Let it stay, for a while. It's not really hurting anything, is it?

For the record, I'm not saying that this thread should be closed. All I'm saying is that the baseball talk should be restricted to one or the other, so we don't have baseball talk going on in two threads (someone responded in this thread to something I said in the sports thread, which will obviously lead to some confusion if that continues).
The way I see it, we should either keep this thread and keep any and all baseball talk OUT of the sports thread, OR we could merge this one with the sports thread. As I think about it, though, I'd sort of like to keep this thread, since I think it will encourage much more active baseball discussion and keep out the shit heads who bitch and whine that they don't like baseball and therefore we should not be allowed to talk about it because Krig thinks there are too many brown people in MLB.
The only real drawback is that the sports thread will be reduced to Faith No More and Killbot talking about soccer every once in a while... but that isn't really a problem for us, so who gives a shit?
I guess my "vote" is for keeping this thread and effectively "banning" MLB talk from the sports thread.
Yeah, apparently those bugs (midges) are actually attracted to bug spray, so that's why the Indians didn't spray themselves while the Yankees fucking covered themselves in it. And apparently bug spray takes away your ability to hit and pitch.
I watched the last couple innings of that game. That's when I decided that Nick Markakis is officially dead to me. It's not like I liked him before that or anything, but now I refuse to recognize his continued existence.

Hello there
Ya I have an opinion I'd like to share. Either let people vote whether they want each and every thread you think should be locked or don't lock any threads at all.

Or you know... let the mod do his fucking job and lock the threads he thinks need locked... There's a reason he's a mod.

Or you know you could pull the dick out of your ass and drop the attitude you've been roaming around here with the last few days.

I say merge this. It's almost two months until the season actually starts. I doubt this will stay up on the first page, and someone will probably start a new baseball thread for whatever reason.
There's already a fantasy baseball thread, which could also be merged with this one.

Seeing that discussion in the Sports Thread has shifted to football, I'd say we've accomplished the criteria for keeping this thread.
So from this point on, ALL BASEBALL DISCUSSION IS TO BE LIMITED TO THIS THREAD. Thank you for your cooperation.

I've always thought Rowand was an overrated player. 60 mil for good defense and a sub 300 bat?Mathiäs;6940502 said:

Yeah, he makes his money off that catch he made a couple of years ago when he ran in to the wall. For some reason everyone thinks he's a great player now.

Yeah injuring yourself for one out is not something you should be rewarded for, even if it does mean he has passion

The Giants are giving Rowand $60 mil over how many years?

Hey, I'd take Manny over Rowand any day. Also Manny has a pretty decent arm in left that no one ever talks about.Spoken like a true Manny fan.
The way Kansas City is now I bet I could get a contract to pitch for them. They did have that one rookie pitcher last year (Banner? something like that) that looked good.
Looks like Schilling could be on the shelf for the upcoming season and is in dispute with the team whether or not to have surgery on shoulder. Well at least they have depth in Bucholz and Lester and this should pretty much guarantee the trade of Crisp (have J.Ellsbury anyway) for some more pitching.
