2012-2013 MLB Off-Season Thread

I would rather blame a system that can be easily fixed.

[Chewford]

I blame both.

If you know the consequences and can easily avoid them, you might as well.

Vazquez will be coming back in 2013 per MLB Network. Maybe the Marlins will sign him in an effort to win more games next year.

The Marlins didn't watch him pitch the other day

I also heard that Javy wants to join a contender. I don't think the Marlins meet that criteria right now.

[Cambridge]

I blame both.

The ban was because it was a second offence, if you are stupid enough to use after the first failed test I have no sympathy.

I also hate the attitude that it was only pot. Pot is a gateway drug, personal experience was that at least half of those I knew that smoked pot ended up trying something harder and several became regular users.

Does 'it was only coke' still work?

[Ramp]

Gateway drug my ass.

Coke is an issue. Marijuana shouldn't be.

(I realize it's against MLB rules and yada yada, not what I'm arguing here)

[HUGG]

Gateway drug is an excuse people use to absolve themselves from their own decisions.

[Miamarlin21]

Well I mean if he would have waited until he was called up this year, he would have been fine to smoke as much as he wanted to.

I wasn't being serious. I was doing a thing with Samson's "win more games" comment on LeBatard.

[Ramp]

Rafael Soriano to the Nats

[Chewford]

Earl Weaver

[HUGG]

I was stunned when I saw he died.



Mostly cause I thought he died years ago

Interesting tidbit in Barry Jackson's column.

Says that Fay Vincent believes if the Marlins doesn't spend more money that Selig & the players union will make life uncomfortable for Loria

I take that to mean we may be waiting for many years to see an All-Star Game as well as probably no more WBC games.

Thanks for being an asshole Loria
