Don't forget about the Expos and Blue Jays though, both of those teams play outside of North America.

Ya, that was the dumbest comment I've read here in a while (if I don't count my own comments of course).

Is this the post-padding thread?

Follow-up: Has that already been asked?

Follow-up to the follow-up: If so, did it take more than 5 questions?

Will David Justice get a long term contract from ESPN for his broadcasting prowess?

Sir Lurksalot,

I hope so. David is an extremely talented as well as popular broadcaster. He has a true understanding of the game. He knows what it takes to win, he showed that during his playing career and he conveys that well to his viewing audience. It's hard for a broadcaster to be truly great without ever having played the game on a professional level and David not only did that but ecelled at it. He brings a great veteran outlook to the booth and I think he will be in the booth for many years to come.

I meant America as in the United States. I think it's pretty obvious that's what I was stating but since you were confused I hope this clears it up for you.

C'mon Joe, you messed up. No one expects an ex-jock to be up on their geography, so just admit you didn't know what you were talking about. We'll respect you for that.

No, this is not a post padding thread. This thread is for serious questions only. I am glad to share my knowledge to help others better understand the game but please don't accuse me of post padding. Remember I'm not the one who started this thread.

Hey Joe,

THe reason why I brought it up is that you were saying that there will soon be, in your opinion, a team outside N.A.; If you take the two best cases for teams outside of the USA, we would be looking at San Juan, Puerto Rico (which, although a Caribbean Island, is still considered N.A.) and Mexico City, Mexico, which is also considered N.A.

My comment was not made to be rude and I was not confused it was just made to question where outside N.A. we could see a MLB franchise.

Thanks...

Please don't contradict me. I told you what happened. I was honest and upfront about it as I am about everything.

I think MLB will increase their presence outside North America every year, especially in Japan. As they have done in the past I think they will continue to play games over seas during spring training. Ideally MLB would like to have franchises in Japan but the travel schedule makes that prohibitive.

Mr. Morgan,

If Barry Bonds played in the dead ball era would he have hit as many home runs as the great Frank "Home Run" Baker did in that time?

Oh, and before I forget, Will OOTP6 have intangibles as a trait?

Thank you in advance!

I think Barry would be a great homerun hitter in any era. Barry is just an amazing athlete who is using his years of experience to beat everyone not just physically but mentally. He has turned himself into a great clutch hitter.

I don't know if intangibles will be in the next version of OOTP but if they are serious about creating a realistic baseball simulation there should definitely be more weight put on the intagibles just like there is in real life.

Why did the Marlins win the series despite the Yankees having better intangibles and veteran leadership?

The Yankees did indeed have a better veterana presence but seemed to struggle during the World Series. The Marlins though during the series had better veteran leadership towards the end really anchored by Pudge Rodriguez. The Marlins also had a better team chemistry that really showed on the field. While the Yankees struggled the Marlins continued to battle. In the end though the Marlins just proved to have a better clutch ability. Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams can't carry the entire offense of the team and expect to win. There is no doubt in my mind the Yankees will be back next year but they have some holes they need to fix.

How clutch is Aaron Boone? I mean the guy bats .170 in the post season with bad defense, but in extra inning game 7's he homers in every at bat. Does it get anymore clutch than that?
