It seems like a 300+ sqmi city that can't agree to fund a light rail system* but is talking about a highway interchange that would cost 6x as much could use something like that.

*True for the next 90 minutes

you know what I've never seen? the net value of a single resident across the metro at different developments. (taxes taken in minus cost of the development, maintenance and such) like what's the tax value of a dense apartment building downtown vs a neighborhood of the same size in the suburbs? how'...

the trade is still worth it if Davis is the lynchpin of a WS-winning pitching staff even after Shields leaves, but given Davis's track record, that seems even less likely than Shields hoisting the trophy as a Royal. Just curious. Where is it written that Shields will leave the Royals after 2 years?...

I watched this game at BrandsMart on Gregory while waiting for my friend and his dad to buy a home theatre system.

I love the one in Union Station. Outstanding selection of obscure local titles.

So it's the same Star website as before, only with more ads. :roll: Is that the only change? I though it was going to be subscription. I haven't noticed any difference - I have Adblock Plus on Chrome, which I highly recommend. It is subscription now. But apart from some new ads, there isn't anythin...

The got some flak for having Klosterman be the primary host, but for a guy who was as much of a cultural phenomenon as Bo was, it was perfect. What CK said about him being the last player whose reputation relied heavily on word of mouth anecdotes made me think that Bo was a throwback to Negro League...

Can someone with a Baseball Prospectus subscription check and dee what his player card looks like? Curious about PECOTA, career curve, comps, etc.

I think if the city is going to issue licenses, creating a tacky art standard also creates First Amendment problems.

Holy shit! I can't tell if this is a brilliant come back to KCMax's picture or just typical mgsports nonsense. either way it made me crack a smile!

Kevin Collison is the only reason I still subscribe. Yeal's on Twitter so much that I don't really have to wonder what he's thinking about anything. Someone on here had the idea that they could go hyper local, cover the metro/MO/KS really well, and ditch the AP reprints. I have no idea if that's cos...

^we did too. I'd definitely consider switching to something similar from Broadway if it was locally sourced.

Now that I've had 24 hours to cool off, I think one of the major reasons I'm so pissed about this is that after 6 years of DM's rebuilding the Royals just traded the best prospect in baseball and they're still this goddamn mediocre. Dealing a prospect like this should be the trade that put them over...

I haven't had this beer, but I've had one that tasted exactly like it.

One thing the city needs to encourage is more sidewalk businesses and drive more foot traffic. Maybe with a special business license. I remember in New Orleans that around the big square in the French Quarter there were artists selling on the street. They hung their art on the fence and leaned it a...

Yeah. I'm old school about it. The teams we grew up watching won the AL West. They got a flag for it. As MLB adds more WC teams, it leaves the impression that if a team is relatively competent, the playoffs will dip down to their level eventually. I should clarify that if this whole 6 year rebuildin...
