The 2008 MLB Thread

I'm with ya there.


Plus, I've got no idea why I've been singled out. I haven't interacted with him in months.

Have you chosen a team then?

I knew you would get that right away though. With your condition and all.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Apparently not ...

What are you talking about?

Keep going asshole and I'm pretty sure you'll get banned.

I do NOT appreciate being called an asshole.

You haven't chosen a team then?

 

[DaveC]

What in god's name is happening in this thread?!??

 

[Got Philk?]

I'll add a light hearted Cubs vs White Sox trash talk.

I really hope the Cubs play the Sox in the World Series if the results end up like the last 2 days.

HA!

p.s. Do I have to like Jim Edmonds now? I know it's been a while now, but he still was a Cardinal...and a jerk.

Back to the cheap weed comments then?

 

[Dalton]

I'll say this: I was pretty discouraged by last nights game and I hope it is not a sign of things to come. The Tigers have been playing well the last few weeks and I was banking on them being really good once Rodney and Zumaya came back, but both of them looked awful last night.

Rodney (in his second appearance) threw 8 pitches and walked 2. Zoom had good stuff, but simply couldn't control it.

 

[Got Philk?]

^yep, that's what they've seen out of them upon their return. Zumaya and Rodney I mean. Not much control, even in the minors for rehab. You want to say give them time, but you also can't keep losing games if you are Detroit.

 

[lazarus]

I'm surprised GAF was talking shit when his team just got bitchslapped two nights in a row by the baseball team in Chicago that matters.

Seriously, I woke my daughter up I laughed so loud. And yes, I'm sure that guy is a White Sux fan.

 

[Got Philk?]

I'll put my money on this guy.

Isn't that Bas Rutten video hilarious?

I'm considering just making a whole thread about it in Lemonade Stand so more people will be able to see it.

One of the fucking funniest videos I've ever seen. My buddies and I quote it all the time. Great stuff.

 

[Dalton]

Bam. Boom. Pow.

Who is that guy?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

He was the UFC heavyweight champion for a while and now I think he does commentary for them.

Either way, he's awesome and he will kick anyone's ass.

"I'm sorry sir but I'm gonna have to break...your leg"

"Create distance and grab a chair"

"Smack his face...maybe hit him 10 times...stab in the liver"

"I'm sorry sir...dang dang bang...no I am not"

He actually is no longer affiliate with the UFC, at all. He is the trainer for Kimbo Slice, and, he is involved with the IFL, a "competitor" of the UFC's.

I actually spent some time with Bas in Japan, and again in LA, and he's a fucking riot. He can also kill you in 1,432 different ways. Well, that's at sea level, anything 1,000 feet above sea level renders some of his moves useless and the # shrinks to about 842.

When he fought competitively, he was incredible.

He was kicking the hell out of that guy in that video. It was almost like the other guy wasn't trying.

Pitcher IP PC H ER BB K
Verlander 5.0 106 3 2 5 10

 

[No spoken words]

Pettitte threw a pretty good game today, doing what he's done so well in Pinstripes (not as much this year, though, admittedly), which is halting a Yankee losing streak.

 

[Dalton]

Verlander's above line is a conundrum to me. Did he throw a good game or a poor game?

 

[Dalton]

Justin Verlander starting an inning when his pitch count is above 105 = never good. I know this. Why doesn't Smoking Sparky know this?

 

[No spoken words]

5 innings 2 runs is not great but not bad.

 

[Dalton]

He's still throwing 96 with his fastball with a 79 curve. That ain't a bad break.

Jody Gerut is KILLING Tiger pitching.

 

[Dalton]

Is it time to start wondering aloud about the possibility of Miguel Cabrera being a former juicer?

 

[Dalton]

Curtis Granderson might be back.
