Hell, I would take Ozzie in LA for the Dodgers over Don"Quaalude" Mattingly. DM is a nice guy and was a great player, but he has a constant " just waiting for high tide look!" No fire, and energy. Sometimes you need to get in the grill of some of these players. I could be wrong. Dont want to get more hate messages…

I know that has been done in the NHL (Phoenix) but has it been done in MLB? I would be in favor of it, because it is THAT bad! You made a good point before, Florida is a VERY Weak market. If the stadium wasn't an issue, relocate for sure.

I agree that Luira, along with Dan Snyder, are detriments to their respect sports. They have an apparent compete disdain for their customer and employees. I agree with the relocation in theory, but can you imagine the backlash, after building what seems to be, a very nice stadium? I would love to someday see a team in…

Love the Teddy Ballgame reference! He was the Master. if you havent read it, I highly recommend "Ted Willams, The Biography of an American Hero", by Leigh Montville. One of the best biographies I have read.

I think you are right. How is it that guys that are usually the best hitting coaches, were never really good hitters? Martinez was actually pretty good. They sure picked the right photo for the article. It looks like he is going to rip someone's head off.

Thanks for pointing out you are an asshole, put that is pretty obvious from you childish post. Where did you get your degree in trolling?

Thanks for the update. Loria being a douche, of course. The team has some good young talent. The last line is interesting. Does it sound like they are tanking on purpose, or is it that they refuse to listen to him?

If these accounts are correct, it obviously is unacceptable. It makes you wonder about the leadership skills of the manager. If the manager is aware of this and has done nothing, he needs to go as well.

I encourage others to do the same, and check out other issues on the site. Also, do not feel compelled to sign every petition. I hope everyone has a nice day.

Thanks for the kind words. JMO, but people talk alot and don;t take any real action. I was signing petitions to repeal DOMA months back. I am just curious if some people that were offended by my poorly chosen words have done the same? You are a kind and thoughtful person.

Its no big deal. Actually, I am glad I took the time to go to change.org and sign the petitions. I was surprised how many they had. I usually get the petitions in my e mail to sing, but there were petitions I had not seen. I need to review my setting. Thanks for your nice comment and everyone have a nice day!

Does CNN, ESPN, or any other site show the full monty? So how is it obvious. I am only fairly new to this site. I don't have to defend myself. BTW, sign the petitions yet, between guffaws. No? Are you a homophobe (Just kidding)

This was MEANT as a joke. I want to make it CLEAR that I support Equality for Gays and Transgender individuals!!! If you feel strongly about this issue, rather then complain and attack or message boards go to Change.org . There are many petitions that you could put your support behind and sign. Thank You.

Well then I apologize for appearing to be homophobic. I agree that it was not clear it was a joke, and not really funny, but I had just got up. But lets be real. How many here have signed any pettions supporting Gay related issues? Please go to Change.org!

You are right. I am a homphobe. Congratualations, your idol Bill Simmons has trained you well. Your powers of deduction are uncanny. You know my intent, and my character, without even meeting me. Well done. A Bridge Too Far was the Cornelius Ryan book about operation Market Garden. You are a history buff as well? I DO…

You not one of those guilt ridden people that wear a "I am Trayvon" shirt are you? I have been in gay clubs. I have signed the pettion to legalize gay marriage. I have been hit on by gay guys. I have had lesbian friends. What more proof do you need. BTW, did I mention earlier, That I was joking!!! Lots of shit talkers…

Again, did you read the part where I said I was joking?? Lets do a scientific experiment. Print that Dick picture and go up to 3 Men who are strangers and show it to them. Tell me what their reaction is. BTW, isn't Brother From Another Mother one of Simmons taglines?

Weak arguement. If CNN or Fox or ESPN talked about dumbass Weiner exposing his dick, did they include pictures? Everyone seems defensive, including the writer. I guess I didn't realize you cant joke on these boards. Nice to know there are a lot of closet Psychologists to give free analysis!

Wow! Did anyone see the part where I wrote that I was joking? Three personal attacks by Bill Simmons types that are going shopping with their wives right now.

Try watching Goodfellas, or The Departed.
