Maddux, Glavine and the Big Hurt into the HOF.
Morris out.
morris only had a chance because of 1 game....not a hof pitcher by any stretch. laughable even with maddux and glavine on the ballot.
biggio not getting in is just stupid. no one likes them and they used steroids for some period of their careers but bonds and clemens are even worse omissions. love how old baseball writers get to punish people for something everyone did and something thats been prevalent in the game since the late 1960's.
LeBatard was the one who gave up his vote to Deadspin
More importantly who were the corksuckers who didn't vote for Maddux? These voters are the worst.
Go read what Marty Noble said...he basically said the speeches were too long among other gibberish.
They need to revamp this system. Include more than just the crotchety grumpy farging newspapermen who will no vote people because they didn't get good quotes from a guy.
and people are missing the point even with le batard...why does he have a vote
on what planet is he covering baseball. he does a radio show and tv show. he doesnt have time to go to the ballpark and talk with people or even watch games. i seriously doubt he saw more than 2 maddux starts in person.
you dont have ever needed to see one pitch by maddux in person or on tv even to know he should be in
baseball nerds dont believe in the look test anyway....its all about stats
id much rather have someone like lebatard have a vote than bill james
i obviously know its all about roids....but the craziest thing to me about the vote was a 500 hr AND 3000 hit guy not getting the requisite 5% to even stay on the ballot
The juice explains the power numbers but not the hits. I don't care if you rape kittens. You get 3,000 hits and you're IN.
raffy had that positive tests and hes still pleading ignorance...in fact he brought up sabotage yesterday
The thing that bothers me the most is that it isn't as if Major League Baseball has banned any of these players. If MLB wants these guys out, it has a way of doing so. All of their stats are considered perfectly valid by MLB, too.
The writers make the picks because they are supposed to know a lot about baseball. Not because of their superior morality. They aren't there to be the morality police. Identify the best baseball players for the Hall, iceholes. Leave the enforcement of baseball rules to MLB.
I think it's funny that people who never played the game get to decide who gets into the Hall of Fame. No wonder it's such a farging joke.
baseball hof is by far the best in the world....which is why so many people catch feelings over it
and i love punishing the roid monkeys by not voting them in....but espcially the dickheads like bonds and clemens
The egg is mostly on the face of baseball because they turned a blind eye towards the steroids usage. I would bet money that they maybe even encouraged in behind closed doors.
What LeBatard did was not even close to some of these curmudgeonly iceholes who turn in blank ballots like they're the goddamn morality police. farg that...if you're entrusted to vote in a HOF class then you do it. It is one thing if you feel a guy is not worthy for baseball reasons, but to not turn a ballot in because of the length of speeches, because the guy didn't talk to the media or whatever other fairy tales were spun by these clown voters is a crime. Turn in a blank ballot? Vote revoked.
It's dumb Bagwell and Piazza will end up getting in and Bonds won't. That's the problem with the steroid stance. People who used but weren't definitively caught will make it because they were luckier. It's lame and makes the process a joke.
I guess Lebatard was either booted from the BBWA or at the very least was stripped of his voting privileges. I don't agree at all with what he did, though I do agree with why he did it if that makes any sense.
his vote was taken away for life
but ken gurnick can incorrectly jump to a conclusion and keep his vote. the whole thing is a joke

i think the selection process is very good....yes you have some idiots who have a vote that probably shouldnt...and i think they should be more proactive in taking away peoples votes when they do stupid shtein...like voting morris in but not anyone else....but the process itself is fine....one thing id change is up the % to get in from 75% to 80%
the greatest pitcher and hitter of this current generation will not get in
the player with the most hits in the history of the game is banned for life
but phil rizzutto is in. bill mazeroski is in for 1 homer. candy cummings is in because he supposedly invented a pitch. they need to burn it down and start over.

they should have thought of that before they went roid monkey....and they especially should have thought about it before they went dickhead denial and blamed everyone in the world but themselves
people need to study how andy pettite went about it...id put him in a million times before i put that pos clemens in
Pretty much. I mean, I still wouldn't put Pettite in since he's a known juicer, but yeah, I at least appreciate the fact that he didn't try to convince the world that water isn't wet.
clemens should probably be in for what he did pre roids. pre-toronto 1997 when he was presumably on the stuff he might have had the resume right there. the thing for him was from 93-96 he wasnt at the level he was previously...then magically in 1997 hes the best pitcher ever.
bonds was an amazing player regardless. yes he took roids, yes his homer numbers are inflated but he was unreal before, during and after. you cant keep him out. you just cant. he won 3 mvps and finished 2nd in 2 others before 2001. HE HAD A .480 OBP IN 2007 WHEN HE WAS OFF THE STUFF. the guy was so ridiculously good.
yes both are awful humans and pathological liars (clemens especially). sure, dont give them speeches or the fanfare. but bonds needs a plaque in cooperstown just like ty cobb has one.
Bonds was a HOF'er before he blew up. That's indisputable. Clemens is a POS Texan. If he died tomorrow the world would be a better place.
I'm on record as being pro-cheat, btw. Make roids or HGH mandatory. More viewing pleasure for drunk Rome.

agreed...i wouldnt put pettite in either...just sayin
let me be clear too....i dont have a problem with anyone who feels like roid monkeys should be in...its not some crusade for me to keep them out and wouldnt ruin the hof if they got in....i just personally wouldnt vote for any of them

Me too. Rose didn't bet while he was playing, he bet while he was managing. I'm fine with a lifetime ban preventing him from working in MLB ever again, but his post playing career gambling should not keep him out of the HOF as a player.
ARoid's suspension reduced to 162 games + 2014 postseason. He's appealing.

Rose got banned as a manager not a player. That's why his exclusion from the HOF as a player is ridiculous. If one if the most disgusting people of the 20th century is there (Cobb) then Rose should be regardless of his gambling after he was done playing.
Yeah, I totally agree.
I'm about sick of the whole morality clauses that voters seem to think they have to uphold. The HOF's are for on field achievements and milestones.

