Good call on the HOF stuff Vette. Really has had an incredible impact on the game-other sports too. RIP

I always liked the Ruben Sierra story--how he was a "me" kind of guy the first time he was there, prompting Torre to push for getting rid of him. Uttered the now infamous "all they care about over there is winning" line on his exit. Called Torre a liar and all that stuff. Torre said in one of...

Well said Totus.

Indeed. Messageboard admins generally all seem to suffer from the same self-important mindset like they have built freaking Microsoft instead of starting up a free internet posting site...Basically a middle management mentality that makes working most places for the masses unbearable and leads...

So where are folk going now? Too many idiots on reddit for me to stomach posting or even reading there (Disclaimer--there are also some really solid posters at that site).

Weak and poorly handled.

It's interesting to me that the only entity (aside from the Yankees) that he hasn't sued is Tony Bosch. You would think he'd been the first law suit filed. That one would at least likely go to trial, which may be the reason he hasn't done it because he wants to avoid the witness stand. These...

Nothing new really other that Bosch laid out ARod's regime in detail. Pretty crazy these players have been doing all that crap and still passing the tests. He did talk about beating the tests and all they did to make sure his blood was testing clean. Said ARod orignally came to him asking...

Doesn't it save them a couple million on the salary cap? Was thinking I read before though his salary paid would of been $8 mil or whatever it was, the way the contract worked it would count as $14mil. Weird world where you pay someone $4 million more to count $2 million less against your...

I watched pretty much the entire playoffs this year. Really enjoyed them, outside of the outcome and the Yankees not being there. Was some good baseball, some bad baseball and of course the poor hygiene of the Red Sox... Pretty much knew as soon as Boston got around Detroit that they were...

I hope you guys are right and he gets hammered but I'm not optimistic he gets the whole season. I see something more in the 100 games range coming out of this. Particularily if MLB did cross any lines in the investigation, I see them thinking settlement. If they are confident they are clear...

Best wishes Rick with your health. Hope your stint on the DL isn't too long or too difficult for you and your family. You'll be missed around here. On Jeter, I don't see him announcing his retirement before any given season because I think he will be one of those players that won't accept...

I would too but it doesn't sound like he is going to claim innocence, just that MLB tried too hard to catch him. Laughable that he is talking about MLB paying Bosch when we was paying his lawyer including trying to slide an extra payment in there.

I hope ARod talks and sues his way into prison...At the very least, into that lifetime ban.

Brutal. What was Hurdle waiting around for?
