It can't get here soon enough. It's 10 degrees out around here. Thoughts of Spring Training help you get through.
Some degree of a controversy regarding Jack Morris and some of the other 1984 World Series Detroit Tigers not getting in.
Personally, I don't know enough about any of those player's stat to make a discussion about it, but I know at the time Trammel and Whitaker were VERY well respected by Tigers fans, and Morris was instrumental in claiming the series. I think I read the Morris also earned Championship rings with 2 other teams, so 3 World Series Rings has to count for something.
I respectfully disagree about Morris. I remember him as a solid workhorse, a professional pitcher. You knew he was going to be a worthy opponent. But nobody feared Jack Morris. Would I want him in my team? Sure. He was a solid horse. But HOF? Nah. We wouldn't be having this discussion of not for his incredible Game 7. But one incredible game in a career of better than average shouldn't get you into Cooperstown.
Happy New Year to all. Pitchers and catchers report in 44 days!!!! Im feeling pretty good about my Rangers, with all they have done. I would still to see them acquire David Price though!
Price plays for TB THIS year.
Price plays for TB next year. For you: priceless!
Hahaha ass. Oh wait. Sorry. You're a mod. I take it back.
I'm a Red Sox fan, and I think we made a stellar deal today for Grady Sizemore. Thoughts?
No one on the East Coast wants to watch a game that starts at 10:00 at night.
You have to play each team in the division 19 games so almost 1/2 (46.9%)the games are division. Last year I thought the schedule sucked, it seemed like Detroit played Chicago for a month straight. (Actually 13 of 31 games.) I like to see the different teams, if they have to play 19 then play the division foes 7 games early, 5 games mid season , 7 games each at the end. I'd like to cut it to 14 games, 4 games at the beginning, 4 games in the middle and 6 games at the end With the extra 20 games available Play the other (same) league divisions more. I'd like to see RedSox, Yankees, Tampa, more often. Screw the games on the West Coast unless they are day games. No one on the East Coast wants to watch a game that starts at 10:00 at night.
I know you're not supposed to get to worked up over Spring games, but holy hell, I am really starting to worry about the Rangers! WTF???
That's not a problem if he just hits a HR everytime! haWait till you see Prince run the bases and try to slide... LOL

Can't be any worse than watching Kinsler get picked off for not paying attention 10-12 times a year. Plus getting caught stealing at second due to a late start AND batting a .273 with 13 HR. I loved Kinsler, but I think this trade was great.
I realize that Miggy may well be the best player in baseball, but he's 31 years old! Why in the world would Detroit give him a 10 year deal? On the bright side, I have him on my fantasy team. Maybe he play even better this year.
I agree, I think that is far to much for a player of his age. He is in his prime, but by 37, things shuld level off. Of course, that is what they said about Big Papi.