Come on, man. Everyone knows speed only started making players better that year that Chooch was using it.
The sanctimonious douchebags who vote for the HOF would never vote Rose in if he was eligible. He's the greatest hitter in history but his "moral failings" are more important than his on-field accomplishments. It's hysterical considering the rogues gallery of scum that is already enshrined.

i'm not one to ever bitch about contract amounts because it is what it is...
but holy shtein detroit is farging retarded for that contract they gave Cabrera. He had two years left and he's already 31. He's going to be under contract until he's 40 for AAV of $30M. He has had issues with his body breaking down already and they gave him guaranteed money for 9 more years. What the farg
buster olney was on baseball tonight last night saying that MLB FO's have never been this furious about a deal....and that this deal makes werths look like a bargain
my first thought upon hearing about it was what the farg is trout going to get
Trout and the Angels had been talking about a 6 year/150m extension this offseason. I'd be bummed if that happens because I want to see him get 400m with an AAV over 40.
if he were to stay healthy and not fall off trout could sign an eight year 320 million dollar deal today and would be the same age as miggy is right now when its up then sign something like a ten year 500 million dollar deal at that time
of course chances are a center fielder is going to somewhat break down in that time but still the monetary possibilities for trout are mind blowing
wow Grady Sizemore is the opening day CF for Boston. I thought he was donezo
He will tear a knee or hamstring soon enough
I'll be at Camden Yards for Opening Day...farg Boston.

its now 7-6 with one out and men on 1st and 2nd
they lost
yeah what a let down to come all the way back like then then meekly pop out twice to end the game

Does Todd have closers on his team? If so...why?
actually i dont. i have 5 middle relievers. for the past 3 years ive split the difference and gone for holds. it all works out about the same. i go a little under .500 each year if you combine saves and holds together....which is about the same as most people.
in my real league i have jansen, reed and tommy hunter from igy's orioles. pretty good group.
anyway, im pretty the mets wont be missing bobby parnell and his magical ability to get 3 outs when the lead is 1-3 runs or its tied in the 9th inning and hes at home. CLOSERS!! ONLY USE THEM IN THE PRE-ORDAINED SITUATIONS OR ELSE!
you so smart that you've never won our league
incorrect. i won like 4 years ago.
and i make the playoffs every year, which is really all you can do in fantasy. how a team performs in one isolated week is completely random. see last year when that dude with the best team ever lost to sunmo. he had the better team. but not on that one week.

Carlos Gomez at it again (http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6479266/v32232541/milpit-benches-clear-after-gomez-triples-in-the-3rd)
He claims the bat flip was because he made an out (ha!), nothing was his fault and he's appealing any suspension he gets
I didn't think his bat flip was all that bad, really. I've seen worse with less said about it. But Gomez already has a bad rap for showing people up, so pitchers are probably more likely to say something at anything even remotely close to showboating. If it were Ryan Braun, nothing happens there.

Si! El Tómas Juan para Jose Fernandez.
That's what the Marlins beat guys are saying.
Fernandez was shut down last year on a innings limit. To keep him healthy.
Today? Torn ucl
Yeah let's keep babying pitchers and their gold plated arms with bullshtein pitch counts and innings limits.
pretty sure the damage was done when he was a teenager throwing non stop without any kind of limit
these days a lot of kids are in serious competitive ball year round, especially someone from florida. so its either that or it honestly doesn't matter what you do with arms, some of them are going to simply burn out at a random, undefinable point. but lets use this time to laugh at the nationals, who wasted their best chance to win a world series by shutting down strasburg.

Apprently!
According to renderings released today, the new Braves stadium will be oriented to the west/southwest, which means everyone at the plate will be looking into the sun for 7:00 games. The MLB rulebook recommends playing fields be oriented to the east/northeast, and there are only a few that point southeast. Nothing points south or west though
its the south, they still think the earth is flat
They don't even need a new stadium. Another colossal waste of money.

There's the full article on the Astros
Lil guy...your take?
This direct quote ended with:
QuoteIt's hard to play for a GM that just sees you as a number instead of a person. Jeff is experimenting with all of us."
The players who would say this aren't worth a shtein anyways. Castro, Altuve, Villar, Dominguez, Fowler, Springer, Feldman, Keuchel and Cosart don't get toyed with or jerked around, because they're the only ones who are major leaguers. I could guarantee it's someone like LJ Hoes or some fringe-ML bench player.
Also, reading through this, they don't use "purely statistical analysis" and getting Jed fargin Lowrie to be a primary source of information is a joke.
Agreed that they'd not going to toy with the protected and valued prospects or veterans.
I'm curious as to why they offered Grossman an early deal as I don't see him as anything special.
I know that the natives around here are as frustrated as ever. Between the stupid comcast tv situation and them not winning people are tuning out.
I thought they would show more improvement this year and that they were on track to take the next jump in their development.
Singleton should be in the bigs though
I still think they won't lose 100 this year. Singleton might be ready but at this point might as well wait for the Super Two deadline - he's still hitting under .250 for his career in AAA, even though you could probably count 2013 as a useless year for evaluation. He has red flags all over the place so waiting a few extra months to see if he can sustain performance doesn't bother me, especially since he's only 22. They'll have Folty and Nitro up over the summer to make the bullpen a lot better if they don't get slotted into the rotation.
The appeal with Grossman was that he had a really high BB% rate and decent tools otherwise - someone you would project a consistent .260/.340/.400 slash. Definitely not groundbreaking but that's a solid major leaguer to move forward with. The deal was only something like 2M a year which would've been fine, but he was brutal this year. He was walking at a decent clip but I don't think I've ever seen anyone ground out to the pitcher more in MLB history than him. He was a worse LF than Carlos Lee too. I'd expect him to get called back up and perform similar to how he did last year, but if not then farg it, because he's still Robbie Grossman.
My buddy here went to HS with him and said he's a massive prick and roots openly for his failure.
I think I mentioned it before but the furniture guy in town known for his wacky promos (made national news with his Super Bowl promo) did a thing where people would get their furniture free if the Astros lost less than 100. My buddy bought $7k worth of shtein and hangs on every game now
the astros are gonna be really good its just gonna take a while to get there
their shelf life could be small if they continue to treat their players like pieces of meat. eventually once those guys have success they arent going to like the joe banner lowball contract extension shtein. but for a little while it wont matter.
Speaking of George Springer...left him on my bench tonight because he's been out injured the last two nights, and had a late start today...and of course he mashes two homers. Unreal.
The unwritten rule police strikes again! In the Red Sox/Rays game, McCann's former backup David Ross and Jonny Gomes got into it with Yunel Escobar and the benches cleared because he stole 3rd when his team was up 5 in the 7th
link (http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/8877966/v33161173/bostb-three-players-ejected-after-benches-clear)
They should concentrate more on not losing 10 straight and less on getting run on while they're getting their asses beaten to a pulp.
Oh, and farg Boston.
Mets game was over about ten minutes ago.
They've fired their hitting coach and released Jose Valverde
@BNightengale: Awful break for good guy A.J. Ellis, who severely sprained his ankle in the #Dodgers no-hitter celebration, and goes back on DL

