NJTank Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 My gut tells me he may have directed at the opposing pitcher, who was starting against the Jays that day. I think maybe a small suspension 2-3 Games is coming for Mr. Escobar. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSSdesigns Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Escobar wrote your a ? Seriously? Thats just wrong. That's my problem (along with everyone else) with all of them.

They need to set a precedent.

CubsFanBudMan Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Truly, baseball's been pretty mediocre since the 90s. There isn't one WS champion from 2001-2012 that will be looked upon with the fondness that the Yankee dynasties have. The 96-2000 Yankees are the last dominant baseball team. The 90s Braves were dominant, but only won one championship. No one's going to look back at the 2005 White Sox or 2006 Cardinals and think "Yeah, that's one of the best teams we've ever seen". World Series championships really aren't what they used to be.I'm all for the 2nd Wild Card. If it keeps more people talking about baseball past NFL training camp, it's good for business. The last thing you want to do is take on some "elitist" status, minimize playoff berths, and eliminate 90% of the fan base by July.Only American League team other than the '27 Yankees to go wire-to-wire best record in the AL and win the World Series. They didn't have a murder's row lineup, and they weren't able to make it back to the playoffs with more talent the next year, but that team was absolutely dominant. But I guess when the national (and local) media spends the season igoring them, then only mentioning them to chide fans for not going to games, then forecasting an epic collapse, followed by pouting because they knocked out the precious Red Sox, it's easy to see why fans across the country didn't realize how great that team was. So you can say that there is no romantic attachment to the team because it wasn't a dynasty, and that's legit, but it's silly to say that World Series aren't what they used to be. It's like people arguing that basketball sucked after Jordan retired, as if the Spurs had to beat the Washington Generals on their way to four titles. And really, those Yankees teams are only lauded to that extent because it was the Yankees. If, say, the Twins had won four titles in that decade, the media would treat them... much the way they treated the Spurs - they are boring because they're not a big market team.Co-sign, and I'll throw in four complete ALCS games in a row after a Game 1 loss. And then of course a World Series sweep. They were no dynasty, but as far as dominant teams in a single season go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
