Bier Meister Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yep. The Rays have broken the barrier in recent years but its been ages for the O's. I really hope they can raise the Orange Roger nod... the yankees have had a rare few 2nd and 3rd place finishes in the division over the past 10 years...but mostly 1st.

Menudo Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Congrats Whomper.....I'll definitely be rooting for the Orioles during the stretch run. As for the Pirates, they are completely falling apart. They will be lucky to finish over .500 at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitzkek Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Phillies now have a better record than the Pirates! And they have accomplished this by using their farm system arms in both the rotation and the bullpen. In a season where I couldn't imagine having worse injury woes, the Fightins will still finish above .500. Remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats, the Phillies with a 180 million dollar payroll who started the season as 7/1 odds to win the World Series are 1 game ahead of the Pirates, who have a 50 million dollar payroll and started the season as 70/1 odds to win the World Series. Phillies fans should be embarrassed, but, are instead celebrating. They never cease to amaze me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillies fans should be embarrassed, but, are instead celebrating. They never cease to amaze me. Philly fans are not celebrating at all. This has been one of the most disappointing seasons that I can remember. We have had mostly terrible Phillies teams in the past, but there were never expectations. This year, was supposed to be a good season, but the injuries were devastating. The payroll you continue to bring up, was lost for most of the year with injury. We were playing ball with minor league talent for the majority of the season. Last time I checked, we live in America. The land of opportunity. If you WANT to win, spend some bread, and do it.

Philadelphia has six times the population of Pittsburgh, and that is just in the city. The suburbs make it probably close to 9 times larger. This makes it a bit easier to fill your stadium while charging more for tickets, selling merchandise, selling food, tv contracts, radio deals, etc. etc. That is why every other sport has a salary cap. The Phillies are playing with a very large advantage over most of the other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phillies are playing with a very large advantage over most of the other teams. Pittsburgh is inferior to most other cities in the US, why shouldn't their sports teams be? Seriously though, I couldn't agree more. Baseball needs a salary cap or revenue sharing arrangement of some kind. The big market teams need to realize that if you cut down to only the teams in cities big enough to really support them, you'd have about 10 teams nationwide and the talent would be so awesome on each team the winner every year would be decided by sheer luck. Think of it like the difference between a 12-team FF league and an 8-team league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the Orioles-Red Sox game last night watch the last few innings of the Reds game on my phone. For all of the talent they have been bragging about with Homer for 5 years now I am happy for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
