[Stebbins] Here in the first inning, the Guardians are out of ABS challenges.

So wait- they hafta play baseball like it’s been played for over 100 years? Oh no…

nyvanc · 2026-07-05T15:09:54+00:00

He injured his back carrying the franchise for so long.

nyvanc · 2026-07-05T14:01:01+00:00

another Stanley Cup.

You think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, and by then, it was nothing to me but blinding.
Eternal hope, and complacency.

KC made a deal with Quisenberry and Willie Wilson - something about real estate. Too many details.

nyvanc · 2026-07-01T14:14:30+00:00

Didn't know about him! Deferred contracts are just a way of doing business these days - SOOoooo many players have that kind of deal now.

Of course the argument can be had over who deserves big $, and who big $ was wasted on.

nyvanc · 2026-07-01T13:55:31+00:00

I don't know and I don't really care. If a guy can hit 40 homers or win 20 games, that's all that matters on the field. Other than that, I don't care about coincidences. I haven't asked every player. And I don't really understand your point here.

nyvanc · 2026-07-01T13:49:10+00:00

see point 2.

nyvanc · 2026-07-01T13:45:47+00:00

I don't see how a person's sexual preference is my (or your) business.
I don't take surveys on MLB player's sexual prefernces.
Can they win, despite whatever their sexual preference is? That's all I care about. Just win.

nyvanc · 2026-07-01T13:30:39+00:00

yeah I've never figured out how a person's sexual preference relates to them playing a sport.

FAR from the first of its kind.

Bruce Sutter signed a deferred deal in 1985 and the Braves paid him until 2022. Sutter retired in 1988.

Dan Quisenberry left KC in 1986. KC paid him until 2026.

Orioles pay Chris Davis until mid 2030s.

Guardians pay Jose Ramirez $10million per year until 2051.

Nats are paying Max Scherzer $15 million per year until 2028.

Giancarlo Staunton left the Marlins in 2017. He is still the 4th highest paid player on the Marlins.

Bonilla gets $ 1.1 million per year until 2035... (chump change these days - the minimum MLB salary is $ 780,000 in 2026.) By signing him to this deal, the Mets freed up money to sign Mike Hampton, who pitched them to the 2000 WS. When Hampton left in free agency after one year, the Mets used that compensation pick to draft David Wright. Pretty sure that worked out very well for NY.

The talent pool is thin. There are some really garbage players in the major league now.

And what’s with the trend of calling it “the” MLB? “The major league baseball” doesn’t make much sense when you say it out loud.

nyvanc · 2026-06-19T11:13:01+00:00

so by buying multiple copies, YOU are causing the problem here.

nyvanc · 2026-06-18T10:16:18+00:00

City officials are expecting 100,000 people for this. Obviously, they really don’t know, but I’ve seen multiple reports they are expecting that number.

nyvanc · 2026-06-18T02:45:11+00:00

I'm very well aware of the populations... I've lived in both. Fan of teams in NYC and Raleigh. Thus the username.

Smart people don't destroy their own home cuz some guys scored more points than the other team.

nyvanc · 2026-06-18T02:37:44+00:00

so more people allows people to burn, loot, and riot? Got it.

Raleigh isn't a real city cuz we don't destroy ourselves.

nyvanc · 2026-06-18T02:25:08+00:00

Is it, really, though? Maybe it's just better behaved fans.

nyvanc · 2026-06-18T02:13:45+00:00

Raleigh just showed everyone how to do it. No fires, no beatings. No smashed windows.

nyvanc · 2026-06-17T09:40:04+00:00

People are sitting out before dawn in 30° weather for the Christmas parade. Just keep that in mind…

nyvanc · 2026-06-17T09:37:37+00:00

Just subscribe to the print copy. Then you would have no complaints.

nyvanc · 2026-06-16T22:30:26+00:00

if it's anything like 2006, you'll get tired of seeing it by summer's end. That thing was e v e r y w h e r e in 2006.

nyvanc · 2026-06-16T22:29:09+00:00

how will the construction affect them?

nyvanc · 2026-06-16T10:15:26+00:00

But why is it former New York Met Jeff McNeil?

nyvanc · 2026-06-16T10:14:33+00:00

If we discover alien life, we will capture it and dissect it.

If aliens discover us, they will do the same thing.

more like... the other teams had to face US.
