Farewell Lidgey-Boy. Lest we forget he was like 48 outta 48 on save opportunities in the World Series year.

Hopefully people dont bail because of the weather :roll:

Did anyone see about the Springsteen exhibit at the Constitution Center? Only showing outside of R&R HoF.

I posted it in the springsteen thread.

I went to the PJ show in cleveland a couple years ago. Me and my buddy were going to hit the rock and roll HOF, but decided to smoke and hit the bar to watch cavs/celts ecf instead.

it was a win/win. wash opening that show made my night. setlist that night was incredible.

also, other than the Q Arena, which is pretty sweet, cleveland sucks. I am coming to the conclusion that there is nothing to see between king of prussia and denver. every city I have been to in between those areas has been pretty awful (north of kansas city anyway...new orleans is pretty awesome, if you're going to get plastered). go west past KOP and you go back in time. I swear there are more cows than people in PA

the graph in this article made me puke on my keyboard. I didn't know about the $10 million buyout. jesus christ, somehow that contract just got even worse.

Chicago & New Orleans are awesome. Pittsburgh is awful - don't know why it gets such positive press. Some decent pubs, but that is it. Kansas City isn't too bad. Milwaukee is a lot of fun.

I've only spent a few hours in Cleveland but it seemed pretty desolate. Detroit is, well, yeah.

christ, how could I forget chicago? that is my favorite US city to visit other than NYC. I was hammered when I posted that...but I do agree with everything I said. Just forgot chicago.

I don't see what's good about milwaukee. Been there a few times...not impressed.

I definitely agree that pittsburgh is the worst. There is nothing to like about that city other than PNC Park

I put this in the Yankees thread. Gotta have a sense of humor in this city.

Sabathia's contract extension done deal- 1-year, $25 m. for 2016, and a $5 million buyout in 2017. Total guaranteed, five years, $122 m with $25m option for '17

CC via Twitter

"Yankee fans, I'll be here fighting for number 28 next year,"

Good deal for the Yanks

Maybe Jimmy Rollins will tweet: "I'm coming back for #3 Phillies fans!"

I have come to the conclusion that I'd rather overpay for reyes than rollins

Also, there are wright for brown rumors floating around. Doubt those teams would ever pull off a trade of that magnitude, but I would LOVE to see that happen.

My dream scenario would be phils trading brown for wright, signing reyes, then winning it all. there would be no mets fans left because they would all kill themselves.

My buddy keeps trying to convince me they should sign Reyes I can't wrap my Phillies fan head around that

I'm still so pissed off/disappointed I can't even think about this team right now

Full on boycott mode right now
