    Baseball Related Online Resources

    A few others Business of Baseball Focus on the business side of the game SABR Society for American Baseball Research Baseball Fever Active bulletin board sponsored by Baseball Almanac people, so it's heavier emphasis on baseball history Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Online resource...

    Front Office Restructuring Updates

    I'd hate to lose Rizzo as well, but at this point it wouldn't be a surprise to see him take another job, esp. the way that Byrnes is already reshaping the FO.... and certainly Toronto and other teams would love to have Rizzo in their organization.

    Peter Gammons on Sportscenter

    Hatred???? I've no idea what you mean by that--it's NOT hatred.... It's more a case of being aware of how the media works and knowing HOW Gammons gets his sources. I'm surprised that sophisticated fans can be gullible enough to listen/read him without skepticism.

    Peter Gammons on Sportscenter

    That's EXACTLY the kind of negative rumor mongering that corporations (inlcuding baseball organizations) do to anyone that "leaves the family." Of course, locals here are perhaps more familiar with how the Dbacks begin the negative whispering campaigns against the Rubys, Overbays, Spiveys, etc...

    Peter Gammons on Sportscenter

    O geez.... MANY years ago (pre-ESPN days) Gammons might have had a shred of journalistic credibility, but ever since he sold his soul to the Devil.. he has become little more than a "media *****," as he strives to be the Hedda Hopper of baseball gossip. He no longer does serious baseball...

    Padres series thread

    "Melvin" and "thinking" in the same sentence does not compute.

    DBacks have Rally Sally at least

    Oy! Surprised to hear that she made an appearance at the AzFall league since it seemed that she was primarily spurred on by the recognition she gets when it's her Jumbo-tron time. "Relatively" subdued during most of the game, she switches into high gear when she becomes the Jumbo-tron "star"

    NL All-Star Vote Leaders

    All Star voting is irrelevant... but it's pointless to get upset over how it's structured. MLB just promote$ fan voting to $park more intere$t and boo$t rating$. Besides there is NO rule that says that a player's 2-3 months stats should be weighted higher than another player's career figures...

    Matt Williams

    Care to overstate that about the "Baron of Banality" I enjoy the TV broadcasts that have Matty serving as the color man. I'll take his far more original and knowledgable comments over TB's shallow enthusiasm any day!

    About something Thom said

    At least 90% of what Thom says is either inaccurate or irrelevant (as is this example). He will play much better if you just set the TV to "mute"

    No need to overdose on rejects from the junkyard

    MLB Steroid Melodrama

    So.... what other rumors can we cook up and spread around message boards (since the media seem to pick up on some of them)

    Yankee fans have given up. This makes me kind of sad

    That would be awesome! If that should happen, I can't see NYY fans reacting much like BoSox fans--the cynicism would be there, but larger numbers would just jump ship like rats escaping a burning building.
