[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

He had the Astros winning the central and the Phillies not making the playoffs... Wat

That list was filled with some very very silly picks, but that one may have been the champ.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

The 12 major league teams running out of fans

MLB has the five teams with the biggest decline...

Damn, that sucks even though baseball is the best sport to see in person.

 

[clemenx]

Ahh, the Rays start early today!

 

[ToxicAdam]

2011 Predictions:

AL East - Sawks
Central - Tigers
West - Rangers

Wild Card - Blue Jays (B-LEVE)

NL East - Phils
Central - Cards
West - Padres

Wild Card - Reds

I always suck at doing those. Proud of my Tigers pick, not many had them winning the Central.

Longo so good.

Must have had a nice night with his lady friend he picked up last night.

LOL White Sox, A's and Rockies. And that Braves pick was predicated on Heyward not being shit.

e: Holy shit what was I smoking, Phillies not making the playoffs... Had to have been a joke pick.

It will continue as there is no parity / salary cap.

Longo!

Doytch is an asshole at life, confirmed

Actually, it was confirmed when he posted about beating me in H2H while he was in Euroland with Czech girls. Dick.

 

[darkside31337]

Big Game Shields

more like No Game Shields

 

[Malo]

Damn it, Shields.

Was so worth not being able to be competitive in the pay league.

Also, this Bill James temperature rating thing is the stupidest POS ever. Jumped the shark total.

It's so fucking bad

 

[Windu]

I walk away for five minutes and Lowe gives up two runs. /booooo

 

[RBH]

I don't want to see Lowe in the playoffs.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Whew, CC needed that. Did you Encarcion running down the line 10 feet inside the basepath?

 

[Doytch]

Aviles :lol

Man that bunt call was terrrrrible. Scioscia-level. Hell, LaRussa-level.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Derek Lowe is not good at pitching.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

I like this Met lineup we have today for next year. Instead of Evans, Hopefully Ike Davis will be back.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Swisher! Hits! Runs! Offense!

edit: Chavez!

 

[Fenix]

Adam Lind finds new ways to piss me off every day.

Usually happens the day after your mangers calls the team a bunch of quitting pussies.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Ortiz is downright balmy right now.

 

[Fenix]

Probly not gonna happen.

Nice to see Dusty go 5 tonight.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Lowe yanked in the 3rd. :lol

 

[Doytch]

Probly not gonna happen.

Especially given that the Jays aren't giving out 6+ yr contracts anymore, acc to the Beest.

Watching BOS/TB, how was McGowan? Velo, command, etc.

 

[eznark]

Anyone know the tiebreaker situation for seeding? Do the Brewers need to finish ahead of Arizona?

1. Season series
2. Best winning percentage within the division

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Temperature gauge sounds horrible lol

 

[weekend_warrior]

ah, damn. CC looks awful today.

 

[Fenix]

I saw that contract talk, but didn't see a direct quote from Beest, still unlikely though.

Lambchops was sitting 93-35, hit 96 once or twice. Command much better than his previous outing, FB had decent movement on it. Dropped a beauty curve on Granderson. 2 BB and a few K I think.

Bautista's now 5 walks away from setting a new Jays record for BB in a season.

 

[weekend_warrior]

that guy on the jay blues runs like an idiot.

Having everyone hate Lawrie is awesome.

 

[Doytch]

Jennings has played in 51 games and has 6 3-hit games? I have no frame of reference on that stat, but it's hella impressive. I think.

David Wright's a pretty cool dude.

The guy should be high in ROY voting. Ever since he joined the Rays, they have been playing great baseball. And of course he has solid numbers.

 

[darkside31337]

Really Ump? Really?

 

[Windu]

David Wright's a pretty cool dude.

he's no MVP though.

 

[CajoleJuice]

Rays probably should have brought up Jennings earlier, but LEGEND OF SAM FULD and all that. ROFL

he's no MVP though.

goddamn it

 

[darkside31337]

Rays probably should have brought up Jennings earlier, but LEGEND OF SAM FULD and all that. ROFL

goddamn it

Actually it was all about service time.

Rays probably would have called him a couple weeks earlier but he broke his wrist right around when they could have first called him up.

But yeah SAM FULD and all that.

 

[Doytch]

he's no MVP though.

mets would probably be better off without him and jose reyes, if we're being completely serious.

Rays probably would have called him a couple weeks earlier but he broke his wrist right around when they could have first called him up.

dude he was avail well before they called him up. he was the toast of this town! everyone was talking about desmond jennings! (total lie.) he was avail well before they called him up though.

 

[eznark]

When did Josh Beckett get so fat?

 

[weekend_warrior]

Swisher! Clutch!!

 

[darkside31337]

When did Josh Beckett get so fat?

Thats what happens when you team up with Dice-K for a couple of years.

 

[Doytch]

When did Josh Beckett get so fat?

he turned 30. metabolism am cry.

 

[Fenix]

Jennings has played in 51 games and has 6 3-hit games? I have no frame of reference on that stat, but it's hella impressive. I think.

David Wright's a pretty cool dude.

Obscure stats: 38% of Jennings' base hits have gone for extra bases this year, 53% for Lawrie.

League average is 33%.

 

[eznark]

Fuck you (assuming this is a dig on my turning 30 today)

 

[Doytch]

Obscure stats: 38% of Jennings' base hits have gone for extra bases this year, 53% for Lawrie.

League average is 33%.

Course Jennings also used some of his 15 SB to turn singles into XBH.

Fuck you (assuming this is a dig on my turning 30 today)

i wish, had no idea. but grats on not dying, dude.

These two have been awesome man. AL East gets better and better.

True dat, both are beasts. I was surprised to find out Lawrie already has 7 SB.

 

[darkside31337]

It's gonna suck 5 years from now when both of them are wearing Yankees uniforms.
