The Super Terrific MLB Thread - Part 2

[zumanity42]

It can also be looked at thus:
The Red Sox currently still have the largest lead in any division in baseball. (Not to mention still having th best record in MLB)

I must say I'm not pleased with the Gagne trade though.

R-Sox play TB again this week. Maybe we can get a couple games back if the Angels can take a couple more...

and Gagne remembers how not to blow a save.

 

[corianderstem]

That'll be a huge series.

I'll be in Wisconsin that week, and unless the games are on ESPN or ESPN2, I won't get to watch.

 

[randhail]

and Gagne remembers how not to blow a save.

the easiest way for him not to blow a save is to not put him in in that situation or time him to his bed.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Oh yeeeeaaah, what a day for my teams! Red Sox win! Yankees lose! Mariners win!

I like a day like that.

 

[phanan]

The Red Sox still have two more series to play against Tampa after this one.

I don't care how the rotation's schedule is - Francona better make sure Wakefield pitches in both.

If Wakefield gets two more starts against the Rays, that's almost certainly two more wins, which would bring him up to 17. Can you believe there is actually a chance that a 40 year old knuckleballer could win 20 games this year?

 

[Hewson]

Phil Niekro won 21 in 1979 at age 40.

 

[phanan]

So in other words, it's been a while.

[Dalton]

I hate baseball.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

is there a team in the history of professional sports who've had such historicaly bad uniforms as the san diego padres?

these road gold uniforms are awful

 

[Hewson]

Well there is:

and

kinda makes gold sexy.

 

[corianderstem]

The old Seattle uniforms were pretty heinous, too.

Then again, it WAS the 70s. Everything was heinous.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

yes yes, but the chicago and houston both currently have good looking uniforms.

i'm talking in a historic sense...

we have these..

these...

these...

these...

and now these...

and trevor hoffman just got a taste of deez nuts

 

[DaveC]

Oh yeeeeaaah, what a day for my teams! Red Sox win! Yankees lose! Mariners win!

I like a day like that.

Phillies win, Braves lose, and Padres lose.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

The Yankees are losing 18-5 -- love it! And the Red Sox and Mariners win again. This is great for the playoff picture.

 

[tpsreports2424]

time for the pennant

 

[phanan]

Seattle is on a tear. The Yankees are going to have a hard time just getting the wild card.

 

[corianderstem]

This is going to be a nerve-wracking month.

I'm confused by the Yankees/Angels series. I can't root for either team! Is there a scenario in which both teams can lose?

 

[No spoken words]

Fucking Anaheim is such a horror show place for the Yanks since 1996. I'm tired of it. They've knocked the Yanks from the playoffs 2x, and, just seem to own us. Them. Whatever.
Fuck you Anaheim.

 

[snowbunny00774]

I'll bring them a Thank You card next week

 

[No spoken words]

I'm putting you on ignore.

 

[zumanity42]

I'll bring them a Thank You card next week

Will you take one for me too?

It's another beautiful day.

Fuck you Anaheim.

It's a shame they can't play them more.

 

[No spoken words]

Now you're on ignore, too. Hewson, you're next.



I guess I just have horrid memories from that place. Lived in LA for 10 years, so, I attended a lot of Yankee/Angel games, including playoff games in 02 and 05. Was at Game 5 in '05, so, have seen a Yankee season end there. Ugh.

awww

wait, if I'm on ignore that's wasted on you. whatever, it made me happy, and that's what we are all about

 

[zonelistener]

I am actually headed out today to see if I can find one of these sexy shirts. More on the reason later.....

San Diego wins the All Time Ugly award. But they are just trying to keep it classy.

Fuck you Anaheim.

Don't dis the birthplace!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Phillies win, Braves lose, and Padres lose.

it appears as if the phillies, too, have lost...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Phillies left-handed ace Cole Hamels has a strained elbow and likely will miss at least two starts

Yeah, Mariners are playing 17 out of 20 games on the road -- that's tough. But we've won the first two games.

As for the Yankees/Angels, in almost any conceivable circumstance I root against the Yankees. <grin> Everything else is secondary.

In this case, if the Yankees lose, it's great for the Mariners because it increases their wildcard lead. The M's are only two games back of the Angels (1 in the loss column), and I think we can easily pick up those games against 'em. So I don't mind if the Angels beat the Yankees.

 

[DaveC]

[Hewson]

Hey now. I haven't said a bad thing yet about the Yanks/Angels situation.

And thats very unusual for me.

If it makes you feel better the Mariners are getting pounded into submission at the Homerdome.
