  1. Yeah Jacko!! Boo Yankees!! Yankees s*ck!! But, yeah Jacko!
  2. Smoke? The smoke was the sudden surge to All Star caliber player from a slew of players who couldn’t cut it with other teams. This might be the actual fire...
  3. How long before we see proposals for a 10 game season followed by a 16 team postseason tournament?
  4. Not really surprising. Not having a second round pick in a five round draft does make having one of the top draft classes extremely difficult...
  5. I thought Yorke’s draft stock fell due to an injury his senior year...
  6. Ed Howard is a local Chicago kid. He’s the star shortstop at Mount Caramel High School, a school with an incredible reputation for athletic alumni. Notables include Denny McLain, Simeon Rice, Antoine Walker, Donovan NcNabb and Chris Calloway, among others...
  7. A lot of players don’t play the same position in MLB that they played in high school. For all we know, this kid could wind up at catcher....
  8. Agreed. MLB had one heck of an opportunity here. No other sports. Everyone pinned at home. No new television or forms of entertainment. But because neither side could find a way to agree, we all decided by default to become entrenched in the lives of midwestern idiots who like to keep tigers as pets...
  9. There were a few stories about NBA progress for salvaging their season. They pretty much all revolves around how many teams would be going to the post season...
  10. It does look like the owners are being very short-sighted. Sure they might lose cash this year If there’s a shortened season. But no season will likely cut deeper into next year’s profits and beyond. And will they use their typical fix to raise quick cash - expansion? That’s not going to bolster the game’s popularity except maybe in the new cities...
  11. At Fenway? Certainly Torii Hunter and Adam Jones (and Carl Crawford) agree. But other parks? Did Hunter have other teams on his NTC for that reason? Unlike most of us, he’s been to all or nearly all of them...
  12. Two reasons: 1. Daisike did purportedly throw a lot of IP in Japan, but this also created the possibility that he was already overworked. 2. Most Japanese teams use 6 man rotations.
  13. The first I heard of this kind of thing was when the Celtics drafted Dee Brown and he was accosted by police while house-hunting in Wellesley...
  14. Despite not being old for a free agent, Sandoval was in decline and asking for a ton of years and money. It was a perfect s*** storm. Valbuena was a stopgap player at best, but never played for anything other than an appropriate contract...
  15. I was vehemently anti-Sandoval and NEVER thought he made sense. Granted, my choice that off-season (the late Luis Valbuena) wasn’t all that much better, but at least his ineffectiveness was more affordable...
  16. They can always apply for food stamps. Although I believe you’re limited to domestic caviar over imported. But, hey, we all have to tighten our belts sometimes...
  17. Crawford was coming off an MVP-caliber season and the Sox were making zero headway with Ellsbury/Boras. He did make a lot of sense as a target, especially since retaining Ellsbury looked less likely by the day. But he simply did not pan out. As for least favorite Sox player, I’m still more down on Sandoval than Crawford...
  18. I jumped in midstream on that. Didn’t look back. Looking back is for slackers...
  19. Nope. I'm just gonna learn to hit like Lefty O'Doul. (How is he not in Cooperstown?)
  20. Oh if I was only one dollar short...
  21. I’m slower, apparently...
  22. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/carl-crawford-arrested-domestic-violence-charge-dodgers-red-sox-rays-mlb-220010691.html
  23. Well, he is unlikely to get 502 plate appearances. But if he gets 201 hits 201+ at bats, he could “Tony Gwynn Rule” himself into a legitimate .400 average....
  24. Kurkjian did say it would be a legitimate season and would count. There will be a legitimate champion. And if Albert Pujols passes Willie Mays for career home runs, then Mays moves down a notch. (Pujols is only 4 HR behind.) But if, say, Jeff McNeil hits .400, or Jake deGrom posts an ERA below 1.12, that would not and should count as a legitimate record...
  25. Watching KBO this morning (LG vs Kiwoon), and Tim Kijurkian came on. He said there would be a season - guessing 48 games - and expected it to start in late July/early August timeframe. He drew this conclusion from speaking to some unnamed source...
