I'm not a JP defender by any means. I think the revolving door of players is a reminder of his failures.

Hinske and Wells were drafted.. signing Thomas was a gamble no question and Ryan was a pretty decent closer until he got hurt.

Fonzi.. I get what you're saying. I'm not saying Rios is a bad player, just for the money he is getting; he is not bang for the buck. Rios defense is nothing to write home about (not great enough to give him a break on his average offensive stats). If they decide to keep him, fine.. no worries...

And get nothing for him. This would be addition by subtraction. They have a player in Snider that can play RF, who would be paid the major league minimum. Seems to have a good bat and needs to be given a chance. You get rid of an awful contract of the 60 million plus, which you can save for down...

Rios had his chance to prove himself, regardless of his age.. and its been subpar based on his wages. Dont blame JP so much on this since it looked like he was going to be a very good player. What I would say is that when they cracked down on steroids 2 years ago, he has never been the same...

Kind of reminds me of Phil Hartman... Baby its over.. but let me sleep for awhile.

Either way, you never like to hear about a violent death like that.

Havent heard it being called a muder-suicide as of yet.

But Homer lost to the "rod" when he came back from space.

Maddux had that killer change up, a terrific moving fastball (how many batters struck out with that moving fastball that starts at you then tails to hit the inside corner), plus a curve, slider, cut fastball. That is the art of pitching, just changed speeds and locations. He didnt need to overpower.

I agree on both counts. If they let Mussina in, then they should let Tommy John in as well. I'd take Jack Morris in a heartbeat. The guy was a pure winner. ERA, strikeouts didnt matter... just wins and the guy was probably the best clutch pitcher in the 80's and early 90's. His 10 innings in the...

It's a good question. I think baseball writers of today would not elect Diz, because most writers just look at numbers. When Diz was elected, I think the writers looked at his dominance in those few years, plus he was a bit of a character. Also, medical science did not allow Diz to have a longer...

Diz, much like Koufax, had an injury shortened career, but was pretty much dominant when healthy.

if he is, he is taking the wrong ones

I guess being critical of someone, makes you a hater. I for was very critical of the choices Wie and her handlers made in terms of her golf game. I have always said, the best thing for women's golf is to have a Michelle Wie playing well. With the women's tour losing money and sponsors, it...
