@Kevinb, please read this post each time you think dipoto was a better gm than eppler.

agreed all around. their cameramen are also pretty crappy, especially on balls in flight. i get the history of this tournament, but i'm not a huge fan of the british open.

i think you know what needs to be done . . .

okay, but i need to make a couple of calls first. don't go anywhere - i'll be in touch soon.

you guys realize you're having the same exact argument in pretty much every thread in this forum, right? day after day after day after day after day . . .

so much this.

from the mod staff, i'd like to inform of you something really important around here, Revad. if you're going to start a thread about pujols, the word 'mang' has to be used within the first two paragraphs or you run the risk of having your post/thread deleted. consider yourself appropriately advised.

the halos are now under .500 with little hope that that will improve. so, i'm all for bringing ward up here on august 1 BUT only if he's going to play. if they leave him on the bench, there's really no point in having him up here.

how's she doing so far?

how about natalie portman?

in a society that is more easily aggravated, more violent, and more frequently armed, i expect there'll be a ton more of these kinds of shootings.

maybe i can help a bit.

spot on.

translate it into what?

we can make TJ surgery as common as all those NFL linemen who wear knee braces once they start playing NCAA ball. get 'er done, eppy.

not anymore.

bill and hilary!

which means it still won't be understandable to most people.

my preference is that they don't rush him back out there. i'm going to be on pins and needles every time he takes the mound for the foreseeable future. i hope physically he responds more like heaney than richards.

you should start by calling maxine waters. i think she's a big giver.

should be a "neutral" option.

i can hardly wait for luis valbuena to be on this list.

um, he was known as Disco Dan Ford.

i think a lot of the hype some players receive is due to entities like espn. they have a tendency to highlight certain players in certain sports - griffey jr., jordan, kobe, shaq, lebron, Tiger, brady, judge, harper, etc. Those guys were/are always visible on espn, and espn is a network that probably every cable and satellite subscriber has. the same can't be said for MLB channel, or the NHL network, or the Golf Channel. i think we can all agree that MLB could do a better job of marketing itself. The NBA and NFL have done a lot more nationally than baseball has in this dept. As for Trout, I saw an ad for a baseball video game last night, and it was all about him. I still think he should do an endorsement deal with Jersey Mike's.
