AP source: MLB owners approve proposal to start 82-game season in July

[SU Nittany Tide]

Yep, but the very powerful players union won't go for it.

It's not going to effect the top end players much, but the decent fielding SS, hitting .195 making $4 mil per will end. that guy stands to lose a lot of money, but the reality his, he never should've been making that kind of money anyway.

I don't think this guy exists, but I get your point.

That used to be Jose Uribe...

Obviously, football at #1. I guess basketball at #2?

What other sport are you thinking might be over baseball? If you say soccer, don't even reply because I don't feel like calling you retarded.

Baseball is still number 2 with its regional following. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Maybe not to those exact numbers I laid out, but that guy exists. The point being, like every sports, there are MLB players getting paid more than they should be based on production.

You mean Juan Uribe?

 

[calsnowskier]

Fuck him. Hope he blows his arm out and never pitches again and dies broke in a drainage ditch on some dirt road and isn't found for weeks and nobody attends his funeral.

Get off the fence and take a stand.

I hate when posters here make wishywashy posts that are impossible to interpret where they stand.

When was the entire goal of a match to get a tie. Settling for a tie, while not exactly athletic, is better than actively playing a game trying to a tie such as MLS, Premiere League and the World Cup.

What the fuck is this post?

That soccer isn’t a sport. It’s one of the only “sports” in the world where the audience is tougher than the athletes on the field.

José Uribe - Wikipedia


His average was a little higher though...

Really?

you don’t remember Jose Uribe?

I was born in 1991.

And while I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable about the history of the game, I don't know every non great/very good player from before my time.

A faster paced game perfect for the internet, shorter games, hipper players having fun on Twitter, global appeal, far more athletic and exciting action, general decline in racism, and so on

Things change. Baseball is a 20th century game, basketball is more 21st century.

I seriously thought you were parodying this

I just meant a decent fielding light hitting shortstop hitting under 200 isn't going to be getting a contract for 4 mill.

Fair enough. I didn’t realize you were that young. He was the Giants starting SS for half a decade. But it was before you were born.

OOOOO...

bitch Blake Snell says he isn't playing unless he gets his full salary. "I want my money!"

It's worse. It's not just the money he's saying he would be 'risking his life' playing which is gayer than Liberace's hot tub

And if there is one thing you know...

So should the Rays expect a refund for the 10 or so starts he missed last year when he hurt himself moving furniture?
