heard that Fire Emblem was coming out today and bought my 3DS XL (got the MK7 bundle) 3 weeks ago in anticipation and preordered the game the same day. also bought Tales of the Abyss over that weekend to get through the wait (and because it is an awesome game). after hearing about all the...

just remember, you guys get Mike Nickeas too.

tbqh, RA Dickey deserved the NL MVP. and the AL one too.

i think GGs are voted on by managers and coaches, no? that might explain the Trout snub...old school guys are loathe to give rookies any credit whatsoever. rookies have to "earn" it through years of service (especially ones who are featured everywhere, like Trout). although based solely on...

i don't know what's funnier: the Tigers choking in the WS again...or Brian Sabean winning 2 WS in 3 years. i've hated on that guy a lot with my brother but he must do something right (just not contracts to older veterans). the Giants are a curious case study for building a team. they lack star...

how nice and idealistic. i'm sure the owners would definitely agree to this. especially the ones in NY, Boston, et al who already pay into revenue sharing and watch the "poor" teams pocket that money. until you actually post a detailed, realistic, thought out way that you think can address the...

not exactly. NFL and MLB are fundamentally different because all NFL games are nationally broadcast -- hence the shared TV revenue. not so much for baseball, which is why you have regional sports networks (YES, SNY, NESN, et cetera). there are typically only 4 nationally broadcast games a week...

i can't hear your argument over NFL =/= MLB. the TV rights for the teams are collective, i believe. which means that giant pot of gold is shared between everyone. not so much in MLB. also check out the Angels in 2002 (ranked from top: 14/30), the Marlins in 2003 (24/30), and the White Sox in...

baseball has parity. 9 different WS winners going back to 2001. 26/30 teams have made the playoffs in that time span (Seattle, Toronto, Pittsburgh and Kansas City did not) as well. you also have to remember, baseball's playoff system isn't like the NBA or NHL, where half the league gets in. it's...

lockouts/strikes are kind of a big deal. also explain yourself.

and then you wonder why everyone of those sports has been locked out in the past 2 years...because of disputes over money, which leads us back to the point that salary caps primarily benefit owners.

then you have teams grossly overpaying for talent at the low end of the spectrum to satisfy some arbitrary number and underpaying at the top end. once again, to use the As as the example. they have a payroll of $49M. if the salary floor was $60M, how do you think they would feel about having to...

lol, this post again. payroll disparities are what made the Reds cough up a 2-0 series lead? payroll disparities are what made Justin Verlander 4 hit the As? payroll disparities made the Nationals give back a 6 run lead? yup, just institute a salary cap. all of that inequality, magically wiped...

you're essentially arguing, they've been wrong in the past. let them continue to be wrong.

love the trade for Boston. dumping $300M in future commitments AND getting value back as well? debatable whether or not they needed to do it but as a baseball trade, it's hard to be the losing party when you freed this much money and got good prospects back. LA, though, is acting like they have...

Weaver is a guy who benefits tremendously from his home ballpark and defense. his fastball is sub 90mph and he pitches up in the zone (this is where his home ballpark and defense come into play). of course, he has incredibly good offspeed stuff to compensate and his fastball does move quite a...

to me: Sabathia, Price, Verlander, Felix, Grienke, Haren (healthy), Strasburg, Halladay (healthy), Lee, Hamels, and Kershaw. this is very contingent on the league and overall quality of pitching but it is probably the closest way i'd describe an ace, too. generally, look for durable pitchers...
