MLB 2012: Could It Have Been Anymore Gay

[Snatch]

At least somebody isn’t afraid to talk trash about a cross-town rival.
“I can’t wait to face those chickens,” Mets closer Frank Francisco told The Post when asked about playing the Yankees in this weekend’s Subway Series at Citi Field. “I want to strike out the side against them. I’ve done it before.”
Before Francisco could elaborate on his “chickens” comment, after the Mets’ 4-3 victory over the Orioles on Wednesday, he buttoned up.
“I think I’ve said too much already,” he said.

about to come in to blow this save

like ... what he said doesn't even make sense. unless he's talking about a-rod, specifically, then i guess it's pretty sensical.

Giants three games behind the Dodgers with Cain and Bumgarner against the A's and the Dodgers still without Kemp facing a surging Angels team this weekend before a head-to-head series.

No I don't like the Reds but that was awesome.

AJ Burnett is the best SP in baseball if you pretend his 12ER start didn't happen.
His 11 other starts: 8-1, 1.87 ERA.

[surly]

contristo, what fantasy land do you live in? I'd like to go to there

[Amblin]

will someone tell the board Asian that the season doesn't end at the All Star Break and Kemp and Ellis will be back soon and things will be back to normal for the second half.

Though I should correct that, not everything is likely to be back to normal.

[Marigold]

contristo, what fantasy land do you live in? I'd like to go to there

I mean, he's right.

[Snatch]

nah, you could do that with a lot of pitchers (though burnett has obviously been good)

take out dickey's 3rd start of the year and he's 11-0 with a 1.33 ERA

[Marigold]

Well obviously he hasn't been the best

[mcwop23]

Looks like youkilis will be gone at some point today

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

Walk to pitcher followed by 330' home run.

Thank you baseball.

[Sweet Gregory Pectin]

not a big fan of 3-run deficits feeling hopelessly insurmountable

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

Juan Pierre hit a home run and they immediately cut to Thome laughing in the dugout.

[Sweet Gregory Pectin]

milhouse tied to the net would have a higher uzr than prince fielder

[mcwop23]

juan pierre has 2084 hits

[Kuboaa]

Juan Pierre hit a home run and they immediately cut to Thome laughing in the dugout.

that brings his career total to like 16!

edit: so close, 17

[Sweet Gregory Pectin]

we're down 4-1 and leyland substituted danny worth for jhonny peralta just to do a double-switch because we're in a national league park and then pinch-hit in the pitcher's spot anyway in the ensuing half inning

the sight of jim leyland desperately grasping for life in the oversized drain of a running garbage disposal is the only thing keeping me sane in this crazy world

His longest appears to have been 396 feet.

Which would have been the 11th-longest home run hit yesterday.

[Amblin]

he only had one his whole time in l.a. and i was lucky enough to happen to catch that particular game live on tv

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

You know your bullpen is good when the other team's #8 hitter appears with RISP in both the 8th and 9th innings.

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

And there is your 2-run blown save.

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

Fortunately Thome leads off the bottom of the 9th with his 5th home run in like eight PAs.

tim mccarver: a-rod sucks balls up

I know it's not going to last but, Franklin Morales

[Kuboaa]

I wish Will Ohman would get uppercut right into retirement

[mcwop23]

every team in the beast +3 over .500 or better