Ryu is perfect through six for Los Doyers
Are you kidding me? This would be amazing
Through seven!
And it's over in the top of the 8th
The bottom of the 7th screwed it. 3 runs, over a half hour, and Ryu was running the bases
or maybe he just gave up a hit...those things tend to happen
I saw a stat, and Todd being the numbers lover you are, should respect this!
Since 2004 when a pitcher runs the bases and scores a run...83% of the time he gives one up the following inning.

Fiscal conservatives giving away $397m? The team and county doing it in an underhanded fashion? Gestapo tactics?
Just like in Miami where they raped people silly.
The team should be ripped too. I don't support using public money for ballparks at all.
I'm ok with using some tax dollars for stadiums, but public finding should never exceed private contributions. In fact, I have a hard time biting off on anything over 35-40% in public support.

QuoteChaos? Several years ago, Joe Horn, a wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints, scored a touchdown, pulled out a cell phone that he had taped inside the goal post, and made a call, or at least pretended to.
"And no one in football cared!" Baker says. "If that had happened in baseball ... if someone had hit a home run, reached home plate, took a cell phone out of his stirrup and called someone, he wouldn't finish the phone call. There would be balls flying into both dugouts. It would be like a Cuban winter-ball game, with guys running around with bats in their hands. Oh my God, the world would stop spinning on its axis. The ice caps would melt."
McCarthy laughs and says, "Oh my God, he would never get to home plate. Bats would be tomahawking out of both dugouts. Where would a player hide a cell phone, under a base?"
McGehee says, "The game would never get to the next hitter. It would be so ugly."
Says the Tigers' Torii Hunter, "That would start the greatest brawl in major league history. I would drop my glove, chase the guy down, and beat the s--- out of him. And I'd do the same thing if he was on my team. The camera shot would be of his entire team, piled on top of him, pummeling him. I hope that never happens in baseball."
Haha... now that's great.
That was a great read.
farg the Braves and their fun police shtein.
And I do miss pitchers who would come inside or smoke a guy.
You wanna bat flip and pimp it? I'm cool with that bc it's fun
But prepared to be smoked.
I don't like slow running the bases tho. And many other unwrittens I agree with
I guess Big Faggy in Boston got his knickers in a twist over being drilled by David Price last night.
I hate that fake ass bitch. Drill him every time he gets in the box until he stops his Hoyda bat-flipping nonsense.
His mouth didn't stop moving the rest of the inning. Will Myers certainly got an earful.
And as soon as Ortiz was hit, the home plate umpire issued warnings to both teams. Then Sox manager John Farrel got tossed for arguing about the warnings, because they weren't able to exact revenge and Price wasn't ejected. Then more ejections after the benches cleared in the 4th inning after Price hit another Sox player (Carp) - and Price still wasn't ejected, but Red Sox bench coach and acting manager Tony Luvollo was. Then a Rex Sox reliever (Workman?) threw behind Evan Longoria in the sixth, and he and coach and acting manager Butterfield were tossed, resulting in the Red Sox having four managers in the game.
These teams plain don't like each other. :-D
Issuing a warning after one is colossally farging stupid but it's how Joe Torre wants the games to be run and this is what happens.
You'd think a guy who actually played and managed for decades would understand that but evidently he doesn't give a shtein.
Seriously, that article I posted was so spot on. MLB has done everything in its power to ruin the game yet amazingly enough it still survives despite the idiocy of clowns like Bud Selig.

http://www.youtube.com/v/6H_DPFkuyP8?version=3&hl=en_US
I like the unwritten rules, and I like when they are broken and all hell breaks loose. I just don't want it to become a regular thing because it would take the fun away.
I would like to see someone real strait-laced and known for "playing the game the right way" like Jeter or Utley pimp the hell out of a HR or dance while crossing home plate in the AS Game for laughs, though.
im all for anything that pisses off the traditional baseball set but even if you are a traditionalist you should agree that you can basically do anything you want on a walk off johnson
also I love the other team there all upset but not doing anything...either shut up and hit the bus or farging brawl
That walk off vid was some Pedro Cerrano shtein. Awesome!
And like I said in the nba thread no one likes a fake tough guy. Baseball is full of them. David Ortiz is one and his statement about how next time he's gonna box Price? Yeah right.
He'd run out there juuuuust slow enough so the catcher would catch him or so his teammates would get in front of him.
I'd like to see Utley do that too. But as unhinged as he will ever be is by dropping the world farging champions and the all star response of "boo? farg you"
I love when Jimmy pimps one or when Choke used to smash one against Washington and straight up zoot suit pimp it.
Then Sarge would say "time to hop in that Cadillac!" Which he got in trouble for bc the Phillies sponsor is Toyota
I didn't think that was overly egregious, particularly for a walk-off. The petulant reaction of the other team is what made it funny. The pitcher just gave up a walk-off home run. He should be hanging his head, walking off the field and worrying about getting cut for sucking, not yapping at the guy who just crushed his zesty pitch.
Astros promote Jon Singleton and sign him to an 5 year $10M deal, club options up to 8 years $35. First time a player w/ no MLB service time got an extension like this.

