Go all the way, move the fences in to 20 feet beyond the bags. The increased power numbers are sure to attract the fans.

It plays fair doesn’t detract pitchers or hitters coming in free agency.

It might actually be the listed 314 after that.

Of course, I’m the one who thinks the “steroid era” simply meant people didn’t bother asking about juiced balls…

This will help, but not fix the problem.

Dumb and Dumber will now reward him with a new 5 year contract.

It’s offensive to all the knowledgeable and attractive ladies who comment here. They can track the hits too and they dig the long ball (that’s what it says on the bathroom wall about them, anyways). If anyone’s gonna be tracking the longball its HBT’s fairer commenters and they deserve a shout-out to get their hitttrackers on, too.*

*can you tell I’ve been watching a lot of your political discourse from your two Alpha Dog Politicians? I’ve learned the secret to the good Alpha Dog American Politician is to be the first to be outraged at any imagined slight and be MORE outraged than anyone could possibly be ever . . . that, and I wanted to say chicks dig the longball.

It works both ways, sure your offense is down, but you’re pitching is up. I kind of hate that every pitcher’s park are having their fences moved in lately.

One more Jeff Raikes speech about “win with pitching and defense” would have sent me over the edge.
