I like the Ms jersey just wish the trident was back.

 

[Chris R]

Trident comes back for retro night and only retro night.

Are The M's going to get their offense back with that uni?

The Mariners scored 1 more run than the Yankees last year.

Probably cause of Cano solely. Suck on that Yankees!


I'm contemplating buying a Seager jersey in that new style ... cause why the fuck not. I live in Connecticut though so I could only rep it proudly at Fenway and Yankee Stadium as I usually do with my old Ichiro jersey ...

 

[Windu]

so I just found this book at my brother-in-law's house.

CC takes over Santa Claus's job. He brings in Stenbrenner to run the operation. Stienbrenner brings in former players back as slave labor.

Well they were 19th in wRC+ last season, so it's not like they were the worst or anything. They were only slightly behind playoff darlings the Royals.

Fangraphs has them projected at 4.2 runs per game for 2015, good for 4th in the AL.

Wouldn't be surprised. Should be a nice offense.

 

[Chris R]

If the pitching is as good as it was most of last year I think we have a chance to make the playoffs, and that's all I want.

Mr. Cub

He was my mom's favorite baseball player when she was growing up.

=(

 

[dabig2]

Just heard the news and wanted to come in here and say RIP Mr Cub. Legend. My parents loved the guy. Too bad he couldn't live to see the Cubs win a 'chip (well, I doubt any of us will).

 

[Ryaaan14]

RIP

Amazing human being

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Damn...

Sad night, wish Ernie and Ronnie could have been with us for the next few years.

Oh wow Ernie Banks. ;( RIP

 

[BFIB]

I was born hating the Cubs, but you can't hate Ernie Banks.

RIP to one of the more underrated players, and condolences Cubbie fans.

 

[Sanjuro]

There goes the Cubs.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

R.I.P Mr. Cub.

'91 child saying who the fuck was ernie banks besides a name?

[zychi]

Teddy died before the curse broke, right?

 

[jakncoke]

Too bad Ernie couldnt see a Cubs WS but then again no one can live forever waiting

edit; Ernie Banks salary in his rookie season was 2000

Duke Snider was making 26k
Stan Musial 75k (TSN claims 80)
Robin Roberts 37.5

Clayton Kershaw and his wife had a baby girl yesterday named Cali Ann Kershaw.

I wonder if his seed carries his talent. Imagine a Kershaw bloodline full of amazing pitchers. The Dodgers may have figured out a way to build an entire pitching staff full of Kershaws.

 

[BFIB]

Happy Saturday!

Seems like the Papelbon to Mil trade is pretty much dead.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Ted Lilly charged with three felonies relating to insurance fraud. He is facing five years in prison.

Seems like the Papelbon to Mil trade is pretty much dead.

Yep. Papelbon is refusing to waive his no-trade clause unless the Brewers guarantee his 2016 $13 million option. The Brewers don't want to, so it looks dead.

Never thought I'd miss Selig but already hate Manfred more in a single day as commish. What a fucking hack.

What his letter to the masses?

disgusting

 

[CygnusXS]

This is very telling: I ran Rob Manfred's idea to limit defensive shifts by two sabermetrically inclined GMs -- and both said they agree.

Both essentially said same thing: The game is better when the casual fans gets the product they want. Big concern baseball isn't delivering.

To paraphrase: Who do casual fans want to see compete, Clayton Kershaw and Mike Trout or Andrew Friedman and Jerry Dipoto?

Another GM: "At some point we can't pretend our game is divine and will fix itself. It is getting boring."

Another suggestion that didn't get traction at GM meetings but could be on the table: Relief pitchers must pitch to more than one batter.

The idea: The platoon advantage has, in many ways, turned the sixth through ninth innings into a strikeout festival. Could mitigate it some.

So much awfulness.

 

[Windu]

He said he was open to banning defensive shifts. /boothisman.gif

edit: oh god so much more. fuck this guy

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Fuck casual baseball fans.
Manfred already sounds like a nightmare.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Jays have stopped their pursuit of Dan Duquette.

 

[eznark]

Manfred already a bigger piece of shit than Selig.

 

[clemenx]

Bring back Bud!

Guys need to learn how to hit into holes or fucking bunt.
