I must be getting soft in my old age. I just started getting into baseball this week. I am watching Phillies/Cubbies right now (go Phils).

I just need to know what some of the abbreviations are for sommon statistics and I should be set. Anyone got a beginners link for baseball?

What is it about Pittsburgh that makes players down on their luck rediscover their mojo? Volquez didn't look half bad this game.

 

[CygnusXS]

Would have been nice to have gotten one of those runners in earlier.

 

[DietRob]

Hahaaaa.. Holy shit Brian Pena with a SB

At this rate Soriano is coming in. And it sucks.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

First loss feels bad. I was hoping to at least hit 5-0.

 

[3N16MA]

I will take some insurance runs.

 

[DietRob]

At least we didn't get swept by the Mets.

[jello44]

HOME RUNS EVERYWHERE.

Can Jered Weaver pitch tomorrow too?

 

[HerbertFish]

So sick of replay.


Everything goes against the Sox. Even when the replay shows it shouldn't.

 

[Dominican Power]

D Rob, don't do it.

 

[Pepiope]

The magician...He enjoys making games difficult.

 

[McNei1y]

I love going to baseball games

 

[Dominican Power]

A big fuck you to AJ Burnett.

 

[3N16MA]

Yankees win!

 

[Pepiope]

Yankees win!

Theee Yankees Win!

 

[sangreal]

At a bar without sound and that Melky swing scared the shit out of me

 

[Branduil]

Elvis!

 

[harSon]

Nice rebound game Pirates! Kind of bittersweet with the news about Tailon though... at least Volquez looked serviceable though.

A big fuck you to AJ Burnett.

It's a good thing that the rest of the Yankees pitching has the potential to be dynamite otherwise CC's transformation into a rotund 89-mph throwing stiff would be more concerning.

 

[Paches]

These kids with the whistles at the Athletics game are driving me fucking insane.

 

[McNei1y]

Classic Soriano

 

[Talon]

Meh. 2 out of 3 on the road, I'll take it.

 

[Paches]

Apparently the A's had a giveaway of 1000 whistles to the first people through the gate. brilliant idea, marketing team. This is almost unlistenable.

 

[jello44]

Now Villar hits a home run.

Something is in the Astros Gatorade.

 

[hemtae]

Is it bad that I already think the Red Sox won't come close to the world series again?

 

[Sanjuro]

Bring back Bobby V.

Fuck this. Fuck this so long and hard.

 

[Macattk15]

God damnit Almonte. No reason to try to take 3rd there.

Cano would have been up with men on 1st and 2nd. Wasted.

 

[RellyRell28]

So we swept the defending World Champs. I'll take it

 

[WesternHeretic]

God damnit Almonte. No reason to try to take 3rd there.

Cano would have been up with men on 1st and 2nd. Wasted.

Had to face palm so hard.


Edit: I like this Cano guy. Been so many years since we had someone like him.

 

[Macattk15]

Cano with a hustle double!

How dare he not hustle!

I really thought he was going to be out by a mile.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

So hope the Stros have the Angels number again this season....

 

[Chris R]

Run support!!!

 

[Paches]

I thought Cano wasn't in to hustling!

 

[McNei1y]

I'm afraid of the Marlins tbh

 

[CygnusXS]

Meh. 2 out of 3 on the road, I'll take it.

Yeah, hard to feel too bad about going 4-2 against Gallardo, Lohse, Garza, Zimmermann, Strasburg, and Jordan on the road.

A few extra runs and they could have gone 5-1 or 6-0. This team will be just fine.

 

[Macattk15]

Yep. Erasmo has been shitty today.

 

[rando14]

ugh, moss KILLS us

 

[jman2050]

Is it bad that I already think the Red Sox won't come close to the world series again?

It's baseball and their team is good so anything can happen, but last year literally every good thing that could have possibly happened to them did, and I wouldn't count on that type of thing happening again.

Also when Papi gets caught using that'll be the death knell for sure.

 

[UraMallas]

He was definitely safe at the bag. Still a good play by Miller.

 

[Peru]

i thought the cubs sold marmol..

 

[Velcro Fly]

Only the Cubs can go into the 9th up 8-1 and almost have the tying run on deck.

Why put Veras in? Why sign him at all? They win 8-3 and I'm pissed like they lost. This team is hopeless.

That sweet sensation of hearing a spirited 'go cubs go' totally undeserved after another near-loss.

 

[Chris R]

Can we get out of this with no runs please???

 

[Macattk15]

Alright get Erasmo out of there. He sucks ass today.

edit : And he keeps him in ... incoming loss.

 

[Chris R]

Doubt we can come back from this. Team has looked trash since the 3rd.

Almonte really fucked us taking the bat out of Cano's hands when we could have had a huge inning.

At least we benefit from the base running error just then.

Still down two though :|
