Ok, can we crown a new evil empire now?

One of the HoF voters voted for Hideo Nomo, but not Maddux or Glavine. Wtf?

Re: Our National Pastime
I walked into the hospital today wearing my Dodgers shirt and an old man said, "Brooklyn Dodgers, not LA. God dammit." Then he ended up in the elevator accosting me while listing Dodger greats, "Koufax, Campanella, Jackie Robinson. LA is nothing." His parting shot was, "Sandy Koufax is my guy, I'm Jewish." I was left speechless.

Re: Our National Pastime
Is there a worse way to be denied a perfect game than an error? 0 BB and 0 H and a crappy throw by your SS is what prevents you from being perfect. Ugh.

Re: Our National Pastime
I thought it was odd that Jeter* had as many hits in the ASG as he usually gets in a week, it turns out Wainwright may have grooved a couple of pitches for the Cap.
Also, I'm not sure what's better here, the batter flipping his lid or Rodney's pose.

* Did you know he was retiring? I had no idea

Re: Our National Pastime
Holy moly. When I was a wee lad growing up in the Chicago suburbs, I attended the occasional Cubs game. Always sat in the cheap seats in left field. During the 7th inning stretch, me and my friend would gather up empty cups and wedge them into the chain link just like that.Hugh Akston wrote:Gotta find a way to keep busy in those extra innings.

The Dodgers traded for a guy originally signed by the Expos ... and he's only 27.

Re: Our National Pastime
The Expos moved to DC in aught-four. In a related note: an exhibition series in Montreal this season drew 40,000+ in both games.

Re: Our National Pastime
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/17/sport ... epage&_r=0The F.B.I. and Justice Department prosecutors are investigating front-office officials for the St. Louis Cardinals, one of the most successful teams in baseball over the past two decades, for hacking into the internal networks of a rival team to steal closely guarded information about player personnel.

The Cards show the right way to hack.

Re: Our National Pastime
Which is nice but does not a season, let alone season after season, of adequate attendance make. Arguably, if the Expos had been a better team they would have drawn a sufficient average attendance to make them more valuable in Montreal than in D.C., which had itself lost two teams over the years and, for all we know, could end up losing the Nats to a more profitable market someday, too.Hugh Akston wrote:The Expos moved to DC in aught-four.

Re: Our National Pastime
Is there any evidence yet that Pete Rose ever bet against himself or his team? If the answer is no, get over yourself, MLB.

Re: Our National Pastime
He'll never be reinstated, let alone inducted into the Hall of Fame while he's alive, regardless. Now that there's new evidence he lied about betting on games while playing? No way, though maybe more because he's lied all along.Andrew wrote:Is there any evidence yet that Pete Rose ever bet against himself or his team? If the answer is no, get over yourself, MLB.
Rose did this to himself, never mind the hardly unblemished reputation of MLB, but he'll be in the Hall of Fame someday and, regardless, he's already in all the stat books. In some ways his is a more lasting story than many Hall of Famers long forgotten.
Re: Our National Pastime
I disagree. Unless he bet on his team 162 games a season, betting on some games, but not others still taints it. He is more likely to go all in on games he has bet on at the expense of other games (e.g. burning through his bullpen or leaving his starters in longer to keep his bullpen fresh when he doesn't have money riding on the game). Not betting on his team in game 3 of a series after betting on games 1 and 2 of it is a signal to bookies and guys in the know.Andrew wrote:Is there any evidence yet that Pete Rose ever bet against himself or his team?

Re: Our National Pastime
On the one hand he's useful as a cautionary tale that being a superstar doesn't mean the league will look the other way when you break the rules. On the other hand the MLB does that all the time.
