ixcuincle Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Playoff expansion almost certain Commissioner Bud Selig’s plan to expand baseball’s playoffs to 10 teams seemed inevitable after little to no opposition emerged during meetings this week with owners and general managers.Because baseball’s labor contract runs to December 2011, the extra round of playoffs is not likely to start until 2012. Selig said his special 14-man committee will discuss adding two wild-card teams when it meets Dec. 7 during the winter meetings in nearby Lake Buena Vista. The regular-season schedule will almost certainly not be reduced from 162 games.“There’s not much interest in that,” he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Let me know when the Nats finish higher than 5th place. Let me know when the Braves don't choke in the playoffs 12 times in 13 years Two games away from being a more pathetic version of the Buffalo Bills. That's a shame.

That's a shame. Dude, the Nats don't even MAKE the playoffs. So how can you even go there? Ridiculous. And the comparison to the Bills is also ridiculous. The Bills never won a title. We have (3 actually). Nice try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubble Screen Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 He deserved it, and the Padres are going to be a force for years to come. I doubt it. Several of their pitchers pitched over their heads this year. Their starting pitching will probably come back down to earth next year. And they already aren't that great of an offensive club.

ixcuincle Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=Agh3QtO8LnXD4uNKeGoPcX85nYcB?slug=jp-gonzalezredsox120410 It’s been almost a decade since Boston Red Sox CEO Larry Lucchino called the New York Yankees “the evil empire,” a sobriquet that becomes more laughable by the day. The Yankees are no more evil, nor any more of an empire, than the one over which Lucchino presides. They are together baseball’s big, bad bullies, and to regard them as anything less than equals is to deny the truth.In acquiring Adrian Gonzalez(notes) from the San Diego Padres for three minor leaguers Saturday, the Red Sox pillaged another city unequipped to deal with the might of their checkbook. The Padres had a hometown kid, an impeccable citizen, a first-rate leader and an excellent ballplayer in Gonzalez. And because he is all of those things, he is likewise an expense a revenue-starved franchise such as the Padres simply cannot afford, and so they have agreed to deal him to Boston for starting pitcher Casey Kelly, first baseman Anthony Rizzo, center fielder Reymond Fuentes and another player to be named. But don't you know only the Yankees buy championships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Weirdo Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Jayson Werth got 7 years/126 million from the Nats. Which rounds out to about 18m a year. The Phils offered him 3 years/51 million which rounds out to 17m a year. Don't understand the logic here but good for Werth I guess. I hope he's content not contending for the rest of his career.

BTW...who's the big market team snaring all the talent this year WHY IT COULDN'T BE THE YANKEES I WONDER WHO IT COULD BE Don't blame the Yankees for exploiting the loophole in baseball, it's not a Yankee issue, it's a baseball-big-market dominance issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why all the Yankee hate. I dislike both the Yankees and Red Sox but it doesn't bother me that they spend cash. I wish the O's would spend a little more. ---------- Post added December-9th-2010 at 02:20 PM ---------- http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/baseball/mlb/12/09/winter.meetings.thursday/ 8:14 a.m.The Yankees have increased their offer to superstar free-agent pitcher Cliff Lee, to seven years. It isn't known yet if the dollar amount is changing. It makes sense for the Yankees to offer seven years, given that the other top two players on the market, Jayson Werth and Carl Crawford, both got seven-year contracts.
