It was a pageant. <br /><br />But hey, MLB figured out something else they could sell? Can they really be making money off all this incredibly ugly shit? The ASG unis, and the "City Connect" nonsense?

But a guy who pitches once a week, against the weakest opponents, and bats .260 as a DH is not really doing himself any favors. The Yankees have tagged him pretty good. He's lucky he'll never play in the postseason as long as he's an Angel. Because it would expose him as an only pretty good pitcher and OK hitter who has decent power.<br /><br />Still think if he picked one or the other, he'd be better at whatever he picked. But you can't predict hypeball, Suzyn.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-57711855601907077912022-07-20T13:45:56.223-04:002022-07-20T13:45:56.223-04:00Hoss,

He shouldn't be the MVP. I agree. He's also not Babe Ruth. <br /><br />Look, they're just trying to sell the game that they destroyed, as you so perfectly elucidated in the post prior to this. <br /><br />It's a different world. Not a better one. I too get angry when hype trumps fact and history is ignored. But hate the game not the playa. <br /><br />When I was a kid I could name all the Presidents, in order, and all the capitols of the 50 States. In Georgia there's a guy running for the Senate who thinks there are 52 States. Hopefully he will lose but he's going to get at least 45% of the vote. <br /><br />The coronation of Ohtani as the greatest ball player ever is travesty. <br /><br />Maybe we can trade for him. <br /><br />Doug K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18127860664631924576noreply@blogger.com
