Miller was better defensively.

Just wanted to prime the pump on this topic, so JoltinJoe and 89 can pick it up and run with it.

Will do. Thanks!

Hey, 89, my star pitcher is more overpaid than yours!

For any of them, really. She's a work horse among show ponies And a real nasty bitch to work for. "To work for" is probably true but also superfluous. Plus, she calls the Knights of Columbus a bunch of misogynists and then says we're bigots for not supporting her. Oooo-kay. Her sense of s...

The Democrats should have a cake walk in 2020. They just never know when to leave good enough alone. They and their supporters exist in a never-ending circle jerk through which they convince themselves that they are a majority. I'm not sure if they think they're in the majority or if they're certai...

Use of technology to steal signs is illegal. Plenty to see here. This isn't about the runner on second trying to see what the catcher is putting down, like Cobb may have done. :nod: Pretty big deal. I also agree with Chizzy. Make it so painful other teams don't try this shit. This is a huge embarra...

This isn't a conspiracy theory. This happened. It's called cheating.

So I'm guessing Altuve knew Chapman was throwing the slider.

Yea, we got suckered on both of those deals. Thanks for bringing up how badly the Yankees were victimized by the steroid era.I almost forgot to mention that. But you're right. No team suffered more because of the steroid era. Clemens went to Toronto, started taking steroids, and won back-to-back Cy...

Harvard guys. You use to stand for something. Now it's all about winning. If you cheat to win, that's even better, right, Zuckertalk?. :ohno: I have two words for you: Alex Rodriguez. Two more: Roger Clemens. Do you pitch a fit like this when you lose a case? Yea, we got suckered on both of those d...

Yea, celebrate the steroid cheater who hit a bloop 100 feet. Without the fake muscles, that ball is a soft liner into the glove of the shortstop. The first steroid MLB championship! Uh, didn't the great Mariano Rivero technically blow the save in the bottom of the 9th in Game 7 when Tony Womack dou...

Luis Gonzalez, 1997

Yea, celebrate the steroid cheater who hit a bloop 100 feet. Without the fake muscles, that ball is a soft liner into the glove of the shortstop. The first steroid MLB championship! After 18 years, the butthurt is still great in you. I still see an analyst twice a week about the collapse of the ‘64...

I rest my case.

It was all about Curt Schilling. Without him, the DBacks were lost.

Joe, what is your take on Wills? Also, now that Lemahieu has thrived outside of Denver, does this help Larry Walker in his last year? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Wills is interesting, because he changed the way the game was played for a significant time. In the 1950s through 1970s, an era of p...

Joe is still a sore loser over the 2001 World Series. But he can't help it, he's a Yankee fan. If the Yankees don't win the World Series, other teams cheated. And EVERY Yankee player ever should be in the Hall of Fame. Too many Yank fans like that, we need a return to the Horace Clark, Roy White er...

A week later Joe? I think that's past that statute of limitations on being a sore loser. Sorry your team can't get past the Astros. Joe is still a sore loser over the 2001 World Series.

We've won 27 times and not once has any Yankee undressed in public like a Chippendale's dancer.

This isn't what you are thinking. This is the revised "Veterans Committee" vote. This isn't the most recent eligible players. https://sports.yahoo.com/lou-whitaker-leads-strong-modern-193054220.html So this is the second chance list for guys who weren't super. I nominate John Kruk. It's r...

It's just amazing how new metrics have influenced the perceptions of Munson's career. Articles like this one are all over the place all of a sudden.
