"Our Time" Vs. "OuttaTime"

Can't believe the Cubs made this this far. It's density.

The MLB playoffs have been fucking incredible. They've literally killed whatever interest I had in the NHL.

Yah crazy to think that with 4 teams left, there are entire divisions that are eliminated. After this round there will only be one team from each league still in it. Insane.

I dunno, Joe Girardi strikes me as a very good manager. I think his team simply fell short this year, but he comes across as a very poised individual. It would be pretty cool to see Donny baseball as the Yankee manager though.

Damian Rey 10-16-2015 12:30 PM

Girardi gets a ton ofpraise for being super prepared. Apparently he carries a mega size binder with him with tons of stats and info on advance scouting reports. What those stats are and how useful they are is in question, but a guy that devoted to harboring info with him is my kind of guy. Seems he'd be open to more modern lines of thought and game management.

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-16-2015 12:58 PM

It is quite zaney to think that a division was eliminated from the divisional series round.

With all that's at stake in pro sports this isn't an unlikely scenario.

Damian Rey 10-16-2015 09:32 PM

Droford questions Bautista's legitimacy yet fails to mention Chris Davis getting popped for adhd meds and also learning how to hit seemingly overnight after being abysmal in Texas. And let us not forget good old finger waiving Rafael Palmero, vehemently denying steroid use in front of congress only to get popped later. Wasn't Brian Roberts linked to ped use as well?

Very true. I wasn't comparing the Jays to the O's, but while we're on the subject...how bout that Brady Anderson fella? I'm always more suspicious of guys who get a "second wind" than a younger guy who figures it out though. Davis and Encarnacion were both top prospects, so despite the slow starts to their careers, it isn't at all shocking to see. Guys like Pujols or David Ortiz right now or Jermaine Dye a few years ago.

Also, remember when Palmero started to wear earplugs after he got pinched? Classic.

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-16-2015 09:49 PM

Yeah I immediately thought of Brady Anderson, but realistically everyone was on the juice. And it WAS odd that he never came close to being a power hitter again *checks career stats* yep I'm right, minus a 24 hr season so yeah a little odd.

Bautista is also 6'0 205, not exactly a giant, and his body change is a realistic one, if you take the time to work out in the gym, not matter what age you are. going from 180-205 lbs is literally an off season of weight training.

Why do you hate America?

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-16-2015 11:12 PM

because you sing that stupid song during the 7th inning stretch and it's awful.

Chris Davis hit 21 homers at age 23 in 2009 with the Rangers in almost full seadon. His problem was getting playing time. The Rangers got rid of him in 2011 after playing him 73 games in 2010 and half of 2011. Plus he has the exemption for the medication like several other players.

Roberts and Palmeiro are other stories.

Toronto fans loud and proud in Kansas City. Royals fans need to pick it up for the home team.

Evil Vito 10-17-2015 06:43 PM

<font color=goldenrod>David Price tosses 6 near-perfect innings, is handed a 3-0 lead, and is now departing down 4-3 in the 7th. unreal. had the chance to eliminate his "bad playoff pitcher" stigma and blew it spectacularly.

Jays needs to hold it to 1 year. KC pen is ridiculous but the Jays are still capable of knocking one out.</font>

Blue Jays falling apart right now in the 7th.

<font color=goldenrod>Really fun game this was. Great pitching, some nice defensive plays, a couple of moon shots. This'll be a fun series.

Huge win for the Mets though. Losing tonight would have made tomorrow practically a must-win vs. Arrieta. Cubs are way too good of a team to fall behind 2-0 to.</font>

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-17-2015 11:25 PM

Well, I hope Doc Brown throws out the first pitch in Chicago anyways. NLCS is close enough.

Gonna be very tough to get past this series if they keep having to score that many just to barely win.

Nicky Fives 10-20-2015 12:36 AM

The Goins/Bautista blunder in Game 2 going to cost them huge, I'm predicting a KC win in 7, TO wins the next 2 to take the 3-2 lead, but KC going to be too much at home in the end.....

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-20-2015 05:06 AM

The fans were pretty loud for the Blue Jays in game 2 when they were winning. If they can get 2 more at home they could take the air out of the arena with a few Bautistabombs.

it's literally impossible

they should just quit

why would these professional niggers show up when the otha professional nigs are so much better. And no Brett Cecil? Glory god be, pack it up, why even play the games

Going to hunt you down and stab you

Evil Vito 10-20-2015 11:39 AM

<font color=goldenrod>I do think the Jays need to win the next 2 to win the series. Going down 3-2 headed back to KC wouldn't bode well for them at all as Kauffman Stadium doesn't play to the Jays' strengths.

To a lesser degree I could say the same about the Cubs. Their bats were tamed quite a bit in Citi so they'll need to take advantage of the friendly confines of Wrigley.</font>

Nicky Fives 10-20-2015 03:18 PM

Dickey & Young on the mound for Game 4, has the potential to be a 17-15 game with those potential gas cans.....

Matt Harvey's agent Scott Boras has secured an insurance policy for his client that would protect the New York Mets pitcher if he suffers any injury that results in a loss of value for his next contract, or in the case of a career-ending injury, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Happened right around the end of the season when Boras and Harvey went public about wanting an innings cap regardless of the Mets title aspirations. Might have been a bit prophetic since Harvey is dealing with arm soreness at the moment.

Frank Drebin 10-20-2015 07:28 PM

Will be 70 with wind blowing out 9 MPH toward left. Conditions favor the Cubs and their home run ways. No excuses about it being cold.

<font color=goldenrod>If there's one thing Terry Collins does that pisses me off above all else, it's that with a man on first, 1 out, and the pitcher up he ALWAYS takes the bunt off after 2 strikes. And it nearly always results in a GIDP. Been happening all year.

I don't understand it. If you're gonna bunt, just commit to it. I sure as hell would have rather had deGrom strike out trying to bunt and bring Granderson up in this wind with 2 men on than leading off the next inning.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Before the playoffs started most of the projections I saw on Murphy were around 3/30 anyway. He made $8 million this year so it's a reasonable bump in annual salary given his numbers.

Wouldn't shock me if a team went to 4 or 5 now at an even higher AAV.

Supposedly the Mets have zero interest in bringing him back regardless of his postseason heroics and no matter what he does going forward. He doesn't get on base all that much, which goes against Alderson's philosophy. He's also mostly terrible defensively even though he can play at 3 spots.</font>
