Not-So-Obnoxious Baseball Thread

Looking forward to see if the Angels will actually try to win tomorrow, or help the division by losing again. I'm waiting to see what lineup they post. It's going to be a great day either way. I want Cleveland to get a spot in the Wild Card but can see a 3 way tie. Indians lose, Texas, Tampa win. In that case on Monday the Indians would play Tampa in Tampa. The Loser travels to Texas Tuesday. The winner to get the second wild card.

Watching Sanchez (Tigers) pitch right now. I think he has to throw 6 innings of shutout to win the ERA title, 7 innings if he allows a run.

Benoit just let him down. No win. Really too bad. I'm in Detroit on business and watching live.

 

[iaefebs]

It didn't make a difference if Sanchez got a win, loss, or no decision. The ERA was the thing. Reed took the loss. See you in AA ball Reed. Hitting a guy in the head shows a complete lack of control. Where in the Detroit area are you PP? I can recommend some brewery's.

 

[punkrockdave]

Red Sox secure HFA, that is all. Go back to worrying if Yer team makes it in.

haha. Reed won't see the big field again.

I was in Centerline (Mopar's R&D facility, north of Detroit, wherever that was). I'm actually in Toledo now. Had some beers in Ypsilanti at a place called Corner Brewery, which was part of something called Arbor Brewing. They had some excellent beers there. I'm flying back South this afternoon, perfectly timed to miss today's games. Ugh.

I'm glad the Cubs decided to show up and play the last series.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Here we go again PP!!! What a day of baseball. One of us hangs it up tomorrow. Im glad the game is here but i sure dont like you having Price on the mound.

Let's hope the better team wins. If Price is on his game, it'll be tough for you. But you have a great hitting team, always have, so it's unstoppable force / immovable object time. Game on!

PP you should be glad you were traveling instead of watching the game today. The results were good for the Rays. The actual game was way too much a nail biter. I was glad I watched it being somewhat impartial. I can't imagine being a diehard Rays fan and having to watch the last couple innings. Texas has a good BA against Price. I have Texas beating TB tomorrow. 8-3

After we clean up on Texas, Cleveland, and Boston, it will be Detroits turn. See you soon!

[yes, I'm a delusional homer]

I don't think you will see the Tigers. I don't have them getting past the A's. I have my bracket set and have a Sox, STL world series with STL being the WS champs.

I agree with everything except the STL part.

This would be nice. As good as Price is, Texas has had his number. He is 1-4 against us and his ERA is 5.98 and Opponent BA is roughly .275. He has his work cut out for him. BUT, we are bringing out a rookie tonight. A rookie that has been pretty damn good this year, be nevertheless, a rookie. Should be fun though. I am a little concerned that to advance to the ALDS, it will take 9 straight wins from Texas. Oh well, 2 more to go!

After we clean up on Texas, Cleveland, and Boston, it will be Detroits turn. See you soon!

bwahahahahahaha

Game 7, 1st round, in Arlington! Playball!

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Dammit, Longoria!!!!

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Price has really looked good! Dammit.

 

[iaefebs]

4-2

Congratulations Rays. Reds Pirates tomorrow. I'm going with the Reds. I have to go Indians Wednesday.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Congrats to the Rays. Good luck PP. I don't think they can beat the Red Sox.

 

[HoppyDaze]

I wanted the Reds to win (dad took us to Reds games when we were pups), but I have nothing against the Pirates (excepts for the whole Barry Bonds thing). The Pirates fans earned this one and I hope they win the whole damn thing.

 

[inflictor-of-grimness]

This one game wild card elimination thing is BS. It would have been absurd if the Reds had won.

Yeah Bud Selig should be shot

 

[MangoMead]

Being overseas, I don't keep a close eye on sports back home but I always check in at the beginning of October to check to see where my team landed, happy to see that the great green and gold has taken another division championship!

Go A's. Now I just have to find a sports bar that will be open at 8am, so I can go buy breakfast and watch the game.

Cueto chant during the Pirates / Reds game. http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?topic_id=11493214&content_id=31068525

Sorry the absurdity already happened when the Cards who were 6 games back from the Braves got to advance to the NLDS.

Is there anything more annoying in baseball than Atlanta Braves fans using the Florida State Seminoles ohho oh oho tomahawk chant?

 

[iaefebs]

Maybe Wil Meyers gaf in right field in the 4th inning will replace Bill Buckners under the glove as the worst blunder in post season baseball.

Really annoying. Pretty racist as well, honestly.

Yea, ugly.

He didn't do it in a world series clinching game, so it's not even small amount close.

I'm going to the Rays/Sox game tonight. I sure hope it's not an elimination game.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Is anyone other than me praying for a lifetime ban for the dooshbag, A-rod? I can't fvcking stand this piece of ****. And now this lawsuit makes me hate him even more.

PP, have fun tonight! Should be a good game.

 

[iaefebs]

PP, what a great game. the best game so far. Do you have tickets for game 4? I'd like to see the series go back to Boston.

Woot! Don't have tickets, but I might get them.

 

[passedpawn]

Well, that was easy. I'll be at tomorrow night's game. Go Rays!

 

[punkrockdave]

That was one helluva game last night.

 

[Homercidal]

I'll say.

 

[punkrockdave]

Nother good game, great pitching. Go Sox.

 

[punkrockdave]

One more game and it's WS time in Fenway
