anybody got a stale username?
It does serve to point out that the decision not to re-sign him didn't hurt the Cardinals, though I would be stupid to think that was the intended purpose of most of the people who have posted it.
I see runners violating that rule all the time on a nubber in front of the plate. I think they figure the fielder is more likely to avoid hitting him with the throw than to hit hit and hope for the call.

When my team loses, I rage against my team with the best of them, but I know how lucky I am compared to, say, Padre fans, and I'd much rather be upset about just falling short than be rooting for some perennial 90-game loser. That's why I don't understand the hate Yankee fans have for a team that always, always gives them an October to root for. It's the most unseemly of whines. The baseball gods have given them everything, and they don't seem appreciate any of it.
I'll drop it now.
I want to dislike your team because of their owners decision to add the name Los Angeles to them(I understand why, but it's a pure move based upon economics and that somewhat bothers me) but the owner clearly wants to win and tries to do it within the framework he has set, that I find it hard to root against them. Ultimately I find I can't dislike them.
"Delmon Young is different."
"Ahh, but why, Grover?"
"Because he is a baseball player."
"Well, Grover, they are all baseball players."
"But Young is a terrible baseball player."
I thought he had a bad route on it, but I would need to see a replay to be sure, from memory he started running to his left before he started heading back.
Please sir can I have a replay of Swisher's throw that barely reached the infield dirt... thank you.
FWIW, I'm with you.
Miggie!
I don't think he was bad at getting it, I just thought he had more speed or something, that is a ball that usually seems to be caught by the good outfielders(note even though John Jay's number show he isn't bad, the truth is he isn't good, so I know the Cardinal centerfielder wouldn't have gotten it, but to my eye a centerfielder who is legitimately above average, could have had it)
And that is what I ultimately meant, I thought he was fast enough to make that play.
I called it. but ugh.
If they had hit worth a damn since the last game of the season, I might have some hope here.
Just typical high-drama BBTF posters. There are plenty of reasons to have less confidence in this year's team than say the 1998 Yankees, but that's baseball. It's all supposed to be fun, but folks seem to lose track of that fairly regularly. Not just Yankee fans, either. Such is fandom.
It puts the lotion on the pinstripes.
I haven't paid much attention to the individual games outside of the first one, but in that first game everything Arod hit was a shot and was snagged, what about the rest of the series?
Don't bring facts into a Jeter discussion.
but yes.
2014 option may increase to $17M based on awards earned in 2011-13: $4M for AL MVP; $2M for 2nd-6th in MVP vote; $1.5M for Silver Slugger; $0.5M each for Gold Glove, ALCS MVP, WS MVP

The manager must have lost his head.
The option year for his contract includes various salary increases if he is MVP, top 6 in MVP, Silver Slugger (which he has probably achieved this year), Gold Glove, or ALCS or WS MVP.

Awesome quote.
Ozzie Smith? Ozzie Guillen? Ozzie and Harriet?
Baserunning Blunder [X]
Just yesterday the ump ###### them out of a run by calling Cano out at 1B.
I've been on this boat for years. And contrary to what the naysayers claim, this is something that could have been overturned with replay in a few seconds.
The game was also one of Schilling's first starts back after being the Boston closer for a while, and every time he would get a guy out, Sutcliffe would start talking about how Schilling was on his way back, looking good, etc. etc. and then every time he gave up a hit or walked a guy, he would saying Schilling wasn't ready, stuff didn't look good and so on. It was just insane.
