PHILLYQ Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/9301536/major-league-baseball-suspend-20-players-including-alex-rodriguez-ryan-braun-part-miami-investigation This is remarkable if true and I'd love to see A-Rod and Braun go down for 100 games, but I can't understand why the owner of the clinic would agree to turn over everything to MLB, essentially announcing to law enforcement that he was a dope dealer. Maybe they were already going to take him down but why admit it all now? I don't think MLB's lawsuit against him was going anywhere, either. What if A-Rod gets suspended for 100 games without pay, does that count against the Yanks salary figures? I ask, because I'm thinking that if A-rod doesn't get off the DL this season, he'll be suspended for 100 games in 2014. If his salary doesn't count because of the suspension, the Yanks have a much easier time of getting under the magic $189 million mark. Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 I read somewhere recently that you can be on the DL and be serving a suspension, which makes no sense but that's what I read, and it was on the internet so it must be true. Anyway, I don't think suspensions have anything to do with the payroll calculation, A-Rod's money is a sunk cost in that calculation. And given the fact that the player's union would surely dispute any suspension, if MLB gets its way, I think any suspensions will carry over into 2014 just because of how long it will take to adjudicate.

Soulstation1 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Indians are sucking it up now Playing vs stronger teams and losing ARod should just retire.... Edited June 9, 2013 by Soulstation1 Quote
steve(thelil) Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 I just noticed that not a single MLB team has won more than 7 out of the last 10 games. I think that's pretty interesting (although I may be too easily amused) Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 In the 34th round of Saturday's MLB Draft the Arizona Diamondbacks selected Arizona State outfielder Cory Hahn, who became paralyzed in a base-sliding collision during a 2011 game. Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 WXIA-TV reports a home in Acworth, Georgia owned by former Atlanta Braves player Otis Nixon was destroyed by a fire set by a neighbor. Lamine Diaw is being held without bond on arson charges. Quote

Quincy Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 Indians getting pounded like a $5 hooker.... Ouch! (That's fun to say in a Vin Scully voice btw). Well you are in Texas and Kazmir is the ultimate rehab project, but at least Carlos was clutch. Hang in there. Quote

alocispepraluger102 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 Bryan Stow, the San Francisco Giants fan who was severely beaten in the Dodger Stadium parking lot over two years ago, is being sent home from his rehab facility because his insurance will no longer cover the costs. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Dodgers and Giants ownership / players or MLB should make this right... Edited June 13, 2013 by Soulstation1 Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 Dodgers and Giants ownership / players or MLB should make this right... yes Quote
Tim McG Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Dodgers and Giants ownership / players or MLB should make this right... yes I agree. Dodger thugs abound in games played at both ATT and that ditch called Chavez Ravine. Trust me. I have seen the drunken and overly tattoo inked thugs in SF. They are punks. They spend their time dogging vocal Giants fans. They drink copious amounts of alcohol, run their mouths incessantly and threaten even the most passive Giants fan. Why anyone should have to worry about getting a beating just because he is the other team's fan is beyond any reasonable explanation. The Dodgers suck and so do their tattooed, fat, ignorant fans...who sporadically show up for games at Chavez Ravine. The place is a ghost town. Edited June 14, 2013 by GoodSpeak Quote
steve(thelil) Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) When I checked the standings yesterday (NOT today), only one team had won at least 8 of the last 10 and only 1 other had won at least 7 of its last 10. Parity ? Edited June 16, 2013 by steve(thelil) Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon tweeted after pitcher Alex Cobb was hit in the head by a line drive during Saturday's game: "Ron Porterfield & our medical staff did a great job today. All went beyond professionalism with how well they dealt with an awful moment." Quote
Tim McG Posted June 19, 2013 Report Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) On Father's Day, while we were in LA [Playboy Jazz Festival/Magic Mountain], my son took me to an Angels vs Yankees game [not Giants, but it was still baseball] and we got to see a bit of history: Mariano Ramirez, the last man to wear #42, pitched in the last inning. Angels almost pulled off the sweep, but it was a fun day anyhow. Edited June 19, 2013 by GoodSpeak Quote
Neal Pomea Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Who are the strongest, most deserving candidates for the All Star team from YOUR team? For Washington it's Jordan Zimmermann and Ian Desmond. I would also say Gio Gonzalez who has really been very good but hasn't gotten winning decisions. Still the team usually wins when he pitches.
