Blog Post: Everything you need to know about what we don't know about the Phillies debt - 1 out of 30 total comment(s)
- Sun., 06/05/11 - 21:15 PMThe amount of debt clubs can 'safely' carry is not a problem that is limited to The Nine MLB teams; the NHL has had teams struggle. Look across the pond and it is much more of a mess; most of the top teams that play in the champions league are stretched way beyond their means. One of them with American ownership and one who had to try to get out of the hole with a fire sale to the group that owns the Red Sox. Even the beloved Barcelona had to take out a huge loan last summer for needed cash. This is a story to keep in the back of your head as the economy gets less and elastic and there continues to be less and less room to maneuver around large debt.
Article: Putting Schmidt's 'Four Aces' remarks into context - 1 out of 59 total comment(s)
- Fri., 04/08/11 - 09:43 AMI'm disappointed in the Times article for taking things out of context; the author cites some of the most electric throwers of *all-time*; ok - who were the other three starters in those rotations?
the strike zone has changed; watch espn classic or mlb network and see how obvious it is.
as mentioned here in other comments, pitching inside today is not the same as it was back then; it was used as a tool of the 'fear' the author describes.
the author would have done a better job if he could juxtaposed how that era of pitchers were viewed as over-powering, strength wise, and most of the hitters in the league were finesse hitters. there has been a paradigm shift and now the hitters are all bulked up, so pitchers have adjusted and become masters of finesse; Greg Maddux could be viewed as the transition case to this shift.
i am surprised that the editor of the article did not challenge the author more to show that it is not apples-to-apples, it's apples-to-oranges.
Article: Phil Sheridan: An odd situation at QB - 1 out of 98 total comment(s)
- Sun., 01/31/10 - 13:58 PMone part of the equation not spoken about here is the potential uncapped year coming up; the eagles recent success has a lot to do with them being more effective managing the salary cap than others (you could make an argument as the most effective). an uncapped year could change all these permutations at the QB position.

Blog Post: Rollins talks PEDs and privacy; Myers, Pedro and the waiver wire - 1 out of 38 total comment(s)
- Mon., 08/31/09 - 08:30 AMi'm not convinced that this case would have served cert and been the case that saves us all from folks prying into our private medical records. what is concerning is we have yet another article about this mess in baseball with no one asking players the obvious question: what was the players union doing during this entire time and are this generation of players, and the next, prepared to have the burden of doubt constantly on them?

- Tue., 07/21/09 - 13:25 PMAndy, in the NY Times today, editorial section, buried in the '59 supreme court decision, is a rebuke of the judges-umpires analogy.
Blog Post: Sosa and Wall St.: Greedy, arrogant liars - 2 out of 31 total comment(s)
- Fri., 06/19/09 - 10:11 AMas much as a solid citizen stand-up guy Ibanez has been, the failures of his union to do the right thing over ten years ago means by default, he is under suspicion. Raul, if you ever read this, it is no attempt to slander you; unfortunately, in the court of public opinion, you are guilty until proven innocent. and worse yet, if you accept that statement, the burden is on you to go back and prove your innocence for the past 15+ years. If you can figure out a way to do that, then you have found the invisible trap door your union has been keeping from you!
- Wed., 06/17/09 - 18:02 PMthey haven't scratched the surface; tally up the total of all the new baseball cribs in the last ten years subsidized by the tax payers (so giants new crib is out); it is close to or exceeds the trap money doled out; baseball owners also duped the public with promises of riches by having us pay for the new parks we can't afford to take our kids too. i don't write for the times or for espn, so my tickets aren't comp'd.
