Re: MLB Off-Topic
Whoa, let's at least be a bit more clear about what they are "announcing."
They are simply announcing it as their preferred site to move to. It is nothing official or final.
We've seen same exact thing go wrong badly very recently with the A's.Comment

Re: MLB Off-Topic
Verducci has a pretty lengthy feature on Jeter and the Marlins.
Most of it is standard, just saying the media has been dramatizing things and fans are running with it. Jeter being a robot makes it kinda funny:
On if signing Jake Arrieta and Yu Darvish before the trades made them a contender: "No. They still wouldn't have won. So you just dig a bigger hole, and eventually you have to get out of it. That's a lot of work."
On not going to the Winter Meetings: he's the CEO and doesn't work trades himself, the president of baseball operations and his team were there.
On firing the scout with cancer: Most contracts run out at the end of October, most renewals are sent at the end of September. They didn't get control of the team until early October, and then they were going to let him heal before they let him know but he kept calling worried that he wouldn't be renewed so that's how he found out.
On why he fired the special assistants to David Samson (long time employees people were upset at them getting rid of): David Samson isn't even there anymore.
Barry Jackson (Miami reporter) tweeted that Jeter is lying about stuff like not wanting to trade Stanton and not getting a profitability bonus. I don't know about the bonus, but Jeter doesn't really say in the article that he doesn't want to trade him, he says the plan was that he's on the team. The Knicks had the same plan for Melo and traded him a day later. That's just sports. I dunno. Interesting to see for sure.Originally posted by G PericoComment

Re: MLB Off-Topic
The fact Jeter has been blamed for everything is evidence enough that the media has overblown the Marlins situation.
But good piece.

Re: MLB Off-Topic
I didn't realize how much people hated the Yankees until Jeter got involved with the Marlins. Like I knew we were hated, but when a dude who played for the team and was widely respected throughout the league gets all this as a 4% owner, I'm just like wow. It'd be like Nets fans throwing copies of the Blueprint on the floor at the Barclays Center to get at Jay-Z when he owned like 2% of the team lol. It'll be fun to watch develop.
He was doing an interview on Kay's show, he's still a boring interview. He says he won't be at the game when the Marlins visit Yankee Stadium.Last edited by DieHardYankee26; 02-09-2018, 06:20 PM.Originally posted by G PericoComment

Re: MLB Off-Topic
That's why you hand over a gun this way:
R.I.P. Cesar Quintero.
EDIT: ubernoob is right, actually... I thought this was the primary way, second way being barrel face-down with handle in direction of recipient. Apparently that may be the primary way (of course, having unloaded the weapon as well). Still, however it happened in the exchange that ended up killing somebody, I doubt any of these measures were taken.
For Perez's sake, let's hope this was only an accident.Last edited by Blzer; 02-11-2018, 04:50 AM.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment
