why would you put Sosa so low? -
there's no way that certain teams (yankees/red sox) would agree to that. and frankly it would be unfair to them. they didn't have a wildcard pre-1993. It's not unprecedented to have both teams not make the playoffs every year. I'm pretty sure that the D-Backs wanted to be an AL team since the time they were created, so they would seem like the natural team to move in an expansion scenario It's not that the Yankees and Red Sox have to make the playoffs, but that generally they are two of the best teams in the AL so having them in the same division wouldn't be fair to them if only one of them was going to make the playoffs every year. It doesn't just go for those two teams but for the divisions in general. The year the Mariners won 116 games, the A's won 100+ and had the second best record in the AL. Under the four divisions, four teams per division, one playoff spot per division format, that team would have missed the playoffs. well you can't expand the playoffs anymore unless you cut some regular season games I never said the playoffs had to be expanded. so you're arguing against a 4 division per league format then.

I think you have to use the DFA method and expose him to waivers in order to get him to the minors. Eyre will be traded, probably for a PTBNL in the next 10 days. If not, somebody will claim him in the waiver process. Zero chance anyone claims Scott Eyre off waivers. 100% chance someone does. Shall I say it again for emphasis? No one is going to take on a $1+ million commitment for two months of a mediocre (at best) relief pitcher who has a very real chance of being horrible. sure they will

I heard Frank Calliendo on the Cleveland ESPN radio station yesterday and he said that the advertising for Frank TV would be "twice what it was last year". He joked that if that were the case, there might not be any baseball to show

ESPN said Joba Chamberlain should be the AL Cy frontrunner
Derwood replied to badnews's topic in General Baseball Talk
either way, he doesn't seem to pull for teams much (besides lamenting the Jets). Golic is more of a homer with his ND ties -

i'm not so sure. he tends to get painted this way because he grew up in the burbs and went to Northwestern -
Should happen: Eyre DFA's Will happen: Marshall sent down

Now THERE is an overrated Cardinal. Good lord. HE DID BACKFLIPS!!!!! I've always sorta hated Ozzie and McGee and those guys because my first favorite baseball team was the '82 Brewers (I was 7 and living in Racine at the time) and they beat the Crew in the WS that year -