In SF on business. Saw the Nats tonight at AT&T. Nice ballpark. Not as overwhelmed as I thought I'd be. Fun place, very young crowd. Area around the ballpark was very nice. Incredible development going on. Maybe I'm biased but thought CBP was a notch above.
Werth hit a HR. We all said the same thing, they're looking good without
Gio and wonder boy.
CBP and AT&T are more or less the same, except CBP has a much cooler concourse in the OF. Both are great parks to catch a game.

at&t makes cbp look like the vet
cbp is a nice park in the middle of a parking lot in gross south philly. at&t is a nice park right on the water with the best ambiance one could possibly have. its gorgeous at night with the pitch blackness of the cove and gorgeous during the day with the sail boats. its not even close or a debate.
i personally would much rather have parking lots....a phillies tailgate when they are good of course...is better than three quarters of the nfl's tailgating scenes...but i obviously can see how some people would like sf or pitt because of the views....altho even at that philly skyline >>>>>>> mcovey cove
if the stadium where 25 blocks north and you can see the skyline like at pnc, then yes. but since its even further south than the good parts of south philly---NO

QuoteThe Miami Marlins seem to have been willing to trade Giancarlo Stanton for prospects Carlos Correa and George Springer. Granting that Correa is an absolute stud, that Springer has hit fabulously well since his callup earlier this year, and that they're under team control for years while Stanton is starting to get expensive, you still wonder if the Astros will end up kicking themselves over that one. Stanton has the 11th-highest isolated power in major league history for anyone with at least 1,000 at-bats, and is a Gold Glove-caliber outfielder as well; he's a generational talent, the kind you can't really overpay for. (Another way to look at this, of course, is that the embarrassing Marlins franchise was yet again willing to trade away an irreplaceable player so as to pocket some of its dole money.)
Quote[Luhnow] told [Phillies GM Ruben Amaro] that we would consider Aaron Altherr. RA said that seemded like a reasonable ask and he was still evaluating where he was. He would get back to us.
Reading that article and the comments all around the internets really shows that at this point people are still clueless as ever. They shtein on the haul they got for Bud Norris - Josh Hader, a LHP who just turned 20 and draws comparisons to Chris Sale while dominating the Cal League, a 1st round comp pick, and LJ Hoes... for a decent #4 or 5 starter.
I wouldn't have done Correa and Springer for Stanton either. I would've put together a package centered around Springer though. Correa could legitimately be the next ARod (but non-douchebag) and a SS is far more important and less abundant than corner OF. They're also trying to shtein on the Marlins for that deal - that'd be the best haul for Stanton by far. By this point he had shown that he had power and an arm but not much else, he was always hurt and hadn't had a year like this one yet.

Reading that article and the comments all around the internets really shows that at this point people are still clueless as ever. They shtein on the haul they got for Bud Norris - Josh Hader, a LHP who just turned 20 and draws comparisons to Chris Sale while dominating the Cal League, a 1st round comp pick, and LJ Hoes... for a decent #4 or 5 starter.
I wouldn't have done Correa and Springer for Stanton either. I would've put together a package centered around Springer though. Correa could legitimately be the next ARod (but non-douchebag) and a SS is far more important and less abundant than corner OF. They're also trying to shtein on the Marlins for that deal - that'd be the best haul for Stanton by far. By this point he had shown that he had power and an arm but not much else, he was always hurt and hadn't had a year like this one yet.
Agreed on that being the best deal for Stanton...that would've blown away anyone else's offer.
I didn't know LJ Hoes and when he came to bat Friday night I was like "is this really this dude's name?" lol
daniel murphy first NL player to 100 hits
lets go mets go
july 1st is bobby bonilla day.....its the day each year until 2035 that the mets owe him 1.2 mil
I knew the deal was ridiculous and went on for awhile but I thought your 2035 was an exaggeration.... I looked it up and just lol

he had a 2.91 era and a 1.01 whip in 1991 on a horrible team...in the heat of arlington...in the al...when he was 44
thats clinically insane
p.s. in 1987, he had a 2.76 era, 1.14 whip and averaged 11.5 k's per 9. his record was 8-16. wins!!
He only won one World Series.
Sucks!
one of my favorite stats of all time is pete rose having a really solid .265/.395/.713 slash line at AGE 45 for the reds.
choke started breaking down around age 30.
I looked up if Pete Rose actually had a .713 slg% at age 45. Ass
for some reason i always put the ops in the 3rd part of the slash line even though its supposed to be slg
its just a thing i do
lookin more and more like a beltway series this year
Is there a beltway around the Bay Area?
You guys may remember this...but I'm trying to find out what are the most unassisted put-outs in one game? I think the Mets did this within the last 10 years...but I can't find this info. Help!
It'll be on Baseball Reference or Baseball1.com somewhere I'm sure. If you use Baseball1 you're going to need to export a huge data file and try to sort through it yourself though, no guaratees

why do the red sox get to dump unwanted salary on the doyers....win a world series...then trade a rental for a middle of the order bat?
and now the sox get craig and kelly for john farging lackey
kelly is solid young pitcher and craig WAS a great middle of the order bat before he started sucking dick this year. thats a great trade. god damnit why does boston get to keep doing this.
Holy shtein this Chris Russo guy is terrible. How the hell does he have his own show?
haha I listen to Russo's show on his Sirius channel some times.
And Ben Cherington must blow people to keep doing this. I love Cespedes and the fact that he goes to BOS is a goddamn travesty.

So the AL Central is interesting...Tito's Tribe has pulled within 3.5
Adam Dunn acquired by the A's
he's like...anti-moneyball, no?
he walks a lot, so no
and again "moneyball" isnt about vorp or pecota. its about, essentially, going against the grain. for example, before the book came out beane was gaga over college players because their stats were more adaptable than high school kids. then everyone read the book and started going crazy over college players. so beane was like ok im going after high school arms now because the market is low on them.
but nerds
Broxton dealt to Milwaukee by Cincy
He's due $9M next year
So about the A's....swept and now five back
Penny for your thoughts mds?
he will say they went away from the world series winning moneyball strategy and traded for too many guys who aren't A's type players
they lost baseball games. it happens.
but the phillies already disproved the stockpiling of starters strategy. i dont know why beane did it. again, starting pitching is OUT.
Astros fired Bo Porter
I disagree with the move. Apparently he's had issues with Luhnow though
Dillen?
the astros are a joke, but not as big of a joke as the phillies

Astros are one win away from people getting free furniture. The dude who owns Gallery Furniture and lost his ass on the Super Bowl bet he had with free furniture is about to lose on the Astros too. If they won 63+ then you got your purchase of $6k+ free. My buddy bought like $6800 worth.

