Discuss baseball and all that jazz.

Brad Lidge sucks...

[booom]

I'm honestly that big of a baseball fan. I follow it a little, well only when i see it on ESPN.

Baseball is by far the most boring sport, imo.

Baseball is by far the most boring sport, imo.
baseball games are the best sporting event to go to imo.

as for watching it on tv, there is so much strategy involved in a baseball game that makes it interesting to watch. I could only watch the yankees, though. other teams just don't interest me.

Must suck to watch a losing team year after year.

[tubby]

the last time the yankees had a losing season was before i was born.

[Hobeawr]

I don't know how you think the yankees are interesting. It's never their prospects that ever end up doing anything they really need, they just go buy everything else and still end up not winning it all.

Look at a team like the rays that can build an entire team through the draft and making other teams do stupid stuff in trades and thats whats the most interesting to me.

[tubby]

i'm a yankee fan brah

baseball isn't like football to me where i can watch any teams in any game.

i care about the yankees, so i only watch the yankees.

more like gayseball

[Dutycalls]

I'm so glad Manny left Boston before his fertility drug was found. Fuck, that would've boned the Sox via media SO hard.

[x A n D y]

Jayson Bay isn't that bad of a trade off either.

[Hobeawr]

Rockies making a huge run lol

I like him better to be honest. Plus he's got my number.

sanchez just pitched a no hitter, watched it live on baseball tonight......THIS people, is why baseball is so amazing

although that sucks dick that the 3rd baseman booted that ground ball in the 8th that ruined the perfect game

I'd be so pissed at that guy, yet give the guy who caught that deep fly a ZJ.

You know what I also love about going to baseball games, All the foul ball and home run shenanigans. Baseball is probably the only sport where the crowd can be part of the highlights by making a funny/awesome catch.

[tubby]

dem yanks can't be stopped
Lulz, yanks.
the sox are 8-0 against the yanks yet only 1 game up in the division

something is telling me that yankees aren't going to lose every game against the sox.

you best get ready to hold off them rays for the wild card.

[Looter]

This girl I'm on the phone with says Band is a sport and baseball isn't.

HAHAHAHAH.

[bosoxdanc]

Dodgers won't get past the Phillies.

[HEWBANGER]

If J.P. Riccardi trades Toronto's favourite son (that isn't a maple gay leaf) the entire fan base will seriously be let down. He is one of the classiest athletes in any major sport. He's one of the hardest working and most dedicated teammates and community members. I'm getting teary righting this, I could care less about Drabek and whoever else, Roy Halladay is our team, he is the face of the franchise, and is the only reason American networks will even contemplate talking about da jayz. If he goes to the Phillies, that is as close to guarunteeing a world series as it can get.

I wuv you roy.

[FE Thebox]

Inge didn't hit a single homer in the home run derby..

I knew Tubby would be a Yankees fan.

[Looter]

Nelly made a good catch in the Legends Celebrity game.

Oh and Shawn Johnson is a cutie.

being that i live 20 minutes from the bronx it's a given

[tubby]

mo closing that shit out like a boss

[Fr0sTBitE]

It's hard not to be a Yankees fan when you grow up nearby and experience the crowd there. I've been to like 10-15 Yankee games including ASG and one WS and it's always an amazing time. I got to see them get No-Hit by the Astros, everyone in my section wanted to see it haha.

ot- Edwin Jackson is a boss

couldnt win yesterday though =)

a-rod and tex coming in clutch

[Czechy]

Kemp coming up clutch as well. THAAAA DOOOOOOOODGAZ

[tubby]

only teams i can possibly see winning it this year are the sox, dodgers, yankees, and phillies in that order

[Czechy]

Jason Schmidt in the house tonight. He's gonna beast it.

[Looter]

Agreed.



That is probably the only time I've agreed with you on a baseball statement.

[tubby]

my fault i meant to switch the yanks and the sox


if the yankees pitching can stay as strong as its been recently the rest of the league is done for

[Hobeawr]

I've never wanted to say the phillies are the best because they shouldn't have even won last year, but jeez their team just looks so much more put together than anything else out there. Even with that pitching you just think theyll get another Joe Blanton performance in the playoffs. Anyways I hate how their outfield really shouldn't be real with Werth and Ibanez outperforming and any team without starters gets little respect from me, but they are put together.

[Dutycalls]

Good lord Smoltz blows. He has done nothing but suck the magnificent cock of the worst teams in the MLB.

How can you say Werth is over-achieving when he hasn't even played one full year in the Majors. :roll:


What kind of numbers should he be putting up then? Still putting up platoon player numbers while he is playing in every game?


I will give you Ibanez even though it wasn't hard to see coming when you put a great hitter into a new league and a hitter's park.

[lumini]

phillies got cliff lee for four prospects. pretty good deal.

