MLB 2012: Could It Have Been Anymore Gay

[Milquetoaster Strudels]

It's so nice to see Morneau on pace for 30 HRs again. It's been a while.

Now if only they can keep up this stretch of uncharacteristic poise from their starters

I have this nagging sense of dread that Buxton is going to be a huge bust and they basically fucked themselves by not going after a guy like Appel that can start helping while they still have a core of players to build around on the offensive spectrum, thereby resigning this team to mediocrity for the foreseeable future.

But then, maybe every top pitching prospect turns out to be Adam Johnson and Buxton is the next Bo Jackson.

SVC can you do one of those pitching charts for the at bat that lead to the triple?

so what was he freaking out over? I didn't see the whole at bat, just the actual hit.

[permanently disheveled]

Little late with the Santana no-no, but as a long-suffering Met fan, it was awesome to see. They probably won't be able to sustain their record with that bullpen, but I really like the team this year. They play hard, they come back pretty frequently, and they have some decent young players.

Now that the Wilpons have seemingly for the most part resolved the Madoff bs, they had better resign Wright. He's their only marquee position player, and even if it's a bit of a financial burden for those schmucks, it's worth it for ticket sales/branding/not alienating the fan base that hasn't already jumped ship.

He was freaking out over pitch #4.

[Amblin]

Please note that since it was Dee Gordon at the plate, pitch #4 was at chin level.

he's so tiny

[VHGisdead]

so the poor guy was a replacement ump

I thought he sucked. ... He probably needs to go back to Triple-A. You're up in the big leagues to do a good job and when you don't do a good job you should be demoted or fired. It's just like anybody's job. If I don't do my job, I go down to Triple A. There's no room for that up here. It's not a knock on the umpires. It's the integrity of the game. You want to be able to go out there and play the game the way it should be played. All night long, from [Dodgers starter Clayton] Kershaw to [Phillies starter] Vance [Worley], all the way to the ninth inning, it affected the outcome of the game.

[Marigold]

To be fair his strike zone was pretty terrible all game.

[nakedlunch]

"integrity of the game" is probably just a phrase papelbon has heard a lot right?

IMPORTANT STARLIN CASTRO ANNOUNCEMENT

[Marigold]

hahahahah yes

[clancy]

ugh yeah that was really stupid, but i'm sick of people clamoring for starlin to get benched.
jesus dude he's 22 the cubs are basically a AAA team so what's the point

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

To be fair his strike zone was pretty terrible all game.

Not the worst I've ever seen, although that ball in the middle of the RHH zone makes me laugh.

IMPORTANT STARLIN CASTRO ANNOUNCEMENT

I was at this game yesterday
looool

[Kuboaa]

Castro pulling a Milton Bradley, it's alright it's a Cubs tradition to forget how many outs there are

[seriesfinale]

Rickie Weeks has done it twice this season

When it rains it pours

[gashed]

Watch out AAA batters, here comes Bard!





I mean, literally watch out, he will hit you in the face.

[douchechill]

welp, looks like it's that time of the month. gallardo getting shelled by a shitty lineup

[VHGisdead]

Uggla just crushed one off the flying marlin thing

[VHGisdead]

it don don'd me as I was typing that those are not dolphins

[shankly]

What has Cliff Lee done to deserve this?

[seriesfinale]

Brewer-Killer Ryan Dempster has a perfect game through 5 in Miller Park and looks keyed in

[seriesfinale]

Phew, thank you, Random Cody Ransom

A perfecto against the Brew Crew and a Walker win on the same night would've made for rough sledding

[jewels]

What has Cliff Lee done to deserve this?

After years of abuse the team is finally trying to keep Cole and taking off nights when Cliff plays.

[Marigold]

What has Cliff Lee done to deserve this?

Was really hoping that the retarded bunt attempt Mattingly had Gwynn lay out in the 8th would come back and bite him (it did for two outs) but sometimes things just aren't fair.

[gashed]

We've secretly replaced your regular Colby Rasmus with a MLB calibre hitter. Let's see if anyone notices.

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

What has Cliff Lee done to deserve this?

Fortunately gehrig and I (and my brother) were there to witness this disaster first-hand.

It was actually less depressing than watching that happen on television usually is. I'd never seen them lose in person before.

[VHGisdead]

the Mets were just now about half a vertical inch from losing on a walkoff wild pitch on an intentional ball

good friend of mine was at the yankees-rays game tonight, tweeted this picture of a crazed Matsui fan who attached Godzilla to his hat and screamed like a maniac every time he came up:

[clown]

good to see the old school dudes out there in the bleachers with the banner on YES
