How am I negative about Salty? I have always said that he is adequate. I think that is fairly accurate.

Why do people hang so much on every word managers say these days. Who cares. Most of them are buffoons in one way or another, and plenty are just plain stupid. Luckily for Casey Stengel that he was not subjected the 24/7 coverage of today. He rarely made any sense when he opened his mouth, but the guy knew the game. It's only important that a manger drills the fundamentals and knows the game, so he doesn't cost his team games.

It's mind boggling what the pros can do. I'd play once in a while with my wife's uncle. He was a huge step down from a pro, but a scratch golfer, and he would do things that just weren't possible for me. Rather than play up and over on a dogleg hole, he'd take out an iron and whack the ball over the trees and the ball would land on the other side of the dogleg in the fairway right in front of the green. I would lose three or four balls just trying that.

Baseball players have a lot of down time, especially starting pitchers. Historically, they filled their time golfing or fishing. Today, there is a lot of electronic gagetry to keep them busy. Tons of baseball players have been avid golfers, and many are washed up as baseball players by their early 30's, certainly young enough to be a professional golfer. None have been able to do it. Zero. They can't master the game. Could they have mastered the game if they grew up playing it and training at it? I am sure that several could have done it, but starting as adults, they can never refine their skill enough to be consistent enough to compete with the pros.

Many baseball players have tried, but almost none succeed. My recollection is that Ken Harrelson retired from baseball to try golf. That didn't work out.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of baseball players throughout the years have been avid golfers. How many have been able to crack into their professional circuit?

What about a centerman skating in front of the net trying to use the blade of his stick or his skate to redirect a 100+ mph slapshot to an open part of the net. The disc shaped puck moves very unpredictably as compared to a baseball. Edit: The guy is on ice skates and he is taking hits from defenders while doing this.

If the expertscould really predict the outcomes, they wouldn't need their jobs as experts. Still, going into the season, those are the teams that should be the toughest to beat.

PSsst. We are the experts. I don't know what happened to iortiz. I dropped him a pm about a week ago to see if everything was alright with him, but I haven't heard back from him.
-
I noticed that the the experts have us rated below the Yankees, Rangers, Angels, Tigers and Rays. This is pretty much where iortiz said theSox would be rated at the beginning ofthe season.

There isn't enough rivalry in baseball. I liked the days when the players on each team hated each other as much as the fans did. Good for Scott. He is saying what I have heard myself in Baltimore from Baltimore fans. They hate us down there, even though we account for a good part of their team's revenue. Scott took the side of the hometown fans. Good for him, but why did he wait until he left town to talk about it?

As usual, I would like to participate. -

As a baseball purist, who believes that the outcome of a marathon 162 game schedule should decide which are the best teams, further expansion of the playoffs is something that I do not like. I still don't like the 5 game Division Series. Additionally, by adding a second wildcard in each league, there will be several more teams that will be in payoff contention meaning that fewer teams will be sellers at the trading deadline. It will be very difficult to fill in pieces or build your team during the season.

There is no scientific study coming to any conclusion. From the article:
-
I thought the rankings were based on a survey. Where's the scientific backup on this?
-
Isn't it just a poll?
