Brad Posted April 22, 2020 Report Posted April 22, 2020 On 4/22/2020 at 1:43 AM, Soulstation1 said: Arod / JLo buying the Mets ! Expand No, they’re not, they’re thinking of putting a bid together. I doubt — and hope it won’t — happen. On 4/22/2020 at 2:00 AM, felser said: Has to be an improvement over the Wilpon mess. Expand I don’t think it would. It would be similar to the Marlins situation where they had to cut payroll because they couldn’t afford the team. Aroid and Jlo would need wealthy partners to swing this. I’d much rather have Cohen, who has deep pockets than these two. It would be a disaster. Quote
catesta Posted April 22, 2020 Report Posted April 22, 2020 If Cohen decides he is interested again, as I assume he will be since he already owns a percentage, I have no doubts he can outbid Rodriguez and the large pool of investors he will have to bring with him. Quote

ghost of miles Posted April 28, 2020 Report Posted April 28, 2020 MLB considering as many as 15 plans for potential 2020 season Quote
felser Posted April 29, 2020 Report Posted April 29, 2020 I do miss baseball, have lived and breathed it since I was seven years old, have spent much of my life with my ears glued to hall-of-fame broadcasters (Bob Prince as a kid, Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn as an adult) but everyone needs to stay safe. I will welcome whatever they come up with., Quote
Brad Posted April 29, 2020 Report Posted April 29, 2020 According to some reports, baseball may realign for this year, as follows: MLB would re-align the league into three divisions with 10 teams in each division; teams would only play games within their division (at the regional hub they're assigned to); and the traditional American League/National League dynamic would be abolished, with teams being assigned to divisions based on geography. Possible divisions would look like this: East (Florida): Baltimore Orioles Boston Red Sox Miami Marlins New York Mets New York Yankees Philadelphia Phillies Pittsburgh Pirates Tampa Bay Rays Toronto Blue Jays Washington Nationals Central (Texas): Atlanta Braves Chicago Cubs Chicago White Sox Cincinnati Reds Cleveland Indians Detroit Tigers Kansas City Royals Milwaukee Brewers Minnesota Twins St. Louis Cardinals West (Arizona): Arizona Diamondbacks Colorado Rockies Houston Astros Los Angeles Angels Los Angeles Dodgers Oakland Athletics San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants Seattle Mariners Texas Rangers Quote

Matthew Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 It's the year after the Bud Harrelson / Pete Rose dust-up in the playoffs. So, I'm in the left field bleachers in San Diego and the crowd is on Rose, who is playing left field, for the entire game, I mean non-stop, full-bore, unrelenting, calling him everything under the sun. Bottom of the ninth, and, of course the Padres are losing, the final out is a fly ball to left, Rose catches it, turns around to the bleachers, and flips everyone off. Of course, now he would have probably been suspended with a fine. Then, everyone laughed. Quote

When I was in college in the early 70s, I attended a few Senators games. At one game I was sitting in the CF bleachers and one fan heckled the CF (can’t remember which team) from start to finish. The CF never once acknowledged the heckling which, of course, made the fan madder. Quote