I'm not sure that I agree with the strike calls, but I definitely don't agree with the Marlins broadcasters that it's impossible to strike out when you've been hit by the pitch. If you're gonna call a game on TV, learn the rules of baseball.

Stanton's I can see - not necessarily agree with, but at least see where it was possible.
The 2nd one was to get the players off the field IMO.
i keep watching the stanton play and cant figure out for the life of me what the farg he was doing...the pitch was on the same line the entire way straight as an arrow and was a fast ball in the 80's...i dont understand how you get that fooled on that pitch
He was distracted by a naked broad in the outfield pool.
It was in Milwaukee I believe - don't think the women there are distracting
Agreed Havas...he kind of like dove in and started a swing and yet the ball was headed for his head

It wasn't a legit win because ATL sucked!
i wont go that far but their run to the superbowl was mad weak
it was legit only because they actually could have beaten new england if not for the bedwetter.....its not like they got to jacksonville and lost 49-10
that said....INCLUDING the playoffs they only beat two teams that had double digit wins that year....and no one in the division had more than 6 wins
one of these things is not quite the same...
QuoteCharlie Blackmon was 5-for-5 with a home run and four runs scored in the Rockies' 16-2 rout of the Dodgers at Coors Field. It was the third game this season in which Blackmon had at least five official at bats and recorded a hit in each; he was 6-for-6 against Arizona on April 4 and 5-for-5 versus Minnesota on July 12. Only five other players in the modern era (since 1900) have recorded three 5-for-5 or better games in a single season: Hall-of-Famers Ty Cobb (1922), Tris Speaker (1923), Stan Musial (1948), and Tony Gwynn (1993), plus Ichiro Suzuki in 2004, the year he set the major-league record with 262 hits.

Holy shtein! I just said the same thing. This reminds me of Jedd Clampett bringing Ol' Roy in to pitch relief against the Giants. farging Oswalt. Blew that game (with the help of the hillbilly) and pitched like a Hoyda against the Cards in the 2011 NLDS. Hope he's farging his tractor.
If I'm Ned Yost I'm asking for armed escorts home
I'm still baffled at his decision. And Jawnnny Lestuh has settled in so I can't see KC scoring again

Nice play by Moustakas!
I'm gonna go nuts when KC ties it up with a granny. Calling it now...Lorenzo Cain or Hosmer crank one
you need to let this bet go and start yelling at cliff lee for blowing a 4-0 lead
god damnit i am boiling in anger now
lol I've already chalked it up as a loss and should send Yost a goddamn invoice for $108.
We should get angry at Fregosi again for taking Roger Mason out too
that i actually dont blame him for...who the farg is roger mason to be pitching the bottom of the 9th of game 6 of the world series
remember he went to west and LA after mason. realistically LA was the option in the 9th and it wasnt a good one. really the phllies didnt have anyone on their roster who was getting 3 outs against ricky-white-molitor-carter. it wasnt happening. toronto was better.
Comeback!!
Oh shtein!!!!
Let's go KC!
Horrible at bat
all this awesome playoff baseball is doing is making me hate the phillies even more
Salvador Perez' AB was horrible. Contact buddy! With Gore on 3b that's all you needed
BOOOOOOOO
i had salvy on my fantasy team and i can tell you if he made contact it was going to be a double play. for someone as slow as him swinging hard is the right play. fly ball/k are his options.

lol jayson nix in the game
hes on like his 5th team this year. started the season on a certain team that really, really sucks.
I was expecting Yost to start him to be honest - he murders Lester!
So Finnegan was KCs first rounder and pitched in the CWS and now here he is

The Royals have been fun to watch in these playoffs. All tight games, great defensive plays, stolen bases and late-inning homers to win the games.
I'm enjoying watching them quite a bit. I hope they keep it up.
Not a Yost fan but hopefully he learned his lesson the other night. Sit back and let the team manage itself. It's the AL for chrissakes.

Blaming umps for squeezing Zimmermann and other things
I love watching those ho's cry
i think they got him, but damn that was close....if hes called safe not sure it would get overturned
but holy shteinballs. matt williams with one for the books.
Delicious
QuoteTo the people who say Refs and Umps don't effect the outcome of games you are idiots! Caps never get the same amount of PP in the playoffs, Nats get squeezed over and over after calling the same pitch a strike all game, and the Skins get Refs that just make up stuff and kill our drives and extend the other teams drives.
lol at Harper crying to the ump
STFU cock
nats are gonna lose and are gonna be a dead team walking out west....bummer will finish them off
sorry igy
my bookie has the giants +120 live right now....looks like its 115 online
this game so huge because sf has bumgarner going in gm 3 to complete a possible sweep
MELT-ionals
Asdrúbal Cabrera and Matt Williams ejected after two contested strike calls. HA.
walk off zimm?
just a brutal at bat by park
Carapozzi is all up in the Nats heads

Spaz still amuses the hell out of me.

