(29,322 posts)Now I have to rely on the Eagles to pick up the W.
Not too happy as a Rockies fan but happy because the only team that had a mathematical shot was the DBacks and ABDB.

My motto going forward is "Win for Vin".

(24,853 posts)They were in last place, 9 1/2 games out on 6/22. Were you saying they bought the division at that time?
I notice your avatar... thought you might like the picture below. By the way, have they finished paying their part of his salary yet? What were they trying to buy by giving him the most lucrative contract in baseball history, hmmm?

(20,365 posts)Unlike those 1%ers, Mark Walter, Todd Boehly, Bobby Patton, Peter Guber, Stan Kasten, and Earvin Magic Johnson.
And it does take a little time to get all those highly payed players to act like a team.
The New Yankees! I hope you're proud!

(29,322 posts)Actually it was a classless move but I hate the DBacks and they are pissed.
Iggo
(47,547 posts)Now THAT's classy.
Note to the dbacks: You don't want the other team celebrating on your field? Beat them!

(9,709 posts)the only thing worse was MLB allowing him to get a away with it. The pool incident was an example of the lack of control Mattingly has over this team. Heck, virtually anybody can win with a payroll of over $200 million..

(24,853 posts)It's not something I would have done.
Upton
(9,709 posts)I'm not surprised the D-Backs are pissed. Something similar would not have happened at AT&T.
The Dodgers have a payroll of 216 million, in essence buying their way into the playoffs, and they act like they just won the World Series...
Willie Bloomquist:
But theres a fine line between going overboard at someone elses place and doing that, I think, he added. But what are we going to do about it? Theres not much we can do about it now. Theyve clinched the division this year, but if thats how theyre going to act and be classless, thats their gig, thats their clubhouse. I just think its disrespectful and classless.
D-Backs president Derrick Hall got in a shot:
