Baseball would be better with cyborgs.

Got to watch that gif in slow motion while it loaded. Even if you go by where the ball was caught, it was still a strike.
|
I remember in one Sega game, MLBPA baseball in 1994, once in a while two umpires would meet at home plate and overturn a called strike or ball.
1994. Come on, Bud, get with it. |
Rangers release Manny Ramirez.
Just give it up, dude. |
Vintage clusterfuck in NY-LAA game tonight.
|
Now, why can't we beat the Angels like this when we're out west?
|
I wish they saved some of those runs for future games
|
The 2014 Futures Game?

<font color=goldenrod>The Dodgers appear to have <s>bought</s> formed an unbeatable baseball team.
Dropped the Mets back down to 10 under .500 :( when they were 7 out I felt like climbing up to .500 was a real possibility</font> |

Great news indeed. About damn time.
|
Batting practice in the Bronx today.
|
God, I can't believe Phil Hughes is 4-12 this season.
I know, i know. |
I like the video review-ness. All about getting the call right.
|
Though will it lead to a drop off in managers arguing so not every "visit" counts as a challenge?
If so, it's good Pinella and Cox have retired. |
Did some driving at work today, listened to some ESPN radio. A lot of the guys bitching about how MLB needed replay are now picking out the things wrong with the replay proposal that hasn't even been voted on. ESPN's relation with baseball is like the IWC with the current WWE product.

Where's Screech?
Charlie Manuel out, Ryne Sandberg in. Hall of fame players who become managers never do well. Sandberg is a dick anyway. He was butthurt when the Cubs didn't want him to manage the big league club. |
The Phillies are dummies. Manuel is a good manager. He's not the reason for the struggling. How about firing the guy who gave Ryan Howard 5 years and $125 million?
|
Kirk Gibson isn't doing so terrible. (not HoFer but w/e)
crossrine |
Just realized Ichiro is coming up on 4000 hits a pro.
Think that will factor in his career when hes up for the hall? Dude could make 3000 in the US if he can plunk together another full season and a half. So it might not matter. If anyone talks about him catching Pete rose, its BS. |
The Japanese hits do not count. Japan is essentially a slightly higher version of AAA. 3000 is almost a given, though.
|

Fuck. |
Agreed. Charlie Manuel had no reason to get canned. Ruben Amaro should have traded away half the roster since they're the ones who all flipped the off switch.
Not sure who's contracts are up when it comes to managers (I know Girardi's is), but I'd be calling him the second the season is over if I was an owner/gm. |
Thanks Charlie, it was a great run.

I'm still baffled by this. Amaro drove Pat Gillick's well-built team into the ground and spent twice as much money doing it.</font> |
So what's the deal with Jerry Remy up in Boston. Big news of out of there is that his kid got indicted for murder of his girlfriend. He pleaded not guilty today.
NESN and/or Red Sox front office might make him step aside from broadcasting until it all settles so they avoid bad press? |
Either that or for him to have some time off to deal with recent family issues and not become too stressed that it affects his health again.
Been having some health problems in recent years where Eckersley would fill in during long road trips or just whenever he did too many games in a row. |
Sigh. After the big win streak, lose series to Yanks and White Sox, losing to Royals now. What the heck bros.
crossrine |
Joba coming in, this lead is not safe.
|
Sometimes the Giants score 14 runs in a game. But they make sure to do it when their pitcher doesn't put together a quality start to waste.
|
Fuck Ryan Brain. Just saying that.
Also that Felix Doubront pitch that soriano hit out.....can't believe a major league starter threw that. Soriano always has a two week stretch where he goes nuts. When everyone stops throwing low fastballs, he will stop hitting dingers. Still, Hell of a comeback to ny. |
AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FONZIE!
|
I can't wait for the stat comparing Soriano's numbers to the rest of the Yankees

Welp, looks like he's retiring.
crossrine |
Well he made over 100 million, so mission accomplished
|
Currently using the Marlins to bust our load, I mean slump.
|
What do you think, The Fraze? Do you think the Giants can make a comeback for the division or are you ready to call it quits? 17 games back is hard to make up but there's a lot of division games left. I suppose anything can happen.
|
Only 13.5 for the wild card. Seems doable.
|
What do I honestly think? Season's over, probably. What will I keep saying because I won't ever give up on any of my teams no matter how bad they are? We're not out until the math says so.
Used to watch all the games with my dad in the mid-90's when we were bottom dwellers. |
Yeah. Seems like the wild card is the best chance. Obviously the Dbacks are in a better position to take the the division than the Giants and I still don't like their chances. But you never know. All it takes is a blowup from the Dodgers. Or the enivitble blowup from Pittsburgh. How great would it be if they choked and wound up 80-82. Hilarious.
One thing we're both in agreement about: Fuck the Dodgers. |
I will not be able to stand the Dodgers going to/winning the WS. It will make me legitimately angry, they're the Raiders of baseball. I don't think the Giants will end up in last place in the NL West, maybe third. Not that the third place team in the NL West isn't embarrassing, it's just "less" embarrassing. Hoping the Pirates don't collapse. They deserve it.
|
We're doing well beating ourselves down in Miami right now.
|
Miggy is just a bad, bad man.

Every time Max pitches these days, I want to stab a fork in my eye. Worst trade ever.

Ryan CumDumpster
|
Cumming all over A-Rod
|
Holy shit the Phillies won
|
Lol A-Rod is the man
|
That's one of the greatest FU Home Runs ever.
|
:mad: Dempster tonight.
|
Ive watched Dempster several years. Establishing his fastball my ass. Lol
|
All this shit seriously makes me root for Arod

I hope the Yankees can get the next Commissioner in their payroll. It must be nice to continuously hit other batters and never get ejected.

Yankees with a rare Tuesday afternoon game today.
Just weird. Oh, doubleheader today. Nevermind. |

Swept a double header last night. Jayson Nix as the surprise hero. The WildCard is within reach somehow.

Lol what the hell?

love it

Braves losing Heyward (possibly for the early playoffs) is awful. He's been the only decent leadoff hitter the Braves have had all year. Schafer is going to have to produce, and BJ needs to figure his shit out right now.
|
that was not the most pleasant hit by pitch I've ever seen
|
It looked like it could have been worse, too.
|
Jason Heyward's quite a tough dude apparently
feel like most people would not have gotten up as quick as he did. |
Boomer expects Bossman Junior to figure his shit out...:lol:
|
Jayson Nix goes from hero to DL casualty tonight. Yankees season has been hilariously and ridiculously karmic for the previous seasons of dominance.
|
Can we say that BJ Upton has an offensive form of Steve Blass Syndrome?
|
Quote:
|
I just don't like players like him (and frankly this goes for any sport) who seem to blame their troubles so much on stupid things like the umpire calling strikes that they think are balls. That mentality is basically evident every time BJ comes up to the plate.
But, you know, BJ figured himself out in the second half last year, so it could happen. It's just not likely, having watched 95% of his at-bats this year. |
Also, at this point, I fully expect a Mets fan to accidentally murder Chipper Jones in a hunting accident to complete the trifecta of unintentionally taking out Braves players this year.
|
I hate BJ so much. Hate his guts.
J Up is still my favorite though <3 |

Rafael Betancourt has blown two saves in two nights and has also probably blew out his elbow. So that's not cool.

19 games back in the West, another loss tonight, still going and sitting 1st row on Sunday. This is just part of being a genuine fan, you don't give up on your team when they're not winning.
Helps being in love with the city your team is from. |
