Teams abandoning shift against Dunn
QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 20, 2013 -> 03:29 PM) Dude. Greg's point is that it's unprecedented how a guy who might reach 600 home runs can't even be given away. 15 million dollars for 40 hrs and 100 RBIs. Bad ass "production" as many claim yet 29 other teams say hell no. How is that not unprecedented? Examples please. All bashing aside. Dude, gregs point is always "this guy makes blah blah money he is a bum i dont like him he isnt Konerko because I love him why didnt anyone trade for him?" you cant automatically assume anyone is going to take on his contract. Just because he has a chance to hit 600 homeruns doesnt mean that teams should line up and take on his contract. IF he hits 600 homeruns, he will most likely be considered very heavily for the hall of fame. That doesnt mean I think he will hit that many, because a lot of things have to fall in place in order for him to do that. He has to stay healthy, he has to stay productive, neither of those are guaranteed.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 20, 2013 -> 03:23 PM) You know who should be in the HOF? Juan Pierre. Pierre doesnt have the distinction of being one of the elite in any category. This is all contingent on Dunn hitting 600 homeruns of course, which means he will have to play pretty well for the rest of his career.

Teams abandoning shift against Dunn
Ok, for real now. Adam Dunns worth to another team right now doesnt do anything to change the fact that he could join an elite list of homerun hitters in the hall of fame. It doesnt make him one of the best overall players to ever play the game, but rather makes him one of the best power hitters to ever play the game.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 20, 2013 -> 03:17 PM) I believe only 8 have hit 600. What a nonsequitir, however, re. Dunn. Right now, nobody would even claim him on waivers because of fear the White Sox would just let him go. It just confounds me. We have a guy basically no team wants who could make the Hall of Fame. It's unprecedented. BECAUSE ONLY 8 PEOPLE IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME HAVE HIT THAT MANY HOMERUNS WHY IS THAT SO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND?!?!?!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 20, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) It's funny how in the Pro Football Hall of Fame you pretty much can't get in unless you win and win big. It's totally different in baseball. But in my opinion, Baseball's Hall simply cannot ever consider Dunn unless he wins something. You are talking about a guy no other team will even acquire at his current salary! Nobody in baseball wants him, folks, at his current salary. And we're talking HALL OF FAME? how many players have hit 600 homeruns, Greg? Forget about salary, other teams wanting him, etc.

Sale 6th in baseball in WAR
QUOTE (KG#1 @ Aug 20, 2013 -> 10:45 AM) And that isn't even the case sometimes . . . Errors that lead to runs. W/L for a pitcher should be one of the last stats people look at when evaluating a pitcher. No way Sale has 11 losses on the season if he has a good offense/defense behind him. hell, it doesnt even have to be good. I would accept mediocre. Sale has gotten some of(if not) the worst run support in the league

In my mind i don't think Orton is deserving of a title run, but I think this persona works well for him. I thought he had his best run as the cocky, slightly out of control young menber of Evolution. Running with the Mcmahons should create the same effect. I was sick of the Viper crap anyways lol

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 19, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) ....Or not. Am I only one that thinks those Ryback segments are pretty weak? However it would be cool if they used one of those segments to debut a small guy like Generico. Rollins was putting no weight on it after Ziggler put him over the rope, it looked like he did some serious damage right off the bat Rybacks bully segments are really stupid. Oh yea, John Cena's elbow, holy s***!!!!

ARod suspended for entire 2014 season
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 19, 2013 -> 08:59 AM) When did any of those guys accuse the Yankees of trying to hurt them to save money? Who cares? Nobody is the good guy here, I have no pity for either party. And it is no secret that the Yankees want this contract voided, so lets not pretend like Arods fib is completely unfounded.

ARod suspended for entire 2014 season
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 19, 2013 -> 07:41 AM) I think having his camp publicly declare war on one of MLB's great, well-run franchises, with the stuff his camp said yesterday, is pretty good motivation. ARod's s*** stinks so much that he has me being complimentary to the Yankees. f*** that. Clemens and Pettitte were juicing back when they were winning 20 games like it was no big deal, the Yankees have had Arod on the payroll while he has been juicing. And there are probably more juicers on those championship teams too. Dont give me this "great, well run"bulls***. They knew. And they went and signed ARod to a SECOND 300 million dollar contract ARods day will come, I dont need Dempster acting like he is the morality police.

I don't feel like people in the locker room dislike him, I feel like they think he has the drive to win. You never see the nasty streak in Webb. It is obvious in Long, Lance Louis used to scrap on every play. Webb just seems like he is just there.

What is the point to beaning him? You are so tough you stand up for all of them? He didn't do anything to the sox to deserve getting beaned. Fans booed him, it was a circus, move on. Dempster is a dumbass and I'm glad he is on the hook for this game.

I don't know, it seemed like HHH did exactly what Vince wanted him to do. Vince has been talking about how he doesn't think Bryan is that good and worthy of being WWE Champion.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 09:23 PM) Dempster throws at A-Rod. A-Rod counters by smacking his fastball 425 feet to dead center. I hate A-Rod as much as the next guy but boy was that something to watch. It was a massive blast. And it started a big Yankee rally

So there is a herder in Bolivia that is claiming to be 123 years old. He attributes it to a diet of quinoa grains, riverside mushrooms, and non stop chewing of coca leaves.

So ARods lawyer is saying that the Yankees tried to get the surgeon to botch the hip surgery, among other things(like withholding a MRI so ARod wouldn't know how bad his hip was) Seems like he really is putting himself out there for a slander lawsuit http://deadspin.com/a-rods-new-lawyer-clai...p-su-1160389221
