OT: MLB Thread

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

I was in Pittsburgh twice in the past week (don't ask), and I was pleasantly surprised by the excitement for the Pirates. I surely didn't get that feel in previous visits. Winning does definitely help.

He won't play every single day but he will be the new left fielder.

Ibanez and Jones will go back to their DH platoon.

Ibanez will get the occasional start in left and Jones will likely play out there against tough lefties.

Jones and Ibanez are both more productive than Ichiro at this point. Ichiro should be the main 4th outfielder, while Jones and Ibanez should share the main DH/OF duties.

Always like to read about someone calling out Loria for what he is; a carpetbagger. Not sure the second article is a counter-argument. While it somewhat defends the trade of Ramirez, it also puts Loria on notice about slashing payroll.

Can anyone really be surprised. While I don't blame Darth and Skippy solely for the demise of the Expos, they definitely played a role. The surprising thing is that US cities and states keep offering up all this money to people like the two charlatans. I guess sports is just more of a cause down there than it is here.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

They didn't kill the Expos, the fans, the media, the lack of a stadium all contributed. They just fired the last bullet.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

One could easily argue the team was dead long before they arrived. I hate them but they didn't kill the team.
