Joe Maddon opts out of his contact with the Rays. Speculation abounds. LA perhaps? Sources say no but.... http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2014/10/24/7061211/joe-maddon-rays-manager-dodgers

I agree. Therefore, I see someone like Ted Cruz rising to the top for the republicans before it's all said and done. Their only hope is to really energize their base and hope that apathy on the left allows their nominee to be elected. Stranger things have happened.

That's one of the most ridiculous, stupid and idiotic "articles" I have ever read. I just ****** 3 minutes of my time on this thread.

Social issues are at the core of the republican base so if you abandon them, you are sure to lose....just like Romney did in 2012. What majority coalition is going to vote strictly on money, jobs and business issues? Isn't going to happen. Besides, how can you "stay completely out of social...

Yes. We call it the "World Series" because the winner remains unchallenged. So, if there's any other team that exists outside the USA who thinks they could whip the winner of MLB's tournament, I say let themselves be known and bring 'em on. So far, no one has so the name is appropriate.

I agree 100%. Harold Reynolds should stay in MLB-TV's studio to play the sidekick to Greg Amsinger along with Dan Plesac. He's not a good play-by-play analyst. Veducci reminds me of "Monte" from Major League. Everyone used to make fun of McCarver but the longer he's gone, the more I...

Oh boy, this again? I find it interesting that Euros in particular seem to be obsessed with this semantic argument. Americans, on the other hand, consider the name "football" to apply to our particular brand of the sport that goes by that name without any regard or concern for what we call...

Actually it would be sweet and ironic justice if the Royals lost the series on a bad call for this Cardinal fan but I would rather see the Royals win than keep this "Giants win every even year" bullshit going.

Of course you mean the John Birch Society but even more likely a KKK member. Anyone know if they have a chapter in France? :dunno:

Congrats to the Giants. They just took the series right away from us. No excuses....we got outplayed, outpitched and outmanaged. Them's the breaks! We'll be back next year. Our **** system is loaded with talent. Should be a great World Series.

The Royals sweep the O's out of the K today. Congratulations are in order as they make their way to their first World Series since 1985. It will be interesting to see what effect a significant layoff might have on them if the NLCS goes 7 games. I'm sure the nation will be rooting KC against...

You're a Dodger fan so I'll take a wild shot that it was someone from their roster. Post 1956? Hmmmm....Tommy Davis?

It's way early. All they have to do is make the playoffs and I think that's a dead-cinch lock in the inferior East for the Bruins.

My God this series between the Cardinals and Giants is one for the ages. These games are being decided by the thinnest of margins....the teams are about as evenly matched as you can get. Another classic battle to day at AT&T with the Giants pulling out a thrilling 5-4 walk-off win. Awesome...

Darlene Amaro is in the running for sure.

If this were my iPhone, I'd blame it on spellcheck. LOL....:D

I think we're talking semantics here. "Set" and "break" would be synonymous as the terms apply to records from my perspective. The record he surpassed was originally "set" by Art Nehf of the NY Giants back in 1924. He broke it as far as I'm concerned. Here's a website that uses both terms...

Ditto for me.

Been mulling it over and I can't answer it. I remember that Mike Coolbaugh died a couple of years back from a batted ball striking him but that was in the ***** leagues. Drawing a blank on this one.

The Royals are indeed fun to watch. They are playing classic Whitey-ball....quite a throwback. Teams don't know how to play against the speed game anymore. They looked locked-in....a really great story so far. We'll see how it ends. In the NL, a somewhat Pyrrhic victory for the...

Actually a full pack during the time that Stanhouse pitched but that was obviously a bit of an exaggeration but yes, you got it right Beaver! Ah yes....back in the day when the manager could get away with smoking in the dugout! :thumbsup: Would that it were! Love your answer but, alas, it...

Actually a full pack during the time that Stanhouse pitched but that was obviously a bit of an exaggeration but yes, you got it right Beaver! Ah yes....back in the day when the manager could get away with smoking in the dugout! :thumbsup:

That's four! Does no one want to guess why Don Stanhouse earned the moniker "Full Pack" when he pitched for the Orioles back in the 1970s? (Hint: It had to do with his manager, Earl Weaver).

I can't stand Gwyneth Paltrow. I was actually rooting for Michael Douglas in A Perfect ******.

That's three. Who's the 4th? :dunno:

Not Steve Stone but that's a good guess.

