Poor Killer

Within and hour and 15 minutes he’s 3 posts down the FP. Guess thats what happens when you flee the coop.

You know what would be awesome? If DRB started every morning posting legitimately interesting content, then proceed to railroad it off the front page as soon as possible with recap posts from spring training...

… and content-free posts such as official player photos that any other ordinary poster wouldn’t waste more than a fanshot on.

I don’t understand the allure of reading DRB only to find things to complain about. If you want to be active part of the community and from time to time feel there is a clever quip or concern to express thats one thing, but there needs to be a value added element of a user too.

No need to apologize. I think I understand your frustration.

I didn’t realize at the time that Jason and Steve had posted, somewhat inexorably, a minute apart from each other, otherwise I would have waited a few more hours.

Plus, I got very excited when I saw the picture. Who could blame me?

Why the complaining?

I can’t believe all the complaints about this post. Doesn’t Luke Scott’s facial hair deserve a full front page display? I’ve spent most of the afternoon trying to figure out whether this represents a horrible accident with a razor, or whether he was actually aiming for this look.

This is kind of important
According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, MLB will announce expanded playoffs on Thursday.
It’s about time. MLB commissioner Bud Selig pushed for expanded playoffs to begin this season, but the matter was held up for weeks in order to figure out scheduling. Under the terms of the new collective bargaining agreement, there will two wild card teams in each league instead of one. The two wild cards will then play each other in a one-game playoff, with the winner advancing to the Division Series.

this really gives a huge advantage to the team with the best record (whom I assume will play the winner of this WC playoff)

WC teams will most likely have to use their best starter available which means he wouldn’t be able to pitch game 1. This could mean that these wild card teams could be forced into pitching their #1 and #2 starters the last game of the season and the WC play in game considering very rarely are the WC teams locks.

This.

With the ALW going down to Texas/LA and the ALE going to New York/Boston/Tampa Bay, the cakewalk that is the ALC for the Tigers should make them the favorites just based on the facts there’s next to 0% chance they’ll have to play the WC playin game. While also giving them the best shot to have the best record in the AL to play the WC winner.

Getting in gives you the best odds.

No other team is a real lock for the divisional lead.

This guy is such a character!
“I got to see a priceless thing driving back to my apartment,” Scott said. “I see all the Boston fans walking around, and I mean they were crying crocodile tears. People were like this, walking side by side.”

Wow..His Take on Red Sox Fans

Just their arrogance," Scott said. “The fans come in and they take over the city. They’re ruthless. They’re vulgar. They cause trouble. They talk about your family. Swear at you. Who likes that? When people do that, it just gives you more incentive to beat them. Then when things like [the last game of last season] happen, you celebrate even more. You go to St. Louis — classiest fans in the game. You do well, there’s no vulgarity. You know what? You don’t wish them bad.”

“Everybody’s giving high-fives, then all of a sudden [Longoria] homers,” Scott said. “Everybody’s in the clubhouse and it’s like, Bam! And we’re like, ‘Go home Boston! Pack your bags. See you next year.’”
