Day 1: Jacoby swipes Sox record 5 bases, Yankees freefall continues

[HammerDown]

We could talk about the distinct possibility that the Reds are the third best team in the NL central.

My main goal in the NL Central isn't even that the Reds win the division, it's that the Cards don't. So if the Reds aren't as good as the Pirates, that's fine with me. I love the Reds but my hatred of St. Louis takes precedence over everything in the division.

And also because he has been declining for years.

Lol

For Guys that love to Google everything, you sure know when to conveniently avoid it

 

[Rock Strongo]

tendon in Papi's wrist shredded after he had homered


golf clap for the attempt, rock

well i will be damned

that was the beginning of the "demise of ortiz"

and the beginning of the end for manny. wasnt that the road trip he shoved the clubhouse attendant over tickets?

 

[Village Plumber]

Trevor Hoffman and Craig Biggio are actually perfect examples

Both stuck around long enough to compile artificially high totals

Both are guys that no one in their right mind would want near a big postseason moment

 

[chappee11]

Yes. In these circles, this phenomenon is known as the "Craig Biggio Theory".

"Super Storm Sandy Theory" is also acceptable, BTW.

I was just offered this today

Machado and Konerko for Votto

Bonus for me is Machado is a 12th round keeper

Thoughts?

Sounds great......whats a Keeper?

 

[BUCCS469]

Am I the only guy who either drinks a 6-pack on the way in or goes to a bar to watch the game or stays sober until afterward and then gets drunk but one way or another refuses to pay $9 per beer at games? Same at Chargers games. I drink a 12-pack on the way in and then only need one for maintenance at halftime.

NAH.....i usually try getting my swerve on before....a month ago or so there was a vendor giving shit away though....so i ended up really hammered.....that was a disastrous night of posting.

Isn't there a Royals fan in here? We could talk about the Rangers-Royals series


Or he can join our game day thread, though it won't start until closer to game time.

I'm sure Tex will be fine, but it would be funny to see Yankee fans calling for Overbay after Tex gets the golden sombrero.

 

[Zig]

Gen is right in one aspect...

Yankees/Red Sox talk sucks cocknballs

Gen would be more than happy to talk about it if the standings were reversed or his side wasn't on a pesky 5 game skid

Could be...

Still gets them into October though...the Cardinal way!

Could find out this weekend.

 

[Herb Scorer]

i think it was later in that Summer, but not positive

 

[chappee11]

That's the big talking point today. Does Tex get off to hid usual start. I'm not the biggest Tex fan, but with the lineup they've been trotting out, it's an upgrade by default if nothing else

THAT I have to agree with! If he can't outperform Lyle Overbay....well...I don't know what to tell you!

Won't you have to drop someone else to take on Konerko? I'm not a votto fan, and machado has been killing it for me in hits lately. I'd jump on that, doubly so in a keeper league. Mine is a year to year, so lose that cool aspect of it.

you getting machado? Or votto?


I like the votto side better...konerko is useless...

 

[Kate Upton]

Tough not to be talking about it with the Sox/Yanks series 7 hours away.

We can talk about how well the Reds did against the Indians if you wish?

A split?

How awful!

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

No, this was 3 starts ago where he gave up 2 runs in 7 IPs and the team won the game 9-2 over the Rays.

4 starts ago he pitched a CG SO 1-hitter...




So much for "subpar in 4 of his last 5"



Why do you discuss Boston baseball so much when you clearly don't pay shit for attention to it?

I love guys that run to BR for all their information and call out others for not knowing shit

 

[Village Plumber]

That debacle was almost entirely the responsibility of Bochy. Trevor didn't have his stuff but that game was handed to the Yankees on a silver platter.

yeah, ok

it was handed on a silver platter because he put in a closer that doesn't pitch well in big moments

I think he became so disgusted with them he started watching womens softball.
