    ESPN Is Pathetic

    Well that's your opinion. I've seen many, MANY clever things posted here over the few years I've been lurking and given the title of this thread, thought it fit. Not only does it ring true, but IMO it's funny. I may be a rival fan but I appreciate a damn good baseball forum because I'm a...

    ESPN Is Pathetic

    Apologies if this has already been posted in this colossal thread. On second thought, it's probably worth repeating anyway :D.

    Worst MLB Franchise of All Time

    Have to co-sign TheYaz67 here -- It would certainly have to go to my Phillies. The oldest continuous, one-name, one-city franchise in all of pro sports who, when they reached 10,000 losses In July of ’07, had just one WS Championship (not until 1980!) in their 125 years. Even the Cubbies...

    PC to Mac transition

    Well that went over my head. While I am kinda hurting/immobile right now, have not been at all mean or catty in the Pete Rose thread, I don't think (unless you're Fay Vincent, of course). :)

    Pete Rose denied reinstatement

    I hear you. I posted all that background (as most fans can remember how they reacted when watching those plays; forget about how the HoF "ineligible rule" came to be; people outside Philly not aware of Dykstra story...) to try to illustrate just how slanted Vincent (& Co.) really were; how he &...

    Pete Rose denied reinstatement

    Everything, JMO. Look at Vincent pushing the HoF ineligible rule for Rose exclusively while he/they obviously weren't concerned about the other gambling issues within MLB. (That's the issue I take much exception to.) Vincent (and his successor went along) made it strictly personal while...

    Pete Rose denied reinstatement

    Don't know who's more crazily comical, him or Canseco. LOL.

    Pete Rose denied reinstatement

    Agree with entire post. I believe what I (and some others, such as Jayson Stark) are focusing on is just the HoF aspect of it, and for the reasons I outlined above -- The HoF was not a factor when he agreed with Mr. Giamatti. I have a BIG issue with how everything else in MLB transpired (such...

    Pete Rose denied reinstatement

    Not to beat a dead horse but MLB is, thankfully, currently run by a more even-headed Commissioner who isn't out to just grind a personal vendetta while letting every other transgression against the sport fly. As long as he isn't influencing games on the field, the current regime isn't going to...

    Pete Rose denied reinstatement

    As I understand it, the networks are seperate entity, from MLB itself. I think there would have been a fuss raised by some people if it was still TBS and the Braves, if they were still owned by Ted Turner, and Rose worked those games. As the HoF issue proved, MLB can influence/put pressure on...

    PC to Mac transition

    FWIW, I remember reading concerns about transferring music to non-IOS devices due to iTunes. Downloaded Double-Twist and can just drag & drop music from iTunes to android device. I switched 7 years ago to Mac and can honestly say I can never go back. Go nuts helping my older cousin with her...

    Pete Rose denied reinstatement

    IIRC, while Rose was forbidden to take part in any of his former teams' ceremonies (he wasn't allowed on the field in '90 for the Phillies' 30th anniversary of their first-ever WS title, along with Reds' Big Red Machine anniversaries or players' number retirements), I believe there were...

    Pete Rose denied reinstatement

    Hi Sox Fans, Yankees (ducking :>) & Phillies fan lurker here. As someone who lists Rose among my top two all-time to ever see play ball, I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Manfred’s assessment and decision. He is also the first commissioner since Mr. Giamatti whom I see as being legit. Regarding...
