It's a Bautista Bomb!

Hell of a first for the Yankees.

<font color=goldenrod>Pretty pissed off at Buchholz for that inning. Not because I care about who wins this game but because I have nothing else to watch. Looks like it'll be a MLB 15 The Show night for me.

That's gotta feel good for Yankees fans though after an otherwise miserable first week.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Padres take out the Giants to win the belt. Diamondbacks have apparently found Batista's old unlimited title matches cheat code as they are the #1 Contender once again.</font>

The dex fowler bomb was great to see. Haven't felt that excited for cubs baseball in 5 or 6 years. The great piece of hitting by Wellington Castillo before that is going to get lost in the shuffle.

Never understood why they felt such a pressing need to sign David Ross.

because Jon Lester.

Dumb move

Great win for the Yankees last night. Now if they can only hit like that every day.

Defense is still shoddy.

hate baseball

<font color=goldenrod>I love the deGrominator</font>

Yup....that's Chris Coghlan batting cleanup.

Did anyone catch the game on sports center? Of course not baseball isn't relevant lol

.....and that's Chris Coghlan going 3 for 3 with a home run so far.........I give up trying to figure out this game.

But it sure is neat

Joe Maddon knows all.

All I've been able to think all day is how excited I am Vito Cruz is finally going to get to see Matt Harvey pitch at Citi Field

Rod Allen isn't calling this game against Pittsburgh. Jack Morris, legend that he is at baseballing, is no Rod Allen. I don't even want to watch this.

Is Carter Capps' delivery illegal? What say yall? Doesn't Jordan Walden do something similar?

Looks like a good way to break your ankle. Seems illegal. The pitch doesn't start until he is off the mound.

I liked the Shane Greene trade when we made it, and even moreso now that he's pitched two gems. Great find for the Tigers.

<font color=goldenrod>One of the weirdest fucking games I've ever seen. Harvey pitching, multiple umpire reviews, a bogus catcher's interference call, several hit batters, benches warned, manager ejected. Cuddyer AND Wright both leaving via injury, leaving the Mets to finish and win the game with backup catcher Anthony Recker at third. Recker has never played a professional game at third base.

Anyway, a win's a win. Wright pulled hammy though. Dude has been locked in to start the year. Allmost certainly a DL stint, those injuries can linger. Time to see what the team is really made of when you go through a game like that.</font>

love baseball

hate Kevin Gregg

you love him and his adorable goggles.

<font color=goldenrod>Still baffled at that game. Only way it could have gotten weirder would have been if d'Arnaud got ejected for arguing catcher's interference. Then the infield shuffle at the end would have resulted in Jacob deGrom playing shortstop for the first time since college.</font>

Nobody likes Kevin Gregg.

Most hitters seem to.

Bud Norris is trying to win his first 5 starts vs the Yankees, only 2 other pitchers have won their first 5 starts vs the Yankees Since 1914

Sox take 2 out of 3 of the first three series. 6-3 with a half game lead over Tampa.

D-Backs call up Yasmani Tomas.

Get him in your fantasy rosters while you can.

<font color=goldenrod>Diamondbacks come up short again. Maybe they'll fall out of the title picture for a bit as the Padres move on to play the Cubs.</font>

I really like this idea and I hope you keep it updated all season. :)

Interesting replay call in the marlins/mets game just now. MLB replays way more unpredictable than NFL. Same logic to draw our own conclusions can't necessarily be used. Feel like an NFL ref would have just been like "fuck it, call stands"

<font color=goldenrod>I'm obviously biased given that it's the Mets but I just don't see how anything can be conclusive/irrefutable if it takes 5 minutes to reach a decision.

Replay official said they could determine Travis d'Arnaud didn't tag Ichiro. I can only assume Miami's TV had a better angle because SNY didn't have anything.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Also the other thing - the replay clearly showed Ichiro didn't get the tag in until his second dive, which was after the ump already called out. d'Arnaud didn't try to dive after him because he saw the ump rule Ichiro out.

The new replay rules basically mean you need to ignore the ump and keep playing if there is any doubt in your mind about the call.</font>

Cubs promoting Kris Bryant to the main club due to Mike Olt getting injured recently. Cubs also managed to get past the deadline needed in order to get the extra year added before free agency.

Headed to Toronto tomorrow to watch the Jays play a three game series against the Braves.

Nice! I'm headed to a Tigers game on the 26th I believe, I'll be in Windsor that weekend

Merry Krismas Cubs fans. Bryant is starting at 3rd and batting cleanup.

<font color=goldenrod>Before last Sunday, Bartolo Colon hadn't driven in a run since 2005. Now he's done it in back-to-back games.</font>

:D Walk-off win for the Red Sox tonight.

Struggled until mid-game with a potential no hitter against them and turned it around once the Os starter left the game.

Which was bullshit since Ubaldo should have never been ejected. I don't believe it was retaliation for Sandovals slide trying to take out Schoop at 2nd. Should have just been warnings.

It was a good spot to do if it was intentional. Putting a guy on 1st with two outs and the guy up next is hitting like .180.

If you don't think it was retaliation then why should he be warned? Or why should the Sox be warned too? They did nothing wrong.

Arod an early mvp candidate

Kris Bryant >>>>>>>>>>>>> your favorite player

hate baseball

never watching again

got my all star game tickets Thursday so I guess I have l go

but I won't have any fun

I doubt they will vote for him even if he has MVP level stats this year.

