He's you're typical "Right Way" player. Him and Gomez have previous beef because Gomez looked at his dinger too long and showed disrespect.

@JasonLaCanfora: RT @SportsCenter: The 9 Astros starters tonight made $27,859,980 this season.

Jacoby Ellsbury made $21,142,857 with the Yankees. He's not starting.

McCann is in charge of all of baseball's rules. His toughest task is making sure the youths and latinos stay in line.

McCann has a haircut not at all dissimilar to neo-Nazi skinheads Coincidence or no? I'm just asking questions!!!

Enjoying the Archer commentary a lot. Nice to have the perspective of a young, smart, contemporary pitcher.
Can definitely see him doing colour when his career is over.

Archer is interesting to listen to but he definitely needs to get the verbal tics under control. I'd still rather listen to him inject a few "umms" into his analysis than hear anything Kruk has to say.

Please note the second one is a pitching phenom's first home run ever.

The sad part is that it wasn't even the Gomez one that was part of the greatest unwritten rules freakout. See the Travis Snider sucker punch.

Well of course on both points. He's got plenty of time to hone if he really wants to do that.

I wish we hadn't traded him. He'd look really good in our rotation right about now.

The only consolation if the Yankees win this is the twenty-minute fistfight between McCann and Yordano Ventura we'd get in the ALDS.

Hang Conger is positively lovable. He just sucks real bad as a catcher.

Ballplayers are the biggest pussies.

They get their loving feelings hurt because the opponent takes too long looking at a bomb. So they throw at the next guy.

Soccer players may flop for calls but at least they don't turn into bitches.

Who would the NL throw out there? Chris Carpenter's retired and McCann's AL now. None of us want to rely on Papelbon; you know he'd choke under the pressure.

It seems like it but they're most often the "enforcer" for the team given the position, so it fits

Montero seems like a super cool dude and I can personally attest that David Ross is mega nice and cool though
