Anyone happen to catch Noah Syndergaard calling Bryce Harper a Do***e on Instagram today?

I think I need to start writing a letter everyday to MLBN to have them start airing classic games...whether it's from 1980 or 2010, I don't care...just want to see some baseball here.



NBATV is a great example - just follow suit!

I already have the Blu-ray, free of commercials or a score ticker.

I love Naked Gun as much as the next guy (though I think the 2nd one is slightly better) but my goodness! That movie only has a very tangential connection to baseball.

I agree. Naked Gun is as much a baseball movie as Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Does the NFL Network air Ace Ventura Pet Detective?
These are probably the same kind of people who think Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

I thought this was amazing...unfortunately it doesn't appear to be true. I checked and he was 22nd in 2004, 15th, in 2007, 13th in 2008, and 11th in 2015. Unless I am misunderstanding you and you don't mean his finish and just that he received a vote to be in the top 10?

Okay...that makes sense. I wondered how common this is and was surprised in my short look around that it isn't. I looked at Bonds, Jr, Manny, and Chipper and none of them can claim the same thing. That's pretty impressive.

Oh boy, it's never good when a team is suing city government to get out of a lease. That can lead to some bad blood and make financing for a new stadium harder than you'd like.
