And yet Bobby f***ing Valentine tops your list?

Lou Merloni is pants-on-head retarded.

Well yeah. In retrospect, Moneyball (the book) coming out is probably the worst thing that happened to him.

Beane would be interesting. Let's hope he doesn't turn out like Ricciardi though, and go nuts when he actually has money to play with.

Anyone but Bobby Valentine. Seriously. I'd be on board with either Rice or Eckersley. Players have grown too accustomed to Francona's soft touch.

He'll want a f***ton of money. As I said, you won't fix anything here by just tossing more money at it. The Red Sox have been behaving like the mid-2000s Yankees lately. I'm not against a s***-for-s*** trade, but you can understand me not being too amped about it. Can I borrow your eight ball?

Francona's a good manager. But they have shelf lives, and his might have expired.

Absolutely not. I guess. I'll pass.

I'll just say that you're not gonna fix this team by throwing more money at it.

Deal breaker. And I happen to like my facial wrinkles.

I'd voice my opinion on this whole thing, but I know how much hardcoar baseball people don't like views that don't fall in line with the sport's historical aspects. So I shall refrain.

Danny Ainge is a f***ing idiot for trading away Marshon Brooks for that gangly scrub.

ATH and PTI saying that the Lakers and Wolves looking to make a Gasol for Love/#2 deal. Who knows how valid it is. This might bump Minnesota up to 27 win status, but they'll still screwed for at least the next 3 years and nothing they can feasibly do in the interim will change that. As things stand now, I'm not sure about it for the Lakers either. Love's gaudy numbers were mostly accomplished due to there not being anyone else on the roster to get them. The Lakers have plenty of other guys capable of scoring and rebounding. Love could fall off the radar real fast in that case. Let's hope LA doesn't extend him once the (theoretical) deal is complete. Although there's nothing the Lakers from just trading him to Orlando too, as well as Bynum and the #2 pick they'd be getting from the Wolves. I'd love to see the Magic find a better return package for Howard.

Well, virtually everyone involved with baseball says that expanding into Florida was a huge mistake for them, so there's that.

Let's see... would 'I know what you are but what am I?' work as a response to this, despite its lack of wit? Yeah, I think so. In other words, you think the game is incredibly boring and a waste of time as is, so all these dumb little quirks and gimmicks are necessary to keep you involved. Maybe slamball is a sport you should start following. And where's the difference in basketball? Football? Hockey? They have equal sets of rules, I don't see anyone suggesting that the NFL pass a rule that gives teams freedom to alter their goalposts and field distances. Wow, what an un-fun crowd. If people enjoy baseball, they enjoy baseball, and they will not abandon the sport just because somebody in charge pulled his head out of his ass and put everyone on a level playing field. The very few people that would spurn the game because everyone was put on a level playing field just don't have opinions worth considering. The same set of rules across an entire sport (a.k.a. fairness) is perfectly logical. Otherwise there is absolutely zero reason to play the game. You will never be able to formulate a valid argument (omg I haz fun tho!! is not valid) as to why the opposite is true. Never. It's impossible. I'm right, you're wrong as s*** and so is everyone who agrees with this trash. Stop talking.

The vast majority of fans are f***ing idiots. Entertainment is entirely subjective. Level playing fields would not affect the game's entertainment value in the least. Fairness (or 'logic', as I prefer to call it) is never a bad thing. God you people need to f***ing let go of this tradition ********. I don't a give a flying f*** what went on in your childhood, and neither would a competent commissioner and owner committee. Grow up.

Urrite, who needs fairness when you have tradition? People would obviously abandon the sport if they did petty things like use the same rules in both leagues and use the same dimensions for every place. Baseball would lose it's royal place as the American past-time! Oh noez!!1! I enjoy watching people flop around when they try to combat this.

'Poor' Heat? They buttf***ed themselves out of this. Game 2 will live on for a long long time, and rightfully so. I don't know how the Heat crowd didn't start booing the s*** out of them.

I'm not sure they think it's even real. I wouldn't know about Dirk, his postgame routines have never been something I scrutinize.

God Dallas is barely even celebrating.

Dallas champs. I'd say congrats, but there aren't any Mavs fans here. Lol @ Cuban trying to stay calm and even-keel but failing so hard.
