July 20, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 11:47 PM) I love Pablo Sandoval, such a joy to watch. The swinging the bat part or the running the bases part?
July 20, 201114 yr Jacoby Ellsbury is nice. That, my friends, is a leadoff hitter. One day before I die will have somebody of similar quality. Oh yeah, we took Lance Broadway instead of this guy. But, of course, hindsight. It's ok to fail because of this. Edited July 20, 201114 yr by Jordan4life

July 20, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 04:51 PM) No mention of TCQ. If they're close right now then it won't be Carlos. He won't be moved for a week or so at the earliest. KW won't throw in the towel yet.
July 21, 201114 yr You can't not laugh at this http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_leagu...urn=mlb-wp13298
July 21, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) The swinging the bat part or the running the bases part? Every bit of it. He seems to have unlimited range to his left at thirdbase, it's funny as hell seeing him make a play on a groundball seemingly hit right at the SS. He's just fun to watch in all facits of the game.
July 21, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) So the Rangers are pretty freaking awesome right now. Jinx!

July 21, 201114 yr Hideki Matsui hit his 500th career homerun yesterday. Of course, the first 332 came in Japan.

July 21, 201114 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 10:29 AM) Only 168 in America? I would have thought that number was much higher. If someone hit 21 homers for 8 straight seasons, that's 168. That's pretty solid pop.
July 21, 201114 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) If someone hit 21 homers for 8 straight seasons, that's 168. That's pretty solid pop. I just thought he was more of a 30 homer guy or something. I would have guesses that his MLB homers were in the mid-to-upper 200's.
July 22, 201114 yr The Angels are offering fans a way to become less interested in the actual game when in attendance: Baseball fans in Anaheim will like this news for sure. T-Mobile and the Los Angeles Angels have just announced a partnership that will allow fans to rent either a Samsung Galaxy Tab or T-Mobile G Slate during Los Angeles Angels games, The tablets, when rented will come pre-loaded with some goodies: - Free game-day program, optimized for viewing on the tablet — an instant $3 added value. - Free content from the Zinio magazine app, with the ability to read from a sampling of magazines during the game, including ESPN and many other popular magazines, drawing from Zinio’s library of more than 4,500 magazine titles. - Free T-Mobile TV (on the T-Mobile G-Slate only), providing content from popular TV shows. All regular free content, plus the “Select” package, regularly $4.99, is available as part of the game-day tablet rental. Pretty awesome! Hopefully, T-Mobile will be able to expand the program in the long run and bring it to many other venues. Just don't go rooting the tablets should you decide to go ahead and rent one during a game. link for additional details Edited July 22, 201114 yr by BigSqwert
July 22, 201114 yr If I had a Hall of Fame vote, I would withhold it merely for having had to be exposed to this article: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writ...amp;hpt=hp_bn10 God, I hate New Yorkers.

You pretty much have to be a d-bag to not vote for him. The guy is the very definition of a Hall of Famer.

Would you say he's the single most deserving hall of fame candidate in baseball history? If not, then he shouldn't be unanimous.

You don't vote as a pack, you vote as an individual. You have no idea what the rest of the voters are doing. You are supposed to decide as individuals on the merit of each person on your ballot. This idiotic idea of worrying about others votes it just an exercise in notice me journalism. That way you get to write something about being the person who stopped Derick Jeter from being unanimous, thus whoring yourself onto Jeter's legacy.
July 22, 201114 yr I'll say it - I wouldn't vote for him on his first ballot. If Joe DiMaggio, Jimmy Foxx and Roberto Alomar aren't first ballot Hall of Famers then neither is Jeter.
