Pretty stupid letter since its not Minnesota is winning because they are a small market or have a low payroll, instead they studied and did Moneyball much better than the White Sox except for the year the White Sox won the title.

K-Rod back in court today after being a dumbass with previous court orders to stop texting his girlfriend.
Originally the judge told him to stop texting even though she had a restraining order against him and he was texting as recent as the day of the 1st court apperance. The judge at the time gave him a break by saying no more texts or contacts starting once he left the courtroom. Now he gets charged with criminal contempt for violating the court's order on top of the previous charges he was facing. Also had to pay $7500 for bail and could face up to a year in jail just for this new charge. http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/m...ory?id=5603551 |

I like how he says he wants no part in the yearly competitive product that the Twins put out each year.
How could you not want to be a team that has a legit chance to make the playoffs each year? Idiot. And he wouldn't trade for Joe Mauer? Really? That guy is likely going to better in the long term than anyone in the ChiSox organization. Who wrote this letter? Hawk Harrelson? Also, not hating on the ChiSox. Just this idiot fan. And...PADRES BACK IN FIRST! WHERE YOU AT SKIPPORD!? |

It's pretty unreal that he has a chance at 3,000 with how late he broke in. You have to wonder where his hit total would be if he started his MLB career earlier.
Hard to say, because you could also argue that his time in Japan prepared him for MLB, but I think he probably would have produced the same. If so, he'd be chasing Rose and not 3,000 |

if there was ever a year where you had a real argument against "WINS" for Cy Young, look at fucking Felix Hernandez. jesus. didn't realize the M's give him literally no run support.

Yeah, Felix should probably win the damn thing. Unfortunately, I'm almost willing to bet that he'll be third. Price and Sabathia will finish ahead of him due to wins. No way should Sabathia beat Price though. If that happens, wins are once again the only thing the voters care about.
Likewise, I was watching MLB Network last night and one of the commentators said Pujols can no longer be in consideration for the MVP award because his team fell apart. Really? Not saying he should or shouldn't win the MVP but this notion that the MVP HAS to be on a contending playoff team has always bugged me. They only seem to make an exception if there is no "clear-cut" winner from a playoff team. |

Last year's AL Cy Young award debate also focused too much on win totals since CC Sabathia was ahead of Grienke by a a couple of wins but Grienke led in almost all the other stats.
Wouldn't be right to ignore the similarities with Felix this year since he leads in most of the key stats except for wins. Same for the whole MVP debate ever since A-Rod managed to win the award even though Texas was horrible and most of A-Rods numbers became padded due most of it not being earned in critical or clutch situations. |

Cy Young goes to the best pitcher. Wins mean nothing.
MVP goes to the most valuable player. Wins are important. |

Best hitter should be determined by the Hank Aaron award, not the MVP.

So what does everyone think of the new push to expand the playoffs again?
Logistically I dont know how they can get 8 teams in each league in..maybe seeding like the NHL and NBA (Division winners 1-3, 4-8 based on records) |

Im hoping for an Epic Yankee collapse that knocks them out of the Wild Card. I think they're still up 5 1/2 on Boston so it would have to be EPIC FAIL COLLAPSE but anyway..

The mind of a Yankees fan is truly a disturbing place.
"This season is really making me sad," says one Yankees fan, noting how dismal his team's 92-63 record looks. Of course it's futile to remind Yankees fan that their team won the World Series last year, they have the best roster again this year, are almost guaranteed to go to the playoffs this season, and have the most stupidly spoiled fan base in American sports. |

Yeah it was good to see the World series title back home where it belonged.... Which is right next to the life size plaque of George Steinbrenner.
It's such a joy to see the Yankees trying to win one for George. It puts tears in my eyes. |

Yeah, Yankee fans are ridiculous. Completely over-priveleged. I know Mets fans have a reputation for being negative (myself included) but fuck, at least our team has horrendous management, makes constant mistakes, a GM who can't speak and blames reporters, no communication, no vision, a clueless medical staff, finally came within a game of the World Series only for the franchise to spiral out of control since, and will always be the #2 team in the market no matter what.
In 2008 the Yankees miss the playoffs for the first time in 13 years and their fanbase goes into mass hysteria. Nothing like panicking about a team that will probably always hold the record for the most World Series titles. |
