. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
