Baseball - August 2007

I do it because that is how I deal with the passing of the late Scooter. He is a great legend who should always be remembered. The Yankees and the fans are lucky to have the Scooter as one of their own. Also, if you want, please star if you think that the world lost a great person in Rizzuto.

to me with the guaranteed contracts, the teams couldn't do anything about it. Players are professionals, they are business men. I doubt it would be like high school or college where they would be ostracized. There must be several MLB players who are gay. They should just come out and live their lives openly and honestly.

why does everyone always trash-talk Yankee fans?, I don't understand what the point is, cause it is impressive how they sucked first half and now are first in the wildcard. But there is also reasons to trash-talk them, cause they always refer to how many championships theyve won no matter wut and how they have great players...I DONT KNOW, yankee fans just i guess kinda have big mouths cause they think that the yankees are so fantastic but in reality they arent THAT amazing...someone help me clear this up, why they get trash-talked so much...........anyways GO JAYS

I get more than enough stars in my regular questions, so it's not a case of me star-mongering.

I can't stand the Yankees, but Phil Rizzuto was a class act, a real winner, and a distinctively colorful baseball announcer after his retirement.

Here's to you., Scooter.

I find it baffling and mind boggling that Peter Edward Rose Sr. born 04-14-41 - 66 years old, is not in the Hall of Fame yet. How many current Hall of Famers want him in? I know Mike Schmidt does, as i'm sure Ripken and Gwynn do as well. It's the old farts like Bob Feller who don't want him in. Say what you want about his gambling AFTER his career, but the numbers Pete Rose put up were astounding. 10 seasons of 200 hits or more, yes, Ichiro will beat that, but that is incredible in itself. And to me, there is only ONE RECORD in baseball, and that is the all time HITS record, which Rose has, not the all-time HR record, and mark my words, NO ONE will touch this record for probably another 50 years, this and Joe Dimaggio's 56 games hitting streak. Those are 2 records that won't be touched for generations. Let Pete in already, and don't say, WELL HE COMMITED THE MOST CARDINAL SIN OF BASEBALL, he gambled...True, but the gambling that was brought into question was when his playing

For me it's Matt Kilroy's 513 strikeouts, or if you don't want to allow it because he threw from the 50 foot distance (in his defense batters still got to call pitch elevation), Ty Cobb's .367 career batting average.

Their bullpen is seriously PATHETIC. How can they even charge their fans admission???

They have been awful from the moment they were created. Why have a franchise baseball team if your just going to lose badly year in and year out. It's pointless.

For the sake of ALL baseball and baseball fans just fold the team up!!

Yes I'm sure in NY that A-Rod would be the choice. Maggie has played without a doubt more balanced and more team player. At this point
maggie has a landslide.

i am not a really big fan, but the highest # i can remember seeing was 72- carlton fisk IIRC. is there a rule not allowing #'s to be in the 80's or 90's?

also, if a team retires enough uniform #'s, like the yankees have about 15 retired. a day will eventually come when there are so many retired numbers, there is not enough for the team. what will they do?

There was an episode of Seinfeld in which George has a Phil Rizzuto keychain, that when you squeeze it, it says 'Holy Cow!' Does such a thing exist?

We miss you Phil, like Steinbrenner said, I guess heaven needed a shortstop.

About how many baseball players are released by their ballclubs at the end of the year who aren't able to be picked up by another team?

are there any in the minors? must be right? how about in history? when the ***** leagues integrated im sure there were some right?

lets not turn this into an unintelligent argument about race, but Ive just noticed really theres no african american catchers in mlb at all,

ive thought about why that is, there are only about 10 pitchers who are black too

besides baseball not big in black neighborhoods, is it because black players who come up in the minors or into the game are put into the outfield because of their athleticism? (yeah i know this is a stereotype)

what is up with this?

I've been a Mets fan since I was a kid, back when guys like Darryl Strawberry and Gary Carter were on the team. I liked the Mets because my father was a Mets fan, and my family lived for 10 years in Flushing.

But I also liked the Mets because they had this energy about them, and when they won, they didn't take themselves so seriously, they had fun, and still do. They're the offbeat alternative to the stoic and serious Yankees. Even when they were bad (names like Vince Coleman and Mo Vaughn come to mind) that just made the good times even sweeter.

So what about the rest of you? What makes you like "your team"?
