for me I didn't even know he was a Dodger, as far as I knew he was a career long met lol.

to be fair the late 90s is when I started paying attention to baseball as a whole instead of just the white sox, and even then I never paid much attention to the NL until the last few years

He is a dodger to me. Fuck him!

 

[zulux21]

He is a dodger to me. Fuck him!

so I think I need to be educated here.
what went down in the late 90s that people are passionate about dodger vs met?

Ehhhh this is all more Dodger vs Giant. When we all know the A's are the true heroes here.

Or how about the time he was a Marlin, but never played?

Wait, that was Mike Lowell.

Giants just agreed to a 3 year contract for Denard Span, pending a physical.

Just saw this.
So, Blanco - Span - Pence in the outfield. Not bad!

 

[Corran Horn]

Feels like a good deal. Span was doing well for Nats before getting hurt right?

Lets see if he can play LF till Pagan gets hurt like he does every year then he can be our CF lol.

 

[Frozenprince]

The Mets seriously can't afford to take a chance on a guy with 4 WAR upside for 3 years at 11M AAV?

Really?

Le Batard was one of the ones that didn't vote for Griffey.

Good finally his show on ESPN can be canceled.


Also No surprises on the Hats of theHoF'ers

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Pretty sure LeBatard trolls on purpose just to expose how absurd the process is. For fucks sake he admitted to selling his vote last year and still has one.

No he doesn't. The BBWAA doesn't give him a ballot anymore after his stunt last year. Him saying he didn't vote for Griffey was a troll.

Maeda's incentives per Fangraphs: "Maeda can earn an extra $10 million-plus a year by hitting 30 games started and 200 innings pitched a year."

Feast or Famine contract.

hmmm you are at 29 stars and 180 innings...

your arm is looking tired... we are gonna throw you in the bullpen for the rest of the season

Contract negotiated by Zenimax!

I wouldn't be surprised though if there are actually interim benchmarks. Or at least for his sake I hope there are. He's been good for 200 (or close) innings the last few years in NPB (with a shorter season and fewer starts due to 6-man), so the question is probably whether he can pitch well enough to get that many starts and whether the mystery elbow holds together.

 

[jello44]

So... remember back when the Cardinals hacked the Astros?

[Little Green Yoda]

Chris Correa apparently went into the ex-Cards employee's email after a system wide password reset so he could take another peek at the Astros' database. Damn lol.

Damn.... this is bad.

The best franchise in baseball.

all that bullshit for two fucking lines, lmao

Also, offtopic, how does a Vancouverite (I'm assuming) become a Cards fan?

You

Bruh, you think I'm a Cards fan? I'm hurt.

Wait

I think I am confused, yeah I am confused

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Bruh, you think I'm a Cards fan? I'm hurt.

There's no shame in rooting for the most storied franchise in the senior circuit!

Banning the cardinals from Major League Baseball would be a reasonable course of action I think.

 

[Windu]

Time to bring out the GAF MLB team chart again.

 

[jello44]

Wait

I think I am confused, yeah I am confused

Am I being trolled? Or did this knucklehead really think Cygnus was a Cards fan?

Banning the cardinals from Major League Baseball would be a reasonable course of action I think.

Agreed.

 

[Frozenprince]

I think something reasonable like, say, taking an entire draft and IFA period away from them.

 

[Corran Horn]

Bruh, you think I'm a Cards fan? I'm hurt.

You are now a Cards fan. At least you have a recent world series win.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

The salt when the Cardinals only get hit by a fine is gonna be great

 

[CygnusXS]

You are now a Cards fan. At least you have a recent world series win.

I mean, if I'm switching to a team that I despise, I might as well become a Giants fan right?

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 2m2 minutes ago

Revere for storen about to go down, MLB source says

 

[zroid]

Thank fuck, I was honestly getting worried they were going to keep Revere

That's $7 Million of no thanks!

 

[BigJonsson]

Cecil, Sanchez, Storen, Osuna in the pen isn't terrible


I really hope Saunders can not freakishly injure himself or Pompey can actually play

 

[zroid]

Rosenthal says it's done. YAY!

I really hope Saunders can not freakishly injure himself

Same, I'm fine with Pompey in LF tho. I expect Saunders and Pompey will be competing for that starting LF spot in the spring anyways.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Revere! Your awkward exuberance will be missed.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Revere traded I see. His base running will be missed

 

[The Elite]

I will miss that guy but this is something the Jays could realistically do.

 

[jbug617]

Nice trade for the Jays

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Ben Revere was a good guy. Good Luck with the Nationals

Not sure the lads are done. Scout tells me Dickey in play.

Can't wait for the Anthopolous hardons to blast this trade.

I guess the training wheels are off the new GM?
