Baseball 2013 (1 Viewer)

Certainly bad news today for all of baseball. Both of these men were true giants in the sport and both will be greatly missed.

Atlanta has just traded for Justin Upton. That gives them both Upton brothers. It will either be a good deal where both brothers are happy and play well, or it will be a bust as both of these head-cases once again have problems with management. -- Al
 
Arod has been implicated in a clinic that was dispensing hgh. He has denied it and has retained a top attorney. Also named were Gio Gonzalez, Nelson Cruz, Melky and others. Yankees have issued a statement that wasn't supportive of Arod.

MLB is investigating.

Arod may be done for good. Forget HOF. That's gone for good.

This isn't good news for the Nats if Gio gets in trouble with this. -- Al
 
Gio has denied it so who knows where this goes. Arod was pretty vehement in his denials so maybe the whole thing is a fabrication. For their sakes, I hope so.
 
This current event in the whole doping/HGH issue for MLB has to be coming out now for some reason, maybe charges against the clinic doing the doping or something. But the way Arod has come out and gotten a top attorney makes me think there may be something to his denials. As for Arod and the Hall I seriously doubt it, the writers have long memories and the players will likely not vote for him since he isn't exactly the best team mate or so its said. But I would surely like to see him gone so the Yankees can find their next 3b player.

Arod ( Seattle fans have another name for him) may be gone if he can't play in 2013. It would be nice if the NYY would pay somebody to take this arrogangt whiner.
 
When I lived in the Seattle area they certainly had a lot of names for him. I too hope his hip has done him in and he is gone for good. We need a new less expensive player at 3rd even a minor league player to be named would be better than when we have... It time the them to begin rebuilding the team because several of these guys are getting on in years or like Warrior would say getting all the benes from AARP {sm4}. I am sorry to see guys like Jeter and Rivera fade away but its a young guys game and they need to become coaches to pass on all their knowledge.

I see where former Cy Young winner Brandon Webb has retired at age 33, victim of shoulder problems. Also the Cards Chris Carpenter is expected to miss 2013 because of continued nerve problems and may be finished, as well. Tough losses. Both are/were good pitchers. -- Al
 
Hey, all baseball fans. Only 3 to 5 days until the pitchers and catchers report! The O's and Nats report on the 12th. Thank goodness it's almost baseball time.:wink2:^&grin -- Al
 
Whoa! Just saw where Seattle is the verge of signing Felix Hernandez to a 7 year, $175 million contract, which would make King Felix the highest paid pitcher in baseball history. Why doesn't somebody just sign someone to a 20 year, billion dollar contract and get it over with? {eek3}:rolleyes2: -- Al
 
Amazing amount of cash for a pitcher. I like Felix but this maybe one of those deals people will regret someday. Good luck to Seattle!

Time for some baseball!!!!! with the NFL season in the books (and a good book it was):) and pitchers and catchers reporting to camp shortly it won't be long before the first pitch is tossed out!! I can only hope my O's can have another winning season like last year or better maybe win the AL East, but with the talent in all of the clubs it's going to be a tall order for anyone to win that division, so can't wait for the Spring ball to start, let's play ball!!!Sammy

p.s. I know it's hard to think baseball when some can't even open the front doors becuase of all the snow!!!
 
That's the best time to think about baseball Sammy, when the snow is on the ground.
 
I'm going on the record now with my 2013 WS prediction: Nats vs O's. ^&grin -- Al

It is too bad on both accounts, but especially for Carp, as he felt he had a chance to contribute one more time. Conventional wisdom says he will likely sit on the DL long-term, since he is due to collect about $12 million this year, playing or not. Still the best St. Louis pitcher since Gibson I would say.
