I suppose that IS a less desirable outcome than the Best Fans in Baseball being exposed the further into the postseason they advance.

I wouldn't mind a daily Deadspin article about the BFIB if we win the pennant again this season.

Every game is done!
So long regular season

Please stay healthy next season Pineda.

Well at least Red Sox didn't do as bad as 2012. I guess I should hope aboard the Royals bandwagon for the playoffs.

 

[Blearth]

Close this thread up! It smells bad.

McCutch is my NL MVP. Has the highest OPS in The NL and has made The Pirates relevant yet again.

Remember when the Pirates were so depressed over trading Nate McLouth and calling up McCutchen that they held a vigil in the clubhouse?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Has there ever been a franchise that finished in last place, won the WS the next season, and finished back in last place the next season? What did the 96/97/98 Marlins do?

Red Sox made history by winning 90 then losing 90 then winning 90 and losing 90 again in 4 consecutive seasons.

Please get us some bats somehow Jack Z. Like 3 of them.

Castro+Coghlan for Walker+spec?

I can't think of any in recent memory. 96 Marlins weren't that bad.

Yep, they're the first. 2013 Red Sox and 1997 Marlins are the only ones to win the World Series, then get last place the following season. Only the 2012-14 Red Sox went last -> WS -> last.

edit2: Giants didn't get last in 2013, they got fourth.

96 Marlins finished in 3rd. Then WS win the following year, then last place.

I wonder what the market will be for the Korean A-Rod, Kang.....

I think I heard that this will be the first time that has happened.

Another first this year besides Hughes (Minnesota) and his K/BB is Aroldis Chapman averaging 100 mph on a fastball throughout the season. Unless he tanked it recently he was on pace for that like two weeks ago.

Any more I'm missing?

I hate the Cards, but Deadspin takes it to another level. It's actually sad.

Back to back Cy Youngs is more than enough. I don't like pitchers hogging up awards.

 

[DrForester]

Rockies dig themselves out of last place and manage to finish second to last in their division.

Well played men. Well played!
