Hah, Marlins already giving up on Andrew Miller. Traded to Red Sox.

Very pretty.

That was absolutely fantastic. 8-1 and honestly could have been way more.

I might be the biggest Beatles fan you will ever find, and as a whole, they were probably not as talented as musicians as Coldplay might be. That isn't really their lure. But if Kanye's point is that in 30 years, Coldplay will be more memorable than the Beatles, that is just absurd.

Flyers just had a goal robbed from them. One of the worst calls I have ever seen.

Very interested to see what the Nationals do this winter. They certainly seem willing to spend money

Also...I am giggling at the line about the Phillies "deciding if they will re-sign him". As if they hold the key to this process, and not the fact that he will probably be about $50 million out of their price zone.... If the Phillies had the money, he'd be locked up already. People need to think before they write.

Lol....are you kidding me dude? A) You are about 5 months late and B) 5 months ago, it was also determined that this Jayson Werth/Jen Utley nonsense was total BS. I guess the "playoffs" line was just added in to make it sound more recent? And I'd say Chase Utley's down year was a result of rushing back from a hand injury, as well as his chronic hip condition. But making ridiculous rumors is way more fun!

Also, Juan Samuel hired to be the third base coach. Sam Perlozzo moves to first.

Pete Orr signs minor league deal. Figure he'll get a shot to crack the roster in Spring Training.

Yep. Back when I had MLB Extra Innings, if I was bored and had no interest in any particular game, I'd usually put on the Mariners because Niehaus was one of the best. Or the Dodgers to hear Scully.

If I could illustrate the last 4 or 5 years of Sixers basketball by using just one game as a demonstration, I think this might be the game.

Cool to see Jodie Meeks contribute.

Sixers SUCK! *yawn*

Lol commentation

RIP Dave Niehaus. One of the best.

First big-ish trade of the offseason. Royals trade David DeJesus to the Athletics for Vin Mazzaro and Justin Marks. Win for the Royals, IMO. DeJesus seems to be a good fit for Oakland, but they overpaid. I expected them to trade one of their starting pitchers, but I also expected them to get a bit more. Oh well, I still view the A's as next season's Reds/Rangers.

Who cares. Can't believe people are getting so upset about this. The Gold Glove has been a joke for 10 years now. Does it really surprise anybody that the 8th or 9th most deserving shortstop won?

Even the homer Heat announcers said it was clearly a foul.

Yes. Most overdo it.

Posted about this in general hockey thread, but now that this is official I figured it deserves it's own thread. I personally think this is awesome. The NHL realizes that the All Star Game is nothing more than a money-making gimmick. And gimmicks need to be shaken up every once in a while to stay interesting. This probably will have a short shelf life, and when it is dried up they can try something new. Unlike MLB, they are not trying to make the All Star Game a bigger deal than it is. This should be fun. Anyway, the "draft" will be on January 28th, according to TSN.

Haha yeah you have to keep an eye on them and make sure they do it right.

Paul Bissonnette is [expletive]in hilarious. He is on NHL Live right now. I wish there were more professional athletes like him. Also, if you are on Twitter, I highly recommend following him. @biznasty2point0
