2011 MLB Thread- Part One

[cobl04]

Is this Reds/Phillies game considered a "good" game of baseball? There hasn't been a single run for almost nine innings now, bottom of the 19th. I don't think I could stand that

What's the record for longest game?

Something around 34 innings.

Had to be played between two days because the game went on too long.




Getting scary in San Fran right now!!

If Brandon League hadn't blown 4 games (3 saves and a loss!) in 4 consecutive games, the Seattle Mariners would be 20-6 in their last 26 games. Hm. There go my hopes for the number one pick overall in the 2012 draft.

Poor Buster Posey... Scott Cousins destroyed him.

I hope he's okay, but glad it gave the Marlins the win.

Any game where a position player pitches is ipso facto awesome.

How about when said position player actually gets the W?
Usually they only pitch in 17-2 blowouts.

And he got the reigning MVP out. Pretty cool.

Finally! Some criticism in the media:

The Twins front office seems more concerned about not hurting anyone's feelings than it does about making people accountable for their failures.

Looks like Carl Crawford might have finally gotten his shit together.

White Sox, baby.

8.5 out of the division.

Only 5 out of the Wild Card.

13-6 in the last 19.

Pitching very well lately.

Let's get Dunn's bat heated up and let's fucking go.

Jesus, I have been really bad about following baseball this year, at least closely. I knew we had some injury problems, but I didn't realize HOW bad. Just who IS still playing for the Cubs

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Just who IS still playing for the Cubs

Starlin and Darwin.

 

[the tourist]

It feels nice to be over .500 with such a terribly hitting team!

Get well soon, Kid.

Not looking good.

So that poor start to the season by the Red Sox is a distant memory...

 

[LuckyNumber7]

As with the Rays...

 

[gump]

Bartolo Colon is pretty good. What a pickup.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Just don't get too close. He might eat you.

 

[the tourist]

Woo! Over .500!

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Ouch. Stung hard by the Diamondbacks.

Lets just pretend that never happened.

[phanan]

Meh, if Lester hadn't had an off night, it would have been a different story.

No worries.

 

[Imperor]

They're not the only ones to suffer from the Interference jinx yesterday. The Rays found out that if you mess with a piping hot Dutch Oven, you might just get burnt.
