MLB 2013-14: End of the World Series, Offseason, Etc.

[Dalton]

I hope he gets kicked out of baseball for life. Not because I don't like him (I don't really care as much about PEDs as others seem too), but because while some of these bloviators like a good witch hunt, I like a good witch burning.

 

[PhilsFan]

Pete Rose was kicked out of baseball before I was alive and even I'm sick of that debate.

 

[Hewson]

Can we kick Bud Selig out of baseball?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Not before we oust Jeffrey Loria.

 

[the tourist]

Crap. That means Selig will still be around for a long time despite his impending retirement.

As a Mariners fan who was pissed at A-Rod for leaving for a "contender", I actually don't think he should get any more than Braun got.

 

[the tourist]

Loney to the Rays and it's looking like Infante to the Royals.

Teams with 1B and looking to trade them just became one suitor less and so the prices for the Mitch Morelands, Ike Davis', and Justin Smoaks of the world just went down as demind dwindles.

 

[bono_212]

Huh...we picked up a pitcher who's dad used to play Aussie Rules Football...that's cool.

 

[Hewson]

As a Mariners fan who was pissed at A-Rod for leaving for a "contender", I actually don't think he should get any more than Braun got.

Given Braun's previous transgression and villifying of an innocent courier, I think Arod frankly deserves less than Braun.

If folks in Tampa continues to stay away from Tropicana field,why not?

If Montreal wants MLB back, study shows it will need a new stadium first | National Post

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Because nobody was showing up there, either.

 

[PhilsFan]

Addison Reed for Matt Davidson happening?

 

[the tourist]

I like that trade for the White Sox. Young, good, cost controlled 3B with power and it only cost a closer?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Big youth movement for us offensively. Going to be such a different look now, with Garcia, Abreu, Eaton, and Davidson in the order. I'm excited. If we can somehow get a catcher who doesn't completely suck ass, I'd be fucking thrilled with this offseason.

 

[the tourist]

I wonder if Dunn will be traded with Abreu and Konerko also in the mix.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

It's very possible, though I wouldn't mind a Dunn/Konerko platoon with Dunn sitting against the left handers.

 

[Imperor]

 

[the tourist]

Rangers getting expensive.

 

[Dalton]

Buster Olney has said that the Tigers will win the World Series this year. Has this guy EVER been wrong?

 

[PhilsFan]

Never!

[Registered Dude]

I'm joining this thread 'cause I just realized it exists.

forget Tanaka.. any predictions for Jimenez, Garza or Santana? My Jays need some pitching, but I don't it happening.

 

[mikal]

I'm hoping this year will resemble what I thought the 2013 season would be for the Nats.

This year's HOF Class:

Maddux, Glavine and Thomas. Biggio? Piazza? Mussina?

 

[PhilsFan]

How about the dipshit that didn't vote Maddux in purely because he pitched in the steroid era but voted in Jack Morris ... who also pitched during the steroid era.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Yes, that guy is an absolute dipshit. Morris ain't getting in this year anyway.

 

[Hewson]

Isn't it obvious Maddux' 86 MPH fastball and Pillsbury doughboy physique were the result of steroids?

 

[PhilsFan]

Old baseball writers almost uniformly suck at their jobs. They've refused to get with the times on even the most basic statistics, act as moral arbitrators and manufacture outrage about the silliest of things. This has happened to an extent with all sports in the last decade as technology and analysis has taken huge strides, but baseball is easily the worst for this (only hockey is in the same ballpark).

 

[MrPryck2U]

Maddux, Glavine and Thomas- Worthy HOFers.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Poor Biggio missed by .2 percent. Damn, that's gotta suck.

 

[PhilsFan]

Barry Bonds may be the greatest hitter in baseball history and is not a first ballot Hall of Famer.

 

[Hewson]

Barry Bonds may be the greatest hitter in baseball history and is not a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Likewise Clemens is arguably one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history and not a first ballot Hall of Famer.
