I would like to forget him too.

Sadly I can't, when I turn on the game every night
I don't understand the (sport) media's obsession with him. I'll be watching MLB channel, and there is always some sort of "breaking news regarding A-rod.

Breaking news...A-rod just [insert whatever he did here].

Must be an East Coast thing.

A vehement hate for him more like.

Most hated player ,on the most hated team.

I get what ya mean mean though, but I ask for an exemption from the anti a-rod ban, as I am a Yankee fan who has been forced to deal with his "0 for 4s", in multiple playoffs..

Ps: for a more through understanding of baseball, I really recommend moneyball the book. Great book.
Have the Blue Jays ever done good? Ever?

Default All-Star Game

I've never watched American Idol but the winner of that show sang the national anthem and stunk up the place with her own version in front of many honored veterans. You could see some of them cringing on the line.

When will baseball insist the song be presented the way it is suppose to be and stop the disgraceful renditions.

Tom Seaver threw out the first pitch so the show is making a comeback.

CC Sabathia is now in trouble:

Man, the yankees need to revise their stratagy. Stop relying on signing proven stars, and get a better damned farm system!

Or at least trade for young hot prospects, don't bother signing 30 somethings for long periods

Yankees had a great farm system. the last one to come out of it was Jeter, the rest were traded for aging stars, who burn the fans. ( edit: sorry, Robinson Cano is homegrown, and a hell of a player)

A-roid.....a lifetime ban please, I'd rather have a 12 year old playing third than him, will most likely hit better in the playoffs.

At this point, I am jealous of the Mets.

All the Yanks problems aside, they will still make the playoffs, but the fans know this is only the decline into mediocrity, like the '80s.

Become a Cardinals fan. We have fans literally all over the country.

We do pretty good....The last season I remember where I seriously thought we sucked was 2007 after everybody got traded off after the '06 Series win.

Well...the fans of the Jays even admit that they suck.

How did the Canadians get involved in MLB Baseball anyway? (No offense)
