Re: Somewhat political post, non baseball

Trump may be an ego maniac, and a not so great businessman (lost $916 million back in 1995). He may a greedy sob who gives little of his fortune away. He may run his mouth too much. He might be all of these things. He's still better than crooked, rotten, corrupt, dishonest Hillary Clinton. But if Am...

Re: Somewhat political post, non baseball

After a 3 month quiet time, it's a good time to re-start this thread. Any thoughts on the election in general or the debates? My observations.... * Hillary won the first debate as Trump was not prepared. * Trump won the second and got in some ZINGERS. (The Honest Abe reference and the Hillary prison...

If you want to ask for some of the $$ -- ok. How about 1 or 2%, especially from Fanduel since they are based in NYC.
But 15%???? Madness.

Re: May 29th Gameday Thread

Good stuff. Personally I hope they find a way to keep both Fenway and Wrigley as they are now, and that the teams don't get greedy and decide to demolish them and/or move to the suburbs. Wrigley I guess is pretty safe considering all of the $$ that the team has put into the building. Fenway....who k...

Re: MLB is a joke

I'm quite certain that Utley's intensions last year were not to injure. Watched him play for a long time in Philly, he always played hard, but never dirty.

Seems like the entire issue is being driven by disgruntled Mets fans and N.S. fantasy owners who got a bad start out of him. Part of the game.

Re: MLB is a joke

There were no warnings before the game or the series. The umpires interviewed after the game admitted as much. Never before have i seen a player ejected for a purpose pitch that didn't hit a batter, without warning, however lame the pitch appeared to be. Syndergaard is a smart pitcher. He didn't wa...

Re: MLB is a joke

Ump just threw Noah out of the game for throwing behind Utley in a 0-0 game in the third. Fox Saturday night game and 1986 night at Citi. Not to mention the fantasy implications. Absolute and utter disgrace. The last thing that MLB was worried about were the "fantasy implications". This was at the ...
