As part of his report on the new potential Commissioners, Olbermann did a pretty scary report on baseball's declining national popularity with kids. One of the things he cited was ESPN's ongoing tracking poll of "one favorite all-time athlete" for people over 12.
No active MLB players crack the top 99. Mike Trout is #100. That is five spots ahead of O.J. Simpson.
Lionel Messi is #4 Babe Ruth is #18 Michael Phelps is #23 John Cena is #52 Mike Trout #100 OJ Simpson #105

Between important games starting at 830-9 at night,the legnth of said games being 4 hours and the horrible pacing of the average game, I can't imagine why an increasing number of kids don't give a f*** about baseball

It's nice to see a smoke and mirrors team like the Yankees get completely disassembled by another smoke-and-mirrors team like the O's. When you have perennial scrubs like Jonathan Schoop and Steve Pearce getting key hits off of you then it's time to accept the season for what it is: A lost one.
Pineda was good and all, but until the Yankees can score some f***ing runs, this will be the result against the better teams. And there are lot of better teams in the AL.

Honestly the fact that Manfred didn't get it on the first ballot is a bit of a let down.
Would rather have a guy with history negotiating successful bargains with the players association heading baseball, then the owner of the early 90s Padres who had to gut that team and also the guy who helped create Mork and Mindy

In case you didn't know it yet, the Yankees are done. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they finished last in the East.

The way things have been going, don't be surprised if the A's will have to struggle for the 2nd wild card while the Angels and Mariners trounce their way into the play-offs
