Lose business? Is anybody boycotting the recording industry for the language in today"s music?

 

No, because bad language alone is not anything that loses a business money, and the racially charged lyrics in certain songs and genres is exactly their business model. But the Clippers were on the verge of losing big money in advertising and boycotted merchandise with the Sterling thing, for example, and the NBA cut him loose rather than deal with the fallout. Whether or not you agree with what Cowherd said, ESPN was well within their rights as his employer to say "s***, we don't want anything to do with whatever happens with this. Bye"

They pitched when pitchers went 9 (nine) innings. They pitched 300 + innings. They didn't hide behind a DH, and Pedro was clopse but no cigar in a race with Clemens

 

Pedro didn't exactly lay over the field of the greats that I saw but I would put him close to the top when at his best. I saw no one better than Koufax when he was at his best though.

It's sad that it took a comment about Dominicans to get Cowherd fired. He should have been fired years ago on the basis that he f***ing sucks, as both a sports radio host and a human being.

 

I used to watch Sportsnation all the time when he was on it, but he was biased towards his teams, and bashed everyone else to no extent. Even as a kid, I knew that he was "a bad guy."

Interesting words from Shilling about Hanley and Fatboy.

 

Pretty much affirms what I have been saying all along.

 

Is Shilling an expert?

He knows more about what it takes to play the game and be successful than the guys writing projections for blogs.

Panda is getting fatter as the season progresses. Wait till he packs on his winter weight. It is getting close to embarrassing to have such a fatty out there.

Pedro was great. But the greatest pitcher you ever saw? C'mon. You must not have seen too many pitchers. Gibsin, Koufax, Clemens, Ryan, and many others ahead of him

You must not have seen Nolan Ryan pitch...

I don't know what Cowherd said. I don't care what Cowherd said. The Sterling thing? Rivers and Paul both knew what they were signing. Then they feign disgust. Athletes are just greedy bastards. The number of zeroes on the paycheck outweighs everything else.

An expert dipshit.

Yes, I saw Ryan pitch. And he pitched with some pretty bad teams. Won-Lost record is deceptive. Lose a bunch of 1-0, 2-1 games. A Loser?

You would like him better if he wasn't white...right?

 

Nah, maybe if he played less video games and didn't steal millions of dollars from RI.

Shill said that Fatboy has but on "a lot of weight " since the beginning of the season. Kruk says he must way 290.

He's not top ten all time. Seaver was better. Ryan had longevity, but that's about it. In terms of power arms, Roger and Randy were light years better than Nolan Ryan.

You are living in the past old man.

 

Jerry is talking about "Yankees stinks" t shirts and sounds 30 years younger.
