Offside is far simpler than just about anything to do with baserunning.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
I love when the guy runs to first base, then second, then...uh...shortstop?
the concept of base running is simple, but there are a *ton* of rules that can make it pretty difficult to follow.
such as:

Yeah, this is the kind of thing I'm talking about.
When I talk to baseball fans about it, though, they're all "Buh?" so maybe it's my fault for reading the rules of the game.
Stop staring at the knockers in row three.
Don't look at your bastard children in the stands.
Keep your uniform clean you OCD fuck.
Rickey is telling you to be more Rickey.
You're in the NL. LOL intangibles.

Ortiz complaining about a deal? Doesn't this happen every time he approaches his final year of a contract?

He is tired of having to take roids every contract year.
The Bobby Bonilla deal.
5-year deal from the Angels incoming.
I'd sign Ortiz to that deal. $30m over 25 years would be a steal. What's $1.2m a year today, not to mention how much nothing it will be in five years? I mean if he has three productive years that's fucking awesome. Bonilla got that deal as a retirement agreement when he was clearly finished as a player and had been for a couple years.
If it was just $30m I'd do it in a heartbeat as well, but he'll probably want something significantly more than that.

Ortiz will fit in with geezers Beltran, Jeter, Ichiro, A-Roid
He just wants a long term so when he is caught using roids he knows he still has millions to make. He is almost 40 and he knows he can't get a Peralta type deal at his age so those short term deal won't fly anymore.
Said every major leaguer ever.
Do you really think baseball is that dirty of a sport? Honest question.
I believe there were dinosaurs.
Then there were humans.
Then they used every competitive advantage available to win at sports.
Then there was light beer.
You missed the part after the third step where grown men compete to see who can work out the hardest and get the biggest (in a gym, naturally) and who are so openly against PEDs that they speak out against them at any opportunity.
I do think things are silly when you get to the point where yes we are paying to see the very best athletes do the very extreme limits of what the human body is capable and yet we refuse to let them augment themselves with chemicals, but, still. I think baseball players know and understand that there is not much you can do without some natural talent and lots of work in the gym/on the practice field.
Min wage is 500k and raises with with cost of living. MLB average salary rose again to 3.39 million in 2013. So really 1.2 a year is chump. From 2003 to 2013 the average salary went from 2.372 to 3.39
One thing I do to waste time is look at how small salaries were back then on br, crazy even with inflation factored in most made 1/5 the min wage
I feel you, I think. But when the Neanderthal-looking Matt Holliday wants words with you after warmups because he saw you with the shady guy in the bulging coat last night, well you have my sympathy.
Pretty sure after he saw the shady guy, his first words would be "Stick it in my ass."
Not to belittle you but the day Matt Holliday is busted is the day the Sox trade Papi to the Yanks and begin the next 80-year drought. The dude is all about beasting in the gym and I'm sure he takes tons of shit (orally, not anally), but nothing banned. He would be one of the biggest hypocrites in our era if he got busted for anything.
Carl Everett you ain't.
You can't train with McGwire and be considered clean.
You missed the part where kids from latin america are trying to secure a big pay day that will lift them and their families out of poverty.
Not Kuroda.
You can use PED and not get caught, unless you're naive and only think the people that have been caught are the ones that have used ever. Are you a Cardinals fan by chance?
Blackace

Not super hard... two players can't occupy a base... lead runner has priority...
The running bases in reverse order is an obscure rule that could be deleted one day soon
Looks like Jerry Remy will be returning to the booth this season for the Red Sox! I'll be glad to have him back.
