Well, in rereading the first post on my WBC roster selections, I realized I may have been a little overly derisive, but I really just wanted to foster some debate and decided the best way to do so would be to go with low blows. All in all though, I wanted to point out that [...]


They could potentially roll out this lineup:
1. 2B Jose Reyes
2. SS Hanley Ramirez
3. 3B Alex Rodriguez
4. 1B Albert Pujols
5. LF Manny Ramirez
6. RF Vladimir Guerrero
7. DH David Ortiz (and/or Aramis Ramirez if you prefer)
8. CF Alfonso Soriano
9. C Miguel Olivo
You could also play Cano at 2B, Reyes at SS, and DH Hanley if you’re uncomfortable [...]

Well, I don’t have a ton of issues with your roster, so on a few of these, I’m really just going to play devil’s advocate (or a disagreeable douche if you prefer). That said, I do have a few major problems here and there.
 
First of all, I don’t really understand why you boxed yourself into [...]


All in all, the Mets acquisition of K-Rod could have been worse.

IT’S A FUCKING HYPHEN

At the risk of losing some credibility, I’ve decided to publish my pre-season NFL bets and see how they’re looking with 3/4 of the NFL season in the books. 
To start with, I was extremely down on the Giants going into the season. I thought their Super Bowl win was a fluke, and I was convinced [...]


Yesterday’s arbitration decisions should have a serious effect on several Free Agents’ desirability. Several players who might have scared teams with their Type A or B status will now only cost money and not draft picks – chiefly Adam Dunn, Pat Burrell, Bobby Abreu, and Kerry Wood. I think Dunn and Wood should now become [...]
