The all look so sad to be leaving Boston. I really, really would like an unadulterated account of what has gone on at the top of that organization over the past 18-24 months. 30 for 30 please -
Lance Armstrong to be stripped of Tour de France titles
Derwood replied to erik316wttn's topic in Other Sports
Heard an interview today where they said that if Armstrong doesn't go to arbitration, it's akin to admitting guilt. That said, almost no one wins in arbitration anyways, so it's a lose-lose situation -

I believe it was Derwood. THAT'S MY POINT ha ha, like that would ever happen. It was vance

My first game ever was at the Vet to see Tom Seaver pitch. Must've been in '78 or '79. I barely remember it at all

May of 1993. Reds scored 1 in the top of the 1st. Cubs scored 2 in the bottom of the 9th. It was a pleasant day (upper 70's) so I wore shorts and a tee shirt, but our seats were in the shade, where it was windy and cold.

I would like to think that he tried spelling out he word "hash tag" a few times before someone helped him out

Cause we all know academic cheating is right up there with child rape. That was one terrible attempt at finger pointing. Was the writer a PSU alumni? I didn't post it because I was personally trying to compare it to the PSU situation. In fact, I don't really care about the author's smarmy tone. I am curious to see if this gains any traction, though. Seems pretty egregious. Then why post the article comparing it to psu instead of the dozens of articles about it? Happened to be the one I was reading at the time. To address CubinNY's post: here will (hopefully) never be another violation as horrific as the PSU one, but if that is now the standard by which we punish people, no other school will ever be punished for anything again. And if we assume every school has systemic academic fraud (and thus shouldn't worry about it), we might as well shut the NCAA down entirely.

Money is only good if the guy wants to stay. Best Buy told me I should hate new revenue streams, so I should hate new revenue streams. I have no idea what the [expletive] you're talking about.
-
maybe, but I can only assume Strasburg will sign wherever he feels he has the best chance to win

Please sticky this thread so SOMEONE can say "I told you so" in about a decade
-
Who said that? Nobody; just making fun of how you think the rest of the season and the postseason are "tangible." "tangible" meaning you know you're in the playoffs this year and you know you're healthy. Neither of those things is guaranteed down the line
-
Who said that?
-
The present is tangible. It's not theoretical.
-
Everyone wants to see him pitch in the playoffs. Derwood thinks he should pitch the rest of the year, precautions be damned. I think the Nats should try to win when they're in the best shape to win, not purposely handicap themselves so maybe just maybe someday they might have another chance.
-
That's a terrible analogy. Why would pitching Strasburg another 30-40 innings be equal to an nearly 100% chance of getting your fingers chopped off?
-
Wait, you're accusing other people of propping up strawmen? He's not just their ace; he's their very young ace coming back from major surgery who has never pitched nowhere near the amount of innings he'll pitch this year. I'm not implying this is your position. I'm simply asking the question.
-
So if the Cubs had the best record in baseball, you'd be cool with shutting our Ace down for some nebulous possible future?
-
I'm saying they will be in the playoffs this year, and Strasburg gives them a better chance of winning than no Strasburg. You guys are the ones saying that NOT shutting him down will hurt him down the line, which isn't something anyone can say with any certainty
-
I'm getting itchy from all the strawmen being built in this thread