He's pretty much the entire Yankees offense

Kinda curious how this Josh Hamilton/Angels dispute plays out.

I know it's only a 5 year deal. But damn, they were stupid to give him that much money.

Really hate seeing ARod do well right now. Just has such a punchable face.

And also, today was the first big letdown game for the Tigers. Hopefully not many will follow. Didn't watch it so don't know what happened but sounds like Dirty Sanchez got knocked around a bit.

Donaldson with a walk off!

Padres climb all the way back to tie the Cubs at 6 a piece only for Kimbrel to show he's human after all. Oh well. Padres are fun to watch this year thus far. Love that tthe lineup can score runs.

It's density.

<font color=goldenrod>I don't know what the funniest part of this clip is. The way Christian Yelich struck out, the delayed crowd reaction to the win because everybody was focusing on the flying bat, or Alex Torres' headgear.</font>

The more "It's Gonna Happen" signs that show up at Wrigley, the angrier the Baseball Gods will get. Stay humble.

The ump that ejected Ubaldo is no longer umpiring

yoenissssssssssssssss

<font color=goldenrod>The Good: Mets win their 8th game in a row, all against the NL East :love:

The Bad: Today was very costly. Jerry Blevins fractured his forearm in the top of the 7th inning. He was their only true lefty specialist and he had been a perfect 15 for 15 retiring lefty batters this year. Then in the bottom of the 7th Travis d'Arnaud fractured his right hand getting hit by a pitch. He's been their best offensive player this week and his defense has been world's better than last year.

A mediocre team would let these type of injuries weigh them down, so hopefully that doesn't happen here. I'm more concerned about the Blevins injury since the Mets will be calling up top prospect Kevin Plawecki to fill in at catcher.</font>

Jays starting pitching is so bad.

Yankees sweep the Rays on the road.

Call me shocked. :eek:

Gdammit Phillies

<font color=goldenrod>With the baseball world watching Kris Bryant bat at a .300 clip in his first weekend in the big leagues, the Padres still managed to pick up their second straight title defense.

4 game slate in Colorado up next.</font>

Wondering how long of a leash Arismendy Alcantara has. He's like 2 for 30 or something. He isn't turning out to be the Ben Zobrist super utility guy they were hoping for. Got to be waaaay too soon for Russell, right? Davewadding?

YEA, frankdrebin.

<font color=goldenrod>Fan at the Cubs/Pirates game got hit by a foul ball behind home plate. Shit.</font>

Padres are clobbering the Rockies, which brings me to ask where in the world is Skippord?

Addison Russell gets the call too. Going to bust a nut. Excuse me.

hope you made it into the take out container.

love baseball

CC Sabathia had quite the gem last night. Until it blew up in his face in the 8th inning.

what a beaut

Bryan Price is as foul mouthed as Joey Votto is handsome.

That is to say, very.

oh for pete's sake David

Cubs game was V fun tonight. Totally different vibe watching this team compared to last year. They are playing a bit over their heads though. Alot of those Castro rbi hits have been more of the seeing eye variety rather than the hard hit kind. I'll stand by my feelings that make the playoffs or not, this may be the most exciting team to watch.

Cubs doing their part to make sure the Back to the Future prophecy comes true. Now just need a way to get Miami in the AL and make the World Series a "Best of 9" to complete it.

Still not sold on the pitcher batting 8th. Their record says otherwise though. La Russa did this alot hitting your schumakers and descalsos of the world 9th, and even he stopped doing it. I get the theory of it but the other new age thing is to have your best hitter up in the 2 spot to get him more ABs, so doesn't that mean you are also giving your worst hitter more ABs as well.?

And change their name to the Gators.

Loria and his dufus son in law will do anything if you offer them some tax free cash and a handy under the table.

Holy s the Phillies won! Wooooo!

The Yankees are really good y'all

The world seems right

Who do yall think will give up an earned run first...Andrew Miller or that nigga Dellin

PUMP THE BRAKES, Price is going to make them look fooli$h tonight

Bernie Williams is retiring on Friday.

Too soon man.

Aaron Sanchez walked 7 batters and beat the Orioles lol

<font color=goldenrod>Mets win their 10th in a row :eek:

Jeurys Familia's slider is fucking filthy.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Also I strongly believe Lucas Duda needs to start using Dude Love's theme as his walk-up music.</font>

Like I was saying, David Price had a super good game of throwing balls and strikes today

Sounds like Nathan is gonna have Tommy John. Probably career-ender at this point. Had a pretty awful run with the Tigers when he came over but can't deny that he's been a beast his entire career. Shitty way to end a career if this is truly the end for him.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah that's never a good way to end your career. :( The stat line for his final season is pretty boss at least:

1 save. 0.1 IP, 1 batter faced, 1 K. On pace to throw a perfect game with 27 Ks.</font>

Mets win again! 11 in a row. Next up....the Yankees.

<font color=goldenrod>And 10 straight wins at home. Home hadn't been kind to them at all in recent years.

I would love nothing more than to sweep in the Bronx. Hard to fathom though...Yankees have been playing well this week and overall it's pretty rare for either side to sweep the Subway Series anymore.

Just win the series and I'll be happy. Especially if they grab game 1 to clinch sole possession of best streak in team history. </font>

plz kill Yankees to appease my anger
