It doesn't seem fair

That the radio broadcast has Bobby V and Orel Hershiser, but they’re not synced up so you can’t just mute these buffoons and listen to the radio.

They oughta pass some legislation about this. The broadcasters should support it because you get 2x as many ads.

I guess there is no way to measure that

People tune in for the match up. Announcers have little effect on that.

i don't know

if i hear gus johnson announcing a game. i don’t care if it’s vanderbilt vs rice, i’m watching the game. that was my thinking during one game between the bengals and broncoes were the bengals were winning by 1 with 30 seconds left in a game played by 2 mediocre teams. i kept on watching. i was able to witness this. i will never froget it

Pujols won't just talk to the media tonight

he might mambo dance with one or two of them. Not that I give a shit about him not talking to those douche nozzles yesterday.

I think throwing stuff like that on the field

is an automatic ban for life from that particular stadium.

Unless of course, you’re at Wrigly Field where it’s tradition to throw back the opposition’s HR ball.

The thing is

Pete Rose didnt cheat, he gambled. His banning is retarded, and if Bonds, Sosa, McGuire and the rest of the juicing douchers get in before Pete it will be a black mark on the Hall.

Disagree

The view I’ve always subscribed to is that gambling is just as bad if not worse since it may well have changed the way he managed. I mean, take your pick as to whether it’s worse than steroids, but betting on games in which you’re in control of making decisions (especially if, as the investigator thinks, Rose made bets against the Reds) is pretty damaging to the integrity of the competition.

by Joamiq on Oct 23, 2011 12:08 AM EDT up reply actions  

True

Then dont put him in the Hall as a manager, make his plaque exclusively for his stats as a player and dont mention his manager career at all.

Pujols's agent

must’ve died & gone to heaven with the way Pujols has bounced back this playoff from a subpar(by his amazing standards) season & LOLworthy contracts given to Howard & the Horse in the Bronx.

Well he'll be 32 next year

So I would think the max legnth of contract could be 8 years. The max per year could be $30. So I would think the max deal would be $240mill. I don’t see that happening so I guesses 7 yr, $200.

its probably a reasonable estimate

just seems wrong someone is getting more money than him

Oh look,

Or course.

Ken Davidoff:

’When you play such a critical role, particularly in a loss, you face the heat and explain what happened. This is standard operating procedure in media relations and, more importantly, being a good teammate. Had Alex Rodriguez , Derek Jeter , David Wright or Jose Reyes goofed, they absolutely would have stood by their locker and not only cooperated with the media but taken heat off their teammates.

Instead, Pujols never appeared for questioning. Neither, reportedly, did Lance Berkman , Matt Holliday nor Yadier Molina .’

Can't say enough about Kyle Lohse's performance

He really showed grit and grinded it out and led the Cards to victory by keeping them in the game. This was a legendary start tonight.
