QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 26, 2014 -> 02:35 AM) The main reason I bring it up is to not glorify Oz any more but to point out the insanity of baseball. Managers won't let these pitchers go deep into games at all. It's ruining baseball. Every pitch was a crucial pitch in the third fricking inning. There's no rhythm to the games. A game in an NL park goes 4 fricking hours tonight? Like I said, I wouldn't have been surprised had Vargas been pinch hit for in the third. Ridiculous. I contrast it to Ozzeroo who let our guys FINISH f***ing games heaven forbid. Those pitchers last night sucked, Ozzie would have pulled them too. That 05 pitching staff was on a roll that has rarely been seen in the playoffs. I have already posted the game logs and pitch counts about 28 times so I won't do it again, but those pitchers never gave Ozzie a chance to even think about pulling them. Would some managers have brought in the closer for the 9th on principle? Sure, and Ozzie deserves credit for avoiding that, but these aren't even comparable situations.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 10:53 PM) Royals fans are officially insane, at least the ones who use Twitter. Now they are incensed at Yost for not calling for the bunt. They wanted Duffy to bat and bunt. Had Duffy screwed up the bunt they'd have never forgiven Yost for having an AL pitcher bunt. Also, these are the same fans who want Yost fired immediately for his use of the bunt whenever he calls for it. The Royals should just name Frank White manager for next year so these fans shut the f*** up. KC got its ass handed to it tonight. Now it's 2-2 going into the Shields-Baumgarner matchup. I'll tell you one thing ... why is it so hard to get a pitcher to go more than 5 innings who is not named Baumgarner? You guys may despise Ozzie but I'll forever thank he and Coop for all those complete game outings from our starters in 05. The way this Series has developed, every pitch is seen as crucial and tonight's game especially had no flow because of this. I'm surprised they even let Vargas go more than 2 innings the way the pace of this game was going. I'm surprised they didn't pinch hit for him. It's 2-2 now with 2 of the next 3 in Kauffman. It's the Royals' fault if they can't win it. The AL was superior this year; no need for the Giants to win it again. I won't shed a tear for these Royals' fans, though. They are insane on Twitter. This bunt thing is an oxymoron. Yost can't win either way. One of these days you will give credit to the 05 Sox rotation for being so good, instead of just using it as excuse to praise Ozzie.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 10:40 PM) Still want to turn Miller into a WR? With Barrett on my fantasy team, today I learned his last 4 opponents were all ranked 90th or worse in defense, that puts his hot streak in perspective a little more. It's hard to stay awake, but the Pac 12 is so entertaining night in and night out.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 09:11 AM) Bears injury report Probable Fuller, Conte, Ratliff, Bennett Doubtful Bostic, Briggs out McCray Christian Jones getting the start over Khaseem Greene More like probably gonna get injured again

Is it time to start asking the question yet? Worst World Series champion, 2006 Cardinals or 2014 Royals?

One run game, bottom of the 9th, Posey, Panda, Pence vs. Holland.

The Royals don't value offense from their outfielders, so it makes sense they would claim him

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 01:11 PM) I feel bad for Renteria if they grab Maddon. Terrible way to lose your first managerial job Yeah, but he was never gonna be the manager of the next Cubs playoff team. He was always just a stopgap, hope he realized that when he took the job.

Royals win the World Series and the Cubs hire Joe Maddon? I think I'm done with you baseball.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 12:16 PM) Buster Olney thinks he ends up with Cubs It just makes too much sense

QUOTE (Greyone @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 11:44 AM) Tigers would be smart to give him a call. Nearly every team in baseball would be smart to give him a call, White Sox included.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 10:04 AM) http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-colum...cle3113391.html Did the royals reinvent a new paradigm shift....the anti-dunns? That author does a real good job in explaining that no, they didn't reinvent a new shift and their model is unsustainable for the most part. I don't think that was his point though.

It's funny to see the range of reactions about this from "experts". Some people freak out thinking that the entire New York public transportation system is now contaminated with Ebola, while others doubt this doctor will have even infected a single other person given the timeline.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 21, 2014 -> 03:23 PM) The ACC sucks. Once Beemer retires Va Tech turns into KSU again. The occasional FSU game will be exciting but a majority of those teams are terrible at football and always will be. Clemson is always a good football team, as long as it's not an important game.

That Ohio State loss to Virginia Tech keeps looking worse and worse, . What happened there? Barrett has been the next Braxton Miller since then

Your first place Nashville Predators

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 08:33 PM) Is Mike Carey ever right? He really makes me respect the job Mike Periera does on FOX

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 01:50 PM) I think the more important question is, "Did baseball ruin Adam Dunn?" Maybe he could have made it as a quarterback. From B-R: Career to date (may be incomplete) $112,695,000 I'd say baseball did him just fine.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 01:16 PM) The same still applies. Just because someone suggests a class, doesn't mean you have to take it. Again, that is your own damned fault. I'm sure most of those kids didn't care anyway. They weren't there to learn, they were there to play sports.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 01:07 PM) Only for White Sox fans. Ha Ha Ha. Honestly that's what I thought the article was gonna about. How Adam Dunn ruined baseball for some White Sox fans.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 11:47 AM) Why isn't Morse playing more? He suffered an oblique injury in September, finally recovering from it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 12:27 PM) Rawlings Sports ‏@RawlingsSports 2m2 minutes ago #RawlingsGoldGlove Award Finalists – AL CF – @RedSox @JackieBradleyJr, @whitesox @AdamSpankyEaton , @Orioles Adam Jones/ @SimplyAJ10 Bradley hit .198 this year and he still finished top 3 for a Gold Glove? Times are changing.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 10:20 AM) How does the kid/family deal with all of that unreported income? I'm sure the boosters have accountants that know how to handle such problems

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 10:04 AM) Maybe not the only school doing this, but I don't see this happening at Big Ten or PAC 12 schools, or other elite schools like ND or Vanderbilt. I also don't see it happening very many places with the large number of athletes it did here. Well it did happen at Minnesota, a Big Ten school. While it may not be going on at this grand of a scale, I'm sure not all "student"-athletes are earning their degrees at these big schools, that's not what they are there for.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 09:45 AM) "but they get a free education!" It sounds like they got what they paid for
