@SeatGeekHelp Just sent a DM

@SeatGeek is making getting a refund for concert tickets that did not work nearly impossible part of your business model? Because so far I can't get an answer or refund though there is allegedly a "buyer guarantee".

@AGCHanaway really should look into this.

There’s a lot of things we can debate, but the obvious awesomeness of Morris Day and the Time is not one of them ...

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

America lost one in six of its neighborhood bars in a single decade, and the killer was real estate math.

A bar like this can pour $3 beers because the building was paid off decades ago. The owner often lives upstairs. No rent, no investors, no debt service on a Pabst sign that's been hanging there for 40 years.

The moment that building sells, the math dies with it. A new operator inherits a market-rate lease, which forces $9 drinks, which forces a renovation to justify $9 drinks, which produces another exposed-brick cocktail bar where the dive used to be.

The Midwest kept its dive bars because of how they got built in the first place. Before Prohibition, Milwaukee's breweries put up corner taverns themselves. Pabst and Schlitz wanted guaranteed outlets for their beer, so they built bars directly into residential blocks. That's why these places sit on quiet snowy corners between houses instead of on commercial strips where rent explodes.

Chicago had around 3,300 tavern licenses in 1990. It's down to about 1,200. At the worst of the decline, America was losing six neighborhood bars a day.

And every single closure is permanent. You can't build a dive bar. You can only inherit one.

@ryan_landreth There's always the Pirates!

[BP @BAP_KC]

@royalsreview Rehire

[BP @BAP_KC]

@KCTV5 Dunn invests with Sherman ownership group, Dunn gets a contract. Didn't see that coming!!

[BP @BAP_KC]

@ryan_landreth @platinombrero Also there were many better players on those teams than him. Just a cold fact.

Could he have been a role player, yes sir he could have.

The chemistry question lingers

[BP @BAP_KC]

@ryan_landreth @platinombrero I'll always believe that the Royals screwed 2 hit Whit (and the team) by not bringing him up sooner.

I'll also always wonder what kind of teammate he was.

His exit was self induced and politics aside he just wanted out. He also handled it like a complete douche.

[BP @BAP_KC]

@platinombrero You've obviously played Angry Birds

[BP @BAP_KC]

@royalsclubhouse He needs it to compete next season

[BP @BAP_KC]

@jazayerli Holding them going INTO a lockout season is unfathomably dense.

[BP @BAP_KC]

@FlannyMLB Totally going to compete hard during the lockout. Excellent strategy here by Sherman and company.

[BP @BAP_KC]

@PrecisionLabs0 Fuck the story, that a plane can move like that is absolutely mind bending

[BP @BAP_KC]

@RyanMcChesney1 @IvanWilkinson4 @ryan_landreth I think you've already done that.

Stays on the breaking ball, driving it down the line for a standup double.

6-foot-3 upside backstop to keep an eye on as he continues to add strength.
