Can't believe I'm saying this... Yankees are the only one I like.

I think most of them are fine, but I'm confused why a lot of the hats are a lighter shade of blue than any other part of the jersey.

What do any of these jerseys have to do with it being "players weekend"?

If I owned the Phil's I'd really want to tell them to cram their brand dilution nonsense.

Yeah, say what you want about some of the jerseys but people are really enjoying the nicknames. in a small way, it's good for the sport.

Joe West suspended 3 games after calling Adrian Beltre game's biggest complainer in USA Today, per WUA. Union strongly opposes suspension.

I've mentioned before that I'm not a big fan of Beltre as a personality (whiny and short-tempered being part of that), though I love him as a player. Joe West I'm neither a fan of his personality or performance.

That said, I can't see anything he said that merits a suspension. And Beltre's reaction is admirable.

bad look for the guy that calls strikes and balls to say a certain player is a whiner


It was a joke.

Yeah, I get the sense from comments that Beltre and West are relatively friendly with each other.

Baseball's been very, very good to Derek, but somehow I'm guessing he's not a majority owner.
