A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

[mr.hockey4242]

Well I like the Orioles a bit more, I am fine with this result. I get the feeling many in the media wanted to spin the narrative however they could to make this series all about one manager being light years ahead of the other...managing frequently doesn't factor into these outcomes much.
And being in Milwaukee I am all to familiar with Yost Derangement Syndrome. There are people here having meltdowns as we speak.

Yeah this didn't come down to much managing from Yost.

He just had to insert Herrera, Davis and Holland and it was game over. In the first two when it was tied with those guys in, just had to sit back and wait for the Royals to eventually get the big knocks.

 

[dougplayer]

meh.
last AL team to sweep its way into a world series ...


drum roll......the detriot tigers.


yup 5 whole days of waiting around to play for the Royals

 

[dougplayer]

yup. 5 whole days waiting around.
it was the reason the 2006 tigers didn't win it all.


of course this royal team can handle that..right???

 

[Nosferatu]

Royals have heart dougie, something those Tigers teams obviously didn't have!

 

[Nosferatu]

Phuck the Cardinals!

Guthrie and his odd splits actually made him a pretty good pick for game 3 vs the O's, imo.

heart?



last 2 wins came on ground ball outs to drive in winning run.thats heart?

 

[dougplayer]

whats up with the kid pitcher? ventura? is he going tp pitch? or arm hurt?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Doug, face it. Tigers blow ass.

So do the Wings, another loss lol.

I didn't realize the Mighty Michigan hockey team is already 0-1 either haha. Man gophers better enjoy their loaded non conference schedule because the B1G season is gonna be another breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze.

 

[dougplayer]

0-1 wow. would those Minnesota teams pack it in?




tigers blow? missing the ALCS ...sure it was a shock...but what blows is never even being in the play offs for years..that would be the Twins

 

[dougplayer]

did the dingy brown gophers hang that championship banner yet?
ooo that's right..they pulled a san jose shark..didn't win it

 

[Nosferatu]

0-1 wow. would those Minnesota teams pack it in?

Until 2006 the Tigers had made the playoffs 4 times since the end of World War II

Tigers won 43 games won year lol. That's a true sign of LOSING. They went decades without a division title lol. LOSERS.

Gophers lost in the national championship not first round like the Wings hahahaha. Michgian couldn't even make it hahaha!!!

Gophers already got 1 trophy this year!! The Ice Breaker Cup. Got about 5 more trophies to take home this year culminating with the big one in April!!

Do you hate anything Tigers or just hate Doug's posts?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I don't want the Royals to win a game by anything less than 10 runs this series. Those mother fucking Giants need to be pounded.

First things first. Bean Sandoval 3 times in a row(not too serious yet) until Davis can get him out and end his stupid fucking streak. Then bean him in head game two. Closline Pence ASAP and when Peavy pitches start Kratz and have him charge the mound with the bat.

In the process win by 10 everytime.

 

[broncosmitty]

Ha I've probably never actually stated. But I just don't like them at all. I'm just not a fan of same old same old to begin with(a bit hypocritical since I do cheer for the cards but I just respect how they run an organization) and these Giants teams are just boring especially this one. They get fluke runs, the games are blahhh. Shit even the Cards and Royals two normally meh offensive teams find ways to hit some homers and do some cool shit. The last two Royals wins are how the Giants win every game except the giants get their runs late and the pitching is mostly a fluke. Outside of bumgarner and casilla the rest are average.

Add in the fact Pence having a face you just want to punch and Sandoval being someone you just want to poke with a pin and see him pop.

Just a lame team. I guess capitalizing on miscues and not making any is part of the game but it is boring as all hell.

Makes enough sense to me. I was all Royals no matter who they were facing.


As laker knows, Im a big Peavy guy. And their pitching general is about as giod as it gets. (Peavy being not as good as the rest.) But the giants aren't really giving me much to root for. Id like to see Sandoval in the Olde English next year for what it's worth.

I've always liked Pence. Was all about dealing for him when he was Houston. It's ugly as hell everywhere, but he's like the little leaguer that somehow gets it done.

When is the last time San Fran hit a homer? I didn't watch much of the last two games, might have tonight, idk.

So a World Series WWE style. Shall be fun to watch. Sandoval I like. Not a huge Pence fan.

Combo of both, is that okay with you?
