just lol and lmao if Ohtani and Yamamoto colluded to end up on the Dodgers

Is it collusion or do they think the unis are really classy?

Like, gently caress the Dodgers. But signing with the Dodgers makes total sense for Yamamoto given how MaGyvered the rotation was last year.

yamamoto has always been the dodgers #1 real need and priority this offseason. Ohtani of course is gold dust but Yamamoto is essential

posted:

The Pirates announced Wednesday that they’ve entered into an agreement with the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins for joint ownership of the SportsNet Pittsburgh network. Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette first reported the agreement. With the new partnership, SportsNet Pittsburgh will continue to carry all regionally broadcasted Pirates games and expand the network’s pregame and postgame coverage of the team.

The deal creates some eyebrow-raising partnerships due to the fact that daily operations of the network are handled by the New England Sports Network (NESN), which is owned by Fenway Sports Group. FSG owns the Penguins and holds an 80% stake in SportsNet Pittsburgh, per Mackey. That means that Red Sox owners John Henry and Tom Werner, the founders of FSG, will directly profit from the Pirates’ television broadcasts moving forward. Williams emphasized to Mackey that MLB has not deemed that to be a conflict of interest — FSG’s operations are a separate business venture from the Red Sox — and he added that the existing relationship between Henry, Werner and Pirates owner Bob Nutting actually helped to facilitate the arrangement.

Although the time my dad with ALS in his wheechair got heckled by Dodger fans at Dodger stadium was a pretty good motivator for me to hate them.

The Penguins have collapsed in the 2 years since FSG bought them, after like 17 straight years of being in the playoffs they missed last year and are in 7th place in an 8 team division so far this year. Coincidence??

e: oh and ownership is enamored of the head coach who won a championship years ago and kept him after several years of underachieving while replacing the team president and GM. I'm sure that doesn't sound familiar to Red Sox fans at all

I've seen it first hand, it's partially true. What they don't tell you is the traffic is ungodly terrible around the park and is a massive walk even from the parking lot. It takes forever to get to the game, so yeah, I can see why it takes until the third inning to get to your seat.

Like seriously try to go to a game in Dodger stadium. It freaking sucks.
