    MLB: when will mlb stop the bench clearing brawls?

    I don't know. Maldonado's shot on Snyder was a pretty damn good one. Funny two that the two Pirates most involved in the brawl, Martin and Snider both grew up playing hockey. Russ Martin is ALWAYS looking to fight

    MLB: when will mlb stop the bench clearing brawls?

    In basketball and football you are always right up next to each other and fans have no idea what is said 95% of the time. In baseball you are normally separated with the exception of the catcher and the hitter so when something does go down it looks a lot worse than it really is.

    MLB: when will mlb stop the bench clearing brawls?

    Cole didn't "walk away" his teammates got between him and Gomez because he is the future of the franchise and that's what they are supposed to do. As for baseball players being thin skinned? I would say no more than any other sport, there is just rairly situations where you are close enough to...

    I doubt the Cubs are a realistic option unless they want to overpay. It will likely be a contending team. I was lukewarm on the Heller hire. I would have liked to have seen them get a younger guy with ties to Florida or California. The main issue he's going to run into is the athletic...

    Iowa State Baseball

    The main issue any baseball alum has is that nobody was ever approached to save the program. Minnesota floated out the possiblility of eliminating a couple of sports the next year and donors stepped up to make sure that wouldn't have to happen.

    130 years of having a team of 35-25 people builds a pretty strong network. Look at any listing of the current boosters or lettwinners club members and baseball is probably only exceeded by baseball. Many of these guys go on to be very successful.

    I doubt the Mets are realistically in the mix, but there were 22 teams at his workout yesterday This is the biggsest excuse. When you play in a conference that HAS southern teams it is actually an advantage. They have to come play in the cold and HATE it and you get to go down to play there...

    You could just build it as part of the expansion. I can't remember where it was but they had the baseball stadium literally connected to the football stadium.

    Ideally someone would build a highly visible stadium in town on private property and lease it to the team cheap. The stadium could also be used to draw a Northwoods league team or maybe a Midwest League team in the summers. and $20million would build one hell of a stadium if that's what Pollard...

    Title 9 was not ever and is not an issue for baseball. At the time that they cut the program both Eustachey and McCarney got raises and the school lost money on a recent bowl game trip. Van de Velde, who would rather slash than pick up a phone and try to raise money decided they needed to cut...

    As someone who played there the last two years I would say that Cap Timm (the field) really had no "Prime". It was kind of an embarassment. I will post some pics tonight though.

    Lebron's New Teammate

    What I find funny is with Hamilton making the NBA it just shoots another hole in "McDermott's teams weren't talented" theory. So, if he obviously had talent, what was the problem? Only one other place to look.

    This HAS to be the worst first announcement yet, right? They must be banking on a big Saturday headliner similar to Wu Tang last year, but bigger... Maybe Outkast? Pearl Jam?

    New Court Design for Hilton

    I like 2 and 3. I absolutely hate that bird head logo and don't want to see it prominantly displayed anywhere, especially on the court.

    Irving Pic Holding Stop Sign At Riot

    I can't blame the police at all, especially if he was shown to be responsible for one of the light poles. Honestly, I hope anyone that is shown to be in the crowd, especially the crowd throwing bottles and cans gets SOME kind of charge. By being there they were contributing to the problem

    How to get recruits - The Bag Man

    Well, they did make a point to say that those in Agriculture have the most cash to divy out... I am sure it goes on to some extent here but that immediately made me think Texas A&M
