Not-So-Obnoxious Baseball Thread

[dfc]

The Reds have to be the best team in the league at hitting into double plays and leaving runners stranded. I'm frustrated and venting. Just let me be.

 

[dfc]

Oh and Drew Stubbs is the best at striking out. Hands down.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Hey Brewers fans: anybody know why Bill Schroeder hasn't been in the TV booth??? He has been gone a while now and as much as I loved Jeff Cirrillo as a player, he sux as a color commentator.

Classy fight between SF & Phil's tonight...

By classy I mean a complete debacle.

And by complete debacle I mean facepalm of epic proportions.

Whatever slump the G's are in, it's time to wake up & smell the post-season. We got lucky the D-backs lost tonight too, but a 1/2 game lead takes 1 day to erase...

My Giants will be standing tall at the end.

Yeah we need to step up and make in happen. About time we drilled Victorino though.

 

[scrambledegg81]

Panda did throw a few good punches though.

 

[Hatchbrew]

Let's Go Indians!!

 

[MattyIceGfunk]

So I'm going to the Hagerstown Suns game. Hoping to get a Strasburg autograph. Tonight is also Brian Wilson gnome give away!!!

 

[beersteiner2345]

Well, looks like the Spankees and the RedSux have distanced themselves from my Rays.

I hope we end on a stronger note, but man we can't get our stuff together.

On the plus note, the D'backs are looking pretty good. Hopefully we can run down the Giants to at least give me SOME team to go for in the postseason.

you know, as i was helping my dad tear apart his kitchen last night, listening to uecker call the game, i realized something....

everyone else in the league listening to baseball right now, is NOT listening to uecker.

that must really suck.

 

[Airborneguy]

Agreed, especially if you listen to Sterling and Waldman flub their way through Yankees games.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Been awhile since I checked in on this thread. So let me just GO RANGERS!!!! Seven games up on the Angels with one to go for the sweep in Anahiem. I feel another World Series visit in our future.

Yes it does suck. Haven't been able to listen to him since '97 when I left. I used to live on the same street as him in Menomonee Falls. Not a stalker; just saying as I'd see him driving by occasionaly .

Bernie is being very quiet in his own thread. Probably doesn't want to jinx the crew...

 

[passedpawn]

Let's go Rays!

 

[scrambledegg81]

Kruk & Kuip. Giants. All you need.

 

[beersteiner2345]

Man, I am starting to lose hope for this season. Consistency is such a huge issue with them this year.

Joe said we need to make up a game a week... it's possible, but man with our schedule it'll be rough.

Fortunately, the D-Backs are doing well (with the exception of last night and so far tonight) so at least I will have one team to go for in October. But I would trade this one for the Rays to be in it. :rockin:

I listen to the dude calling the Tigers game and pretend it's Harwell. No offense to those guys, but we are not all baseball idiots who need a continual lesson in pitching. Sometimes I just want them to shut up and call the game.

I have not heard Uecker call a game, but I have seen him on TV.

I used to go to bed each night listening to Earnie call the games. I learned to love radio baseball listening to the those great Tigers teams of the 70's, and Earnie.

 

[WAdamC]

Ouch. The Brewers lost their fifth game... of the last twenty-nine.

 

[smakudwn]

As a Cards fan, I'm just going to act like this season never existed.

 

[JebCkr]

Braves are looking good. Wildcard spot is looking like a lock. 9 games up in it. I'd still love to see them make a run at the NL East...the Phillies need to cool off a tad.

 

[Airborneguy]

I try not to mention the Yankees because of the hate it attracts, but anyone who actually follows baseball as a passion HAS to be floored by what they did today... 22-9 and a RECORD 3 Grand Slams. WOW. The one game I don't watch all year of course too...

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

I hate the spankees, but yeah, what they did today was amazing. Love em or hate em, you have to give credit where credit is due. And that damn Granderson has been lighting us up all year!

On another note, what the hell is happening to my belovex Rangers this week? We start the week with a 5 game lead and now it's down to 2.5! The Red sux really have our number this week!

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

My beloved Rangers played the way we know they can tonite! Nellie cruz had 2 home runs and was witness to my first ever grand slam! Hit by Mr. Dependable himself, david murphy! I guess since those games with boston werent all that important, we were saving our energy for the games that count-division rivalry. We now 3 up on the angels and two more with them this weekend. We could be back to 5 up in two days. And since their top pitchers are going on 3 days rest, i think we have a good chance to do it! Lets Go RANGERS!!!!!!!!

Cant edit from my phone so.... I was AT the game tonite and saw my first ever live and in person grand slam!

I'd like to see the Phils cool off too. The Crew still needs to make up 5 games in the race for home field advantage. As well as Milwaukee has played lately, I would feel a lot better if they could play more at home against Philly than away. Assuming of course, they even make it that far.

 

[scrambledegg81]

SF is making me regret the 3 jerseys, 4 caps, countless bumper stickers (plus license plate frame) and game tix I've bought in my lifetime...what a joke of a game tonight.

 

[beersteiner2345]

Rays are holding steadily at 8-9 games behind (no good), but my Dbacks are on fire!

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Rays are gonna be even further behind after my Rangers beat up on them this week!
