MLB Daily Thread: 4.24.15 Sox lose 1st series of year to lowly Rays, Yankees don't lose & break up the Mets!

[GenJac]

Oh, and why was Hanley on the bench? Is he hurt?

 

[Rock Strongo]

Sox fans can say the offense will get on track. You can say Buchholtz was virtually unhittable with all his pitches working. You can say its early in the season. But the bottom line is you CAN'T lose two out of three to the worst team in baseball.

ummm

have you heard of milwaukee?

the rays are 8-8

 

[williewilliejuan]

Now they're on pace to go 30-132!

They're going to play like ass until they get that human paraquat, Braun, off their team.

That human shitstain is bad juju. It isn't going to be enough to just get him off the team. They're going to need a big, showy ritual sacrifice. Then, in a deliciously ironic twist, they'll hand a jar of Braun's blood to the pisstester he tried to destroy to hold for 48 hours and then take to the altar.

Waving it proudly

Actually, they use season series to break ties, which the Yankees have lost to both Boston and Toronto.

Sorry. Put that little thing away.

The Rays are NOT the worst team in baseball. They haven't even gotten a start from Alex Cobb yet. Too early to write them off anyway.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

the Mets are the better team this year.

That remains to be seen.

 

[GenJac]

Why do so many people want more rules to prevent these "brawls?" Baseball is hanging on by a thread in terms of interest. At least incidents like this put a little action into the game. Most of the time these are harmless pushing and shoving matches anyway.

 

[williewilliejuan]

Yeah. That and the Mets are the better team this year. It's the same thing with the Clippers/Lakers in these parts. Sure, it's a Lakers' town. But the Clippers are the better team right now.

Given the sensibilities of the trendy parts of L.A., it'll be a Clippers town soon enough. I moved to SoCal in 1998. Until about two years ago, I had hever seen a Clippers fan. Now they're everywhere.

ok

*waves dick*

a 3 way tie counts

Careful not to cross swords.

Derp.

*2 way tie. Yankees lost series to both BOS & TOR

I am a firm believer that the Brewers can win the World Series; just not with anyone on the current roster.

Is it? I thought attendance has been going up and baseball has insane amounts of money flowing in...

Yet they're breaking attendance records.

Your ability to not know what you're talking about is remarkable.

It's feeling pretty champtastic in this muthafucka!

Indeed it is, Champ. Indeed it is.

Cross your fingers that ChiSox's score holds up against Atro. I think hilarity may ensue.

That would be awesome. My team is looking like it's going to suck giant donkey balls this year.

6th so far in total points. You of all folks should know that all you have to do is make the playoffs.

Half of my team is injured already. I'm a big believer in Crapshootidity, but it looks like my team has a case of the Schads this season.
