MVP race related. hey think you've read the worst sports article ever? you haven't. until now. I swear this is even worse than that fucking rick reilly piece directed at jetes's unborn scion

was surprised to learn/realize giancarlo only has 2 years on his contract. he's still so young it's just bizarre imagining him a free agent in a couple years

but when i was looking at cot's i was reminded of that 2006 season where the marlins spent less than $15 million

3 hitters making the league minimum combined for 15 WAR

almost a third of the salary tied up in dontrelle willis

only other player making 7 figures was "brian" "moehler"

what a time to be alive

you guys don't deserve Trout, Trout is the best, Trout will be the best, Stanton will be great obviously, but Trout is Trout. TROUT.

Wouldn't take this seriously--the unfairness is obvious--but it's interesting. (John Dewan, not James.)

BEEOK THIS IS YOUR MOMENT

IIRC Bum is the world's #2 after Clayton Keyshawn.

and rightfully so because kershaw is stone cold perfection

A friend attended the BBWAA dinner Saturday night; Koufax spoke after being honored for the 50th anniv of his perfect game. Mike Trout was absent w/ stomach flu.

Bud and Sandy on the dais