The fact that there are few, if any, time constraints on a baseball game is one of the things that creates a distinction between it and virtually every other major sport. There's no clock to limit performance....nine players play nine innings or, if needed, as many innings as it takes to...

Bob's got half of 'em.

Wainwright has been battling tendinitis all season. Getting this extra rest going into the NLCS is just what he needs. Hopefully, he'll be ready to go on Saturday.

The Blues got off to a less-than-stellar start last night at home against the Rangers. We have so many new faces that it's likely to take a while for things to come together. On the bright side, Tarasenko and Schwartz both look ready for breakout years. We'll be in the mix when it all shakes out.

All correct! :clap: More pertinent to the current playoffs, 2 questions: 1) The Baltimore Orioles had a relief pitcher back in the 1970s name Don Stanhouse. His nickname was "Full Pack". What was the origin of that nickname? 2) In 1971, the Orioles were the last major league team to...

Cub fans excluded from this one. Name the 4 streets that surround Wrigley Field. Bonus points for naming which side of the field each one borders.

I'll give the Giants all due respect but this even-year thing is a crock. This has occurred exactly twice so it's not like this has been going on for decades. Should be a great series....as evenly matched as you can get. I will say this however. If it comes down to a game 7, we ain't losing...

1-are you religious? Spiritual but abhorrent of organized religion 2-would you legalize prostitution?Yes 3-should condoms be required in pornos? No 4-do you support abortion? I'm pro-choice not pro-abortion. Badly worded question. 5-do you think ********* and other ***** should have the same...

My uncle left me his 1969 Jaguar XKE when he ****** away and I still have it garaged at my house. Some of my pals started calling me Jagger afterwards. Hence, my user name.

What? You don't like my thread, feller?? :******: http://board.freeones.com/showthread.php?785899-NHL-14-15-Thread Moderator....please merge these. Thanks!

1) How did these stashes wind up in the woods? As an adolescent, my friends and I used to hide our skin rags in the woods so our parents wouldn't find them. 2) Who would do their porn perusing in the woods and why? Couldn't do it at home (parents), couldn't do it in public (everybody else)...

Probably correct. The people who administrate this forum totally suck as far as I am concerned. It has changed dramatically over the past few years....much for the worse. This place has become a complete *** since they changed the rules. What a shame. Banning MBG for making "racist"...

What you personally think of MBG is irrelevant to the point of this thread so make up your own thread to celebrate. Otherwise, if you favor censorship and moderators ******* power then you can go fuck yourself, Johnny. This is bullshit and you know it. Still waiting for an answer from...

This place is turning into a dictatorship. Some totally out-of-bounds moderator doesn't like what somebody says about him so the thread gets taken down and the OP gets ******. Censorship! I want an explanation from someone or you can ban me too. If that's the way this place is going to be...

Wow. Great job. What row and seat number was Durante sitting in? LOL....

Not that I am aware of. He was lights out in his last start. I'll give him a hall pass for last night. He just wasn't on his game pitching-wise but the throwing error he made to allow a run to score was inexcusable. Like a rookie mistake....very atypical. I'm not worried about Waino...

Results of games in the preseason are meaningless. Nobody shows their playbook until the games actually count. I do agree with you about Cutler though....never did understand why the Bears coveted him so much. He's a crybaby and a quitter. Don't like him.

I consider the all-time single-season home run record to be held by Roger Maris when he hit 61 of them in 1961 (without steroids). Against whom did he hit #61 and for whom did he pitch?

Cy Young award winners almost never win the title unanimously so don't be dissing Warren Spahn because he didn't sweep the ballot, my friend. He won the award fair and square. Sandy Koufax in the mid-60s was arguably the greatest pitcher who ever took the mound. He was quite nearly...

Thanks for the rep. Please help me in my efforts to rid the board of this bigot once and for all. He's a pariah who somehow obtained the unearned status of moderator. He should be stripped of that title. Please send messages to Petra, Anders and any other administrators or moderators you...

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. 1937 was the year. Incredible it's been that long!

Stan Musial is another terrific guess. Unfortunately, also incorrect. I'll give y'all a hint though. Like Musial, he was a St. Louis Cardinal and was the NL MVP the same year he won the triple crown. You have to be a serious baseball aficionado to get this one.

Good guess but not Gary Sheffield.

Thanks for the rep. I am so sick of his ****. He has no business being a moderator. He's a ******** to this forum and to humanity.
