The Super Terrific MLB Thread - Part 2

[Hewson]

The cubs are at .500.

And the Yanks are not.

 

[No spoken words]

And the Yanks are not.

Thanks for the update, Hewson.

Thanks for the update, Hewson.

It wasn't for you, it was for our Mets fan who put out the Cubs/Yanks comparison a few days ago.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Hey, the Cubbies are on a roll. Meanwhile the Yanks ain't.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

and leon is getting laaaaaaaarger

 

[Got Philk?]

well, we were on a roll. It kinda screeeeeeched to a halt yesterday

I'm gonna have to change my avatar I believe.

 

[corianderstem]

Mariners are on a roll - 7 in a row! Whoot!

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

It looks like the deal with Buehrle may be dead again. Stupid "no trade" clause.

 

[corianderstem]

Dang, Mike Hargrove, the M's manager is resigning after today's game. He didn't give a very specific reason - "just an accumulation of things over 35 years."

Usually managers take off when the team is having a sucky year, not when the team is 11 games over .500, and on a 7 game losing streak.

I hope this doesn't bode poorly for my M's.

Cubs continue to win whenever I attend. Fun.

Was a really gorgeous day for a ballgame today, glad I went.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

maybe you should go support your beloved spankees, they need your good luck

 

[No spoken words]

Don't I know it. They're probably beyond assistance, sadly.

The Yanks won 8 of the first 10 post-season games of theirs I ever attended, from 1995-2000, including being at Game 6 in 1996 and Game 4 in San Diego in 1998, plus 2 Subway Series games. Since then, they have gone 1-7 with me in attendance for post-season games, including the fun of seeing them lose all 4 games in Arizona for the 2001 World Series.

the yankees really should cash in the season, dump salary, get younger and start building for next year... that would he the common sense thing to do... but, alas, does anyone actually expect them to do that? or is a philip hughes and more for mark texiera and eric gagne package a mere formalilty at this point...

 

[*browneyedgirl*]

did anybody just see the braves and marlins game? that was crazy

 

[No spoken words]

Cashman states, repeatedly, that he's not dealing Hughes, as well as 2 other pitching prospects that have not been part of the parade of rookies that have already been called up to the big club. Headache, I am totally in agreement....every 13 years, it's ok to not go to the fucking playoffs....let's call it a season, see if we can do another deal like the Sheff or Randy Johnson trade, and turn our attention to the future. I say "our" like I fuckng work or play for them, lord help me.

 

[MrPryck2U]

The Yanks season might be close to lost, but they shouldn't trade Hughes. They also shouldn't trade for Gagne. The major problem with the Yanks is that so many guys are playing shitty or are playing with an injury or both. When the Yanks were on their hot streak a few weeks ago, their top guys were finally all playing well. Now they've gone back to playing poorly.

Keep going!!!

 

[No spoken words]

I will, Philbert, I will.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Reds Mgr. Jerry Narron gets the ax in Cincy.
Mike Hargrove steps down as skipper in Seattle even though his team has won 8 straight. Something's gotta be wrong there. Mike was a good manager. I hope he's ok.

 

[corianderstem]

I know! He says he's lost his passion. Well buck up, sailor! This is your job! Why couldn't he just hold out for another 4 months and then resign?

I wonder if there's an illness or personal issue, and he only kept it vague to keep his family's privacy or to keep the focus on the team.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Today is probably Mark Buehrle's last game as a Sock. waa!

Cubs continue to win whenever I attend. Fun.

Go to more Sock games.

I tend to think its more than just he's not that motivated. There must be something else at play here.

 

[Dusty Bottoms]

I've heard rumors that Hargrove and Ichiro don't really get along. So Hargrove was nudged out to give them a better chance of re-signing the Ich.

 

[No spoken words]

Re: Today is probably Mark Buehrle's last game as a Sock. waa!

Go to more Sock games.

I've been to two, they're 1-1. I can't root for them when attending, however, so I root against them. Do you really want that??

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Fine, be that way.



Anyway, what the hell is going on in this clip?

I feel dirty.

 

[phanan]

Perhaps he's, um, helping to adjust his jock strap...

 

[zoney!]

I bet Mike Schmidt cries.

Here is the article HERE...sounds like Schmidt is exempt from the pain.

Only five away. We should have a countdown! Will they be able to pull it off before the all star break?

Ooh, interesting. If it means Ichiro stays, I'm all for Hargrove jumping ship. See ya, Mikey!

Easily if someone breaks Chase Utley's leg.

Please don't though.

9,996

that in order to get back to .500, the Phils would need to win 1,190 games in a row, a winning streak of seven-plus seasons.
