    The more I read about the new CBA, the more I hate it. I think I should just stop reading about it.
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    Dammit dad! Not again...

    Yep, they need to either add that award to do away with the Cy. I would propose adding a hitters award in each league, then only have 1 MVP for all of baseball chosen from the 4 award winners.
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    Good for Verlander and I am all for a pitcher being able to win the MVP, but then aren't we missing an award? Why not add another award for the Most Outstanding hitter?
  5. Irrelevant Dude
    And that is just the playoffs.

    I wish him luck, but I am really surprised he is returning to AAA. It seems if he really wants to increase his chances of getting a Major League manager job in the future, he would be looking for a position on an MLB staff... but maybe he can't get one of those either.

    The Christmas Day game just became much less interesting, but the remaining games on the schedule are all winnable. That means the Bears just need Hanie to lead them to 3 wins out of 5 games against the Raiders, Chiefs, Broncos, Seahawks, and Vikings. That is certainly do-able.

    Jeff George.

    Fine with me!

    "Another Tim Tebow night!"
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    He has 172 freaking total yards and that is a "magical game." He had a good drive... ONE good drive.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    I hate life.
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    The crowd is chanting Tebow and the announcers are talking like he is taking over the game. I am going to puke.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    Hey Broncos fans, this is what you asked for. Enjoy!

    If the Jets QB was Tom Brady, you can't tell me that wouldn't have been a late hit.

    This Quarterback play on both sides makes me want to poke out my eyes with a fork.

    I am in this camp, although it is probably closer to 2 AB's that pitchers actually take per game. The strategy is part of the reason I prefer National League rules, but I also like that a team's entire 25-man roster matters in the National League more than it does in the American League because every player on the bench could see action on any given night.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Hell no. Plus I don't think anyone ever said there would be more interleague play. I believe it will just be spread throughout the season.

    Luckily being the manager doesn't involve standing down the 3rd base line and waving runners home right? Bullet dodged. Unless your name is Ron Washington.

    I was dreading the mispronounciation of Mackanin, so I can live with Sveum.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Ken Rosenthal is reporting the same thing.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Swam with a long A. As a kid, I remember calling him Dale Suh-vee-um. Damn those baseball cards for not telling me how to pronounce it.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    I can't tell you how often I hear friends or acquaintances make the comment, "baseball season is too long." To me, that is really just saying "I'm not a baseball fan." It is kind of like saying, "I love Breaking Bad, but I wish the season was only 8 episodes long." Why would anyone who enjoys baseball root for the season to be shorter? For me, the 4+ months without baseball already feels like an eternity. Why would anyone want a shorter season, which only results in a longer offseason. This is really just a rant/pet peeve based on a conversation I had with a friend while I count down the days to Spring Training.

    I should put a website up real quick and post an article that the Cubs have informed me that Alomar will be the next manager. I have a 25% chance of being right and nothing to lose.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    I'm not sure how this would work, but I wonder if the Cubs perceived interest in Sveum could be used as leverage in the compensation talks with the Red Sox. "We know you want Sveum, so we will back off him if you will accept this reduced compensation package."
