Yes, and the Diamondback announcers are the true opinions of the sport.





In reality, the Yankees are an iconic team for MLB. Then again, so are the BoSox, Cubs, Mets, and Dodgers. So, no biggie.

You see Loria!!! I said that firing Girardi would be a mistake. Who got a ring (yes I know not just because of him) and who got fired? Another Yankee asset I will envy Seriously 5 managers in 8 years of ownership. We're like the Redskins owner but with no payroll.

Being a Yankee fan, you know it will never be because of money that holds the team back from acquiring the biggest talent available

I wouldnt include the mets in that group; just that they have no history comparable to the other teams

They play in NY. Theyre automatically well known. Even if they play second fiddle to the Yanks.

They'd probably still be in Boston if the owners didn't suck.

Agreed, the one that said it (Grace) is not on any lists for amazing insight or intelligence, I was being sarcastic.

Seriously, 149 is a shitload of pitches, his arm is gonna feel like a jello tomorrow. It definitely wasn't a pretty no-hitter, but he got the job done.

Was that Shea comment supposed to be red?

As much as I will always love Shea, that place was a dump.

Shea was a major dump

And the Shake Shack burger, fries and a shake was good.

That was my only food for the game, the rest was beer.

When your team gets near to what the METS dealt with last year then you can bitch and moan. That said....OUCH....Pedroias is one of the players I respect. Sucks he got hurt.