Mark Bhuerle is unbelievable. 45 straight retired, and it couldn't have happened to a better guy. The sox have been sucking since the perfect game though. oh well, im still a white sox fan

[tubby]

idc what's happening in philly

dem yanks be on fiya

[S7ubS]

The NL is a joke.
God i hate when the Yankees are doing this good. cacksuckers

[Czechy]

Hahahah Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz tested positive for steroids in 2003. Red Sox can't win anything legit.

[tubby]

Hahahah Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz tested positive for steroids in 2003. Red Sox can't win anything legit.
hahahahhaha

someone prove to me that anyone (other than chuck knoblauch) on the '98 yankees (best record in ML history) did steroids

bernie williams
derek jeter
tino martinez
paul o'neil
jorge posada
chuck knoblauch
scott brosious
chad curtis rofl
darryl strawberry cocaine ftw

orlando hernandez
david cone
david wells
hideki irabu rofl
andy pettite (remember this is pre-2001 and HGH is not a steroid)

[bosoxdanc]

Hahahah Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz tested positive for steroids in 2003. Red Sox can't win anything legit.

Suck my dick. If the fucking Dodgers win it this year the same thing can be said about them, so I guess it's retarded to root for them. Yankees can't win shit with A-Rod on steroids, and a ridiculous amount of money. Yankees won't win the division, let alone get by the Sox in the playoffs.

Sox had to cheat to win the first time in what, 85 years or something? And they had at least 2 guys doing it. And in 2004 they had a combined 84 HR and 269 RBI.... Oh, and the Yankees are winning the division. But I think you need to relax, cuz umad. I was kinda joking kinda not joking when I made that post. Everyone cheated so whatever.

[x A n D y]

There should be no room for people who did steroids in the record books or in baseball.



Ortiz, Manny, A-Rod...



they all should be out of baseball, or hit with a few years suspension



this is just pathetic.

[bosoxdanc]

Sox will be the only team this decade to win 2, and the Yankees won't win until 2015. :gelati:

I ain't mad either, lol, but yes, steroids are fucking bullshit Andy.

rofl the way the sox are playing and with their injuries they'll be lucky to hold off the rangers and rays.

also the yankees won 4 world series in a 5 year span without a-rod so idk what you're talking about. yankees have a 3.5 game lead in the division which is hilarious since the sox are beating them 8-0 in the season series. you're crazy if you think the yankees aren't beating the sox at all this year.

Oh I'm not saying the Yankees aren't beating the Sox at all this season, I'm saying they won't go farther in the playoffs than the Sox, and that they won't win another Series until 2015. I'm saying even with A-Rod, the Yankees aren't going to win shit.

[Fr0sTBitE]

There's too many cheaters today to pin everything on Manny/Ortiz/ etc... Although I agree the WS titles are unlegit seeing how Manny and Ortiz carried them through the playoffs. Steroid testing should be stricter and should have a no tolerance policy today.

Oh, and the Mariners won 116 games in 2001. :gelati: So did the cubs? like a century ago. 98' yankees were amazing, but best record in ML history? Are you including playoffs or something?

ya including playoffs...they lost 1 game i think the entire playoffs

[Czechy]

Cubs don't count for anything. They aren't even a real team. LOL @ Chicago sports.

[PowheRed]

Mah Yankees still ahead of Boston. =D

[bosoxdanc]

Fuck including playoffs.
Also, Sox within 1/2 a game.

[Rob]

Phillies wat

This. Even though I know Texas will fall back. Tampa is a good team though.

[bosoxdanc]

Sadly, it's looking like the Sox are going to be playing for a wild card spot. They'll get within 1 or 2 again I think, but they won't win the division. It's a joke that all of these other garbage teams such as Detroit and Anaheim get into the playoffs much easier than the Sox do, but that's how it works.

[Czechy]

Dodgers finally fucking win a game. They are gonna lose the damn division with the way they have been playing.

lol the angels are anything but garbage. and the sox will get nowhere close to 1 or 2 back. they'll be lucky to get back to 5 games behind the yankees. actually, they'll be lucky to hold off tampa or texas. in fact texas took the lead in the wild card today after beating the sox.

sox won't be fine

asmuch as i love the sox, they need to get on a good streak to make it in.

quoted.

[Dutycalls]

Every Sox fan is in panic mode, and it's fucking annoying. Yeah it's not exactly the most desirable situation to be in, but it's not that we should be setting off alarms and running to the hills.

The Sox will make a run at the end, and they'll win the Wild Card. They're most definitely better than the friggin Angels.

Duty, Sox fan should be in panic mode. They had a sizable lead in the division, and have been playing like absolutely donkey shit. I honestly could step in and hit just as well as some of these players have.

They had a sizable lead in June. Kind of in July. For what reason you should have been riding on that high horse of awesomeness is beyond me.

I'm not worried about the Rays. A little worried about the Rangers.

I wasn't on any high horse, tyvm.

[S7ubS]

I'd take the Angels over the Sox. Don't see how you can call them garbage when they have been a top team for the last 3-4 years. When the Red Sox don't make the playoffs you can just mail me my money.

