Baseball - October 2007

I was watching the last game of the ALCS and wondered if the 2007 Red Sox are better than the 1927 Yankees. So just give me your thoughts on the matter. Please tell me what you thought made the two teams so great.

I grew up a dodger fan in LA. I know this sounds strange, but started cheering for the Yankees mid 80's. I still live in LA but cheer for the Yanks.
My favorite player was Don Mattingly. I thought Joe Torre did a great job and was hoping Donnie B would become manager of the Yanks. But if Joe T gets the job with the Dodgers and brings Don to LA, I might start cheering again for the Dodgers. Yankees would still be #1, but Dodgers might be strong #2. Any thoughts?

Now that the world series is over and the hot stove league is here, what do you think the team will do. What do you think we need to do? Get a new catcher? More pitching? Who's getting dumped?

Reposting this question because I didn't get that many answers with different perspectives last night


He opted out I know but it doesn't neccessarily mean he'll want more money even tho he has the option to ask for more.

I know how he and Scot Boras have been in the past but lets think about it

what if he changes his attitude in the offseason and after thinking long and hard about what he has accomplished and thinks about just playing for a winning team

Hypothetically, what if he asks for less money and what if he signs up with another team for like 6 years 17- 20 million dollars a year that is pretty close to contending with a championship so that he can be accomodated in that team's payroll?

how would Yankee fans feel then?

I know the chances of that happening are mighty slim but lets be objective...what if he does that?

what if he opted out just to get a change of scenery?

what if he did that cuz he feels the yanks aren't good anymore to contend for a championship

what if he's just sick and tired of new york and the media and being underappreciated?

what if he's tired of the management for making poor decision, especially on pitching? (this point only is kinda similar to Kobe as he is unhappy with the management for not trying to bring in quality talent around him)

Can I get a Amen for that?
Who needs that post-season loser? His pouty antics on the bench and the "I'm not loved" atitude is gone.
All us Yankee fans should say Halellujeh!. Remember this everywhere he's gone has become a conflict in the making. When he was in Seattle he was Me Me Me. When he was traded to the Rangers he was more intetested in his own stats than the outcome of the games. Yeah he'e an offensive machine in the regular season but where is he when he's needed in the postseason. I say Good Riddance. Maybe the Yankees will get back to "Team " baseball.
How say you?

With Arod opting out from the Yankees to pursue a 300 hundred million dollar contract, and players saying they would leave if their manager wasn't brought back......Has the control shifted to the players now more than the franchise? Is it time for a salary cap to be implemented? Owners who want to win will maximize their spending and owners (hmmm, hmmm Pittsburgh Pirates) who could care less about putting a good product on the field will spend the least. It seems to keep players a little more grounded with football. It's hard to root for these guys when they're in and out so fast because of money or because they're unhappy about an administartive decision. If Steinbrenner took orders from these players, Mattingly would probably still be at first base and Bernie Williams would be batting clean up.

The Dodgers are planning on firing Grady Little and replacing him with Joe Torre who in return wants to bring Don mattingly along with him. What are your thoughts on all of that? How do you think it will all play out? Do you think guys such as Jroge Posada, Andy Pettite, Roger Clemens, and perhaps Mariano Rivera might sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers? Anyway the story about Joe Torre is right on this link:

I personally blame these two teams for making it impossible for alot of teams to sign him. Granted he is worth alot of money but not the amount he and Scott Boras will be asking for.

just so happens to have a heart attack while running and he can't make it around the bases, does the homerun count? or it doesn't because he didn't touch all the bases..

Only last years World Series between St. Louis and Detroit drew a lower audience! My 2005 White Sox vs. Houston had more viewers than this year!!
So the question is - was it because the playoffs as a hole sucked this year - or was it because the rest of the world hates Boston since they have become the annoying brother in the world of Evil Empires??

Now that the MLB baseball season is over, the sale of the Chicago Cubs will take center stage. One of baseball's most storied franchises is worth around $600 million to $1 billion depending upon who you ask.

In another thread, one poster mentioned that Commissioner Bud Selig and Jerry Reinsdorf (principal owner of the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago White Sox) would try and block Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, from becoming the next owner of the Cubs.

I know Cuban's been a pain in the butt to guys like NBA Commissioner David Stern, who's fined Cuban on numerous occasions, but if no one with at least some Chicago ties steps forward to buy the Cubs, then I don't see why an offer from Cuban wouldn't at least receive fair consideration.
