    All 3 of them were dirty, they knew it and turned a blind eye. Check how many of their players were in the Mitchell Report. Where do you draw the line?

    Probably with the players.

    Managers don't sign players. Managers also did nothing illegal or in violation of the rules.

    If anybody deserves the majority of the blame beyond the players who were using, it is Bud Selig & whoever was heading the PA.

    If Kershaw were paid 365 days a year ($30.7 million), he'd earn $84,109.59/day, $3,504.57/hour and $58.41/minute

    He's worth it, if he stays healthy (in context of pitchers being overpaid).

    Dodgers certainly have the money for a deal like that as well.

    Cardinals are like the Patriots of the MLB World, always contending each year. I have tremendous respect for that organization.
