Rockpocalypse 2: Battle of the message board nerds

[Kate Upton]

Here's your daily bullshit thread everybody.

Come one come all!

I won't be around until this afternoon.

Mat Latos and Aroldis Chapman: Dominant last night. Reds have won 5 of 6, and have closed the gap to 4.5 in the NLC.

Enjoy scumbags! Boston sucks.

RedSox still in first place by 3 games.. Rangers and Royals have the best record since the break... the reds are still sammiched between the cards and cubs.. Wake up and talk some sports!

BRAVES are the hottest team in baseball right now and have the NL East all sewn up. In spite of several injuries to key players.

We are looking at another WS, gentlemen. The big question is, Will the A's be able to give us a good series?

 

[dblakejr7]

I wouldnt worry too much about the A's they hsitorically collapse at the end of the season.. the rangers should win the division.. unless wash goes on a bender and starts doing lines off of darvish.. sure Atl has done it before.. meaning looked great in the regular season the choked in the playoffs.. they were great in the 90's and won what.. one series?

Yeah, I was kidding around. The Braves haven't been too good in the post season lately, either.

I heard on the radio last night driving home from work about some cuban defector that the rangers are in the mix for.. I didnt hear the name.. i guess this guy can knock the cover off the ball.. any of you slackers heard anything about it?

Japan must be pretty proud these days.

Darvish and Kuroda just flat dominating the American League.

Cuba's Jose Abreu migh be the best offensive weapon on the planet - Grantland

Considering how bad we were coming out of the break, that is amazing for the Rangers.

Heres a thought.. should ichiros japan hits count as he make his way to 4,000 ?

Then again, they went 20-11 to end the regular season last year. The A's are full of guys who weren't even playing for Oakland 3 years ago so I wouldn't put much stock into "historical trends."

hey now dice k was good... for that one stretch of games for part of that one year..

 

[dblakejr7]

i think i agree.. otherwise.. why would nt minor league hits count.. or little league.. its still a career ..

 

[nynasty]

Nah, he just defected a day or 2 ago. Last I heard he's in Haiti. Hasn't even gotten here yet, then the bidding will start.

The impact his former teammates Cespedes and Puig have had is only going to enhance the interest in him.

He's still going to get to 3000 in MLB. He's a shade under 300 away.


ARod's less than 100 hits away, but he's got a year and a half vacation coming up.


Be interesting to see who gets there first.

 

[dblakejr7]

there maybe hope i read an article on some random site that was blaming the type of baseballs on the success of the cuban number.. how the heck do you explain it now jackass.. two of the guys are in the majors and are lighting it up... jimminy.. i could be a "sports writer" ..
