Inside-the-park is GOAT because the suspense builds during the play

To me the thing that's so great about the HR is how instantaneous it is. Take that Galarraga grand slam. One instant there's a pitch on the way, the next you know theres. 4 runs on the board even though the ball isn't out of the infield. And the POWER element of driving the ball. As Mr. Slave would say, "ooooh, Jesus Christ!"

That's why I like comeback KO's too.

Guy's getting his ass kicked the whole fight and then boom.

Outfielders robbing someone of a HR is more exciting than a HR. HRs happen too often for it to be super exciting.

Seriously, what"s EE's market at this point? Yanks are out, BoSox are still fighting to deal with the CBA luxury tax changes, Rangers have a lot of holes to fill. Can the Mariners afford him? Sure feels like he should have taken that 4/80 the Jays offered (off the table now).

The White Sox want Swanson included in a package for Sale. Good luck with that.

I'm still not sure what the Braves are doing.

Maybe a dumb question, but could a team offer $80mil and some mid level prospects to the Sox for Sale?

Thing is, with Kendrys signed, he'd have to play 1B, and we still need a couple of OFs and a bullpen. He'd have to sign for far less than he'd expected.

Rangers or O's then, I don't think it is that crazy for an NL team to offer a 3 year deal. Rockies could see what happens and then flip him.

Would have liked to have seen the Yankees go after Rich Hill. Instead we get Matt Holliday.

No need to die on that Hill when a Holliday is to be had.

It's bad and I'm sorry.

Two years of Pearce for the same price as one year of Holliday? Yes please.

4 years $62m for Melancon to Giants, 3 years $48m for Hill to Dodgers.

Interesting moves to kick off Winter Meetings.

I'd bet on the Giants and MadBum getting an extension done before opening day. Very curious how it will be structured with the option years to come.

Owner lady from Major League died. Too bad we don't get to joke that the Indians winning the WS was the cause, instead we get the privilege of dealing with a bunch of obnoxious "Cubby fans since birth".
