keppieboy gave Respect for your Comment in Joe Mauer has apparently agreed to a 10-year contract with the Twins (Or maybe he hasn't) | 2/1/10

“ The sad part is... What will this do to the Twins down the line? Will it eat up the bulk of their player budget for future great players who may come up through the system? ”

“ This is very interesting. The kind of moves contenders usually make. I don't think there is anyone who thinks of the Leafs as serious Cup contenders.

It also is a curious move for the Flames. Who ARE contenders. But have been... ”

“ Big time college football can be considered professional. After all, the colleges are just a minor league for the NFL because they are too cheap to fund their own. ”

ataqwx gave Respect for your Comment in Did the 00's have more parity than dynasty? | 1/30/10

“ There was no parity in MLB. It was pretty much the same 8 teams in contention every year in the '00's with the occasional team that happened to catch lightning in a bottle.

Hard to judge parity in the NHL. So many teams make the playoffs and the regular season is so... ”

“ And therein lies the problem. I don't have those answers. But for the time being, I think the worse of two evils is to allow people to suckle at the public teat for their entire lives. ”

“ No, it won't happen. But if they were smart, they would distance themselves as far from it as possible. They may take a little financial hit but that is not where the bulk of their fund raising comes from. In fact, the biggest political contributors give to both dems and... ”

Bronco9 gave Respect for your Comment in Ernie Banks wants to help Sosa come clean | 1/27/10

“ I don't see what good "coming clean" will do for him. There are too many people (especially sportswriters) who have already made up their minds regarding everything. Nothing he does will change it. ”

Bronco9 gave Respect for your Comment in Andre Dawson will be joining Gary Carter in the Expos wing of the Hall of Fame | 1/27/10

“ This was so obviously the right choice. And was a no brainer no doubt about it decision. He came up with the Expos and became a well known player with the Expos. It's not like he was a nobody when he signed with the Cubs. He had been in the league for more than 10 years... ”

Pat gave Respect for your Comment in Andre Dawson will be joining Gary Carter in the Expos wing of the Hall of Fame | 1/27/10

“ To be clear... When Boggs signed a free agent deal with the Rays, there was clause in the contract that said if he was elected to the Hall of Fame he would go in as a Devil Ray.

And while Pat occasionally reads as if he is not playing with a full deck, I am forced to... ”

BluDevil gave Respect for your Comment in Team USA is preparing nicely for the World Cup. Just kidding, they lost 3-1 to Honduras. | 1/26/10

“ people said that not only would the USA be average going into the 2002 World Cup, but that they would be lucky to not finish last in a group with top ranked Portugal, Poland and the home team, S Korea.

Well, a win over Portugal and a tie with Korea was enough to send them... ”

nk1956 gave Respect for your Comment in Target Field | 1/24/10

“ I think it is fan-effing-tastic that there is one less dome in the Majors. I've been to a game in the HHH Metrodome. The worst place to see a game in the majors.

And kudos to the Twins for not getting one of those horrid retractable roofs... Or Half Domes. ”

Further... When Perry did it, it was completely in violation of the... ”

“ Actually, no team has won the World Series with a losing record.

The worst record for a pennant winning team was the 1973 Mets who were 82-79.
The worst record for a World Series winning team was the 2006 Cardinals who were 83-78.

For the record, the 1987... ”

“ Because you are a Yankee fan, you are blind to what the Yankee money advantage does to the rest of MLB. It creates a situation where other owners just WONT spend even if they could. Because any attempt to out spend the Yankees would fail. That is how much they have. How is... ”

Let me say it differently.... People have different values for things. One person might see someone run a time of 120 seconds and think, "That's GREAT!" but another will look at that... ”
