AHAHAHAHAHAH

 

[ZackusMaximus]

Bitter sweet win for the O's with Markakis breaking his thumb and being out for the next 6 weeks.

Who's that, the idiot that kept asking about CC?

 

[Dominican Power]

Who is AL comeback player of the year? Why, it HAS to be Adam Dunn, after that humiliating season last year.

Alex Rios?

GOSE!

[Future Foundation]

they got robbed,not beat.

The call was bad, but CC wasn't as great as he should've been and the offense shit themselves with RISP. 1 for 9, eight runners left one.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Do it for bRandon!

 

[Carlbeego]

Yankees gonna clean house next year and I can't wait.

And they're out of last place!

It's amazing what happens when you get (most of) your players back.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Saw the Yankees/Orioles finish. Whatever. Anybody who slides into first base should be automatically called out anyways.

Tex hurt his calf on the play man. No choice.

[sf2fanatic]

Alex Rios?

Yeah it has to be...Better stats than Dunn

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Orioles magic making crazy calls happen! Love it.

We'll miss Nick, he was absolutely raking. Time to throw Avery out there again at lead off.

 

[cashman]

pretty sick

 

[Mr. Enigma]

One more win and we start tracking the Brewers. Only 5.0 out of the 2nd Wild Card.

 

[Malo]

I just saw the final out of the game and wow.

Where the fuck are the robot umps? Fuck you Jerry Meals.

 

[cashman]

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[RBH]

 

[The Frankman]

That's what you get for sliding into 1st. Dumbass.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Apparently Girardi and Joel Sherman had to be separated.

AHAHAHAHAHAH

lol, I remember when he(Girardi) got beat up by a Seattle pitcher in 98-99 or so. Rodriguez was the guy's last name. Girardi can't fight for shit.

The call was bad, but CC wasn't as great as he should've been and the offense shit themselves with RISP. 1 for 9, eight runners left one.

pretty much. they can't hit with RISP worth a damn. and CC has been shitting the bed the last three starts. here's a hint CC, hold the lead for once you fat fuck.

Saw the Yankees/Orioles finish. Whatever. Anybody who slides into first base should be automatically called out anyways.

That's what you get for sliding into 1st. Dumbass.

yeah sliding into first is dumb,no doubt. specially a man who just came back from a wrist injury. but he was still safe.

 

[Madtown_]

One more win and we start tracking the Brewers. Only 5.0 out of the 2nd Wild Card.

Who is the 'we'? Us, here? Just wondering.

If the crew does win tomorrow I might start believing.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

also, Shut up Michael kay. just.... shut up.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

My glorious wall of text.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Just saw the last out of the Angels/Tigers game....


Trout MVP!!!!!!

 

[Branduil]

It's going to suck so much when Profar gets benched for the entire postseason.

 

[McNei1y]

Who is AL comeback player of the year? Why, it HAS to be Adam Dunn, after that humiliating season last year.

Adam Dunn easily.

Also, I loved seeing the "Reds Win" gifs but it reminded me of this:

not sure how to speed gifs up though.

 

[Carlbeego]

also, Shut up Michael kay. just.... shut up.

Tex had a calf injury. He injured it again, that's why he slid.

A-Rod had the wrist injury.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Adam Dunn easily.

Also, I loved seeing the "Reds Win" gifs but it reminded me of this:

no it's perfect slow.

Tex had a calf injury. He injured it again, that's why he slid.

A-Rod had the wrist injury.

oh, ok. mix up on my part but still, fucking sliding. and just not driving the ball and ... GAH!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Maybe Tex should have hit something more than a shitty little infield dribbler, like a $20 million a year player is supposed to.

 

[A.E Suggs]

I'm mad the cards lost again today to the brewers that makes 3 games straight. I'm not buying a ticket to the game sunday, I don't pay to see them lose fuck that!! Regardless I'll be there live again when we take this season just like we took last year.

 

[yankeehater]

One more win and we start tracking the Brewers. Only 5.0 out of the 2nd Wild Card.

Phils are only 1.5 behind the Brewers. Hopefully after today they will only be 5 out.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Yeah it has to be...Better stats than Dunn

I don't think you fully appreciate just how BAD Dunn was last year, though.

Also, Jay Bruce has hit a HR in 7 of his last 9 games. WTF.

 

[sangreal]

Has Jerry Meals been fired yet?

 

[Windu]

I'm mad the cards lost again today to the brewers that makes 3 games straight. I'm not buying a ticket to the game sunday, I don't pay to see them lose fuck that!! Regardless I'll be there live again when we take this season just like we took last year.

through thick and thin.

 

[Madtown_]

So right now who would win the NL MVP? I'm obviously a biased homer but I feel like Braun has a decent case, even moreso statistically speaking. Unfortunately he probably get a many votes, but who do you guys think will take it?

 

[Windu]

Braun should be the favorite but voters like to base it on team performance and there was that whole steroid controversy last season so i don't know who will win.

Looking at the candidates, you have wright who is on a shitty team. Bourn and Heyward where a lot of their value comes from baserunning and fielding. Headley, shitty team. McCutchen, on a shitty team...but its the pirates who are never anything but shitty. And Posey who is on a good team but almosf 2 wins less than braun.

I'd say McCutchen or Posey.

 

[Madtown_]

McCutchen seemed like a lock a month ago but he hasn't done much lately and the Pirates are tanking.

At this point I think you're right and it would be Posey.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Braun then Posey. Wonder how many votes Kimbrel and Chapman get.
Also, damn Brett Anderson has been solid since coming back. Rays and As have young pitching for days.

 

[darkside31337]

Too bad the Rays have no offense.

Archer looked nasty last night. They already have too many arms in the rotation as is, at some point the team is going to have to move something for some bats.

 

[eznark]

McCutcheon no longer has even a slight chance. It will be Braun v. West Coast writers. Since Braun alienated a lot of holier than though east coast twats by refusing to lay down and get railroaded by the league he won't have the same East Coast Bias support that he had last year.

I think he'll have to go on an amazing tear and finish with 50 home runs AND have the Brewers finish over .500 to have a shot. Bosey is a lock.

Braun is far and away the most "valuable" player in the national league this year though.

 

[RobotHaus]

I'm mad the cards lost again today to the brewers that makes 3 games straight. I'm not buying a ticket to the game sunday, I don't pay to see them lose fuck that!! Regardless I'll be there live again when we take this season just like we took last year.

Stop that Rook, we don't want your fairweather antics polluting the thread.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Phils are only 1.5 behind the Brewers. Hopefully after today they will only be 5 out.

Yep. People need to keep their eyes on the Brewers and the Phillies. Something's up with them.

 

[newjeruse]

Kinda amazing that people are spelling Andrew McCutchen's name wrong.

 

[yankeehater]

I would vote for Chapman for MVP, Reds are running away with their division and their bullpen is a huge part of that.

Jesus christ. Verlander was bad enough last season.

 

[cashman]

Verlander deserved it though.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Verlander deserved it though.

He had a good case but MVP shouldnt go to pitchers.

 

[Jubs]

A Prado sac bunt? Man, fuck you Fredi.
