If you're a true baseball nut you should buy my books. If you aren't, you shouldn't... Former Forbes and NY Daily News. BC Eagle. Providence hoops. Roll Tide.

@baseballinpix Is there a single star in MLB history who did play his last year with the A's?

@ImBreckWorsham Blamed for what? A better economy, fixed border, getting rid of Iran's nukes...?

@realEstateTrent Like mom and pop establishing trust for 40 years and then running off with Jerry's sneakers

@letstalkksports It was built on the backs of the NBA owners.

@GinaMuscato @JeffPassan Bonds, Clemens and A-Rod, yes. Sosa, McGwire and the others, no.

@YanksGoYardFS False. Yankees have overachieved throughout the entire Boone era.

@Punchoutpitch @JeffPassan @allthesmokeprod They've locked into this "no salary cap ever" mindset way too strongly. If they don't start showing some flexibility they deserve to miss the season and their entire paychecks

@NYSportsfan63 Not worth it

Nothing worse than having to travel with the contrarian coworker who "doesn't do chain restaurants."

The guy who pretends he's too good for Chili's, Starbucks, and Chipotle, who will make you spend an extra 45 minutes in traffic driving to the hole in the wall coffee shop on the other side of the metroplex for a $12 Americano brewed by a communist polycule that tastes exactly like (free) Marriott lobby coffee.

The guy who claims to loathe the suburbs due to the lack of adequate fine dining options, and who raves about his favorite Lebanese spot downtown where him and his equally pretentious Macbook-job wife shove carrots and hummus down their screaming iPad toddler's throat ("He loves it!") .

These are my least favorite people on the planet. At the end of a long day of work, I want a triple dipper for $15 and 14 Coke Zeros, not a deconstructed 2 oz. mushroom risotto with algae crisps and a boba tea.

These people deserve to be airdropped into the Amazon Rainforest.

@bmadden1954 Teams put way too much emphasis on experience relative to (current) talent

@BestMovieMom Its a shame the movie didnt allow us to stay awake long enough to see this

@Jimfrombaseball Not gambling, gambling on baseball. It goes right to the integrity of the game.

@LukeEpplin I'd say borderline but probably in. Right on that great/very good cusp. I think it unfaily hurts perception when a guy's 6-7 best years dont come consecutively. Voters want to see that dominant period.
