Well the signature is close to legit

Don't mind @DirtDirtDirt . This is typical Yankee fan behavior. Win 3 in a row and it's "Watch out - we're going to be dangerous when we get to the world series."

Lose 3 in a row "Woe is me. This team couldn't hit it's way out of a paper bag. Should have had a fire sale at the deadline."


Where as I, being an objective fan, realize the Sox offense still sucks even after the recent scoring run and Devers and Nunez won't keep it up.

I'm familiar with that type. There was a guy on the AL Central thread the other day - an Indians fan - who after losing to the White Sox on a walk off (ending a 9-game win streak) and then losing two to the Sox in Boston said something like "this team just doesn't have any of the magic that last year's did and if they even make the playoffs, they'll go nowhere."

I'm not saying the Tribe is a lock for the playoffs, much less the WS, but they've got a hell of a lot better chance than most teams in baseball.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much.

After reading the answer to the first question, I thought he meant that the Yankees' bullpen actually blew him.

Maybe if he was on this year's Yankees squad

Yanks will pummell the Red Sox in the 10 remaining games, and fall short anyway because they will lose to the likes of Jordan Zimmerman and Anibal Sanchez

Dead to me that baseball

Would you like to talk some football?

It is early to talk about Trout in the company of Ruth/Bonds/etc. IMO, but as long as he gets his 10 seasons, he's pretty much a HOF lock. His first 5 full seasons are about as good as they get (led all five times in WAR and his lowest OPS+ in a season was 168).

And considering he's already led the league in WAR as many times as Mantle did for his entire career. Pretty crazy.

You think they'd take turns, or do it like those prons where there are seven broads all trying to get a taste of shaft or stone at the same time?

Every team in the AL is thinking "we just don't have it this year".

I heard the Bullpen Dance Off was hilarious

Anyone see?

Katy Perry has some awesome tiddies, but I get the feeling that her nipples might be a bit of a mess. You know, like a couple of misshapen salami slices haphazardly slapped onto her tits.

I feel like you just told me EPL is one week away again

this is just dumb. Who the hell saw Justin Turner turning into an All-Star? He had a 95 OPS+ and 0.9 WAR in NY. He has a 139 OPS+ and 17.4 WAR since. Murphy was a nice player for the Mets, but he had a career 109 OPS+ when he hit free agency. He has a 149 OPS+ with the Nats (though his defense has cost them plenty of runs as well). There wasn't really any reason to expect him to hit like this unless you really bought into his 2015 postseason. Really going to rip on a team for missing on a 4th rounder (Bellinger) as well? What about the other 28 teams? It's pretty obvious the Mets misfortunes this year are largely because a good chunk of their rotation has been injured.

She flows in and out of super hotness and somewhat sloppy more than anyone

Every team in the AL is thinking "we just don't have it this year".

And the Astros, collectively, are thinking, "You're an idiot."
