  1. Possibly,. I have heard him talk in the past about how he no longer goes out and talks to the people in the field any more. But that doesn't mean he has no contacts, or that he still has any. Also as I moved out of Massachusetts a couple decades ago, I am not sure if he still operates the same way...
  2. It will if we get all the chemists together with their discoveries, determine the best one scientifically, and then execute all the chemists. Search is over...
  3. Well then, I will get right on signing him...
  4. With other perks? Like we let them wear the Wally costume once per week?
  5. With the same frequency and damage as cars?
  6. Yet for some odd reason, the Public Perception is more often to side with the owners...
  7. I never heard of horse colliding with another horse...
  8. Yep. All Hyundais are capable of making is air pollution and owner frustration...
  9. Was Shaughnessy - who is a coulmnist and not a beat guy who goes out and actually talks to people - citing any actual sources or is this just pure conjecture?
  10. I know. Horses are so much better. Horses run on grass and hay and never require gasoline. They can heal themselves as opposed to going into the garage. You never have to worry about spare parts. And when your horse gets too old, it can make it's own replacement! Let's see your stinkin' Hyundai do that!!! But how many of the dissenters are willing to give up their cars and get a horse? After all, for a very, very long time, the horse was exactly how transportation had always been done...
  11. I live among Cubs fans who, for decades, embraced the team’s failure. Fans who proudly wore shirts that said “1908 World Series Champions” into the 2000’s. And who used phrases like “lovable losers” and sold out Wrigley even with the team in last place in August. Is this what to expect from Mariners’ fans? Rather than embrace their teams failure, they start a new and completely useless concept of combining wins across multiple seasons to prove the team is competent but just unlucky, rather than coming to another obvious conclusion that the team is consistently mediocre and still never good enough?
  12. FWIW the Red Sox and their fans don’t take delight in doing better than teams that punt…
  13. “The way it’s always been” is not a good reason to maintain the status quo. Ever. Anywhere. In any field or any job or any situation…
  14. We have the ability to improve the officiating of baseball, especially in the most difficult task for any referee/umpire in any sport. Why is that a bad thing?
  15. NOBODY likes Rick Sutcliffe. Not even Mrs. Sutcliffe. She just says she does because it gets him out of the house every Sunday…
  16. As long as it’s Workingman’s Dead. New Speedway Boogie is just perfect for baseball. Or any activity…
  17. Seriously? THAT is the example you're going to use? It's not even pertinent, since you used an example where the automation did the same job as the people who were replaced. Calling balls and strikes is not the province of the players. Or are you thinking bout how when pin boys were replaced by a system that reset the pins automatically in every bowling alley, and then within hours, there was nothing but robot bowlers? Oh wait. That didn't happen. And really, proving it is foolish is done quite easily. The last few pages of this thread offer evidence to that effect. Just because you deny this proven truth does not make it less proven...
  18. The Reds did get absolutely screwed that season...
  19. I have no problem with ARod on ESPN. He's infinitely better than Rick Sutcliffe...
  20. Good thing Branch Rickey wasn't a fan of tradition...
  21. I thought it all went downhill when they started letting pitchers throw overhand...
  22. It is somewhat amazing fans will embrace actual game-altering changes to the game, like specialized bullpens, DH's (but in one league only!!!), 3 batter minimums, fouls balls as strikes, foul poles and no more "last seen fair", 162 game schedules, free agency, mound visits, banned pitches, instant replay, etc. And fans are accept it. But someone proposes improving the ball and strikes calling, and suddenly it's the end of the game as we know it..
  23. If Kike plays 2B, then Arroyo effectively becomes the 4th OF...
  24. Nope. Next question...
  25. Are you sure that is not already happening?
