    So who does win? Just like with the luxury tax, it's the teams that can't or won't spend money. Too cheap to hang on to your home grown superstars? No worries, they're a Type A and you'll receive another potential star just for being stingy

    Yeah, fuck you Milwaukee fans, you may have lost CC Sabathia because the Yankees offered him infinity billion dollars for an indefinite number of years, but you got a first-round draft pick out of it, who has about a 30% chance of ever playing in the major leagues. You selfish pricks have all the luck. #freeagency

    "•Stolen bases aren't taken into account. That's the most glaring, since a player who can single, then steal second 95 percent of the time, is unquestionably valuable. That extra base is akin to a huge jump in slugging percentage. Which reminds us..."

    First, that player does not exist. Nobody's stolen base percentage is that high. Second, it isn't akin to a huge jump in slugging percentage, because a big part of the benefit of a high slugging percentage is that you drive around runners on base ahead of you. Stolen bases by definition do not do that.

    But hey, the post is by the resident Yankee fan, who somehow turns this into a story about how the small market teams get all the breaks, so I'm pretty sure that understanding the subject was pretty low on the list of priorities. #freeagency

    Doesn't the NFL base the draft pick reward for Restr. FA on contract amount? That seems fairer than this stupidity. #freeagency

    @atl_matt: I thought about that, but in a salary cap-less league, money is probably an even worse indicator of talent. #freeagency

    Keep in mind that some of the less comely lasses have never surrendered their amateur status, so you can usually get them in exchange for a Double Whopper Meal Deal. #watercoolerfodder

    You need to take that picture down. Those are nice girls and do not need to be associated with a headline about whores, despite your disclaimer.

    If LeBron gets us a ring this year I don't care if he signs with the Vienna Sausageslappers for half the GDP of Singapore.

    @Sculptor?!?I_just_met_her!:


    This week, LeBron's demands are:


    Appointment as dictator for life, bulldoze the Terminal Tower and replace it with a 1,000 foot tall statue of LBJ The King #23 made out of human flesh, and his own personal army of robotic tigers. All of which are, IMHO, perfectly reasonable.

    @racistmascot_inc: Hmm. Can we replace the statue bit with 'install Romeo Crennel on top of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument' (you know, with the sharp pointy part straight up his arse). If that's agreeable, then I see no reason why these demands can't be met.

    Could you even tell if it was the real Romeo Crennel or just a statue? You could put 'The Thinker' on the sidelines right now, paint in black and I wouldn't think anything was amiss.

    Well at least the Knicks can still get Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony and pre-HIV Magic Johnson.(NY may have a problem with expectations).
