That's just their Mets fan in them talking. Why do they hate us so much? I grew up in a Mets household and have no ill will towards them. Sarcasman is cool though as a Mets fan. He doesn't rag on the Yankees too much. TEM though.......his hatred is real. Lol Big brother syndrome. Yankees win and are the team of NY. Much like the Giants are over the Jets no matter how bad we are. Knicks over Nets and unfortunately Rangers over Islanders. I'm a Nets fan and couldn't care less about the Knicks. Lol

Much like the Yankees and Giants always are despite the struggles. Not trying to be an anti Nets guy, but it's true. Madison Square Garden will always be the NY basketball arena. And the Knicks will eventually get good again.

Beltran spent plenty of time in the Yankee dugout post Houston. Does MLB need to open an investigation into every team that these guys worked for over the past five years? That's why I think they'll never pursue the players on this, too messy. Beltran spent plenty of time in the Yankees' dugout?? I'm a diehard fan and season ticket holder. I don't recall seeing Beltran in the dugout once. My bad. I thought he was on that team for a few years.

I thought he was on that team for a few years. Oh, so you're saying he devised a "centerfield camera/trashcan banging scheme" inside Yankee Stadium (with no proof or speculation) "before" he was traded to Houston, where there was speculation that the Astros were already cheating before 2017... Got it now.

Oh ok, but I'm confused now since I've re-read at your original comment where you said, "Beltran spent plenty of time in the Yankee dugout post Houston". So it wasn't in reference to when Beltran was a player, but after he retired as a player. PS: For the record, I don't think you're an idiot. We've had lengthy discussions in the past (the DH for one) and I think you're a pretty sharp guy.

I still cant get over the fact someone wants to ban Garrett Cole because he got a huge contract and pitched for the Astros last year...

“Believe me, at the end of the year everything will be fine,” Altuve told reporters. “We’re going to be in the World Series again. People don’t believe it. We will. We made it last year. We were one game away from winning it all. I’m happy for the Nationals. We will be in the World Series again.” CC's response:

The Rise and Sudden Fall of the Houston Astros Aggressive and innovative strategies pushed the club to the pinnacle of baseball. But a cheating scandal has tarnished its accomplishments and left the sport reeling. www.nytimes.com/2020/01/18/s...-cheating.htmlSome excerpts: -A scathing report by Major League Baseball exposed the Astros as cheaters, trashing their reputation, ousting their leaders and igniting the sport’s biggest scandal since the steroid revelations of the 2000s. -The shock waves have been seismic. Three managers and one general manager have lost their jobs -Baseball is grappling with at least one tainted championship, a moral and practical quandary over using technology and unsettling questions about the credibility of the competition. -“The word that keeps popping into my mind is ‘unfathomable,’” said the veteran catcher Stephen Vogt, -"The integrity of our game is what we have, and now that’s been broken.” The Altuve jersey-clutching video coming out the day after MLB announced (1) no sign stealing occurred beyond 2017 and (2) no penalties for any players, was about the worst thing that could have happened. Altuve doesn't not only not deserve the benefit of the doubt, but in terms of conduct, that's about as smoking-gun a video as you will find, without actually seeing him tape buzzers to his body. The "nothing beyond 2017" position of MLB simply tells me that HOU has colluded to lie to investigators that their sign stealing was limited to 2017. They (1) continued to cheat after 2017 and they (2) all agreed to lie about it. The Altuve video proves this. From the same article, “It’s time for the players involved to step forward,” the veteran reliever Jerry Blevins tweeted. “Take your lumps publicly. Your name is coming out sooner or later. Maybe there’s some integrity still in you somewhere.”

Report: Red Sox want to package Mookie Betts with David Price in trade Whichever MLB team winds up trading for Mookie Betts may have to pay something of a tariff for him. ESPN’s Buster Olney reported on Sunday that the Boston Red Sox are seeking to package the former AL MVP with the contract of veteran pitcher David Price. The Red Sox are also said to be asking for a pair of frontline prospects. Betts, 27, just agreed to a record one-year contract to remain in Boston but could still be on the move with the team looking to slash payroll. The 34-year-old Price, meanwhile, has three years and $96 million remaining on his deal. While some heavy hitters are interested in Betts, he will be a free agent in a year’s time, meaning that the opportunity cost of taking on the Price anchor in addition to parting with multiple top prospects might just be too great. larrybrownsports.com/baseball/red-sox-want-package-mookie-betts-david-price-trade/534187----- I believe if a team trades for Betts and Price comes with him, the Red Sox wont get much of a return back. Thats nearly $60m for a shot lefty arm and a soon to be FA bat. The Red Sox are smoking crack on that one. Not even sure Betts alone would net much with that $27m price tag and only 1 year. The good new is, for Yankee fans, Betts looks to be on his last legs in Boston.

Well there is a lot to not like about the guy. He reminds me of a hobbit, he had the lamest response ever known to man on why he couldn’t have his jersey ripped off him. He might as well said “yeah I’m a big ol vagina and my wife runs our home.”

Enough now, if a player is deserving of 💯 of the votes then give it to him. I don’t need to know who it is, the guy is an idiot. But back to what’s important, Jeter is a HOF. Congrats Captain #2

He probably forgot names are now attached to votes. Personally I dont care about it, but it's hilarious someone actually thinks Jeter isn't a HOFer

We may never find out the lone Derek Jeter Hall of Fame dissenter In the sports version of “who’s the identity of this mystery person,” you can call Derek Jeter’s Hall of Fame dissenter. . . Deep Vote. But unlike the eventual emergence of the famed Watergate mystery figure, the fascinating question of “who didn’t vote for Derek Jeter for the Hall of Fame” might be one for which we never learn the answer. Voters for the Baseball Writers’ Association of America are not required to publicly reveal their ballots for the Hall of Fame. Thus, while the entire baseball world is craving the identity of which one of the 397 voters didn’t believe Jeter merited a spot in Cooperstown, that disclosure might remain private. Within the last few years, the BBWAA voted to require all writers to publicly reveal their ballots, a verdict in favor of transparency and accountability. However, the Hall of Fame overruled that vote, preferring to ensure anonymity to those who desired it. nypost.com/2020/01/21/we-may-never-find-out-the-lone-derek-jeter-hall-of-fame-dissenter/