Nats survive the 12th. Entertaining game.
DC media tweeting how many of the joke Nats fans have left or are leaving
Empty seats galore
Lol frauds

to be fair nobody who lives in DC cares about sports....they are there just to be there
Are you kidding? Playoff baseball, extra innings and these clowns leave? It's like someone yelled "Ebola" and they all sprinted for the exits.
I don't want this to end.
But I think Soriano is coming in so it should be over soon
The few left at Nats Park doing the US World Cup chant now
STFU clowns
speaking of world cup J are you pumped for gold cup 2015?
Gold Cup titty bar down the street yeah
this game reminds me of the longest game in baseball history....rochester vs. pawtucket in the 80s. 33 innings. i read the book on it, its great.
same type of shtein going on.
This game has been ridiculous.
BELT-ed
bouchy didnt save his closer! oh no! only closers can pitch with leads in save situations! J! no! help me! help the giants!
Watch Wash tie it
Walked him
Werth walk off?!
Lol Nats
poor havas
Including his final AB last night Puig has no struck out five times in a row
Matt Carpenter is farging clutch
the cardinals find him in the 2000th round and the phillies have cesar hernandez
Scouting
The Cards have it and the Phillies don't
Oh and the Braves have completely retooled their scouting dept
Meanwhile....
the cardinals also let albert pujols walk. the phillies gave ryan howard 125 million 2 years before his contract was up.

What a farging disgrace.
It really is...and twitter was littered with excuses like
it was too cold
we didn't leave we just went inside to warm up
but they stopped serving food and drinks!
it was too late

Those are all very valid points in like the 15th inning. Stadium started clearing out in the 10th or 11th I think. Farg that.

Blow this plz
Kershaw has to redeem himself tomorrow and bring this thing back to L.A. otherwise, I fear for his future post-season psyche and any future hopes of post-season success. I'm getting to the point where it just hurts too much to watch. Time-Warner took the season away from most fans here...they should have kept going in the post-season so far. It's two consecutive 1-game series left. Lets do this shtein! Go Dodgers!
...and we pray! :evil
Damn I forgot about that time warner thing. How many games did people miss because of it?
Doug Fister was great today and the Tigers should be ripped for trading him away.
Gio vs Vogelsong tomorrow...huge advantage for the Nats there. This is likely headed back to DC
Kershaw better come out blazing tomorrow. After his game one implosion and pitch tipping mini scandal he needs to pitch exceptionally well. Like eight strong because otherwise the relievers not named Jansen are sure to blow it.

I missed the whole season. I pieced together a few innings all year...from whatever I caught on television.
There was a disconnect all season, but I was able to capture a lot on radio. I enjoy it better on the radio to be honest.

Kershaw gives it up in the 7th!
Holiday started it again and Adams just crushed a three run homer
Holy farg! Kershaw is human. Another 7 th inning meltdown.
farg the west coast
Apparently that was the first homer he's ever given up on his curve to a lefty
Sheesh
Giants
Nats
Cards
Pick one and then go stick your finger in your throat and vomit
I'm all IN on KC or BAL
And Donnie Baseball needs to pack his shtein
He pinch ran Puig for Ellis rather than let him lunch hit
Instead he pinch hits Justin Turner
farg outta here
I came in late - why wasn't Puig in the lineup?
He's been zesty offensively so Mattingly decided to sit him for Ethier
Interesting - so much for being a big money player if he's not playing in their biggest game of the year.
And as incredible as Kershaw was this year, he imploded when it counted most. Twice.
Sorry, hbionic. I know to well how it feels.
the cardinals are in their 4th straight nlcs but ruben amaro isnt changing a thing
ok
Kershaw is trash in post season...until he cleans that up he cannot be compared to the all timers in my opinion.
I wonder who replaces Donnie as manager?
Speechless. Those were two of the worst pitches I have ever seen in my life. As a bums fan I've seen a lot of shtein.
You cannot call the check swing Wendlstat

There was no possible combination of AL-NL in this year's playoffs that would have had me rooting for the NL team.

plus both have won plenty of titles, what the hell is 1 more going to do? the nats were the team to hate. legit rival for the phils, close proximity and havent won squat.

why is this game still on....was there a delay
No delay at all - a Red Sox Yankees pace is all
Buck pulled the right string there -- O'Day got the double play
Wow
it shouldnt take 4 farging hours to play 8.5 innings
and you wonder why nobody under 45 likes baseball
Agreed - it's brutally slow
And it's gonna go extras probably
Gordon!! Homer to right
hey there friend
its just you and me
Yup everyone else has lives on this Friday evening
Gordon took one off his neck in his previous AB and then crushed a homer. Nice payback
Moooooooooose!! Two run shot
This team is nuts.
The tbs crew is horrible btw

stop complaining about playoff baseball
The team who had the least amount of hr's in baseball won by hitting homers over the team who lead the league in hr's, but hit none last night.
farg.
Chen better have his shtein right today or else BAL goes down two games and I'm not sure they'd pull out of 0-2
I think and hope the Giants tap wainwright around a bit today
No way they come back from 0-2, imo. This is as must win as it gets today.
Agreed.
I want this series to go 7 because the playoffs have been fantastic so far. Seeing BAL and KC in after so long is great
Those two teams are entertaining to watch, too. Exciting games. Love watching the Royals run around the bases.
Party like it's 1983. Lil' Guy probably wasn't born yet.
1987 chief
Bal'mer about to go down 0-2
Wow. Great game. Everything I thought was great about the O's seems to be even better on KC's ballclub. Their defense, bullpen and hitting is putting Baltimore to shame these last two games.
It doesn't look good for Buck's boys having to go to KC down 2 zip.
Omggggg
The giants tied it on a wild pitch
Runner scored from second 2 outs and a full count
Cardinals pen about as embarrassing as the New York football Giants.
Molina going out cost them there. Catcher made a weak attempt at backhanding a ball in the dirt and then lost it behind him.
... and Kolten Wong just hooked one around the foul pole to win it for the Cardinals anyway.
Kolten Wong walks it off...a Hawaii boy right Don?
Hawaii's finest.
Unlike Shane you can understand this dude.
Hahah that's because he's not snorting adderall and drinking fifty red bulls and chasing it with a shot of espresso
he got picked off to end a world series game last year....wins an nlcs game this year
only in baseball heaven
So true. My son said the same thing. "does this make up for last years farg up in the WS?".
What really pisses me off is watching the Giants and Cardinals over the past few years with all this home grown talent from within the organization contributing year after year.

SF wins on a walk off error...Choate threw the bunt down the line

Chode Choke!
He blew it in 2011 against the Brewers in the playoffs. Few hours later the 102 win bums choked in game 5 against the Cards.

