  1. It was somewhat explainable for the world series cause the teams played a different set of opponents all year. That's the same scenario in every sport, though. Record-based HFA makes a lot more sense than "winner of the All-Star game" HFA. Only the NFL does things differently, because it's a single game at a neutral site. Now, if baseball decided on a seven-game series all at a neutral site, then maybe it'd be acceptable. exactly. No one is taking HFA away from the Celtics because they play in a weaker conference (they killed the West, I know, but the point stands) it seems like baseball often goes to great lengths to avoid doing the obvious
  2. i was told there would be no math
  3. MLB's absolute insistence that HFA doesn't just go to the team with the best record is mind-numbing in its stupidity
  4. He actually never won 100 with those guys. HE didn't. I would.
  5. and your point is....? his point is that Wood is terrible in the narrow range of made up situations he has invented to prove his point
  6. Theres only one 10:40 start against the Dodgers, and its on Friday. Th - 10:10 EST F - 10:40 EST Sa - 3:55 EST Su - 8:05 EST And then back to Wrigley and normal start times one is enough ;)
  7. jebus, another late game. i'm going to be a wreck by the end of the week, especially when we have a string of FTH? 10:40 EDT starts in LA
  8. anyone know where I can buy some Cialis?
  9. how the hell do we have 3 HR in this park?
  10. why can't people just make normal ballparks
  11. He tied the record for most wins in a season with Seattle. And I pretty sure if you were a manager of that team they would say I'm playing for this idiot and you wouldn't win 100 games :clapping: . I would beat them with sticks if they said such a thing
  12. Give us the highlights of Obama's speech, and it's a deal! :) it's hard to say, the crowd is cheering so loud it's hard to hear him
  13. keep the play by play coming. i'm watching Obama's speech here
  14. You were supposed to not post in Edmonds threads while he was going good. Now he's gonna tank. meatball
  15. maybe mlb.com (which runs all the team sites) wants a uniformity to the start times?
  16. i'm pretty sure that I could have managed the Mariners to 100 wins if I had Johnson, A-Rod, Griffey, the Martinez's, etc.
  17. Matt LaPorta should be first in that line. They could revolutionalize the game with their new 3 1B lineup! Or they could petition to move back to the AL... :-k they would have to pay trademark fees to Hendry, who already patented the "Four second basemen lineup" last year
  18. Yeah, nobody is talking crap about him, to do what he's doing after three years off and with basically no minor league seasoning is astounding. But you gotta hit a ton of homeruns if you're going to be the best player in baseball with a .375 OBP. and only a .044 IsoD to boot.
  19. they sent TT down? what is the NSBB farm team these days?
  20. how much money is Sabathia getting paid this year? if the Cubs take on all the remainder of the contract, they probably won't have to give up as much as you think
  21. at what point do we start a 2008-2009 thread?
