Let the guys handle their business on the field. I like the hockey model.
It's essentially nudging him on the shoulder and saying, "Comon, we know you did it. Just fess up."
Stop assuming every player involved in scandals is subsequently guilty by association. If there...
Mike are you kidding me? Offer to lesser a suspension by forcing Braun to admit something he didn't do? He won't give them the satisfaction.
"He got off an a technicality"
Gee, I've never heard that one before. Tell me sir, what technicality are you speaking of?
I don't understand why none of you will even acknowledge a...
How can you support Bud Selig condemning players in the same fashion that the judges of the Salem witch trails did - based on baseless 'evidence'. If Major League Baseball suspends Braun, I kid you...
I've been really busy lately preparing for a number of trips coming up during the summer months. I apologize for my recent absence.
I've never been a fan of hypothesizing situations that will never happen.
Carlos Gomez -- The Real Deal?
I've honestly always considered Carlos Gomez very valuable for his glove, moderate power, and blinding fast speed...but this season he seems to be possessed by the ghost of Ted Williams. Obviously, I...
“People are speaking for Native Americans that aren’t Native American. Being a full-blooded Indian with my whole family behind me, we had a big problem with all the things that were coming out [of...
How about the Washington Thickskins? That'd be ironic!
People are way too easily offended...
Eliminating the playoffs all together would not be nearly as interesting in my opinion. The World Series has existed for well over 100 years, and has become a huge part of our culture. Developing a...
I'm just sick and tired of the whole off-field circus getting in the way of sports. The fans lately seem more interested in who Tim Tebow is going to date next, why Lolo Jones is a virgin, and what...
Terry,
I know this is not a religous debate. I always make it clear to the administration here that it's best these topics aren't discussed -- because I have a difficult time stopping myself from...
It shouldn't be an issue in sports -- agreed. But given that the United States is predominantly a christian state, you cannot expect that the nation will ever accept their lifestyle (particularly in...
YBF, I don't force my religious beliefs on anybody. In the same manner, I expect that those who believe there is nothing wrong with being gay should not force their beliefs on me. America is a very...
The media wants us to be accepting of everyone's lifestyle choices, unless it includes Christianity. Just look at Broussard. Broussard is getting ridiculed for having conviction and a strong...
Just going to point this out, I'm very rarely offended...it's just my personality. However, when Major League Baseball's official Twitter Page posted a pro-gay message, I took that as a slap in the...
HEY GUYS! Big news...I'd like to publicly announce to Baseball Nation, that I, am a heterosexual male. Expecting a call from Barack Obama in a few hours along with numerous interviews with news...
Who is Barry Bonds and why do we care?
LOL get this...the Brewers finally get a mention on ESPN now that we lost. None during the streak.
If the Yankees win four in a row, it's plastered all over the website like it's the World Series.
Anyone else ever notice how ESPN covers strictly the big market teams, and if the smaller ones are even mentioned on the website, it's in the context of a tabloid or fantasy baseball? Obviously I'm...
I was following the game online, though missed it on T.V so I wasn't sure exactly what happened.
That looks freaky though! Good thing it's the opposite hand.
Absolutely no reason to kill him...stories like these tick me off.
The man was clearly fine, otherwise his condition would've been mentioned. People can beat a man to the point of hospitalization,...
Rick decided to start talkin' smack on the boards, and has since gradually lost his lead.
Newbies...no respect for the veterans anymore, right!? :nono:
Determined now to give The Immigrants a...
