Pinstripe Pride and Gay Pride are interchangeable

Glad they brought in Marrero over Young. At least Devin plays good 3rd base defense and has some use as a defensive sub.

By the way, the Tribe fucked the Yankees up in that game and eliminated them from the post season that year.

Fuck Lee Brown and his stupid fucking hat, fuck the Yankees and fuck you.

Word.

Here's a pic of Lee Brown last year when he was pretending to not be a gaping-assed homo.

You (and/or the Yankees twitter feed) found one of the few things that can fire me up.

Fuck that asshole. I remember seeing his dopey ass up on the Jumbotron holding that hat up and it just pissed me off. What a slap in the face to the people that loved him.

Indians beat the Yankees 12-3 that day. They scalped the Yankees' Wang.

My office is about five minutes from Lee Brown's house. I might have to go take a shit in his mailbox at lunch.

Sox 5, astros 2 - believe it or not dirt, the sox staff matches up well with houstons, maybe even better...and the pen is far better.

I didn't realize I was on that other thread, so I moved this over here.

I agree with all that. Houston's bullpen and defense are weaknesses.

Wild card is Sale. If he pisses down his leg like he's done a few times recently, that's going to put some serious strain on the Sox in this series. I think if they're going to make it a contest, Sale has to be on point.

It'll be interesting to see how Verlander does. Sometimes he's really good in the postseason, sometimes he absolutely shits the bed. I'm hoping for the latter. He might be feeling some extra pressure because the Astros brought him in for this - I hope he does and it eats him up.

Settle down

Settle down

You're not the boss of me. Mother fucker.

 

[bksballer89]

You're not the boss of me. Mother fucker.

But I am though

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

But I am though

Nope. I'm totally not settled down. I'm fired UP!

FWIW, sale is 5-1 career vs houston. 1.31 ERA, WHIP is 0.708. in minute maid park, hes 1-1, 2.41 ERA 0.933 WHIP.
granted, the astros team has changed...

last year he faced them twice

9 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 walks, 9 k's (home)
7 IP, 6 H, 4 ER,, 1 walk, 9 k's (in houston)

[bksballer89]

Running home to see the Red Sox game. Get out of work at 4. Should be home around 5ish

Nats pick Strasburg over Scherzer for Game 1

Nats pick Strasburg over Scherzer for Game 1

I didn't read the link, but I'm pretty sure that has as much to do with Scherzer's hamstring tweak on Saturday than anything. Though I guess it was up for debate beforehand due to Strasburg's insane second half. I think Scherzer is going to go game 3.

Technically the other one was posted first. I failed.

Fuck that other thread about Mayberry. This is the real deal.

LeBron is also a Cowboys fan. I don't think we have to worry about him jumping on the Browns wagon anytime soon though.
