MLB 2012 (random postings/events)

Hanley is a Dodger now.


Also, the Phillies just made a STUPID move. They've been trying to trade Cole Hamels. No one wanted him for the salary he makes....so the Phillies made him the 2nd-highest paid pitcher behind Sabathia after failing to trade him. Bonehead move. He's not worth THAT money, and definitely not worth more than Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay. They're going to regret this I think.

6yrs/144 million....lol

Man, I'm just seeing this story now about Cal Ripken's mother being abducted at gunpoint last night. Thankfully she's ok now. Crazy though

I bet if she was packing heat it wouldn't have happened.

Cop fired for slurring Carl Crawford of the Boston Red Sox - ESPN Boston (http://espn.go.com/boston/mlb/story/_/id/8202374/cop-fired-slurring-carl-crawford-boston-red-sox)


Did I miss something? When did "Monday" get transformed into a racial word? Got to be the stupidest crap I've ever heard of...lol

What the hell?

The word is considered a racial slur when associated with the phrase, "I hate Mondays."

No it isn't. I hate Mondays too, unless the Skins aren't playing that night or if it's my birthday and I've taken off work.

Boston...geesh, getting worse every day.

Welcome to the bigs Matt Harvey. 11 k's so far for the Mets. Plus he's got 2 hits.

^ Including a double!


I miss the days when pitchers could actually hit...you know, back in the Bob Gibson days.

I love a good firesale from our rivals.

This is kind of amazing:

Still don't understand why teams sign these guys to contracts like these. It's why I say that Dan Snyder couldn't hold a candle to dumb contracts when compared to MLB owners.
