DH. Thumbs down. I predict the no-pitch walk won't wreak a sixteenth of the mischief the DH has wreaked.

(Which reminds me: while Madison Bumgarner is on rehab assignment, he's been taking extra batting practise . . . the
way the Giants are going this year every extra stick helps!)

EA....

Rumor has it that MLB is toying with some bizarre overtime rule to allow a designated runner at second to start all extra innings.

To me , that is the beginning of the end.

The Giants have really broken hearts this year.  Dead last is never the place for a team of that caliber.  My Nephew is a big fan.

A head start???  Damn, even the strike didn't phase me like that would.

I quit watching Pro baseball for a LONG time over that strike (this years Astros team has changed that a little) but will be gone again when they start that crap!

Any chance they might want to send their catcher to Astros? :seeya:

The smart word is that baseball government thought about it . . . but let it go. Unlike government government,
once in awhile baseball government gets the a-ha! about prospective mischief before it can become mischief.

I'd rather watch that than a crowd of guys in masks trying to smother each other alive
while some poor sap in the middle of that mob tries to live long enough to throw something
that isn't even shaped like a ball.

But then I admit it's easier to watch the NFL---all you have to do is look at the daily police
blotter.  :tongue2:

Same here.  As a kid, I really liked it, as it blended athletism, defense, and skill.  Nowadays, it is a bunch of thugs being paid ungodly money for playground banter.

Never trust a sport that won't allow you to grab your balls.

I'd pick the Astros to win the whole thing this year. One really has to like their chances. Of course, a few other clubs are up there as well now, namely the Dodgers and Rockies.

The DH is an abomination.

And Madison Baumgarner can't come back fast enough, no matter where the Giants end up in the standings.  He's just flat out fun to watch.  Besides, it's an odd year so nobody expects much out of the Giants anyway.

They didn't get far in even-numbered last year (rousted in the NLDS), so we can put the odd-even thing
to bed. ;)

Hockey, is soccer on skates.
You mean it's improving? The last I looked, hockey was tag-team street brawling on skates.

Or, as TV Guide once put it to introduce the hockey portion of their fall sports preview,
"Good news for fight fans---the NHL is back."
