MLB 2014 Continued

Ugh, baseball is the worst sometimes.

It's not baseball that's the worst. It's shitbags like Colby Lewis who have a misguided sense of baseball's unwritten rules who are the worst. I hope the Bronx faithful give him a John Rocker type welcome on Thursday.

Lol, I was talking about the gong show that was the Jays/Red Sox game last night.

Your comment followed the Colby posts, so I thought you were commenting in reference to that.

I found that game quite entertaining.

2014 Baseball

I just heard Olney state the number of inactive at bats, walk or a strike out, is up 40% since 1990. That, along with the aesthetics of uniforms and human rain delays have taken their toll on baseball's appeal.

Jesus, Sting's not back again, is he?


MEANWHILE, say hello to your new NL Home Run leader, bitches.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Welcome to the Bronx, Chase Headley!

I'm looking forward to a deGrom, Syndergaard, Gee, Wheeler, Harvey rotation come 2015...

The Cubs may suck but their fan club could form a hell of a rock band with Jack White, Eddie Vedder and Tom Morello.

 

[bono_212]

Holy shit . The Twitter App on my phone only shows me half of the tweet, so when I woke up this morning, all I saw was, "Jack White at Cubs Game--" and knew there was more, but didn't think it was important enough to actually click the tweet. Quality surprise, here.

THANK GOD.

Put him out of his fucking misery already .

So hey, Bartolo Colon has a perfect game through 5.

[bono_212]

Manny Ramirez is on the DL, guyz

 

[Phantom Dreamer]

Bartolo Colon wasn't perfect today.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

He was, however, fat

 

[Hewson]

That ought to score you points at home.

You gotta love it when a 3-2 game where one pitcher retires the first 20 batters he faced still lasts over 3 hours.

 

[bono_212]

Definitely sting, right?

 

[LemonMelon]

Baseball games being three hours is an unfortunate addition to a once great sport, I agree

That happens when your broken hyped top prospect future ace who will probably eventually need rotator cuff surgery walks 6 guys in 5 innings.

Definitely sting, right?

If we start hearing about attendance at ball parks and how many games sell out even with thousands of unsold seats because of Arthur Fogel math then we have a winner.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Ok, I like baseball again

 

[PhilsFan]

The Phillies are willing to eat most of Ryan Howard's contract. Who needs a DH who can only hit righties and even then isn't particularly good?

They were talking about this over on the SBNation Cubs blog. Basically considering whether or not, down the road, a similar path may be a viable course for us, in regards to Edwin Jackson:

[Phantom Dreamer]

I agree. A pitch clock and the Ultimate Baseball Look™ can right so many of baseball's wrongs! No more unkempt human rain delays!
