MLB Daily Thread: 7.8.15 Red Sox surging towards first, Padres lose yet again, Yanks lose in 10

[HammerDown]

Two cops just came to my door to serve a warrant on a dude who used to live here. I knew they wanted him because I got a letter from his parole officer with a handwritten "you better call me, Jeremy!" scrawled on the outside of the envelope. The cops asked me for ID and left quietly.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I see you! You look pretty drunk.

Hehehe. Who? Me?

Last night I stumbled across the link to the YouTube video STPH created for the DLFL. Funny stuff. I love how as the vid goes on, more and more empty bottles appear around my feet.

Jesus. I'm such a paranoid fuck. If two cops knocked on my door, I'd shit myself and the only illegal activity I do is smoke some pot once a week or so.

There you go. Get some ping pong balls for distance snorch-shooting and we can make it a best of three series.

Good. I am a Snorch-shooting purist. It should always be decided in a series.

I took a very deep breath before opening the door. I thought for a second about not, but the second time they knocked it was a "we're not taking no for an answer" knock. I got drunk last night and I was standing there thinking "oh shit, am I forgetting something?"

Teams with home field advantage have won 8 of the last 10 World Series. But....most don't go 7 games (only 4 of the last 20 WS have gone the distance).

The jury is still out I guess...

Whats weird is that ALL of the best teams in baseball this year are MUCH better at home than on the road.

But thats regular season. Still, Id imagine everyone is going to be busting their butt trying to win the All Star game

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

It's an exhibition game...and it should hold no bearing on which league gets the hfa.

And why would some players go all out, "busting their butt" in the friggin AS game anyway?....to risk injury and miss some /most of the 2nd half of the regular season?? Most of the players don't even play more than 3 or 4 innings or get 2 AB's in the "midsummer classic" anyhow.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Damn...there's some weird shit going on today....
United Airlines has grounded all their flights here in the U.S. and overseas....
....and now, the NYSE was apparently hacked into and has been shutdown...

Sheeesh.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Market appears to be trading again. Computer glitch apparently.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Ticker is moving, but trading is said to still be halted.

I think you have a point but the only way Im watching the All Star game is if HFA is on the line.

2 cops knocked on my door at 11 pm a couple weeks back after banging on the old mans door across the hall.

wellness check, he wasnt answering the phone or door.

they knock on mine, i just opened it and a CLOUD wafts out right into a cops face.

he literally waves his hand in front of his face...i said "sorry, im smoking a butt (which i was)...he laughed "yeah right" and backed away.

closed the door.

Told the cops about the mail I got for this clown and they said "yeah, we want this guy real bad. If he ever shows up, call 911 immediately."

I figure any day where two cops pound on my door and I don't leave in handcuffs is a good day.

Haha. Fuck the Braves, Champ.

I agree though. Elimination games are fucking super exciting.

Similarly, I was disappointed when the Rays knocked the Indians out, but I was actually there. Had amazing fucking seats too - like 5th or 6th row left of homeplate:

Did you use your selfish-stick for this picture?

Porcello will F it all up tonight!

Add a 16th team to each league, and do away with divisions. You play everybody 10 or 11 times during the season, you would have three teams you only play 10 times. At the end of the season top six teams make the playoffs with 3-6 and 4-5 elimination games. Then the remaining four have a normal playoff. Home field is swapped every year.

Fuck Interleague play
Fuck the AS game meaning anything

LMAO... Great PO there... Clearly he is on top of his clients

He was the black Adam Dunn (a little more power, a little less patience), and Amaro Jr extended him almost two full years before he'd have been a free agent AND made him the highest paid 1st baseman in baseball. So, he extended him early AND paid him more than free agency money. Fucking stupid.

That name is banned on the Southside. Worst contract ever in Sox-speak. The sad thing is FO was warned about the big strikeout lummix and they pulled the trigger on him anyway.

It was a day of celebration when that contract ran out and he left. Now, we just need to get rid of Danks.
