As an A’s fan, this is not a sign of rebuild mode. When Cespedes and Donaldson left, it was crushing. Then Reddick left, and we’re still searching for what angle is being played. Losing Vogt, as cool as a guy as he is, cannot be seen as a genesis of a rebuild. He wouldn’t start any where else in the league, and as we…

Fuck the Jays. Especially Bautista. Is it wrong that I wish Odor would have given him permanent brain damage with that punch?

The A’s are recovering from the ownership by Lew Wolff who thought the best thing about the A’s was that MLB would fund his real estate empire building. If Fisher can get a 40,000 seat downtown stadium built, one near public transportation where people work, they could get consistent crowds.

Dave Dombrowski does not get NEARLY enough credit across the country...that man is the only reason the Tigers were anything

The Boston press is a pain in the ass and utterly unrealistic.

No idea, why Price is so pissed off, but anyone who tells the Boston sports media to go shit in their collective hats is alright in my book.

I was in the same graduating class as Max. In middle school we were actually pretty close. As we entered high school, I slowly began to quit sports, experiment with drugs & booze, and chase tail. He kept to himself, stammered when he spoke, and always seemed embarrassed of his two different colored eyes. Without too…

I have a fun but less intense Max Scherzer story: In 2013 I interned for the Tampa Bay Rays. Interns (especially my department) had crazy hours since this was the year before the team started paying them hourly. So one Saturday I’m at the ballpark even earlier than I needed to be for some reason and had all my…

Actually, one of the nicest athletes i have met. I ran into him and his wife a few times around town at a grocery store when he played for the Tigers. He would take time to say and go out of his way for little kids.

As a forlorn Tigers fan, let me just say that I miss the fuck out of this guy.

Cub fan too. Let’s not forget that prior to game 6 and 7 (both of which the Cubs won), Madden won almost 200 games in two seasons with a team that was one of the two or three youngest in the major leagues. I don’t think you I can fairly attribute those wins all to luck.

Are you suggesting that a championship team might have a drop in production the following year? I’m sure that’s never happened. Teams repeat almost every year in baseball, right?

I’m a Cubs fan and I’m not worried. Yeah, there are holes to fix, but they won the WS. I can take a small bump in their progression as a young team.

What I’ve ALWAYS wanted to see: when the batter charges the mound, the pitcher goes running into left field, screaming for help with his arms waving wildly.

Look, I haven’t the time now, but if you could put up two separate stories when each comes off the suspension I might be able to develop my position paper on the brawl by then. Thank you, THANK YOU guys for giving me the previous 11 opportunities to comment on it, and I promise to take advantage of the 12th or 13th.

Dayum, Jeff Smardzijaza (aw fuck it) like a flying whirling dervish. He slammed with Werth so hard I think they exchanged hair styles. course, no one noticed.  

Since there has been 1 death in the history of MLB from a pitched ball (back in the late 1910s or early 20s - Ray Chapman), that is unlikely but I am NOT justifying Strickland’s pitch - or any pitcher who throws at someone. Strickland is an idiot - I have written that many times now. But Harper is a super star and the…

Fuck the Giants. Biggest bunch of pussies. Throw at somebody because they hit two homeruns off you (3 years ago). All talk and then they back down. Bumgarner loves to run his mouth, as soon as somebody walks towards him he always walks away. Biggest bunch of fake tough guys.

Your Daly reminder of just how far Tiger has fallen.

Man, between this and crashing when his wife was chasing him who’d have thought that driving would be the part of his game that left him first.
