[HarryDemeanor]

It was all thanks to your unwavering support.

You're right. I've been shitting all over them today. Why am I even celebrating? They should've done this yesterday!

 

[dmag1223]

Gross. Going to need Bottom of the 9th to beat this team. They gave the Reds fits too, apparently.

We swept them and outscored them 22-6 in the series.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

We swept them and outscored them 22-6 in the series.

and they also took you to extra innings last night. Was my point. This better be 'that' game for us.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Welp.

Time for a new avatar. Yankeehater, don me, sir.

smh

You guys will sweep. The Astros are a special kind of awful.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol Brantley.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Someone gif that Blue Jay celebration

 

[Carlbeego]

Gonna go cry my way to the gym

 

[ratcliffja]

Love ya man.

WE DID IT DODGERBROS!

I love everybody.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Ugh, extras. No excuse for this.

 

[alr1ght]

Lol. Thats why you suck, Astros.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Lol. Thats why you suck, Astros.

That's the sad thing, they're TRYING to lose the game, and they're still in it.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

damn Astros r a fucking joke. terrible

 

[A Pretty Panda]

This guys on YES called The Dodgers the Yankees

 

[sangreal]

glad I didn't watch tonight. Joe really let Joba pitch again? smh

 

[HarryDemeanor]

This guys on YES called The Dodgers the Yankees

Magic Johnson got his wish.

I love everybody.

I'll stop being angry.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Weird to hear sports casters talk about Hiroshi Yamauchi and Nintendo.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

The joke is the Indians tonight. Can't believe how awful they're playing tonight. I can't imagine Houston's trying THAT hard to win with the draft pick on the line. Meanwhile the Indians need this game.

 

[ratcliffja]

Magic Johnson got his wish.

I'll stop being angry.

This is a magical day indeed. High fives all around.

 

[jello44]

 

[lazybones18]

I think the Rays and Rangers were just toying with the other teams in contention during their series

 

[Askani]

Oh c'mon Astros, Jesus.

I've already resigned myself to the fact that Cleveland is going to be a WC team...but Houston could at least act like a Major League Team just once this season and leave it in question.

At least the Yankees, Baltimore and Tampa are losing or have lost. Still at good day for the Royals.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Good to get the win, but it shouldn't be that hard, guys.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Stay salty Dbacks!!!!


Mitch Williams being a class act? wtf? lol Stop lying man you would jump the fence too and jump in the pool


E: Mr E, i'm looking forward to the updated standings. Throw that x in front of our team...


Yes!!!
Yes!!!
Yes!!!

Coco Crisp is a man possessed.

league was good in relief today

wonder if he makes the playoff roster

 

[RBH]

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks were upset after roughly half of the players on the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated clinching the NL West title on Thursday by jumping into the pool at Chase Field.

Diamondbacks president and CEO Derrick Hall said in a statement to the Arizona Republic, "I could call it disrespectful and classless, but they don't have a beautiful pool at their old park and must have really wanted to see what one was like."

The Diamondbacks had asked the Dodgers to keep their players from returning to the field once the division-clinching celebration began. After the Dodgers' 7-6 win, the team high-fived and gathered briefly at second base before it filed into the clubhouse, where champagne and beer flew.

A few minutes later, players began running toward the pool beyond the right-center field wall and scaling it.

The Dodgers misunderstood the intent of the Diamondbacks' request, according to team president Stan Kasten. He thought they were asking Dodgers players not to celebrate raucously in front of Diamondbacks fans. By the time the players took the plunge, the stadium was largely empty.

"I've never been around a celebration like this that didn't get excited and a little bit boisterous," Kasten said.

Diamondbacks infielder Willie Bloomquist was the most vocal critic of the Dodgers' actions.

"I think it's tired and disrespectful," Bloomquist said. "It's surprising, because they have a lot of veteran guys on that team that I thought were classier than that."

Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon McCarthy hopes it's his team doing the partying in the pool next year.

Celebrating is fun. I don't care how and where you do it. Only thing to care about is what we need to do to celebrate in our pool next year.

— Brandon McCarthy (@BMcCarthy32) September 19, 2013

Nick Punto was the first to cannon-ball into the pool. Yasiel Puig later took a belly-flop, arms outspread.

Haha, a guy who posts on another Tiger's forum I go to was the one that had his nacho swiped.

Stan Kasten is the President of the Doyers?

He's in. I think the odd man out is gonna be a starting pitcher... Like Fife

 

[yankeehater]

Welp.

Time for a new avatar. Yankeehater, don me, sir.

Hey man I am at work and cant resize this, I am not sure if it will work as is or not, if not I can resize it when I get home. I didnt want to do anything to crazy since it wound up being much closer then I thought it would be.

GRRR YOU CELEBRATED IN OUR POOL WE GONNA HIT YOU IN THE HEAD WITH A FASTBALL

1) It's a public pool in the ballpark, and they made sure to jump in when the park was cleared out. NOt only that, they were polite enough to ask beforehand.
2) You want to stop it? Win the game. No one wants to celebrate on the road, when the Mets clinched in 2006 they got swept in Pittsburgh in mid-September. Many of the players said after the season ended once they got behind in all 3 games they really didn't try that hard to win.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Since the All-star break, Ubaldo Jimenez is the best pitcher in the American League. 1.77 ERA and 2.40 FIP. With a strikeout percentage only second to Darvish.


Seemed impossible to imagine back in May/June.



Indians win another trade.
Alex White
Drew Pomeranz

Damn, I really thought Pomeranz was going to be special. I guess Coors field ruined him.

heyward is back. /cheer

 

[Meier]

I don't really get the bitching about jumping in the pool but whatevs. Sour grapes.

 

[Malvingt2]

heyward is back. /cheer

great news.

 

[eznark]

If there is a worst organization than the Diamondbacks in all of sports I can't think of it. What a bunch of whiny little cunt douchebags.

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Tomorrow's news story out of Arizona: "Diamondbacks upset by Dodgers classless act of having a better record than they do."

 

[XiaNaphryz]

So if history repeats, either:

A) Giants win the World Series next season to continue the Win/Suck/Win pattern
B) the Dodgers will reach the NCLS and lose this season and do it again next season before the Giants win the World Series in 2015

That's more tame than I expected but I'll wear it with pride.

Heyward is back and good things appear to be happening again.

Heyward is back and good things appear to be happening again.

playing the cubs always helps.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I'm glad they finally got away from the idea Heyward was supposed to be an RBI machine. Anyone that approaches a .400 OBP every year like he does needs to be at the top. Period.

yep. I love the Heyward, Upton, Freeman, McCann/Gattis lineup.
