I like The Prodigy (even their older stuff, which was more techno-ish/less edgy than their hit album).

But yes, terrible (yet darkly humorous) selection. Firing was justifiable.

@SteveGelbs: Bartolo just walked for the first time in his ML career.

The White Sox named their field Guaranteed Rate Field.

The internet is laughing their *** off today.

Stadium naming rights suck :mad:

Sometimes I have to wonder when the sports bubble is going to burst :rolleyes:

My favorite is "University of Phoenix Stadium." First time I heard the name, I thought, "Wait. They've got a <i>football team</i>? " Then I marveled at the cleverness of the marketing ploy.

Yep, gotta admit, that is one of the most impressive uses of marketing dollars in history. It probably did more to both expand and improve branding than any other naming rights ever.

Oh Kep -- First Reyes and now...

@SportsCentre: UPDATE: According to ESPN's @AdamSchefter, Mets signing Tim Tebow to a minor-league contract
 
Re: 2016 MLB Season - Curses, foiled again?

Much ado about nothing. I still think Tebow will be out of baseball by the end of 2018 at the latest.

Rich Hill having a respectable outing in Miami.

ETA: They pulled him! Bullpen promptly gives up a hit.
