- your team rules are archiac , get with the times man. - groiny Aug 9, 13:41 13
  - I like the traditions teams have in sports. I think MLB teams should go back to wearing sweaters. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 13:42 12
    - I just want them out of the baggy pants. -- nm - . Aug 9, 13:53 2
      - I bet you do. ;-) I like it when they wear the pants above the socks or stirrups. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 14:07 1
        
        Love that look. -- nm - . Aug 9, 14:22
    - the only tradition is the game between the white lines. - groiny Aug 9, 13:43 8
      - You're very wrong. We aren't special but we have traditions and the team puts that word all over - Krusty Aug 9, 13:49 2
        
        not just my team, all the teams except one, the "special" one -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:57 1
        
        Other teams do as well. The Red Sox don't have names on their home jerseys, just the road ones. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 9, 14:00
      - Aw damn, groin...now you did it. nm -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 13:45 4
        
        the facial hair policy and the no names on the jerseys bugs me -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:46 3
        
        It's about your appearance as you represent the organization and the no names is because it's a team sport and not about the - Krusty Aug 9, 13:50 2
        
        then all the players should be paid the same then. -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:58
        
        I know why they do that, and I think it is stupid. -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:57
He was just 10 when Boston traded that pitcher to them. -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:36 11
- And he hated it because the picther was batting, too. Pitchers are pitchers, goddamn it! (NM) - Marlowe Aug 9, 13:39 10
  - Heh. :-) That both leagues don't play by the same rules is ridiculous. Ridiculous! -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 13:41 9
    - I sorta agree, but isn't that due to tradition, as well? (NM) - Marlowe Aug 9, 14:06 8
      - From the 1970s. So, that can go immediately. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 14:08 1
        
        think of all the titles you would not have won without Matsui at DH -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 14:12
      - We're only concerned with the 100 year old traditions of the Yankees...not the 100+ year old traditions of MLB. jeez... -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 14:07 5
        
        What are you talking about? There was no DH until '73. Why do you hate fun and more home runs? ;-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 14:11 4
        
        Exactly - the tradition of pitchers batting for themselves goes back to the beginning of baseball. Why aren't you crying over that lost tradition - Johnny Lawrence Aug 9, 14:12 3
        
        I'd be fine with that if that's the way they go with it. I just want the same rules in both leagues. - Krusty Aug 9, 14:20 1
        
        I'm not such a traditionalist that I can't see how changes can make the game better. - Krusty Aug 9, 14:23
        
        and how about all these Asian players? They should be be doing the team's laundry!!! -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 14:13
