Frayed Knot wrote: That 'Just let me win ONE' rant is a satire of an actual MadDog rant from back before his SF Giants won their first WS. I was ready for Francesa to tell Mussolini how they're on the same side on account of being paisans, but I guess we'll have to wait for the Benigno parody for that one. And the Captain America "true story?" thing comes from an actual Mad Dog question when Mike was talking about the movie Daredevil. I wish I was making that up.

If Ellsbury is worth 7/153, I don't see how they can possibly hold firm on 7/160 (reported) for Cano, who is way better and has way more value.

I will need to find a way to get an all caps "NO ONE PREFERS THIS" into my vernacular.

I'm trying, but I just can't muster up much outrage over what Matthews said about Benitez. On this ballot, he is a throwaway.

I really dislike the 15-year window. Make it 2 or 3 years and have no limit on how many guys you can vote on in a given year. Whether you advocate for guys like Rice, Morris, or Blyleven, I see no reason that these guys should twist in the wind forever because voters have the opportunity to "think about them next year."

Just a hunch, maybe I'm a cynic, but I don't think Maddux and Glavine both get in the first time around, since there are so many good candidates to take votes away. I think Maddux is in and Glavine waits. I think JCL is absolutely right about the glut of candidates, and I don't think the backIog is going to get much smaller this year. I'd love to be wrong. I could easily and happily vote for probably ten of these guys, but if I am guessing who will get in, not who I would vote to get in, I would say: IN Maddux Biggio Morris (though he'd be near the bottom of my ballot) Next top vote getters: Bagwell Piazza Thomas Glavine I expect that all four of those guys will be in the 60 percent voting range. I think Thomas will split votes with Bagwell; I think Bagwell and Piazza will gain votes but still fall under the suspicions of PEDs, no matter how fair or unfair. And Glavine will fall victim to the "too many guys on the ballot" and "is this guy really good enough to be voted in on the first ballot?" scenarios.

I saw this mini-doc on Grantland yesterday. Lasorda going apeshit on him was hysterical.

metsguyinmichigan wrote: Are the MFYs essentially bidding against themselves again? Which of the other huge spenders would be in on this? The Angels must be tapped out after the Pojols/Hamilton deals, the Dogers already took on all kinds of stupid salaries, the BoSox have Pedroia at second. The Marlins are back in cheapskate mode. Baltimore? Is there a chance that we could steal him in a shorter deal? Or will the MFYs, after hearing about "mystery teams" for most of the winter, give him what he wants? Despite a glut of infielders, I've always thought that Texas (with a new TV network on the horizon) would be a player on Cano. Maybe not a $300 million player, but a player.

Let's Examine the Merits & Disadvantages of ... Andre Ethier
HahnSolo replied to a topic in New York Mets Talk
I'm not so hot on Ethier. I'm sort of at the point of, "we just rid ourselves of a big contract burdens, now we are going to bail out another team from their crappy long-term deals?" -
Don't like em all that much. I suppose I wouldn't be bothered so much with a 1-time event, but five home games????

MFS62 wrote: I'm not sure. The Georgia Dome is also the home field for Georgia Tech. (It may also be school property). If they build a new stadium for the NFL team, the Dome could still remain. I don't think the NFL is too find of a college steam sharing their facilities on a regular basis. Later Not to veer off topic, but this is inaccurate. Georgia Tech's home games are at Bobby Dodd Stadium, a stone's throw from the aforementioned Varsity fries.
