    Big comeback for the Mets just now over the Phils. Love seeing Philly in the basement of the division :D.

    Just posted this in the Yankees thread but worth a read for everyone

    http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/06/sport ... ref=sports

    On Kuroda and what he went through in youth baseball in Japan. Pretty sickening.

    This isn't enough to get Showtime, but this show sounds friggin sweet.

    I agree with both of you. It just blows my mind how much professional athletes are paid (and I'm not going to say they aren't worth it becasue they are entertainers and whatever the market bears I believe they should be paid) but to say stuff like this publicly is such a no no. Is he really looking for sympathy from the genral public or something?

    $800 million for the Padres and TV. Good god. Every one of these sales makes me nervous about the Yankees.

    My wife recently called to cancel HBO and we ended up with showtime/HBO for free. I don't watch many shows, but I have checked out a few shows and I am impressed (dexter and homeland). Their docs I have seen are solid too. I'm looking forward to the series on the marlins. I'm a showtime fan. When this deal we got runs out I will most likely be converting from HBO (which pretty much sucks outside of Hard Knocks, the 4 episode NHL show, and Curb) to Showtime.

    Just kind of clicked with me. If MLB really wants to sell the All Star game as being important by letting it determine home field advantage for the World Series, why are they letting a retired manager manage in the game? Just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. :?

    Thought about this right when it was announced. There are many problems with the ASG.

    Showtime is definitely moving up there with HBO. This Marlins show should be great. I watched the one on Showtime last year w/ the SF Giants. It didn't get much publicity, but it was very good.

    Just kidding. He sucks so much. Cue the freak out video.

    It's mind-boggling. Twitter pretty much explodes every time he is announcing a major event.

    my first reaction was that's retarded, my second reaction is, might be fun for the home fans, my third reaction was it's a move to intergrate both leagues under one set of rules (all DH, or zero DH)
    81 is now off the air

    I think there's something up with that. I believe it will be the next thing given into the players union. 15 more high paid DH positions (Houston already switching).
