Are MLB umpires as a whole getting better at their job, or do you think they're getting worse, especially with the implementation of questec? Also, who do you think is the best/worst umpire in the league right now?

The Astros just signed Geoff Blum. I think they brought him in for utility purposes and another old veteran in the dugout. What do you think?

I read many threads about how Scott Boras is ruining baseball, or about how the players now are just greedy and selfish. However, shouldn't the owners shoulder at least some of the blame?

For almost a century, they treated the players like chattel through the reserve clause. And now they - not the players or agents - are the ones who offer these monster contracts. So why does nobody get on the owners?

I am not talking about any bandwagon jumper beating their drums and singing 26 over and over again. I am talking about those guys that jump for joy when their team wins, mourn with the team when they lose, and will not say that other teams suck even if they don't suck. ( there was this kid in school, he was showing off his yankees boxers in the locker room 2 months ago, and just 2 weeks a go, he was wearing a red sox jersey. I am not talking about those people.)

What moves do you see them making? They need a Outfielder and maybe another starting pitcher... Who will they get??

I am interested in finding phone numbers, snail mail addresses or email addresses for former major league baseball players who had a very short, "cup of coffee" type career in either the 1970's or 1980's (less than two years - 100 or fewer AB in total career or less than 50IP). I just want to talk with them about their MLB experience.

If the story plays as it looks, the man with the most hits in baseball history and the man with the most home runs in baseball history will each be kept out of the Hall of Fame. While this is a rightful thing to do, what impact does it leave on the Hall of Fame? Any?

Back in the latter half of September (I think the 22nd maybe) the Yankees defeated the Blue Jays 12-11. 23 runs and there were no home runs in that game for either team. So what is the record for most total runs with no homers?

Now that the Yankees added 3 pitchers and a catcher to their 40-man roster, their total is up to 39. They still haven't formally added A-Rod, Posada, Rivera, or Molina. Also, they are looking to sign Andy Petitte, Luis Vizciano, and Ron Mahay. The only player I can see them releasing is Carl Pavano. This would bring their total up to 45. I don't think players can go on the 60 day DL in the off season. How will they manange to have only 40 players after they sign these guys?

Matt Holliday had better numbers and his team went to the World Series. Come on now, that is a slap in the face to give it to Jimmy Rollins. I guess they felt sorry for him. We all know the TRUE MVP is Matt Holliday.

I was curious if someone who knows about populations of cities in USA or Canada knows what are like the top 15 (preferably) or atleast top 10 cities that dont have a baseball team.. Reason I ask is I have a game where I can move teams and want to move some of the small market teams to cities that don't have baseball teams.

This question is for Chicago Cubs fans only, I would like to ask Chicago Cubs fans this question, that made news today. John McDonough has resigned from the Chicago Cubs as team president, after one year on the job, and after 24 years of being on the Chicago Cubs, and he has taken the same job that he was doing this past year with the Chicago Cubs, and even with the team up for sale this offseason, and he has taken the president's job of the Chicago Blackhawks. And so John McDonough is going from a team that has faired very well in attendance for home games, and he is going to a team that has not faired well in attendance for home games, and also a team that very rarely (if ever) shows thier home games on TV. And also let's not have this happen every year, where the Chicago Cubs have to look for a new team president every off season.

Yahoo Sports guy Larry Biel and he said that he feels that Bonds should still make the Hall of Fame, even after this last round of breaking news. I don't agree with Passan at all on this, but I do think Jeff is a good writer for such a young kid, I think he's only 27. What do you think about this? Is Passan wrong about Bonds? I think he is.

Obviously they mean something other than New York. I heard that they say it stands for something, but don't know what it is.
