Dave Winfield. Drafted by 4 teams across 3 pro sports. Led the Big Ten in rebounding one year. Struck out 15 in a College World Series semi final. Skipped the minors. Bo Jackson second. -
This is all academic anyway. There's no road to 2026 contention.

Or maybe one reason both leagues have left MLB in the dust is because they have sensible salary caps that allow for competition. Your "40% W/L" comparison is a bad one, BTW, due to the nature of baseball. 162 games, all low scoring. Relatively small advantages, smoothed over by a six months play every day schedule. Money wins in baseball. The Yankees have zero losing seasons since 1992. The Dodgers two losing seasons since 1998, and have had winning percentages over .600 in 7 of the last 9 seasons, assuming they don't this year. On and on. Payroll wins. That's got to change. Teams should win or lose based on factors other than money.

MLB is the only major pro sport in the US without a salary cap system in place. It's long past time for one. It's the single best method to ensure league wide competitiveness. Whatever it takes, get one in place. Make it firm, fair, and enforceable. Give a fair percentage of league wide revenue to the players. Just implement it. Let the players revolt. They'll come crawling back in short order.

Clemens starting represents a massive failure. He's not someone who will contribute to a winning MLB team. He is exactly who losing teams settle for. There's no "perception" issue here, or guessing. Clemens didnt start playing baseball this summer. There's history. An exception or two simply prove the rule.

It's been a common description of the difference for about 150 years

Matthews appears to struggle with the dreaded thir...sec...first-time-through-the-order.

Unreal. There are no words.

94 middle middle too much for Volpe.

Yes

This can't possibly be correct, can it??

I thought we had a tie game

The Joseph Schlitz Company was bought by Pabst several years ago.

Not many balls end up where that one did.

We need a word filter for that.

Perhaps they could have tried a better beer.

Maybe the Twins should send the Saints a few. The Twins were finished in July.

I dont think I've ever seen a hitter move his back foot like Lewis. It's amazing to me he ever makes contact.

We may need 3 position players to pitch at this rate.

Heh. Bit optimistic there, chief-ee.

Not sure why ya gotta bring me into this.