Keep it going, KC
I really didn't think much of Kolton Wong while at UH and was shocked he was a #1 draft pick. I have totally changed my opinion. This kid is on fire. That was a great throw to get lard ass out and he's swinging a good bat. Watching these two teams reload with home grown talent makes me sick.
Pierzynski being Pierzynski...
Kolton Wong, I rest my case.
so brian sabean was the giants gm during their good run from 97-04....and the gm who doubled down on aging terrible players that turned the team into a joke from 04-08
now they are going to a 3rd world series in 5 years. there is hope yet for ruben? nope.
just once i want to root for a team that goes to the championship 3 times in 5 years
ill even take the flyers even though hockey doesnt count
So far you're right, hockey doesn't count nor exist in this town.
Sad that some of the youngins here didn't get to experience the late 70's early 80's or the Tocchet/Hexy team. That shtein in '87 was bananas.
hockey is huge in philly even now
sure--if by "huge" you mean "some white people like it", but im talking in a national sense
you love to point out how awful the phils 08 win was (rightfully so, it was a zesty series against a meaningless team). well, if you want to talk about things that nobody outside of the 2 markets participating in the event cares about, youve come to the right place: HOCKEY

hes been doing this for like 15 or 20 years at all kinds of big sporting events
First time he's gotten any pub that I can recall
yeah cause hes not always first row behind the plate
I envy the guy....i also like how he never cheers for the home team...most times someone like that and a real douche would be rockin the marlins stuff but cheering for the royals or giants....he a true fan of his own teams but just loves sports
If I go to Houston games I always rock Philly shtein...and I would do it at any game non-Philly too.
I envy him in the sense that he has the farging cash and time to fly to wherever and sit wherever
I don't understand hating the guy. I think he's hilarious. How babyish are these butthurt team owners upset that someone who paid them thousands of dollars wore a shirt they didn't like? He's not hurting anyone back there. Is the sky gonna fall if someone around Kauffman Stadium isn't wearing Royals shtein?

Yeah...like Josh Huff. He got into it on Twitter with two Eagle fans who pulled the "i pay your salary" shtein.
Flew out to KC yesterday to visit squaw's family. Flight from Chitown to KC offered free WiFi and live TV access through Dish. Everyone on board was trying to watch game 6 and there just wasn't enough bandwidth for that much streaming, so 1 person in like every 5th row was holding up their tablets so people behind them could see.
Easily the most rowdy flight I've ever been on. It was pretty awesome. Going to head into the city tonight to watch game 7. Should be pretty cool.

starting pitching has been OUT for a while

Let's just change pitchers every inning.
im all for instituting pitching move limits, but like sam hinkie, all these guys are doing is playing within the rules
Even better would be to change them after every pitch. Why not?!
things are changing! things are different! wahhhhhh! wahhhhhh!
will bumgarner get the win?
He's getting way too much love on twitter as if he's doing something so ducking amazing
Settle down, over dramatic national media jerkoffs
where does the giants dynasty rank
3 in 5 is insane
Know what else I'm sick of?
God bless America during the 7th inning stretch . It ain't 9/11 anymore
woah angry texan
bumgarner is disgusting.....i drafted him in both my fantasy leagues for a reason
its a damn shame that KC couldn't pull this off
Go ahead and put Bumgarner in the HOF...crown his ass
Wow....nice defense there!
That would have been an incredible ending if they sent him
lolol at Posey running out to the mound like it was over there...settle down, meat
Agreed - should have sent him
Come on Sal P...lay off the high cheese
farg man - eye level no swing bro
Disgusting.
I know Bumgarner is a freak but that was one of the worst at bats I've ever seen
Perez was the worst guy to have up there...he's a hacker.
The Giants still haven't won one in SF...all three in the last five have been on the road
perez was finished....he wasnt doing anything there
gordon didnt run hard out of the box and that cost him. one of the all time what-ifs there.
but really bumgarner is on a different level...so are the giants. 3 in 5. crazy good.

I'd like to see how fast he got back to cover the plate when he realized the ball went to the wall...I would have sent Gordon but yeah he didn't bust it outta the box. If that was Escobar, Dyson, Gore? Home in a flash.

difference is kc will love him regardless....in philly he would be murdered for not running hard out of the box. if he does, its a play at the plate in the least.
Nice out of breath advertisement there for Chevy. "Technology and stuff" lololololol
Oh and the goggles used in celebrations now suck too. Man up and take the champagne bukkake like a champ

Oh, definitely. Not even 5 min after the game ended, everyone in the bar started doing a Thank You Royals chant. It doesn't get more MA than that.
I really don't think Gordon running hard right away woulda made a difference. I thought it was an inside-the-parker the whole way too but he was barely at 3rd once Crawford got the ball. Running hard for those first 45 ft shaves like .5 seconds off at most. Feels like creating a story that isn't really there
i havent seen the overhead angle yet, but its an easy triple WITHOUT the bobble...once the bobble happens it makes it a play.
its definitely a story...it wont be one if i were a royals fan. i mean im still not over 5's failures or hamels' vagina flaring up or cliff lee, but maybe i care too much.
The bigger story is Perez hacking at nothing but high heaters. Either that or Yost not pinch hitting for him.

