Is that a Nickelback cover band?

I have no idea who did that song but for some reason the Marlins have more cheesy, suicide inducing songs than any other team. Here's one even worse than the other one I posted. I suppose they tried to give the team a tropical themed song, which failed badly.

It greatly saddens me to hear anyone speak of the Civil War the way you just did. It directly and indirectly gave us the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to our Constitution, Homestead Act, Jim Crow Laws, etc. The Civil War was also very instrumental in industrializing America and opened up a lot of trading opportunities. I hope you enjoyed the film, Lincoln. It surely is a brilliant and very informative film (as well as a great history lesson) that should be required viewing in every school across The United States. Sorry for derailing the thread guys, sometimes the history major in me really comes out.

Don't worry about that MF.....I'm just glad you're on my side when it comes to the Jays.

I think it's ok to get a little off topic on this board as long as you finish it with GO JAYS. People worry too much about being politically correct and not saying their peace.....Good Going. Chad is the same as you as far as speaking his mind and I hope you guys continue to do so.

What happened to Joba Chamberlain? Wasn't he supposed to be the future in New York?

Should be a good one with Verlander vs. Sabathia.

He looks like he put on 30 lbs.

-The Astros had an MLB record 43 strikeouts in their first 3 games
-All 4 starting pitchers the Astros have faced have either tied or set a career high for strikeouts in a game
-Astros first baseman Brett Wallace has 11 strikeouts, an MLB record for the first 4 games of the season

Unbelieveably, pathetic numbers. Maybe the 'stros will change the "H" on their hat to a "K".

This is what happens when you have a league with no payroll floor. Deadbeat owners run teams into the ground. The Astros are the lowest payroll team in MLB by a mile.

Here are the five lowest payroll teams for 2013. There's really no excuse. Houston isn't a small market franchise.

Oakland $68,577,000
Pittsburgh $66,289,524
Tampa Bay $57,030,272
Miami $39,621,900
Houston $24,328,538

Justin Upton 5/14 with 4 HRs

[ChadFL]

I hope Atlanta ups their team payroll in future years because we're on borrowed time with a lot of these players. Here are what some of the top Braves players are making in 2013. Kimbrel sticks out the most. I think he'll be arbitration eligible in 2014.

Jason Heyward $3,650,000
Kris Medlen $2,600,000
Craig Kimbrel $655,000
Freddie Freeman $560,000
Mike Minor $505,000

Dan Uggla makes almost twice what all 5 players combined make.

Well Hudson is likely gone next year. And Maholm will save some too if Gilmartin is ready.

Well I wouldn't call Hudson overpaid. He's actually lived up to his salary. He's only making $9 mill this season, about what a guy who went 16-7 with an ERA of 3.62 last year is worth.

Oh, not calling him overpaid. Just saying that if he leaves and Maholm leave, that's $15.5 million.

And Uggla and his $13 mil drop off the books the year before Freeman and Kimbrel hit free agency.

Not to mention McCann may be gone, and he's making $12 million.
