2011 Silver Slugger Award Winners
Who's up for comeback player of the year? Surely it belongs to Javier Matt Kemp hit .249/.310/.450 last year and was criticized by everyone including his own GM. This year he could be the MVP. He'll be hard to beat. Edit: What am I talking about, Berkman already won Comeback Player of the Year.

2011 Gold Glove Awards
What I love is that Rays led the majors in fewest errors and the AL in fielding percentage (tied in the majors with the Phillies in that cat) and not one player got a defensive award. I guess being the best isn't good enough (?) 1) Fielding percentage is not a good metric. The fact that the Phillies, with guys like Howard, Brown, and Ibanez butchering in the OF, also lead in that category is proof enough of that. 2) Being the best as a team doesn't make you the best individually, regardless. You could definitely make the argument that the Rays were the best defensive team in baseball, though. Note that no Rays won a Fielding Bible Award either (and Beltre won the award for third base). We've already said to you that Beltre was better Longo by every statistic and you brushed it off completely. Any other Rays that you want to argue were the best fielders in baseball?

Evan Longoria robbed at 3b. Sigh. Nope. Beltre was better by every statistic.

Team Colors and New Logo
People who have liked the logo have made it known several times too. And I don't see what's so wrong about people commenting again after they actually see the logo on a physical hat, regardless of whether or not they like it. The real whiners appear to be those butthurt by the fact that people are dumping on the logo. Real whiners are people who use the phrase "butthurt" as a rebuttal.

Will the world end in on 21/12/2012?
For me, heat84 sounding like a rational human being would suffice. What's irrational about what I said? And I guess the Mayans and Hopi Indians are irrational too? If you think I'm irrational, what do you call the people who think the world is literally gonna end? I hope the day goes by quietly. I'm not hoping for anything to happen if that's what you think. There's gonna be major Earth changes sooner or later. I... I don't even know.

2011 World Series thread
Can someone give a link to the radio call? There's a 3 minute 18 second video on mlb.com that just has Joe Buck and Tim McCarver + a lot of replays. If you look at the individual plays on MLB.tv as "Must C", they usually also have the radio calls.

2011 World Series thread
if I'm a Rangers fan I'm pissed at Cruz almost as much as Feliz. That catch on the Freese triple wins the World Series. Gotta get yer fatass back to the wall and catch it. No time for jogging around back there. I don't think he really had a shot at that ball. I'm agreeing with Erick here, he had to play it off the wall.

Also- I'm a bit annoyed that Buck tries to reuse his dad's line and makes an obvious attempt to deliver it the same way. That just shows that there is nothing genuine about how he calls a baseball game. I hope that NBC/CBS/ABC make a strong pitch for national baseball coverage when the current contract is up. I like that he goes with his dad's call. What I don't like is that he can't say it with an ounce of enthusiasm. He sounds like someone leaving the office for the day.

Realistic starting rotation
Trade ricky, sell a few paintings, get cj. lol. "Today the Marlins agreed to trade two Picaso's, a Warhol, and a Painting to be Named Later to the Rays for James Shields." God damn, I knew we'd overpay.

Will there be a complete site overhaul ?
I quite honestly don't think Rab cares about post count... in terms of a weiner measuring competition, that is. However, that would be very annoying to erase all of the post counts lol. MY POSTCOUNT IS MY LIFE! Funnily enough, I actually wish my postcount was lower. I feel that including the game thread posts artificially inflated post counts.

2011 World Series thread
If La Russa doesn't put on that small ball, hit and run silliness, it would have been bases loaded with no outs and Lance Berkman walking to the plate. Seriously.. I know Pujols barely strikes out, but with Holliday and Berkman due up behind him, why risk it? Dumb Especially considering how wild Feliz has been.

what happened to that PepsiCo rumor? the possibilities were endless with that. and they were mostly good. Nothing happened to it. I have no idea where this guy pulled Banco Popular from. Not even Twitter has that as a rumor.

2011-12 NFL Thread
Its as simple as this, do you want Peyton Manning for the next 15 seasons or a few extra wins and no Peyton Manning? However, there is no guarantee he turns into Peyton Manning. The chances of him becoming Manning are high. I'm willing to take that chance. If he doesn't turn into Manning, he'll still be a Chad Pennington type QB. That's his floor. He's that good. Manning might be the best ever, you're being a little silly.

Stadium Name To Be Revealed Whenever They Feel Like It
Banco Popular is now known as "Community Bank" - Book it as our new stadium sponsor, but I've got a feeling there's some last minute haggling over the price. It's actually Popular Community Bank. Also, I have no idea why you'd guess that as our sponsor.
