quote:It’s great for the Pirates because they are not a real contender and now have a short-term starting ace who won’t get attached and be looking for something awkward — like, say, an extension. It’s great for the Yankees because now they can add in other areas and win it all again.

A lot of media people discovered that a good way to keep ratings up is to the say the stupidest contrarian poo poo possible. It works really well for sports since there are a ton of idiot fans.

R.D. Mangles posted:I didn't read the article, but the only cursed team is the Cubs. It is silly to claim that Chicago won a world series 7 years ago because the White Sox winning was pretty much the worst thing to happen to Cubs fans. Everyone does forget that until 2005, the White Sox and Cubs had the two longest championship droughts in all of American professional sports (Red Sox fans are infinitely louder). He bases the town being cursed on the last six months and Cutler/Rose injuries. Yeah.

The Prisoner posted:As much as I dislike them I am pretty sure the Yankees are an exception to teams honoring too many of their players. The only baseball players honored in Monument Park who aren't in the Hall of Fame are Ron Guidry, Don Mattingly, Allie Reynolds, Roger Maris, Thurman Munson, and Elston Howard. And Billy Martin, I guess. I don't think Munson really has a case. Maybe if he were eligible.

jeffersonlives posted:In fairness, Francesa can be pretty good at interviews when he's into the topic, so his show is a mixture of actual good content and unintentional high comedy. I don't listen to it every minute or every day or anything, but I am a listener. I'm 99% sure he was the one who introduced that goddamned "Mets core players" meme into the wild. I do kinda miss the fat bastard, since I really can't listen to WFAN when he's on. Though I usually get the WEEI Whiner Line on the way home so it isn't too bad.
