MLB Thread 2012 - The Postseason

[the tourist]

The power of Epstein and Hoyer. The Cubs actually have a better outlook than a lot of people give them credit for at this point.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I'd definitely take over on the Marlins.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Yeah, well, once Felix is a Yankee when he's 38 and is pressured to start juicing like New York stars are, maybe he can lead the team to artificial World Series titles too!

Anything is possible. Randy Johnson pitched for the Yankees when he was in his early 40's. And good old A-Rod was a Mariner before he came to Texas and then the Yankees. Gee, wonder if he ever took steroids in Seattle?

 

[the tourist]

Yay, speculation overtakes facts!

 

[MrPryck2U]

Yay, speculation overtakes facts!

Welcome to America!

 

[Hewson]

Gee, wonder if he ever took steroids in Seattle?

I bet he got hooked up by Griffey Jr.

 

[MrPryck2U]

I bet he got hooked up by Griffey Jr.

And Jay Buhner was no angel either.

 

[the tourist]

And neither is Derek Jeter. Or Mariano Rivera. Or Mark Teixeira. Or CC Sabathia.

As long as we're speculating using zero fact.

[elevated_u2_fan]

Jesus you two, just sleep together and get it over with.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Or an Interference orgie to break all of the tension.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Anyone who thinks people on their team isn't using some sort or banned substance is a fool.

Look up "dick move" in the dictionary, and you'll find this:

Josh Hamilton Bashes Texas Rangers Fans in Recent Interview | Bleacher Report

 

[Imperor]

Fuck him. Yeah, we may have been "spoiled" with a lot of success in a short amount of time, but at least we didn't quit on the god damn team multiple times. It wasn't the fans who lolol'd over dropping a routine fly ball in Game 162. It wasn't the fans who GIDP'd on the first pitch in the first inning of the wild card game after Kins and Elvis reached base. It wasn't the fans who made up excuse after excuse for poor performance while being coddled like a child.

Seriously, fuck that guy. How convenient that "God" told him to go to the place offering the most exorbitant amount of money.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Have fun in LA, a 'true baseball town.'

 

[PhilsFan]

I am so happy the Phillies were not the ones to overpay for him.

 

[Hewson]

Have fun in LA, a 'true baseball town.'

He's not playing in LA, no matter how much that franchise wants you to believe they are an LA team.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

He's going to Disneyland! Even better.

 

[MrPryck2U]

He's not playing in LA, no matter how much that franchise wants you to believe they are an LA team.

He better hope he wins a World Series in Anaheim because he won't have enough good years to make it into the Hall of Fame. Plus, here's some more speculation with zero facts: He came into Angels' camp a lot slimmer.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Josh Hamilton with oodles of money in LA can't possibly end badly.

That's cause Trout kept stealing his dessert

 

[Imperor]

And he fucking laughed about it in the dugout.

 

[MrPryck2U]

I wonder if he can still leave the house with only 20 bucks.

So... Zack Wheeler

According to media reports, everybody shows up to spring training in the best shape of their life.

This is pretty cool. Not sure how many people have seen this, but I just saw this today. A 22-year-old Ichiro, pre-MLB, meeting Michael Jordan for the first time. Of course MJ notices his shoes:

Oh man, the picture on Cubs.com today is cracking me up. Samardzja's hair is getting out of hand.

I really hate that blue/red look with no white mixed in. I wore shirts like that in kindergarten.
