Quincy Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 The AL West will be a very interesting division this season -- The A's, Angels and the Rangers should all be good teams this year, might even get a wild card team out of the West. And they'll have all those games against the M's & Astros to inflate their records. Man, 19 games against each division opponent. Remember that come October when we start comparing W-L records. Quote

I had completely forgotten about the Astros coming into the AL West -- Bud Selig strikes again. Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Red Sox finally 'officially' signed Napoli - and now its a one year, five million base with incentives that bring it back to the original AAV of 13 million. Me likey although its not like Napoli would be blocking any hotshot prospect but if the medicals scared them that much, a one year deal sounds good to me. Let him tattoo the Monster in 2013 and go back on the market next year. Quote

Brad Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 Maybe this was mentioned before, but who is the BoSox manager for this season? John Farrell, their ex pitching coach. Quote

Dan Gould Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Time for Earl and Run Luciano to resume their argument. Quote

alocispepraluger102 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer Stan Musial died Saturday at the age of 92. Quote
GA Russell Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 As great as he was, I always felt that Stan the Man was undervalued, perhaps because he played in St. Louis instead of New York. Here is his LA Times obituary. http://www.latimes.com/sports/baseball/mlb/la-me-stan-musial-dies-20130119,0,4436967.story Quote
JSngry Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 I never heard anybody say anything really bad about Stan Musial as a ballplayer or as a human. To me, that's the ultimate championship. Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 "After Stan Musial signed my bat, he assured me I could play in the Majors if I practiced hard enough. I was a 12-year-old girl. classy." Quote
Brad Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 He was a classy individual, an icon. Stan the Man. Quote
Neal Pomea Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Earl Weaver. The angels better not be making any boneheaded plays in the field today. He'll be up in their face and on their case. Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Carl Erskine: I've had pretty good success with Musial by throwing my best pitch and then backing up third. Quote

PHILLYQ Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Earl Weaver was way ahead of his time. He was using statistical analysis before anybody had a computer. Quote
Blue Train Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 As good a place as any to put this. Pete Rose apparently has a reality show. http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/40952304 Quote
Ted O'Reilly Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Maybe this was mentioned before, but who is the BoSox manager for this season? John Farrell, their ex pitching coach. Ummm, aren't you forgetting his time with the Blue Jays, the only managing experience he has? Or does only BoSox time count? Quote
