OT: MLB Thread

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Why was congress even involved other than pontificating. None of them cared.

I'll bet Senator Connie Mack III probably cared. He was the grandson of Connie Mack but was no friend of MLB. He wanted to end their anti-trust exemption.

What is amazing is that all the people saw Price snorting but noone took a video of it.

Everyone's cell phone was dead at the same time.

People who are in "the club scene" are, by definition, the complete opposite of reliable.

In Xpo's fantasy world, Price, Jagr and Kovalev spend Saturday nights in the VIP lounge at Chez Paree snorting coke off of a stripper's ass.

Just livin the dream.

I am sure the majority of NHLers have used cocaine.

Looks like AA is joining the Dodgers' front office.

For sure. You need party favors. Coke and prostis, Charlie Sheen knows how to party. I don't really care either way, there are no real performance enhancements in sports attributed to cocaine, are there? lol

Based on what I am seeing and hearing, I'd peg @TimRaines30 as falling about 6-9% short of the 75% @BaseballHall threshhold.

As?

No idea.

They prob saw an overly animated Price go to the bathroom every 10 minutes and inferred the rest.

The few studies that exist suggest that little to no performance gains are incurred from cocaine and its amphetamine-like properties. Cocaine is notable for distorting the user's perception of reality; for example, an athlete may perceive increased performance and decreased fatigue in the face of actual decreased performance in both strength and endurance activities. An increase in heat production combined with a decrease in heat loss associated with cocaine abuse impairs the body's ability to regulate its temperature during physical activity.

Aren't we supposed to find out today about who was voted in?

 

[XPOFAN]

At 6:00 Eastern

I'm hearing from Jonah Keri that Raines will fall just short. Next year is his last kick at the can.

Best leadoff man in NL history, but @TimRaines30 misses #HOF2016 induction. Your day is coming, Rock!

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

They'd better not bungle this next year. Raines belongs in the Hall. It shouldn't even be an issue.

It's nice when you make sense

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

What makes no sense is how Gwynn is a first ballot selection but Raines isn't even though their numbers are comparable.
