Guru, I also think you have to give Law credit for this, not everyone would have the guts to walk into a buzzsaw like this knowing full well what is coming.... Bob (St. Louis) I heard you on the local ESPN radio station and was appalled at your treatment. Though most everyone in STL is disappointed that one of the Cards didn't win and few ...

Kyle (Austin) YOU didn't put (player on team I root for) on the ballot for (award said player was eligible to win), probably because YOU are a stooge for ("rival" of team I root for, or team of guy you put in my team's players space, or the Yankees/Red Sox), and/or a(n) (idiot, dunce, moron, nerd)! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE ...

[quote user="brewguru"] [quote user="Einsteinhood"][quote user="brewguru"] I agree on the wins thing, but I think it's ridiculous that any pitchers other than LIncecum, Wainright and Carpenter were named on any ballots.

[quote user="radio silence"]  Wow, that means a lot coming from you, Einstein. Aren't you usually guarded on prospects? So, it sounds like Braddock is special in that case. [/quote] Yeah, I usually am guarded on them. His stuff is amazing, induces TONS of swings and misses and he's taken a HUGE step forward on the ...

[quote user="radio silence"] [quote user="Einsteinhood"] God help me, but I actually agree (at least somewhat) with fanx. I'm not saying that he would be a sure thing coming up out of the pen, or that they should do it, but I do think there is a pretty damn good chance that if he were called up to open next year at MLB, ...

What the Carpenter Travesty means for baseball. My favorite: Finally, and most frighteningly, it means that this whole new breed of fan is going to spring up everywhere. This is a breed of fan that, when they watch a game, they have to think about it and try to figure it out. They go home and, instead of watching Web Gems of ...

[quote user="radio silence"] [quote user="brewerfanx1"] Braddock is ready now to be a MLB relief pitcher.  .[/quote]  No way. The kid doesn't even have 20 innings in AA, and you're calling him ready for the MLB? [/quote] God help me, but I actually agree (at least somewhat) with fanx. I'm not saying ...

[quote user="TheEraser"] [quote user="Einsteinhood"] [quote user="TheEraser"] [quote user="Einsteinhood"]  The reaction to the Cy voting is just depressing. I forget how far we have to go sometimes, because the people around here tend to be smarter than the average bear. Then I look out on the ...

[quote user="radio silence"] [quote user="yountnstarr"] Draft caps would benefit smaller market teams(Boras, etc. couldn't scare teams away),[/quote]  I disagree.