it wasnt even just out of the box...he didnt kick in until after rounding first
you wanna talk about freakish?
bochy is 10-0 all time in playoff series and 8-0 in elimination games
impossible to not respect the giants
farg the Giants.
Mets signed Michael Cuddyer to a 2yr deal
And forfeit their draft choice
Here's an interesting one: the Cubs are in discussions to acquire Jordan Zimmermann from the Nats
Huh...well that is interesting indeed.
Does his contract run out soon?
Gianmikeo Stanton and Florida reportedly talking about a $300m contract
Hof Heyward was just traded to the cards
Yeah I wonder why they dealt him?
Heyward and Walden for Shelby Miller and a minor leaguer
Also...Toronto gave Russell Martin 5/$82M
The farg?
Heyward has 1 year left and wants a huge deal. Miller is under contract for 4 or 5 years
sad that there's no sense in figuring out what the heyward trade means for the phllies....it means nothing. they suck.
the martin deal is a definite sign toronto is serious. hamels deal on the way?
why would hamels ever agree to a trade to toronto?
unless that was sarcasm. then lolz.
he obviously wants no part of this team, and who could blame him. but the only 3 teams that have the $ to afford cole and the prospects for the phillies are boston, toronto and chicago.
his preference is obviously 1- chicago 2- boston 3-toronto....but if the blue jays are the only/best deal out there, why wouldnt he take it? plus, im not sure which teams are on his no trade list.
i was just reading an article on the stanton deal
during the 2018 and 2019 seasons he will make 77 million dollars
QuoteTUESDAY, 4:25pm: Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets the full breakdown: after earning the previously-reported $30MM total over the first three years of the deal, Stanton will take home annual values of $25MM (2018), $26MM (2019, 2020), $29MM (2021, 2022), $32MM (2023, 2024, 2025), $29MM (2026), and $25MM (2027).
The deal also includes a $25MM club option for 2028, which comes with a $10MM buyout to make up the remainder of the guaranteed value in the deal.
That's a staggering amount of cash.
Good for him.
It's a great deal for him.
Too bad he has to endure that scumbag Loria and his mini-me jerkoff Samson
he didn't have to sign on and stay there... he gets what he deserves. after all that bitching about them not putting a team around him he signs himself up until he's at least 31 with a management who has proven they will gut the team whenever they want
But they have 2 championships in 14 years, not bad for a shteinhole team, with a cheap payroll (previously), cheap owner, and non-existent fans.
Dodgers have mule dick in 26 years...and counting.
Oh boo hoo. The Lakers & Kings have won about 50 titles in that time frame, so quit feeling sorry for yourself.
What does Hockey and Basketball have to do with Baseball? Should you be satisfied that the Eagles haven't won a Championship since forever because the Phils won it recently? If that's the case, you should be more than satisfied with Man U winning the league so many times in the past decade or so.
Winning in one sport lessens the sting of not winning in another.
it's the only thing that seperates us from cleveland
^-^
You bitter fargs. I can see your logic. I guess in my case it's worse when your bitter rivals win three of the last five and their pitcher does things in the playoffs what you're own star pitcher wishes he could do.
I've experienced a fair number of championships in my life including two Phillies, two Flyers & three FSU wins, but I would gladly trade all of them for an Eagles Super Bowl. That said, the Phillies 2008 win was incredible. I loved that team and I thought we would have gotten at least one more championship from them. Not to be, sadly, but hey, that's Philly and that's why we're bitter & cynical iceholes.
im sure the LA rams will win one soon enough, hb
LA Jaguars will probably win a SB before the Eagles.
farg football in L.A.
It's not necessary. They should condense the league in half:
Keep:
Oakland Raiders
K.C. Chiefs
Denver Broncos
S.F. 49ers
Buffalo Bills
New England
N.Y. Jets
N.Y Giants
Miami Dolphins
Pittsburgh
Philly
Washington
Dallas
Chicago
Green Bay
Minny
Detroit Lions
Baltimore Colts
farg the rest of the league. This new condensed league would then be renamed to "The super bad ass league of football"
LaRoche to ChiSox for 2yr/$25M
And Ibanez is a finalist for the Devil Rays job
Ike Davis traded to the A's for an international bonus slot
WTF?
those are definitely valuable...more so than farging jew davis
HanRam and Panda to the Red Sox....5/$90M each
wow i thought panda would get more
Really?
I thought he'd go for less - around $60m/$75m
Kyle Seager just got a 7/$100M extension w/ 8th-yr option at $20M, and I doubt any of you have any clue who he is
hes the 3B for the mariners you passive aggressive condescending nerd
lol :-D
He's my fantasy 3rd baseman that I have for real cheap the next two years
Reports coming out that the A's are about to deal Samardzja for several players
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/11/blue-jays-to-acquire-josh-donaldson-from-athletics-for-brett-lawrie-others.html
That's pretty big. No Samardzja involved though
i just did a whatifsports simulation of the all-time jew team and the all-time black team

g2 branca shelled
g3 steve stone out duels doc gooden, jews rally in the 8th

g7 jews crush gibson, koufax masterful

Nelson Cruz to Seattle 4yrs $57M
That sucks for O's fans although I think Seattle won't get thier money out of him the last two years of that deal. For shore the fourth year. Also, the word is that it's a much less than 50% chance Markakis is in an Oriole uniform next year and could end up in Atlanta.
The Oriole exodus continues
Markakis goes to ATL for 4/$44m
Werth gets 10 days in jail (and will only spend 5 there) for doing over 100 on the Capital Beltway
Andrew Miller to the Yanks....4/$36M
Indians bullpen catcher Kevin Cash is the new Rays manager
3-way trade....Yanks get Didi Gregorius, Tigers get Shane Greene, DBacks get Robbie Ray and a minor league IF
Ryan Dempster retired
100 doesn't seem that bad for the beltway....you basically have to hit at least 80 just to merge at certain points.
Bullpen catcher to manager? Helluva jump there

I saw many of the baseball guys reporting it last night so it seems credible.

Marlins got Dee Gordon
For Andrew Heaney. The Marlins got absolutely robbed. What a shteinpile of a deal
People speculating that they got Heaney to package him for Hamels
He'd be a great centerpiece of that deal. Then all the Phillies fans are going to say it's a bad deal because he's equivalent value to Dee Gordon, but no. Man the Marlins are dumb.
Sampson and Loria are trash.
But having Gordon in the top of that lineup is not too bad.
So Joc/Heaney/??? for Hamels?
Howie Kendrick to the Dodgers for Heaney
Matt Kemp to Padres for Grandal and others
Sounds like Cespedes is going to Detroit for Porcello
MAAAyberry is a Met
Yeah and he'd still be a great centerpiece for Hamels. Dodgers are going for it and Kendrick was a mosnter last year. Hope you enjoy getting a couple bottom of rotation-type prospects for him then
they were never getting a top prospect for heidi
but i was more laughing at the timing of it all...you two talking about the whole heaney/heidi scenario then twelve seconds later him getting traded for howie farging kendrick = classic
