Maybe you wont have to much longer

Ah well

<font color=goldenrod>Unfortunate start for the Jays. Gonna be tough to come back against the Rangers but anything is possible in a short series, especially heading to the Bandbox in Arlington.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>LOLiver Perez</font>

Ugh

:'(

tough tough stuff. But what can you do? It's playoff ball and Texas is a battle tested organization and their manager is obviously far better than Gibby, as much as I enjoy Gibby.

<font color=goldenrod>lol Gomez. Tying run on first in the 9th and he manages to get picked off.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>fucking Cardinals</font>

<font color=goldenrod>also holy motherfucking shit @ Kershaw's curveball. wow.</font>

are you new here?

<font color=goldenrod>nah, it was just exceptionally wicked tonight. crazy movement.

Wrighttttttttttttttt</font>

LET'S GO METS! Love David Wright and I fucking loathe the Dodgers.

<font color=goldenrod>deGrom was fucking outstanding tonight.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>FUCK YES!!!</font>

Fuck the Dodgers.

Vito after last night:

Cal Ripken Jr. stated he'd be interested in being the manager for the Nationals if given the chance. Nationals teasing they want someone with actual MLB level experience as a manager though.

Ripken has no business managing. What credentials other than playing career would he bring?

I think Bud Black is going to get the nod. No reason other than he's considered a "good baseball man", and is much more player friendly than hard ass Williams.

I'm going the Padres hire someone who understands and embraces analytics. Which means no thanks to arm assassin Dusty Baker or Ron Washington.

Find me a Hall of Fame player that made a great manager.

Uh..........

Rock n roll back to Chicago. Sweet.

<font color=goldenrod>Chase Utley with one of the dirtiest plays I've ever seen. Fucking horseshit to not get an interference call there.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>holy hell the umpiring in this game is atrocious. they just single-handedly changed the complexion of this entire game and possibly even the series. ridiculous.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Ruben Tejada broken fibula thanks to massive cunt Chase Utley.

I'm not going to lie...I've had nothing but resentment towards Tejada ever since he replaced Reyes. He's been one of my least favorite Mets over the last 4 years and it has baffled me how he has wound up getting the lion's share of the playing time at SS every year when his fielding his overrated, his bat is weak, and his speed is non-existent.

And yet I'm not sure there's been a Met injury that I've felt worse about. He didn't deserve to have his leg shattered by a guy who decided to go 7 feet out of the baseline just to take him out.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Oh well. Realistically most Mets fans went into this series not thinking going 2-0 vs. Kershaw and Greinke was possible and that 1-1 was the most likely outcome, and that's what they got.

Frustrating to know that they could and possibly even SHOULD be 2-0 right now, but that's the hand they were dealt with that Utley crap. Hope they can rebound with a win on Monday. It's put up or shut up time for Harvey.</font>

Gray's Sports Almanac only goes to 2000.

The dirtiest "slide", if that's what you want to call it, I've ever seen. How in God's name Utley wasn't ejected and subsequently suspended for purposely seeking to harm or maim another player whose absolutely defenseless is beyond me.

I know Collins is known for otherwise, Vito, and I'm not for plunking guys, but I'd be stunned of Harvey didn't pump one into Utley's ribs Monday, or someone purposely creams him on the base paths.

Jesus Christ at Tejada taking that. Just brutal.

Jays game at 8pm ET, have to be up for work at 5 am.... not gonna be a very productive day.....

Ted Williams (273-364)
Paul Molitor(83-79 with twins this year)
Ryan Sandberg (119-159 with phillies)

Frank Robinson started coaching as a player/manager before in a HOF so won't count him.

Those were the only 3 ever hired as managers after they were in the Hall of Fame as players so...the bar is set pretty low..

Frank Robinson?

Also no one in Baltimore wants to see Ripen take the Nats job..

He was a player/manager in Cleveland..even so .475% in 16 years isn't that great

<font color=goldenrod>I have my doubts about the Mets retaliating on Monday, given that Utley typically doesn't pinch hit until late in the game. Allowing a baserunner in a playoff game just doesn't seem like something Collins will do unless it was a blowout.

They might get some retribution in 2016 though. Utley would be well advised to not sign with a team that is not scheduled to play the Mets next year.</font>

Mind boggling that Utley started his slide AT the bag. I get that you want to break up the double play, but holy shit at least make it look like you aren't trying to kill the poor guy at short.

Nationals?

And Expos I think.
