SOSH is a brilliant forum but I never got around to joining. Like here I read the forums but don't have the nuts to join and contribute. I decided to join here because of the season, but I reckon come April i'll join SOSH.
There's a big difference, I break it down all the time how the Red Sox have "godfathered" contracts of players who come through our system, trades early in careers, etc. High payroll for the Yankees is all signings for the vast majority of it, and next to nil of their high payrolls are developed in the Yankee system.
No clue but my mate just named his son after Joe Carter... Joseph Carter Williston
Part of the reason he had bad knees is fecking DiMaggio took him out and tore on his knees out, few players ever have been as talented as the Mick, one of the most talented players ever. Have more repsect for Gehrig than just about any other athlete, his speech was one of the greatest moments in the history of sport.
I always make this arguement. How can he not be with those batting numbers and being a good pitcher.
I love these types of articles for some reason.
Can be said about most team sports to be fairAnybody bought one of the new baseball games for this season yet? I have MLB 09 The Show on order from Canada, dispatched yesterday
Great article that, one thing I like about baseball is all the different types of players there can be, people who don't watch it just assume its a bunch of blokes hitting a ball but a team full of HR hitters would come nowhere.
2K sports upped their ante, 2008 was a quality game... after EA Sports lost their MLB rights i've gone 2K and haven't been dissapointed over the years.Anybody bought one of the new baseball games for this season yet? I have MLB 09 The Show on order from Canada, dispatched yesterday

Have you played The Show versions though? I have 07 and 08, tried the 09 demo last week and instantly went and ordered it online. 2K is supposedly not a scratch on The Show, I can only take what I read from reviews and forums though as I have never played 2K's version.
We're on the opposite end, i've not yet played the show, hell I even played the bigs
He probably got bummed by some hairy man in a Dodgers cap.
So odd that just in 2006 some would say they were the biggest threat to claiming the wild card from us or the Yankees... now Tampa are AL Champs, Baltimore are developing... just sad.My poor Blue Jays are destined for 5th in the AL East...
Alot of people were hooked by it, it's the fans that came after the World Series, the pink hats if you will, that made me sick.
It's going to be an tri-annual thing, really just to keep International baseball existing after the threat (And eventual expulsion) of the Olympics tournament.I shamelessly have a preference for the White Sox after watching Field of Dreams all those years ago. I even went as far as to purchase home pin stripes, albeit I cocked up royal ordering a 'large', forgetting I was ordering from America. You could fit 3 of me in it
Anyway, I have subscribed to ESPN so I can watch some baseball again this season. I see tonight there are some 'World baseball classic' games being played, which I won't be watching because there's good football on including our own game at Fulham. But what is this, is it like the World Cup of baseball? Is it an annual contest?
Really?
I know its really disappointing those 2 got me in to basebal a few years ago.Edit: It seems that they will still be showing baseball but they won't have the studio show. Not the worst news ever but it does mean no more Johnny and JC.
I do, care for a league?