When the Red Sox don't make the playoffs you can just mail me my money.Haven't the Sox beat the Angels in the playoffs like the last 3 years? This year is different though, Sox probably wont make the playoffs, DEFINITELY won't win the division. Which me and tubby have been saying for quite some time now.

I guess Nate has been saying that too though. Enjoy your $20.

[Dutycalls]

I wasn't on any high horse, tyvm.

The high horse was that, it would be a huge surprise that we would lose the division lead at one point.

I have no doubt the Sox won't win the division, they'll keep playing like shit the rest of the season but they'll still hold on to the Wild Card. If they make the playoffs, it'll be Sox Yanks in the ALCS.

[SmoothasBensballs]

Cards are a sure shot in the NL Central, same with the Phillies in the East.

I got the Giants winning the west with L.A. getting the Wild Card.

L.A. will win the West. Boston may win the WC, even if they do I don't have them in the ALCS

Dave, I wasn't saying anything about the Angels v Sox series, I was just saying you can't call a team trash just because they make they playoffs because they win their division. Angels are a very good ball club.

[Dutycalls]

Oh tubby, remember when you were saying "sup" to the sox a few days ago?

WHAT THE FUCKS UP.

[tubby]

every now and then burnett throws a game where a 4 year old can hit him. sox were lucky enough it was yesterday

cc vs beckett should be sick tonight.

oh duty, i believe the sox gave up 20 the night before rofl

[Dutycalls]

You also gave up 11 in that game. Nothing really to brag about, considering we beat you harder than you beat us.

But all shit talk aside, tonight is the biggest game of the season so far. Just wait until September 25.

[tubby]

that means nothing. your pitching staff still gave up 20 runs in one game

[lumini]

Peavy needs to rehab faster so he can help the whitesox

[RevivaL]

sox better nawt get billy wagner

[S7ubS]

The whitesox are fucked.
4 games @ boston
3 games @ NYY
3 games @ minny
1 game @ cubs
4 games vs. boston

11 road games. That 2.5 game lead will be alot larger.

[tubby]

cc > beckett

[SmoothasBensballs]

cc > beckett

Chris Carpenter? :biggrin:

Anyone see Smoltz pitch today? He went 5 innings and struck out 9. Not bad for a washed up has-been.

[RevivaL]

smoltz is a pos, of course he pitches good when he's not on the sox. further proof that the NL sucks if he can do that sich. he struck out 7 in a row

[tubby]

NL does suck, look at cliff lee this year and cc last year. they go to the NL and become dominant cause the hitting ain't that good.

[Jester]

Phillies catchin up to the Dodgers, they iz gonna repeat nigz.

[tubby]

they still gotta catch up to the yanks =)

[Jester]

Yanks Phils WS would be sick.

[S7ubS]

Phils will not be in the WS.

[x A n D y]

lol

He played the worst team in baseball...

[S7ubS]

He played the worst team in baseball...

The NL still sucks.

[Dutycalls]

He played the worst team in baseball...

So what? When in Boston, he got lit up by Baltimore twice, once for 6 runs in 5 innings, another for 5 runs in 6 innings. Got ripped by the A's in 6 innings for 5 runs, then by the god damn Nationals for 5 runs in 5 innings. He's had 3 games where he's had less than 5 ERs. None of which who have winning records. Not even close to winning records. The Orioles, Royals, and Padres.

The NL is the tit that he needs to suck on so desperately if he wants to succeed.

So revival is right.

[lumini]

How about the Rockies cutting their 15 games behind to 3 on the Dodgers

[bosoxdanc]

The NL fucking blows.

[lumini]

god damnit! the whitesox fucking blew it! /wrists

[S7ubS]

god damnit! the whitesox fucking blew it! /wrists

Tigers are going to win as well

[SmoothasBensballs]

The NL fucking blows.

The AL without a doubt, has better players, but every single god-damn fucking time i ever watch an AL game, the ball park sucks soooooo much ass. It seems like every park has to have a fucking gimmik. Boston has i giant ass wall, and in New York, you hit a would be pop-up in any other park, and it is a fucking homerun.

Well if you are going to build a new park, mine as well build it to fit your team.

[x A n D y]

AL has better players, NL has better style of play.



imo

[S7ubS]

imo

How is that? AL teams play small ball too. AL has better pitching and better hitting. I think its dumb to have your pitcher hit. Its like giving your god damn team an auto-out.

[S7ubS]

dat nigga be a redsox

Also, he's from the NL. I guess we haven't learned our lesson yet...

Rather see them play bad now than in the Playoffs. Amirite?

[Czechy]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I still don't want to give up the division though. But there is no way the Rockies can keep this up for another 35+ games, right? RIGHT!??!

[S7ubS]

Since its the Rockies, I'd think not.

[Czechy]

Since its the Rockies, I'd think not.What do you mean??! I'm scared because it's them, remember 2 years ago? they won like 21 out of 23 or some retarded shit and made it to the WS. Dodgers are winning as of right now though, yezzir.

Rockies aren't good. If they win that division, Dodgers don't deserve to be in the post season.

For the love of god finally.
