Even though this community has kind of died except for shiranami and myself, I thought this was both interesting and awesome:

A Month at the Races [23 Sep 2005|09:04pm]

heavenonmymind

As the mod, I'm going to try to start posting monthly updates about MLB in general; what's happening, who's in trouble, who's on fire, who's sucking, etc., etc. So, welcome to the first edition!

September: A Month at the RacesCollapse )

So, everyone's been talking about awards. Lots of east/west coast bias is causing everyone to completely lose it and scream at one another about Cy Young, MVP, Manager of the Year, etc. It really depends upon who your team is, because that will, for the most part, decide who you think deserves certain awards. Quite Frankly is pleased to bring you the rundown of stats for the two main awards for both leagues in convenient, easy-to-scream-about form so that you can get in on the fun.

The Baseball Writer's Association has gone mad...Collapse )

Weekends can be long if you haven't got much to do, so I'm pleased to bring you some entertaining, disheartening, exciting, saddening, etc...baseball reading to help you pass the time.

Required ReadingCollapse )

Andddd...there are a few awards that we have some control over, so why not go out and vote?

It's Your Civic DutyCollapse )

Just a note to everyone: there are about three members who have posted here and only a few more who've commented. I don't want to be a Nazi, but...if you're going to be a member, say something every once in a while. That's the point, isn't it? O_O

It was bound to happen anyway.

Thoughts? Opinions? Think they shoulda kept him? Or were they right for letting him go?

I think it was the right thing to do. Of course it sucks to lose your job, but he's been getting so much negative publicity anyway and his performance on the field just seemed to worsen as time passed.

Cy Young [10 Sep 2005|04:18pm]

heavenonmymind

So, everyone (at least over here in the N.L.) has been constantly talking about the Cy Young award and who it ought to go to. By far, the three biggest names have been:

  • Chris Carpenter (21-4) STL

ERA: 2.21   G: 29   CG: 7   IP: 220.0   H: 168   R: 59   ER: 54   HR: 15   BB: 45   SO: 198

 

  • Dontrelle Willis (20-8) FLA

ERA: 2.52   G: 29   CG: 6   IP: 200.1   H: 178   R: 61   ER: 56   HR: 8     BB: 46    SO: 137

 

  • Roger Clemens (11-7) HOU

ERA: 1.78   G: 29   CG: 1   IP: 192.1   H: 129   R: 43   ER: 38   HR: 10   BB: 56    SO: 177

Who do you think should get the Cy?

The Big One [19 Aug 2005|05:40pm]

heavenonmymind

So, I thought I would go ahead and put the big one out there, the one that no one can seem to quit talking and arguing about: steroids.

Tell me how you feel about MLB player usage, penalties, Selig, Raffy, Bonds, McGwire, etc. You name it. Just talk.

okay, i'm not sure if this belongs in this community because it isn't baseball-specific (and i'm sorry if it doesn't, i'll delete the post just let me know) but how do you guys feel about ESPN Hollywood, that new show on espn2? i personally don't really like it, that's why i like sports, they have nothing to do with hollywood. thoughts?

Okay I have a gripe.

How can the Cubs (who were on an 8 game loosing streak) get swept by the Reds and then win 3-4 against my beloved Cardinals?

Kenny Rogers and the camera man incident: was treated unfairly, deserved what he got, or should have been punished more harshly, and why?
