King Mayan · 03-23-12, 12:55 PM

Sammy he's my great grandpappy.

Of course i root for him.

Ethan1122 · 03-23-12, 12:56 PM

He's from the Philadelphia area and helped the Phils win a world series. I will always root for Moyer lol

TheMoneyShot · 03-23-12, 12:58 PM

I remember back when he was all over the place at the plate a few years ago... and had to just toss it over the middle on a few counts... he constantly got destroyed. When he started the game... the OVER was gold.

Dutchie · 03-23-12, 01:02 PM

do the rockies have a spot for him on the roster? will he accept a AAA assignment? what will the rare air do to his off speed stuff?

Brock Landers · 03-23-12, 01:03 PM

The guy needed to retire years ago

that is what your family has been saying about you and your gambling for the last 10 years most likely. Why shouldn't Moyer try to keep making $? He hasn't been too bad, and maybe he hates his wife?

Sam Odom · 03-23-12, 01:06 PM

Brock , you're a washed-up SBR poster before you are 49yo. Moyer is still in contention for a MLB pitching spot

Hard to believe he is doing this for the money - love of the game most likely. I wonder what his MLB pension would be with 24yrs in the league ?

TheMoneyShot · 03-23-12, 01:15 PM

Has he even made the team yet? If he does... I don't think he'll last. For these young kids coming up to the big leagues... Moyer is so hitable... It's like the ball is on a tee. How Moyer can get so locked in at times... I'll never know? But when the wheels come off in an inning... boy do they ever come off.

Arguably, Major League Baseball (“MLB”) offers one of the best pension and healthcare programs in all of sports. Players vest in their pensions after 43 days on the active roster and just one day qualifies a player for lifetime healthcare. Playing isn’t even a requirement, bench-warmers may qualify for benefits as well. After 43 days, players qualify for the minimum benefit of $34,000 per year and those with 10 years of service receive a pension of approximately $100,000 annually.

If you aren't on the OVER in his first start... you have issues.

HoulihansTX · 03-31-12, 08:16 AM

How bad are the guys that Moyer beat out for the 5th spot? They must have been total stiffs... Moyer cracking your rotation exposes a pure lack of talent on the roster. He has to pitch in Arizona, and Colorado which are both great places to tee off on horrific pitchers.

O/U on his ERA 6.5 by the All Star break at least 5 homers

HoulihansTX · 03-31-12, 08:18 AM

He will give up B2B jacks at least once B4 the break also.

Big Bear · 03-31-12, 08:23 AM

good for him. i hope he does well. i like to see guys like Jamie. the guy truely plays b/c he loves the game.

so many arrogant rooster suckers out there who just play for the money. cough cough .. Hanley Ramirez

What he said.

slambam · 03-31-12, 10:16 AM

Damn nice pension plan. Just 43 days on the roster gives you $34k/yr pension. Not like $34k is a ton, but for 43 days on the roster in crazy.

mh217 · 03-31-12, 10:17 AM

Fukk jamie moyer and fukk anyone rooting for him as a fan...put your money up and shut the fuk up until u do.

HoulihansTX · 03-31-12, 10:21 AM

His home life must be a wreck. Playing a sport with severely diminished skills is not a commendable attribute of anyone. Him making the Colorado roster, says more about the Colorado rotation than about Moyer.

We aren't really knocking the guy... he's 49 years old... if you can't get a base hit after base hit off of him... you don't deserve to play in the majors. I mean... Moyer is probably on cloud 9 right now... that sh#$ fades... he's 49 years old people... your teammates would laugh at you if you can't get on base against that guy.

Sam Odom · 03-31-12, 11:19 AM

Colorado may win the West this yr BECAUSE of Moyer

Teams have a strange way of Rallying around a guy in his situation

dudekid · 03-31-12, 11:20 AM

cant wait till he becomes available in yahoo so i can get him on my fantasy team

Chi_archie · 03-31-12, 11:27 AM

just not sure how Moyer's stuff is gonna work in the thin air

I'm rooting for him

but i'll be on the over's when he pitches in Colorado for sure

HoulihansTX · 03-31-12, 11:28 AM

Will Jamie Moyer be a rotational player after the All Star break?

No -490
Yes +393

Louisvillekid1 · 03-31-12, 11:30 AM

at 45 he said he was going to pitch to till he was 50...

He helped the phillies and I hope he comes back as a bullpen coach or something....

OMGRandyJackson · 03-31-12, 11:56 AM

He made the 2nd spot on the rotation not 5th btw. I don't expect him to do amazing but ill definitely root for the dude

Sam Odom · 04-18-12, 10:37 AM

Moyer fends off Father Time to notch win at 49

DENVER (AP) Jamie Moyer is headed to the Hall of Fame.

Well, maybe his uniform anyway. Or perhaps even his glove.

Cooperstown has asked for some sort of memorabilia from Moyer to commemorate his record-setting night as the 49-year-old left-hander became the oldest pitcher to ever win a major league contest.

And whatever the Hall of Fame decides it wants, Moyer said he will certainly deliver after throwing seven efficient innings to help the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 5-3 on Tuesday.
