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?

The Chicago Cubs go into the 2008 season with the longest drought between World Series championships. Their last worlds championship came 100 years ago in 1908.

They haven't been to a World Series since the infamous "Murphy The Goat" curse was laid upon the team during the team's last appearance in a World Series.

I say curse be darned! GO CUBS GO !!!

Will 2008 finally be the north siders year?

I know its postseason (or was), but is it like this in here year round? But I guess if we're talking baseball who are we going to talk about, the the Reds? Please dont answer, I really dont care, just more of a statement phrased as a question so the Yahoo police dont report me.

Well i dint want him to opt out but i guess that is what he needed to do , i feel he was not happy in a yankees uniform and i also hear because he was not sure if Posada,Rivera and Pettitte were not coming back to the Yankees or is it that hes being a greedy bastard who justs wants money

So how do you feel

Perry who had 314 Wins in 5,350 Innings, and Don Sutton who won 324 wins in 5,282 Innings. So, my point is, Jack Morris should definitely be in the Hall of Fame. He pitched over 1,400 fewer innings than Sutton and Perry who are in the Hall and won 254 games, only 46 games short of 300. He definitely would've gotten over 350 wins if he pitched 5,000 innings. In reference to the Bert Blyleven argument, Bert also pitched almost 5,000 innings, 4,970 innings and won 287 games, so the argument that Bert is the best pitcher not in the Hall doesn't hold water, and don't bring up Gossage, because yes, he should be in too. But certainly Morris should, you agree?

and subsidize his salary to stay in Kansas City the rest of his career? I mean baseball is exempt from Anti-Trust laws, right? and if he isn't injured financially he can't win anything in court.

also, how much would A-Rod be worth to play on your team ?

2007-10-29 13:05:49 · 9 answers · asked by Anonymous

4 World Series champion teams, 1984 - Tigers, 1991 - Twins, 1992 - Blue Jays and 1993 Blue Jays. Jack's career record was: 254-186, with 2,478 K's and a 3.90 ERA. He was a 5 time all-star and WS MVP in 1991. People say that you have to win 300 games, but I he was the most dominant pitcher of the 1980's with 160 wins. Hopefully, he'll get in one day, you agree?

My first pick would be Miguel Cabrera from the Florida Marlins. But the problem is he had a breakout season this year and we will have to give up a lot to pray him from the Marlins. Tori Hunter is free. He might fit well in that spot. I hate A-Rod, never liked him. But you can't replace a clean-up hitter like A-Rod. It's going to be hard.

swept the Astros, in 2006 the Cards beat the Tigers in 5 games and this season the Red Sox swept the Rockies. I have one word for this, BORING. That's why ratings have been down. What ever happened to awesome WS like the 1986 one, Mets/Red Sox in 7 games. This WS was so boring, you agree? Why is it that one of the teams always runs out of steam and gets swept in 3 of the past 4 WS?

It's no secret why so many people love to hate the Yankees today. Just their mammoth payroll is reason enough. Or the way they seem to snatch many of the best players in the league - often from teams that just can't afford them. And I'm sure 25(? number) World Series Titles has something to do with it.

But I'm curious to know when the tide changed. It seems like the Yankees used to be America's team. The team seems to be linked to many of the greatest moments in the history of the game and many of the game's best players spent time with the Yankees.

On a side note: one of my greatest baseball memories was going to Yankee Stadium to root for the Boston Red Sox while wearing my Giants hat. I was in the third deck behind home plate and I'm surprised at how close to the field those seats were. While the stadium wasn't anything special, there was a real sense that that was what baseball was all about.

Papelbon had said that if the Sox won the World Series, he and Beckett would do the Irish jig... I was *really* looking forward to seeing that (particularly Beckett), but as of 2:30 am, they hadn't yet and I went to sleep. Does anyone know if they ever actually did it?
