I absolutely HATE when people say they "purchased" their team. Newsflash: EVERY TEAM PURCHASES THEIR TEAM. Guess what? Whether you're the Royals or the Yankees, you PAY EVERY SINGLE PLAYER. So I guess when you're on the Rays they don't pay their players because they are a small market team? I guess Evan Longoria is playing for free, or did you miss him signing a 100 million dollar extension?

Every team plays their players, signs free-agents, therefore PURCHASED their teams. It pisses me off beyond belief when people say this ignorant comment.

Congrats Bucco fans, you guys deserve some baseball love. The Gods haven't treated you well in sometime.

When will we find out who's on cover for Canadian version of the game? Or will there be a vote for the cover as well?

Yeah but he'd win in a landslide.

Are you kidding me? This comment is extremely laughable. The entire team collapsed at the end of the season. McCutchen was ranked at-worst 7th in the NL in every significant offensive category. He hit 31 HR, 96 RBI and batted over .325 for the year. Not only that, but he won a golden glove AND he was the SILVER SLUGGER for the National League. Oh, I forgot, anyone can win a Silver Slugger, right? The man had 30+ HR, nearly 100 RBI, 20 SB and hit over .325; how is that anything but superb? How is he supposed to carry a team with those kinds of numbers; but as a team, they were bottom 10 in every significant offensive category? McCutchen literally carried the Pirates; how can you possibly blame him for missing the playoffs? Your comment may be the most mis-guided sports post I've seen in quite some time.
