KEEP BOSH OUT OF HOUSTON jesus

Is this a joke? Will he even get half that?

How do you figure that Cleveland's bench makes as much sense as a team with Noah and Rose? Because Varejao is better than Noah. And because Williams+Jamison aren't really worse than Rose+Deng, and at the very least are better suited to LeBron's game. Um...ok. That's not true though. woah look at nba superfan here all of a sudden at least let lebron sign with the bulls before you get all bandwagony

Yup well if you're going to twist your panties up every time someone disagrees with you and is a little rude, what's the point of stating your opinions? Either make better points or just stop, because saying something dumb and then crying about a personal attack any time someone gets short with you is a little pointless

giving joe johnson the max would be disastrous

i'm not kidding when i say that in the last week i have heard at least 15 times how dwyane wade is "acting as pat riley's personal recruitment assistant" or something to that effect. It seems really dumb to pretend that these guys can't talk to each other about their plans.
-
you're veering into colin cowherd territory (it's the hall of fame, not the "hall of very good") here ? that's a pretty baseless comparison. ultimately, the all-star game is an exhibition game. it's primary purpose is so gather up the biggest stars in the game and put them on one stage for one night. no, its primary purpose has always been to reward the players who had the best first halves. that's why you had tim wakefield, edwin jackson, aaron hill, ben zobrist, brandon inge, jason bartlett, nelson cruz, adam jones, hunter pence, brad hawpe, jason marquis, ryan franklin and heath bell on the all star teams last year. none of those guys are giant stars of the game. putting a guy like strasburg on the all star team would be completely out of place with what has been done in baseball pretty much forever. Truffle pretty much made my point better than I did. I'm going to piggyback onto this. "well i've got nothing where's a good post i can just quote and pretend that's what i meant ah here it is"
-
Uh, how can the players be charged with tampering? Because these players are not "FREE AGENTS" yet, they are still employed by the current team until July 1st. As such, these players are still a respresentative of said teams. Which means, like their organizations these players cannot BY NAME talk about another team's player who is still technically under contract. Hence, tampering. lol, no

i am all for a salary cap in baseball, i think it would be good for the sport, long term. but only if it's instituted after the cubs win a world series with a 250 million dollar payroll
-
He was arguing on overall popularity in the national media, not past track records, and I responded in kind. What kind of past MLB track record does Strasburg have? 5 starts? The argument was solely about popularity and "who the fans want to see." I very much doubt anyone outside of Milwaukee or possibly an NL Central city would be super excited to see Yovani Gallardo in action, as good as he is, because he doesn't have dozens of national media at all of his starts like Strasburg does. Again, I'm not saying that Strasburg isn't popular or that he hasn't put up great numbers so far. But since the stupid HFA rule has been attached to the game you have to look at stats, too. However, seeing as you can't debate with anyone without resorting to insults and immaturity, I'm done debating this with you. jesus you're obtuse. the selections aren't done ONLY with stats in mind or ONLY with popularity in mind, so what is the point of your argument
-
greinke and gallardo have a little more of a track record that boesch. are you being serious here or is this just some weird "pretend to be an espn anchor" thing
-
You kind of proved my point. Strasburg has been fantastic since he's been up. So has Boesch. Of course Strasburg has the higher career ceiling by far, but if you're going to put him in after only 7 career starts, how can you pass on Boesch after 60-some career games when he's been great, too. For those who don't know, through 53 games Boesch is .330/.389/.621 with 12 HR and 43 RBI. "For those who don't know" illustrates perfectly why he's not a candidate for the ASG. So even though he's put up really good stats in the 1/3rd of a year since he's been up, as has Strasburg, Boesch shouldn't get in because he doesn't have the hype or the media following? Welp, I guess that eliminates Gallardo and Greinke. if you took 11 OF or whatever, I'm sure they might be able to find a place for Boesch.

-
maybe erik is just roleplaying as john kruk
-
You don't "have to put brennan boesch in there if you put strasburg in." that's stupid, position players are voted in, pitchers aren't. You're not really going to compare 50 flukey games by brennan boesch to what strasburg is doing, right?
-
So we're going to send every pitcher who has 7 good starts leading up to the ASB? What if he gets knocked around his next 2 starts? Are you going to feel the same way? I don't disagree with you that he's a great pitcher with awesome stuff and he's done a very good job thus far. But 7 starts is a sample size. That's about 20% of a full season. Anyone can have a good 1/5th of a year. That's not to say he won't continue, as he most likely will. But none of us know that for certain. the all star game is about winning (i guess. i mean, you want home field), sending the best players, and sending the players that people want to see. He's 3/3.
-
who cares how many outings or innings or whatever. you want to win the game, send the best players. is anyone going to really say he's not one of the 7 best starters in the nl? he literally fits every meaningful criteria
-
lol
-
he's the bert and ernie of that board or whatever that oriole's idiot's name was
-
i hope this super team happens so i can laugh when it fails miserably not necessarily the bosh/bron/rose thing, but like a bron/johnson/wade thing.
-
also, man i love those light blue rays jerseys
