Can ya blame people? I mean nearly 20 years of losing is a lot of misery to want to show up. If we become good again someday we'll definitely be selling out most games or coming really close.

It automatically quotes the post and puts it in an extra window at the bottom of the page. It's a Grease monkey script, NeoGAF:Quick Quote, Reply & Edit. Comes in hand in Sports-age. Also has extra options for automatically adding spoiler, strikethrough and highlight brackets around selected text as well as subscription options.

And when the Braves come to town to face the Nationals. Unless everyone in Nationals Park is wearing Braves caps and cheer Braves home runs to be ironic.

That doesn't even really happen, at least not to the extent that it does with the Phils.

The other day on 94.1 they had someone call in and explain to people in Philly how they can get around the Nats efforts to block sales to people from Philly. It will be interesting to see how the crowd breaksdown for the games against the Phils this year.

Feels good, spring is soon upon us. My twitter feed is ripe with Blue Jays discussion.

All is good right now.

Ah. Morning talk radio is no longer about the Rams, and why should it be?

Now, all the discussion is on the Cardinals, and to an extent, the Blues. Life....is good.

Haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. I primarily use Chrome, but have been liking the new Firefox builds.

I was all up in this thread and then I saw some 50 posts ago some madness about GOD retiring at the end of this season, and I couldn't bring myself to post in the thread for a bit. :(

I'm sticking my head in the sand on that one. Not touching that subject until it happens.

He is old and washed up. Personally, I would hate the guy for not allowing great young talent like ~~Dolph Ziggler~~ David Robertson to get their shot.

Robertson is ok but he'll never be as great as great champion papelbon.

Are you trying to say Mo is Triple H?

Sanjuro · (02-21-2012, 03:21 PM)

Has Mo even been on the cover of a video game?

Joe Shlabotnik · (02-21-2012, 03:22 PM)

He's my favoritest True Yankee ever and I will be heartbroken when he is gone. The kind of player I will inadequately describe seeing live to my hypothetical children.

In a strictly mercenary sabrehead sense, though, they'll be OK.

Mo is more like Ric Flair, except his wives don't hit him.

Apparently Dan Uggla put on 20 more pounds of muscle during the offseason to add to his already popeyesque arms....I'm not seeing this as a good thing, since more than a few guys have ruined their swings by adding muscle. Not to mention loss of flexibility on the field.

Holy crap. Pineda is bigger/taller than CC? :O

Hahaha he's going to have the mobility of a T-Rex.

Oneof the great injustices in baseball is that Yankee fans haven't had to suffer through a season of having a shitty closer or closer by committee. It's a special kind of hell that every baseball fan should have to endure.

That time is coming. And it's going to be terrible.

I don't wanna think about it.

Red Sox get Chris Carpenter and a player to be named later from the Cubs for compensation from Theo.

I've also heard the Cubs may be getting a PTBNL from the Red Sox as well.

Speaking of PTBNL, I hear that Mystery Team might be jumping into the bidding on him with an invite to spring training.

Carpenter appears to be a power-armed reliever (with little movement).

I believe he took that title from former Royals pitcher Ryan Braun.
