YANIQUIS WIN YANIQUIS WIN!!!!

I will murder you if they don't.

Edit: Yankees win! No murdering today.

 

[RGVNOE]

They are like 9 or 10 games ahead of the Dbacks. It'd take a epic collapse dude.

It's starting to get there, they're not hitting lately, Matheny has been mismanaging quite a bit, plus pitching has been horrible outside of Kelly and tonight's start by Wacha, all those combined could lead to it. I love my Cards and will continue to cheer for them, but they really dont have a team to compete in the playoffs as they are now.

 

[Dominican Power]

I will murder you if they don't.

 

[Doomsayer]

Jesus Christ Crawful.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Rangers still can't do shit with RISP

 

[Malo]

Next time... Next time

 

[kingdaddy157]

Nuñezeffect's broken English won this game for the Yankees.

 

[Dominican Power]

Yesterday was so pathetic. My gahd.

 

[jakncoke]

woot 3-2

Also Dbacks are down 5 in the 3rd in tonights game . So yeah..

 

[eznark]

I feel like the Pirates acquired Byrd specifically for this series. Brewer killer.

Oh well, I'm happy for Pirates fans. Once your team breaks .500 it's a whole new world of baseball, optimism, and deep, depressing disappointment unlike anything you have felt before.

They just had a stretch before this road trip where they won 12 of 16. That was last week. Now they've dropped 4 of 5 to the Pirates and Reds. 15 of their last 22 are at home, and they finish the season with 19 games against non-playoff, sub .500 scrubs. Too early to really start stressing about a collapse.

You're right about the playoffs though; they have zero chance of winning a series if they keep playing like this.

 

[jakncoke]

Man whoever keeps yelling. Is really fucking annoying me.

Also gaby still is terrible

 

[RGVNOE]

I really hope they keep a spot and make it, but you know i see my team everyday and I'm just being real they've been horrible for a good while and our FO didn't care to make any upgrades to areas of clear need.

good luck to you guy's, and congrats on .500+ season

 

[Lambtron]

I say this as someone who has watched at least 75% of the Twins games this season: The Houston Astros are fucking terrible.

 

[eznark]

KINSLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

YOU STILL SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

dude Cards Struggle against sub .500 teams, and right now they struggle against the contenders, which is the teams they would have to face in playoffs, so like i said they dont have a team geared for a playoff run.

 

[jakncoke]

ffffffffffff

 

[cr_blah_blah]

terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible Rangers

1st and 3rd, 1 out, no runs
2nd and 3rd, 1 out, no runs

 

[cashman]

This is fucking pathetic.

 

[jakncoke]

woooot

 

[Triangulate]

What? They're 43-21 against sub .500 NL teams this season.

That includes 10-3 vs Brewers (6 games left) and they swept the Nats in Washington (Nationals are actually 2 over .500 right now and we'll see where they are the end of the month when they play 3 in STL).

The reason I said not to worry about a collapse is because they destroy weak teams. They just can't beat good teams consistently, which is why I agreed with you about the playoffs.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Hey hey hey hey we're still alive another day

 

[jakncoke]

This guy at the game is so obnoxious

I didn't say they cant beat sub .500 teams I said they struggle against them yes they win, but it's never easy they're always close games with the exception of a few blowout here and there, and the blowouts have gone both ways

 

[harSon]

Snider actually hit a homerun?

 

[jakncoke]

Snider actually got a hit?

homerun or hit has been Snider issue lol

dat career .242 average and .218 on the year.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

What the fuck Paco.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Chapman, when used in important situations and well-rested is unhittable.

Chapman, when used in 6 straight games because of save situations? Not so hot.

 

[JDHarbs]

Hey hey hey hey we're still alive another day

The roller-coaster continues. A week ago it looked like we might fall below .500 again, but now we're within 4 games of the wild card.

 

[jakncoke]

1 out till the 1st .500 season in 20 years omg history.

edit; history shal wait. fuck you scooter. fucking stupid hillbilly name

 

[Sanjuro]

1 out till the 1st .500 season in 20 years omg history.

 

[jakncoke]

baby steps. its called baby steps. you have to reach .500 for the first time in 20 years before you reach winning season, playoff spot, hopefully division and then whatever we do in the playoffs(if we make)

.500!

 

[lazybones18]

.500 season!

 

[vas_a_morir]

baby steps. its called baby steps. you have to reach .500 for the first time in 20 years before you reach winning season, playoff spot, hopefully division and then whatever we do in the playoffs(if we make)

There is no way the Pirates miss the playoffs. That's a Vastradamas *stamp sound* Prophecy!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Punto saves the day!

 

[Sanjuro]

Keep Dr. Marvin on speed-dial.

So you're saying they win close games, with some blowouts that go both ways. That sounds suspiciously like a 162 game baseball season.

They're +22 against weak teams. They have 19 games left against weak teams. I guess I just don't see the sky falling quite yet.

ETA: Grats, Pirates. Kinda glad you didn't get 81 against the Cards..

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Oooh that's a big stamp!

 

[Meier]

I jinxed Paco by praising him too much.

 

[eznark]

Congratulations Pirates!

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Rangers with a big hit, finally

 

[3N16MA]

Great game. Now it's time for the Rays to choke.

 

[Branduil]

Rangers with a big hit, finally

The funny thing is that it still doesn't count as a hit with RISP.

 

[Meier]

Helluva night for Punto. Shame about the heart of the order sucking ass.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

The funny thing is that it still doesn't count as a hit with RISP.

That's true. 2 runs and still no hit with RISP. Now back to 1st and 3rd with 1 out, again.

 

[3N16MA]

Hughes to the pen where he might actually be useful.

yes that's how baseball goes, but I don't just look at W & L record I see how they play and most of those games are just hard to watch mainly because of our Manager and his Inexperience. In any case it would mater because they cant beat the Reds, Pirates, LA, or ATL which are the teams they would be seeing in the playoffs, they dont have a team for the playoffs. And that +22 is from very early in the season they were 57 - 36 before the AS game, they are 22 - 23 since then. They're playing sub .500 baseball themselves, so lately they've lost more games against those team than you'd think.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Well, at least it's a RBI with RISP? Barely.

It only took a million times! A hit!

 

[Branduil]

First RBI hit with RISP in forever, LOL.
