The Marlins finished the season in their new stadium with over 2 million people in attendance for only the third time in franchise history but 500,000 short of their projected total and the lowest among the 11 MLB ballparks that have opened since 2001.

I heard something on the Reds games last night. The Reds TV broadcasts have the 2nd highest ratings among all of MLB

That said as long as Miggy doesn't do anything stupid, he'll be in easily.

Personally I've always been a Torii fan. Andruw fell off that cliff pretty badly.

The Red Sox have fired Bobby Valentine.

"Our 2012 season was disappointing for many reasons," Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said in a written statement. "No single issue is the reason, and no single individual is to blame."

Almost all rumors indicate that Ozzie Guillen has been fired or will soon be fired. The Marlins are cleaning house.

If they fire Guillen (which seems inevitable) they will be on their 7th manager (not including interim managers or Jack McKeon last season) since 2002. 2 of the managers they fired, Joe Girardi and Fredi Gonzalez, are managing in the playoffs this season.

He's played 10 years. If he retires tomorrow, he's not making the HOF.

no 2x 70 = 140 + bullshit ticketmaster charges, they were section 356 way up in the stadium behind home plate not very good seats honestly.

Yes he would lol your smoking something man, hes a career 300 hitter and regarded as best power hitter in the game hes making the HOF

1 WS
1 Batting Title
1 Triple Crown

Almost won gold glove at 1st also not to mention he has done well in MVP voting 2x may not have won it but he has done well. Hes as much a shoo in as Verlander would be.
