LOL... i don't hate them for anything as reasonable as that... i just hate them... always have... I can't really fault them for using the system to the utmost.... they are a big market team, they make big money and they spend it for players... you can't really hate the Yanks and Steinbrenner for playing the system...the system stinks and needs to be changed... but they have the right to do it....I live in a big market area... our team (the Dodgers) suck... I blame that on the O'Malley family selling the franchise

Your right the system does stink....so lets not blame them..:)

Running through thread, wearing my METS jacket!!:D

The Toronto/Carolina game is pretty exciting; no score after two periods!

Glad to hear you had a happy and exciting weekend, Knight!:rose:

Well I am a Yankee Fan from way back but I do like the Mets too... I am a New York Fan...Yankees, Mets, Knicks, Giants, Rangers, but I do like the Devils...:rolleyes:
 
Yankees

Although Mickey Mantle is my favorite player of all-time (I also have his autograph) I really hate the Yankees, and I blame Bud Selig for all of the problems with baseball, he is not a comissioner, he's an owner.
 
Baseball...

I would probably come up with a proposal to get a salary cap instituted, and I would also try to get all teams a little closer in terms of revenue. Whether that be by revenue sharing or what, but it just is amazing the difference between the top teams and the bottom.

I agree... look at football... Green Bay is a very small market team.. yet they consistantly field a competive team... why? Revenue Sharing....
 
If I were baseball commissioner

I would make the "designated hitter" disappear!:D

Let the pitchers bat like the rest of the team!:p

I am not sure Roger Clemens would like that rule very much. I am hoping he has to play at Shea (against the Mets), and I really hope that someone beans him...not necessarilly in the head, that is pretty unsportsmanlike, but that he gets hit somewhere...
 
DH

I like the DH, pitchers pitch, and hitters hit. You don't see A-Rod pitching? In my mind, pitchers get paid to pitch. You can use pitchers for pinch running purposes, because there are some pitchers who are good athletes (Mike Hampton). I like how it is different in the two leagues, it makes it more of a challenge in the playoffs. I really wish that the All-Star game had importance, with the league that wins the All-Star game getting home-field for the World Series, or something that give them reason to play that game seriously.
 
Hello everyone. I like your idea about having the All-Star deciding who gets home field. It makes perfect sense so I guess that means it will never happen.
 
My opinion:

The DH suxs...it changes the game. Aside from the fact that pussies like Clemens don't have to hit, it affects the overall strategy of the game as well.

A tie game in the bottom of the 6th or 7th and your pitcher is up to bat...does the manager yank him and go with a pinch hitter, which would also mean going to the bullpen. The American League managers aren't faced with such a choice.

The DH allows the over the hill, injury prone guys that are one dimentional to continue playing. What other sport lets you substitute a guy in to do part of your job...? The DH suxs.

My very good friend and college roomate pitches for the Pittsburgh Pirates this year. He has also pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago WhiteSox, and he says the grand majority of the players think the DH suxs too.

Just an FYI...there will be a strike this year before post-season, count on it. This season is shaping up exactly like 1994, exactly. If I could recommend one very good book if you are interested in the financial, power and other aspects of baseball behind the scenes, it is:

Lords of the Realm, and I dont recall the author's name right off hand but he also co-wrote Barbarians at the Gate? This book is a scrutinizing look at the 100 year history of baseball and the finances that have run it. I will post more on this book when I can locate my copy around here.
 
Hiya guys..

Hows the testosterone level here? Need topping up at all?

You all got a beer and sports paper?

OK.. just checking...enjoy. Byeeeeeeee :D
 
Grabbing the nearest Lazyboy chair I plop down sitting in my underware grab a coffee to early for beer turn on sports center and scratch myself...L. B. how are you sweetie always nice to see you ..Sexy looking beautiful as always ..Ok now is there anyone out there that knows what the deal is with Cujo and the leafs I keep hearing this nasty rumur that he is going to be traded..I personally would hate to see him leave Toronto...:)
 
Ohhh yeah... this is nice. I love a hairy chest to snuggle into. Take my hand and put it on the itch.. I'll scratch it for you..

Hey you sexy lady you! :kiss: :kiss:

Takin L.B.'s hand I move it lower a little lower ahhhh thats the spot right there ...Who could watch T.v with a beautiful lady like you in there lap..You watch The T.V. I am going to just sit here and enjoy your body snuggled up next to mine:) ..You sure know how to make a guy rise and shine in the morning..
 
What, no Bruin Fans? They might not be in the running of late but they've been my team for (just you never mind) years, but then again there's a reason...
As far as Hockey goes my 2nd choice would be the Rangers
Football ....... Dallas, only because I won some bucks years ago
Baseball ...... The Reds if I had to make a choice
Basketball ...... Have them wear dresses and paint the ball pink
Golf ...... yea right
Tennis ...... see golf
Soccer ...... needs more blood and add some sticks
Rugby ...... do they use sticks?
Darts ...... shall we play 301, 501 or go straight to cricket ;)

Beer ...... Make it ice cold and a strohs
Whiskey ...... pour me a double if you will
Rum ...... might as well call the cops cause someone is going to get hurt

Women ...... Luv'em
Tits ...... see women
Pussy ...... see women and tits

Cars ...... yugos were cute, stupid but cute

Okay enough of that, what about hunting guys, do you enjoy it? Do you eat what is harvested or do you make sure it doesn't go to waste? What's your favorite weapon for it?
As for myself, I don't take down what I won't eat or know that someone will and in my state we're restricted to shotguns and my favorite one is the Remington 870

And if your anti hunting, think of this before bashing it, do you eat meat? A non-meat eater? Plants are living things too, so get over it :D
 
I do not hunt but thank all my friends who do because they keep me feed with some tasty meat ..I love deer and rabbit...The reason I do not hunt is the few times I went I sat in rainy weather all freaking day and didn't even get to shoot my rifle off so I think i will leave it to the hunters to hunt and I will enjoy what they hunt ...I won't say anything about your hockey team the bruins ecxept Detroit wants Lapoint back and the rangers are trying to buy the cup don't they know Detroit has already bought it this year:) ..Tonights game will rock and should make even a non hockey fan appreciate the game ...If the wings lose tonight they will have to come and take me away in a sttraight jacket I swear I am all nervous and jittery over this stupid game ..Oh well Go Wings
 
What a great night for sports!. Game 7 for the Wings and the Avs and two possible elimination games in the NBA. I was up in Toronto last week and I couldn't believe how hockey crazy everyone was. I agree with you KS - a Toronto-Detroit Cup would have been awesome! I lived in Colorado when the Avs won their first championship but I was a Wings fan growing up so GO WINGS!

I am a much bigger basketball fan now. The two series have both been great. Last year's NBA playoffs was easier on the heart but even I have to admit (as a big Lakers fan) that this year is more interesting. I really hope both series go to a game 7 and may the best team win!! I just hope the refs let them play. No team should have their best player sitting on the bench in a close game.

GO LAKERS!!!

Not a big basketball fan, but I'm happy and amazed at the Nets!:rose:

Game 7, hopefully, will produce the thrills expected. What a series! What a season!:rose:
