General Musings

[Scott the Dick]

In baseball, the Houston Astros have just been hammered for getting caught stealing signs. Field manager and general manager both suspended for the year, and subsequently sacked immediately



The Red Sox followed as their now manager, Alex Cora, was the bench coach for the Astros and it looks like basically he set it all up. Now hes with the red Sox and they've fired him now too



2 of the biggest and most successful teams searching for new gaffers at the same time, after everyone has already been hired to the jobs that were open.

Interesting times ahead, the Sox in particular could toil now

Oh no - keep us posted m8.

Posted about this on the news thread. 
Mets next to act - Beltran gone without ever overseeing a game and now sepculation Altuve et al had buzzers attached to them to tell them what pitch was coming. Story is far from over.

Not sure if it's a hoax or not, but apparently Kobe Bryant's died in a helicopter crash

[Zizou]

Horrendous absolutely horrendous.

This is a massive massive story this side of the Atlantic. He's an iconic sportsman. Just last night LeBron passed him as 3rd highest scorer in NBA history.

I remember when Payne Stewart died it was a big shock but this seems an even bigger one.

One of my favourite players, and a great entertainer. Sad.

Helicopters, they're generally very safe however the more you use them the more the odds shorten. Was one of the reasons I changed careers, as after 1500hrs, in a very remote dangerous environment I just din't fancy it anymore. Spectacular way to see the great outdoors mind.

[Zizou]

Would never catch me in a helicopter like.

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

I'm genuinely gutted about this, one of my heroes growing up. Got a Lakers tap with his name on it from a holiday in the US when I was 12 - it was basically the one thing on my shopping list while I was out there

[CritchSmile]

That's mad.

Still haven't gotten over Colin McRae
