I think my problem with soccer has always been the lack of scoring. If there was an 'arena football' type version of soccer I might be more interested.
-
Hey, don't forget Nomar.
-
Right. I think the soccer player would be more likely to look not only silly, but terrified.
-
No doubt. I guess the only question is, who would look sillier: a) Major league slugger trying to play major league soccer; or Major league soccer player trying to hit major league pitching.
-
True, OTOH what MLB hitters have is extraordinary eye-hand coordination.
-
Absolutely, but it's also true that without good players there's not much sense owning a baseball team. And it's the owners who have wanted some players enough to hand them $300 million plus guaranteed contracts...
-
Yes, the union would love it if Tony Clark told them that. Many have criticized the players for caving in and taking a bad deal in the last CBA. (Just a man looking for an argument here.)
-
Seems like they're closing in on a deal now for a 60 or 70 game season.
-
Well, he did accept risk by turning down the offers he did. Certainly no one expected that one of the risks would be a pandemic.
-
Probably not a big issue. Who's going to want to spend after this disaster? Sorry, Mookie...
-
You're saying they would have to re-set again?
-
If that's it, there are 22 to 24 who do. But I'm guessing there are a number of undecideds.
-
Big Papi against the shift? Maybe not tremendously exciting, but any hit by a Red Sox player is generally a good thing.
-
Bunting for hits is fun to see. Bunting for outs, not so much.
-
Not sure if Goodell is any better. I think maybe the NFL is just harder to f*** up.
-
Baseball is clearly the most f***ed up of the major sports.
-
A fluke is a fluke - I like Bloom but not even I will be crediting him for foreseeing a pandemic.
-
Now this is some sweet hyperbole right here.
-
Now I think you're getting carried away a bit. How are the owners 'demonizing' the players? Looks to me like they're just playing a little hardball on the salaries.
-
You can be wacky sometimes.
-
True enough. My position here is just that Cora's punishment was sufficient for what he did.
-
I'm going with that too.
-
I wouldn't call what happened to Cora a slap on the wrist. He was banned for a year, fired and humiliated. The washout of the season is just a fluke that has affected a lot of things.
-
Good stuff. I'm a big fan of HV III, love to see him win one, or make some serious money at least.
-
Which is so different from the other major sports, right? More evidence that baseball is a tough and tricky game, I guess.
