Was that the worst call in NFL history?
I'm not saying this wasn't a horrible call, however, I think it has the perfect storm of opportunity to get the most press ever. 1. It was a Monday night game. 2. It was the Packers. 3. It was on the final play. 4. It had replacement refs. There have been some really bad calls before that no... -

Bryce Harper - Only the second 19 year-old ever to hit 20+ homeruns
Griffey's career for those of us who grew up in the 90s is sad. He was on his way to being the best hitter ever. Hopefully the all out hustle doesn't cause a terrible injury, and derail Harper like it did for Griffey and so many others. -

Assuming Cabrera DOES NOT win the Triple Crown, who is the MVP?
I was thinking about the bold part when talking about the predictive aspects. I'm with you on the defensive metrics. Baseball being how it is, it's almost impossible to know statistically that someone "should" have made a play, or even could have. There's a lot that factors in besides the... -

Has anyone here ever got any counterfit money at shows?
The washed money is the new thing going around. A guy we sell product to (I have a wholesale bakery) got a 20 that was really a 5 from selling stuff randomly to someone on the street. You could see the watermark 5 still. It's pretty sly for sure. -

Bryce Harper - Only the second 19 year-old ever to hit 20+ homeruns
I enjoy these discussions too. However it's just overreaction at this point. I can EASILY see this board next year going bonkers for Harper, while Trout becomes second fiddle. Post from next year: "What's happened to Trout? He's only hitting .298 this year. While Harper is hitting .315 with 35... -

Assuming Cabrera DOES NOT win the Triple Crown, who is the MVP?
That's my only issue with WAR. It's a nifty stat, but there is no consensus on how it's calculated. Not only that, but it uses arbitrary numbers to factor in how difficult a position is supposed to be, changes in ballparks, etc. It's a lot like the advanced pitching metrics. They do a decent... -

Who's the super stocky guy in the maroon shirt on the right? I can make out a few guys, and Maddon. -

Can you piss away 26 million dollars in 6 years ????
That's what I was gonna say. It's more like 13 after taxes. Plus the agent gets his percent too. Of all sports you'd think football players should expect it could all end suddenly, and not spend like its going to be there forever. What's the average career length now? Three years I think. -

muskiesfan's Week 3 Power Rankings
I'm surprised the Lions played so close. Assuming they weren't bone heads and didn't rough the kicker; they could have saved 4 points. Plus a missed field goal by Hanson would have made the game a one point win for SF. Not bad for a road game. Better than GB showed at home. -

Assuming Cabrera DOES NOT win the Triple Crown, who is the MVP?
At this point with Cabrera getting hotter and Trout cooling off some its probably Cabrera's now. Unless the Angels make it and the Tigers don't. I could see Hamilton getting it if neither makes it, and Cabrera doesn't get the triple crown. -

Grading a Topps Vault Blank Back 1/1
That's really weird to do for those. They come in a bgs case already. There's little to no reason to grade one. -

Might Cabrera win the Triple Crown and not win the MVP Award?
Well he's there now. Hopefully he can sustain the HR totals. I feel the Avg and RBI will happen. -

Might Cabrera win the Triple Crown and not win the MVP Award?
That's sorta my point. Collecting wasn't anything close then. -

Will Selig deny Melky's batting title?
Is he just intelligible? His stats have to stay though right? There's now way to erase them with out throwing off everyone he played with and against. -

Might Cabrera win the Triple Crown and not win the MVP Award?
Since this is a card related board, assuming he did win the triple crown, how big of an effect would it be for his cards? There's never been a triple crown winner in the modern collecting world. -

Will Selig deny Melky's batting title?
This is a weird one for me. On one hand he got caught cheating which you would think nullifies anything he achieved. Sort of like getting caught cheating in a game of anything makes you lose. However, the punishment for steroids is a suspension. Not a suspension plus voiding of stats. Because in... -

Might Cabrera win the Triple Crown and not win the MVP Award?
Also, defense included or not, when was the last MVP that factored in D? It never happens. Go back and look at the MVP history. There's only 2-3 guys on the AL list going back 30 years who were even good at defense. Not only that, but people just assume he's been horrible at third. Which isn't... -

Might Cabrera win the Triple Crown and not win the MVP Award?
This was my thinking as well. The last 3 did, and given it hasn't happened in sooooo long I really doubt anyone wouldn't get it now. Also, I'm not sure why Ted Williams didn't get the MVP over DiMaggio other than maybe the fact they finished third, while the Yankees won it. Their seasons... -

Miguel Cabrera is in 1st or 2nd in every Triple Crown Category
I can't imagine how crazy his stats would be hitting in a hitter friendly park like NY or TEX. His numbers would be huge. The really amazing part is he hits most of his HR to center and right. Which are crazy deep in Detroit. -

Might Cabrera win the Triple Crown and not win the MVP Award?
Getting the triple crown is better than the MVP anyway. The MVP is given out every year. No one has gotten the triple crown in 45 years, all the way back to 1937 for the NL, and only 15 times total for AL/NL combined. I'd be shocked if any triple crown winner didn't get the MVP. Really the... -

Top 50 active career hits: Who gets 3,000?
People talk about him aging poorly, but he's never been injury prone, and is actually smaller this season. Is he going to stick at 3B his whole career? No, but he doesn't need to. Fielder will be the DH in a few years, and Cabrera will play 1B. Cabrera isn't really all that different than...
