  1. As pitchers, the only thing Scherzer and Price have in common is their contracts.
  2. If the AL can get 7 from Sale, it would give their BP a well-earned rest.
  3. It doesn't appear that the nickname 'BIG GAME' will ever be used to describe Price.
  4. Once upon a time the ASG was played as a matter of pride by the players to prove their league was better than the other. The gams was played seriously and was good entertainment because it was played seriously. Now we've come to a time where that pride of league pretty much doesn't exist and the game is almost played with the seriousness of the celebrity softball game. Just a gathering of super rich people getting together for a pick-up ballgame. Unfortunately, if one wants the game to be played seriously now, money has to be involved. Perhaps if the players on the winning team each receives half a million dollars and the players on the losing team get nothing, the game would probably be played with more seriousness. That's me definitely being cynical, but I really believe it, seriously.
  5. On another thread I posted that as of today our starting staff was the following: Sale Hope Hope Hope Hope The four Hopes are 1)Price pitches the rest of the season as if he's worth at least half his contract; 2)Porcello bounces back after a terrible start; 3)E-rod comes back sooner rather than later; and 4)Wright also comes back soon, or DD can try to find another starter. I believe POR will rebound, however the other 3 Hopes are going to be tough to achieve. After a storybook 1st 98 games, let's Hope this book has a happy ending.
  6. If there has to be a HR derby, I believe the fair way to declare a winner is to have all 8 hitters go two rounds and whoever has the most HR's after those two rounds wins. If there's a tie, then those hitters do a 2 minute round to determine a winner.
  7. Didn't you watch the celebrity softball game? AL won so they get home field advantage in the WS.
  8. The one time E-rod did hustle to cover 1st and look what happened. Better if he had just stayed on the mound.
  9. There's a lot of openings recently in the picking fruit job market.
  10. That should increase Harper's WAR #.
  11. You know you're a redneck when your dad's name is Possum.
  12. I think his dad's name is Possum.
  13. If the powers that be ever do a DELIVERANCE 2, Harper would be perfect for it. That guy just screams DUELING BANJOS.
  14. This Max Muncy of the Dodgers seems to have a career line similar to JD Martinez.
  15. The slug known as Bryce Harper seems awfully happy for a guy batting .214. This is a player who is very easy to dislike. The love child of Roger Clemens and A-rod.
  16. The SOX record for Grand Slams in a season is 9. This is the 5th season the SOX have done it. The all-time record is 14. The 2000 A's and the 2006 Guardians.
  17. I think if Toronto traded him, Martin would consider that bonus enough.
  18. Hembree's another guy where 3 outs is just one out too many in an inning.
  19. Russell Martin is a damn good catcher.
  20. He doesn't want to go back to Japan. He remarked that he didn't like it there.
