Those top three comments are spectacular... http://i.imgur.com/s8JTG1g.png

I think he'll be the biggest ticket on the FA market this offseason. He turned down a 6-year $144 million extension. Either he thinks he can get/wants more than that on the open market or he really didn't want to stay in Detroit, but I'm guessing it's the former. And there's nothing he did this season that would make teams say he doesn't deserve that type of money. He's going to cost a [expletive] load, so I'd guess cost and the fact that it seems he wants a a long term extension which this FO is not likely to offer. -
I know you feel wronged, but I think calling it treason is a bit strong. lol I usually groan when people Cuse people's misspellings, but this one made me giggle. Hahaha, didn't even notice. Honestly after I saw that I still get some postseason games I was kind of happy. Weird rules though. You can watch every ALDS and ALCS game, but only like 5 NL NLDS and NLCS games. But you get to watch every World Series game so that's kind of awesome. The weird thing is, with a cable package, I believe you can stream every postseason game on each station's respective apps. The only game I haven't been able to stream was Cardinals/Dodgers game 2, which was on MLB Network....and there's only 1 more MLB Network game left on the schedule, tonight's Giants/Nats game. Rest are on Fox, Fox Sports 1 and TBS. Maybe the MLB gets more restrictive as the playoffs go on, who knows. Yeah, the downside is you need a cable TV provider to get access to them, which I don't have, but I just use my parents DirecTV account to get it so it's all good. But the mere fact they assumed I had a provider and just charged me for another month was kind of crappy. FWIW, here's the remaining schedule for anyone wondering http://i.imgur.com/hMxuqTf.png

Is there a treason MLB charged me for MLB.tv today when the season is over and there's nothing to watch unless I signup for their playoff service? Ugh, nevermind, they allow specific games for MLB.tv subscribers. Weak. I could've used that $25, lol

I guess this should be bumped too if we're gonna update threads pertaining to specific pitchers. http://www.bleachernation.com/2014/10/03/phillies-reportedly-will-try-to-trade-cole-hamels-this-offseason-cubs-interested/ Don't think the Cubs will get him because Amaro is a doofus who will probably ask for Bryant and Soler or something outlandish, but their previous interest probably means there will be lots of rumors, so might as well bump it.
-
It's really ridiculous. Guys have gotten thrown out for merely touching an ump and he physically shoves him out of the way. To be fair it didn't seem like he was going after the ump, merely just moving him out of the way (it wasn't an intense shove by any means and seemed in the heat of the moment), but that's still no excuse when they have pretty much a zero tolerance for players touching them every other [expletive] time in the history of being touched.

I call sandwiches Sammies, Sandoozles, or Adam Sandlers

As someone who just spent the last 3 months mostly in California, you are wrong. There is a distinct difference between Mexican and Tex Mex. You are describing Tex Mex which is bastardized American influenced Mexican food. I've also had a taco with beans in it. It's not difficult, nor did it make it a burrito. Taco = one base, folded into two sides with an open air top Burrito = one base, folded over and wrapped up to an enclosed concoction. This isn't rocket science.

I looked up his stats and saw he's been okay but my god when i saw him on TV I thought "Who murdered Garret Cole?!?"
-
Nice! That will prepare him for playing in Miami when he's traded for Stanton
-
Buster Olney speculated that if the A's go into a rebuilding process this offseason that Josh Donaldson is a likely trade candidate. He would be nice.

Not entirely baseball related, but... http://www.politico.com/story/2014/09/nfl-blackout-rule-fcc-111441.html Now turn your attention to baseball and fix that nightmare, please.

7th most valuable player in baseball. Not tonight Not in baseball either

Has anyone addressed the fact or taken into consideration that hot dogs are meat and not a combo entity of meat and bread? I still stand by the fact that sandwiches are defined by the inclusion of bread used in a specific fashion, but hot dogs are defined by the meat substance. Replace a hot dog with a bratwurst, but leave it on the same bun, it is no longer a hot dog, it's a bratwurst. Same with any other type of sausage. Even if you find a place that sells turkey based hot dogs, they sell them as Turkey Dogs, not hot dogs. Hot dogs (and similarly shaped concoctions of phallic shaped meat between two buns [ ]) are defined by the meat substance, whereas sandwiches are defined by the inclusion of bread used in a specific fashion. Hot dogs are not sandwiches.

You're bad at sandwiches if bread is ever the main ingredient. seriously that made no sense at all. Huh? Sure it does. If you remove the bread from a traditional sandwich you're left with a pile of meat and toppings, not a breadless sandwich. And like he said, using some sort of replacement for the bread often leads to it being defined as something else like a wrap, pita, burrito etc. The bread defines the sandwich, therefore it is THE ingredient to making a sandwich. It's not the best ingredient, but it's essential. If you do some wackadoo [expletive] and slather mayo, mustard, butter, and marmalade between two pieces of bread, that will be considered as a mayo, mustard, butter, and marmalade sandwich, will it not? The bread is the defining ingredient
-
Similarly, I'd be happy with one of the A's or O's vs. Bucs or Nats, regardless of final matchup. But I'm pulling all the way for the A's.
-
wtf not even all tacos are hard shelled Yeah, but soft shell tacos can be rolled over and covered, thus negating its similarity to a hot dog in that you have the side barriers with meat and toppings in the middle and an open aired top, and therefore making hard shell tacos more like hot dogs.
-
Tacos are kind of like hard shelled hot dogs.

Jesus, Miller has 7K's in 3 innings? FFS. At least Hendricks is doing what Hendricks does and that's super cool

He really can hit anything

Miami is the 8th largest metro area in the country. Population does not equal ticket sales. Large cities with crap attendance doesn't make it any more likely that there will be small cities with great attendance. I know, which is why using population as a reason for starting a franchise in a city is a foolish notion. Tampa is a Top 20 population region and they've been an excellent ball club for about half a decade now and still can't draw good attendance figures. So if population doesn't matter, and a good team doesn't matter, what does to that god forsaken state? Is putting yet another team in Florida where people obviously don't care about baseball a wise move? It's hard enough enticing new fans to a team in your area when you've spent your whole life rooting for another club, and most of the people in Florida either grew up caring about the Braves or transplanted from the north and are Yankee and Red Sox fans. A place like Portland is perfect cause it's smack dab between the bay area and Seattle so it's kind of a neutral zone where if they got a baseball team they'd likely support the hell out of it because they finally have something to call their own. I just happen to think New Orleans could be the same way is all.
