A's just signed manager Bob Melvin to a 3-year contract extension.

Look at Nova's location! LOL!

 

[Sanjuro]

What would NY's three man be? CC, Nova, Colon? Probably assuming too much that Girardi would skip AJ.

HERE LIES RAYS AGAIN

DEADER THAN BRETT MYERS' CAREER

 

[darkside31337]

Glad to see Yankees fans staying classy about it though.

TORONTO -- For the first time since the creation of the Rawlings Gold Glove Awards in 1957, outfielders will be chosen by designated position -- left, center and right -- in the selections by Major League managers and coaches.

Percentage chance the Nationals get a winning record? Gotta be creeping towards .2%!

what? we should feel sorry for them?

 

[talisayNon]

New York sucks. GO LOS TIGRES DE

 

[eznark]

That's pretty stupid.

Why? Should they just give an infield gold glove?

 

[darkside31337]

Why? Should they just give an infield gold glove?

Yes. Pitchers and 1B don't deserve them.

 

[eznark]

Yes. Pitchers and 1B don't deserve them.

Only shortstops and center fielders.

Brilliant!

And Ryan Zimmerman.

my god, Flair looks wasted......

 

[eznark]

Huh. I had no idea Ric Flair was a midget.

And Ryan Zimmerman.

Who?

 

[Windu]

That's pretty stupid.

they are three different positions so i think this is the best way to do it. Although it won't matter though, they will just give the GGs to the players with the most HRs anyway.

 

[darkside31337]

Something fitting about seeing Dustin Pedroia holding a TNA Heavyweight title belt. The champs are not here.

Gimme dat gold glove!!

Thankfully Prince Fielder does not lead NL 1B in homers.

Until the Yankees take care of their own business, no sympathy for them in this matchup.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Because that's fucking stupid is why. The best outfielder for every team plays centerfield. That's just the way it is. Giving an award to to the left/right fielders is the same as saying "Well you're not a good enough outfielder to play center on your own team, but here's a gold glove anyway." What sense does that make?

Fielder is more deserving of a gold glove than Braun.

Ok. The best fielder plays short stop. Doesn't change the fact that each position gets a Gold Glove distinction except for LF/RF/CF. The award isn't give to best overall fielder, it is given to best fielder at each position. It makes zero sense to give an award for each position then arbitrarily lump each outfielder into the same generic OF spot.

I have no clue what the hell has been with the Phillies the last couple of games. I guess better this stuff now than in the playoffs.

 

[hemtae]

Oh god, Bard is scaring me

 

[TangMeng]

That noise is driving me crazy. Stop!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Mike Pelfrey. I should have known better.

You really are screwed if you're depending on Mike Pelfrey for anything.

You can't compare the difference between left/right field and 1st/3rd/SS. It takes a different skill set to play each infield position. The outfield is the outfield. It's the same thing, the very minor differences don't mean much. A player only plays the side outfield positions if they're not good enough to play center. It doesn't make sense to award that.

 

[Snaku]

Fuck this fucking division. Two teams who can buy whoever the fuck they want, and whomever comes in second gets the AL wild card. The odds are so stacked against Tampa, Toronto, and Baltimore it's asinine.

It doesn't make sense to lump three different positions in together while splitting out the rest. No first basemen is a better fielder than a center fielder. Why should first basemen get a gold glove? No pitcher is a better hitter than a left fielder. Why should pitchers get a silver slugger?

Although I do love your righteous indignation over such a hilariously minor issue. Reminds me of me.

Rays will be fine. Won the AL East 2 out of the last 3 years. This was supposed to be a down year for the Rays and they're in it till the very end.

IVAN NOVA shut you guys down. Money argument is invalid.

This.

Baltimore sucks because they suck.
Toronto sucks because they're rebuilding - they're coming up.
The Rays are a contender now - it's not just Boston and the Yankees.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

OH SHIT THEY CAME THROUGH! PAPELBLOWN!!!

 

[darkside31337]

Thank you very much Red Sox. Rays might only have to win 2 more games for the rest of the year to get in at this rate.

 

[Windu]

This.

Baltimore sucks because they suck.
Toronto sucks because they're rebuilding - they're coming up.
The Rays are a contender now - it's not just Boston and the Yankees.

but still, they are the third best team in the AL and might not be going to the playoffs. Get rid of the divisions and just take the top 4 teams.

 

[diddles]

i'm an orioles fan tonight!

Did Sanjuro kick another hole in his wall?

Till Boston and New York cherry pick our best players with obscene paychecks. Back to square fucking one again, playing against our own talent as they enter their prime.

 

[Windu]

so this rooting for the mets thing. how does this work? do i just give up now or do i continue watching with the belief that they might win but have my dreams crushed right before my eyes?
