what does that even mean overrated? do they rate him too much? do they talk about him too much? imagine that, the writers like writing about a guy who didn't shoot up drugs, shoot people, fuck people over over (that we know) you're not smart by saying that. and you're dumb by saying he's not a good baseball player. by nearly every metric he's good. better than good.

Yeah better than good, great. But not OMGBESTBASEBALLPLAYEREVA that people who don't really follow baseball and only keep up with the yankees like to say.

you mean one of the best shortstops of all time? its a shame you arent a baseball fan. its a good game.

Sure, but his reputation is way overblown when compared to guys like Baggwell, Ripken, Griffey, Maddux, Randy Johnson, A rod, Pedro, or Glavine.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

I wonder if Matheny will remove Waino if the reds hold on

He will still start, but they obviously won't have him go as deep as usual.

Which is fine, I think. NLDS game 1 is normal rest for him anyway

 

[JABEE]

That could be Howard's last at-bat as a Phillie. Bloop single.

 

[RGVNOE]

The Nationals are the Team of Destiny this year, so that won't happen.

Not trying to be a downer, but didn't they say the same thing the last time they made playoffs with over 100 wins, only to get eliminated in the division series

 

[JDHarbs]

Twins gave us a gift yesterday and we failed to take advantage of it. We still took this race down to the wire though. Amazing season. We'll see Oakland or Seattle in the Wild Card. Prepare to enter an electric stadium on Tuesday.

nobody is comparing him to them.
period. full stop. nobody has done that. not baseball savvy people, not casuals.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

shit guess the Cards and Tigers are going to win. oh well...
nice! greatest Yankee ever Bernie Williams playing take me out to the ball game.

 

[lazybones18]

Didn't know Bernie Williams played guitar

 

[RumblingRosco]

Thanks Pirates, yay Cards, and I will miss you Derek <3. I look forward to seeing him as a commentator for ESPN or wherever in the future.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Cards vs Dodgers nlds. A rematch of last year's nlcs.

Kerehaw and Grienke in a short series.......this is going to be tough.

 

[brianjones]

juan uribe.. dodger skipper

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Kerehaw and Grienke in a short series.......this is going to be tough.

I'd say greinke is more dangerous than kershaw given their postseason track record.

 

[BFIB]

Mathenys B lineup now in. Taveras gets a start!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

has a couple of albums and everything. I think he really is my favorite Yankee.

 

[Dominican Power]

That performance was fucking terrible. Should of done it with an electric guitar. I hate how The Yankees and the media have disrespected Bernie though. It's like he's an after thought. Bernie never switched sides, unlike Andy.

 

[jello44]

Yay Altuve won the batting title.

Next year will be fun.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Kerehaw and Grienke in a short series.......this is going to be tough.

Every playoff team is going to have good pitching so the Cards lineup will have a tough hill to climb either way.

 

[Dominican Power]

Fuck Girardi and this asshole reliever for fucking up Pineda's outing. Fucking shit head.

 

[distantmantra]

So bummed that we've put ourselves in a position where we need to rely on another team to win. :-(

Go M's.

I thought it was very nice, love acoustic. but yeah Bernie has been dissed.
and look at that, typical Yankee/Red Sox outing.

 

[BFIB]

Ha, my MLB The Show season has the exact same playoff setup.

 

[ReignofSparrows]

Fuck the Rangers.

 

[Dominican Power]

It's ridiculous that the playoffs are now on cable television. What the fuck is Bed Selig thinking?

 

[lazybones18]

Rangers couldn't get it done

 

[KidA Seven]

Kerehaw and Grienke in a short series.......this is going to be tough.

It will be interesting. Wainwright seems to be in great form right now, while Kershaw isn't at his best right now.

 

[BFIB]

Have the start times been released?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Nats got a no-no to end the season? Damn.

 

[Joey Fox]

Not trying to be a downer, but didn't they say the same thing the last time they made playoffs with over 100 wins, only to get eliminated in the division series

I think that team was just happy to be there. This one fights every time they're behind in a game. Ask Giants or Dodgers fans. They know how to win and finished exponentially harder than in 2012.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Come on Mariners, come on Rangers!

 

[Choomp]

Damn, Game 162 crazy as always. I was at the Mets game and it was probably the happiest I was at a baseball game. Abreu had a really nice moment, and I'm really pumped for Lucas Duda on his 30th with his last AB. Hopefully the feeling from the end of this season goes into the off-season and next season.

Really excited for the offseason. Cheering for play-in games as usual.

lol i was at the game also! crowd was into the game today. nice buzz around the team for next year, cant wait! also i found a casey stengel bobblehead outside after the game woohoo!!

 

[McNei1y]

Omg what a day what a finish to the season what a momentum builder. Ahhhh now I gotta wait until friday! I really hope the game is at least at 4 so I don't have to take off work to attend. 7 would be best.

Dammit I love baseball

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

aint nobody watching in broadcast. atleast the cable ratings for the playoffs are pretty good.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Dodgers should really have that giant Tommy Lasorda bobblehead curse randomly with people nearby.

 

[Macattk15]

Sure. Now the Rangers bring in Holland. Bitches.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

wat

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Come on Rangers, why do you suck?

 

[cashman]

Mariners fans are the worst.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

damn the saddest day of the season for me is the end of the Baseball season.
probably just reminds me my dad is not around to see it anymore...

 

[Macattk15]

Mariners fans are the worst.

Texas Rangers are the worst. Can't win games that matter.

1 strike away from a WS victory. Can't win. Need to beat the A's. Can't win.

Team sucks.

 

[distantmantra]

We shouldn't be relying on Texas winning a game for us.

 

[Macattk15]

We shouldn't be relying on Texas winning a game for us.

Oh I agree. We put ourselves here when we couldn't beat the shitty Astros and Rangers.

 

[cashman]

Yeah they've beaten the A's in 5 out of 7 games as one of the worst teams in baseball. Blame the Mariners for wasting the career of an all time great

Hey. He could join the Rangers and feel the exact same thing he has felt on the Mariners.

Like make the playoffs?

 

[Macattk15]

Like make the playoffs?

And still end up with the same hardware the Mariners receive at the end of their shitty seasons.

Nothing.

 

[cashman]

You missed it by one game M's fans!! So close!!!
