  1. Well, a lot of people on here do have PHDs in dipshitology. Also, it's the offseason and people will grab onto anything just to have a reason to be upset.
  2. @jonahkeri: Bill Deane, who has been predicting MLB Hall of Fame results for 33 years, says only Maddux gets in this time http://baseballpastandpresent.com/2013/12/15/2014-hall-fame-election-forecast/
  3. My ballot would be: Bonds Clemens Maddux Frank thomas Glavine Schill Edgar Martinez Tim Raines Piazza Bagwell I think Thomas, Maddux and Glavine get in.

  5. They aren't signing Floyd to be a 6th starter. Peavy and Doubs are better.
  6. Naw, if he hits 30 hrs this year and everyone gets excited about it, you'd just pooh-pooh it because of groupthink.
  7. Why would it be? He just became a world eater in this year's playoffs.
  8. I don't know about you, but I'm soooo pissed off about the asteroid that may or may not hit the Earth this weekend!
  9. You realize that your "feelings" don't always line up with reality and that it's pointless to get worked up over something that hasn't happened yet, right? Remember how hot and bothered you were about Napoli last week. Just relax and have a little faith.
  10. Average =/= spotty
  11. Nor should they.
  12. "To receive compensation, the former team must tender a Qualifying Offer, the player must decline (or not accept) the offer, and the player must sign a major league contract with another major league team before the next year amateur draft. Compensation will be a supplemental round draft pick in the next draft. The supplemental round will be in reverse order of winning percentage from the recently completed season. Teams with multiple picks in the supplemental round will get those picks slotted consecutively. If two teams have the same winning percentage, the preceding seasons winning percentage is the tiebreaker."
  13. I believe the Yanks would lose their picks, but everyone gets picks for their players lost in the compensation round between the 1st and 2nd. The Sox don't take over the Yanks draft slots, they are just swept under the rug and teams pick in the compensation round. That's my understanding of it.
  14. Also, can we please not rip Ben for moves that haven't even been made yet?
  15. 30+ hrs in 170 games plus solid defense isn't "spotty results."
  16. "Middlebrooks was engaged to Ann Lux, a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, however they broke up in August 2012." - Wikipedia
  17. I thought he broke up with that chick. Who really cares if the #8 hitter has a hole in his swing but hits 30 hrs? Not me. He plays good defense and is a fine placeholder for Cecchini if he doesn't "figure it out." Even if he doesn't "figure it out," he's still good enough to start on other MLB rosters.
  18. I don't really care about the blame pie all that much. Just glad they won another WS. Larry is still the worst though.
  19. There's more than enough blame to go around. However, LL is the worst part of this organization. I don't care how SFF's car seat feels about it. f*** that guy.
  20. I actually blame John Henry too. He said he didn't support the deal and thought CC wasn't a good fit. With that amount of money, he should have stepped in and vetoed it.
  21. No. It was just a joke because A700 has always hated Theo's moves. The only time he was happy with Theo was when they signed CC. He even changed his avatar to show Theo during that offseason. That move didn't quite work out.
  22. I kinda feel this way too. He left town leaving behind an overpaid and underproductive roster. If not for Ben's fire sale and amazing yard sale finds, they don't win a WS in 2013. I do kinda wonder what 2012 would have looked like if Ben got to pick the manager.
  23. Manny Delcarmen
  24. Except when they massively overpaid CC....
