True dat. Too often too many forget it's just a game.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

How about them Mets? :wo :wo I know it's early...but I enjoy it while I can. :D

Mac, gather ye rosebuds while ye may . . . or April in this case . . . lest tomorrow thee drop thy ball.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Pineda was reasonably effective, the Yankee batters not so much (5 runs off 11 hits and 6 walks), the bullpen did their job, and Yanks sweep the Bay Rays to reach .500. Now if they can just still be there after 4 upcoming in Detroit. :D

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Tigers scored a few today. Cespedes en fuego!

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Anybody catch Reds manager Brian Price's F-bombapalooza rant ? i'd say he's a little frustrated.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

So I wanted 2 of 4 for my Yanks in Detroit, and I got it with one still to play. Smacked Price, one of the Tigers' thirteen aces, around like a rented mule.

Guess I could get greedy and hope for 3 of 4, but I'll take whatever at this point. If nothing else, we've doubled Detroit's Ls in two days. :D

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Yup, that was a good old fashioned schelacking last night, Thomas. Sanchez hasn't been great so far either so 3 outta 4 is a distinct possibility.

I would be much more upset about this if it were late June and the Blackhawks were out of it. :)

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Tom, I'm concerned how Tanaka's gimpy arm will fare in chilly air this afternoon.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Like the first game in Detroit, the fourth was a pitching duel. Unlike the first, it was my Yanks who scored late to take the 2-1 win. Tanaka was very good for 6 1/3, and the bullpen did their job. What with the sweep in Tampa, then 3 of 4 in The Motorless City, it turned into a good road trip.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Congrats to your guys, Thomas. Sanchez with only a hit and run allowed in 6 1/3, I'm about as happy as one can be with a loss.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Yeah, considering it was cold as $#!+ all the pitching was outstanding, for both teams. I don't think I could have even gripped a baseball.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Wow. KC was at it again tonight, this time brawling with the CWS. They need to consider changing their name to the Battle Royals.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

And they won again too. I think they should change their name to the "Kansas City ****suckers". ;)

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Agreed Tom. Ventura is a loose cannon.

I'll also say that the Sox shouldn't entertain them or retaliate. They just need to focus on winning some gd games.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

The Sox said all the right things about Ventura, "He's a competitor", "We respect him", but the truth his he seems like a stone jagoff, Nate.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

He's a dunce for sure. Just wish the Sox would beat the **** outta them on the scoreboard..

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

I hear ya, Nate.

Tigers have lost 4 in a row, including their best 2 pitchers to date getting pounded for 8 runs apiece the last 3 days. Usually I'm just worried about the bulpen. :r

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Tigers are in a lot better shape than the South Siders. $hit, they can't even knock in RISP with less than 2 outs.:r I believe they're the worst in the league. I just don't get it, lots of talent but no results.

I saw Nathan is out. That probably is a good thing opening up a roster spot for a young gun. And yeah, I'd expected the Tigers bullpen to $hit the bed, not the starters!!:r

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

After a 3-6 start, Yanks have now won 9 of 11, and are in 1st place in the AL East. Yeah, April still has a few days to go, but I figured I'd better brag now . . . it might be my only shot. :r

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Orioles will play today in an empty stadium due to the riots. Meanwhile Tampa Bay is scrambling to reschedule its upcoming series in Baltimore and will act as host instead, where they are accustomed to playing before empty seats at Tropicana Field. :D

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Got the game on in the office right now. Eerie.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Yeah, I found it streaming on MLB.com. Odd indeed. Did you catch that Susyn Waldman quote in the bottom of the 7th? She tweeted from Yankee Stadium that, with 6 runs scored in the first, Buck would never let another fan into Camden Yards. :r

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Camden did look a little strange today.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Not that I wish injury on anyone but I'm glad we have Soria as our closer. He's 9 for 9 and looking good. He's one of the few bright spots, if not the only one, for the Tigers bullpen.

BTW, Miggy is a BEAST.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Everybody's favorite Yankee hit his 660th home run tonight, tying the mark of Willie Mays for 4th all-time. It was a line-drive shot over The Green Monster, meaning it would have been out of Yellowstone Park. To make it even better, or worse depending on your POV, it was a pinch-hit HR in the 8th that broke a 2-2 tie for the win.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

I liked Willie Mays better.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Well it takes all kinds. :r

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Yep Miggy is a beast Mike. Can the Sox rent him for a month or 2?:D I can't believe the absolute $hit show on the South Side. :gary

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

I understand the Brewers are looking for new fans. :D

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Sox aren't a total lost cause Thomas.. yet. :r

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

True. They are a game up on the Indians, and two Ls out of the cellar. On the minus side, they can't score a run to save their lives.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Don't beat around the bush Thomas, they are absolute trash offensively.

Some Sox hitting ranks:
Avg: 21st
Hits: 29th
2B: 24th
HR: 29th
W: 29th
SBs: 29th
Runs: 30th

Does that count as a $hit show?:noon:noon

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

From Mark Parent in the Sun-Times this morning:

"We’re not going to go around with every play that happens every day and re-teach that. This is the big leagues. You have to be accountable for that."

No wonder they look like a single A ball club. That's a horrible attitude to have as a coach and grounds to get his ass booted. Same with RV. There's a fundamental lack of leadership and accountability within the coaching staff of Chicago. Probably the worst coaching staff in all of MLB. I feel bad for Hahn.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

:bh:bh

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

I just checked on your Sox. Thirteen runs and 18 hits (so far) to the Twinkies is bad enough, but sh!t like that happens. Those 4 errors though, that's gotta hurt.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

I'm gonna have to avoid all White Sox news for awhile. It's brutal. Hawks save me tonight!

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Tigers win last 2 versus the Royals to salvage a series split and 2st place in the Central.

Sanchez had a perfect game through six, gave up 2 in the 7th, and the bullpen tried to blow it in the 8th.

Hey, at least we're not the White Sox. ;s Nate

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

It was harder than it should have been, but Yankees sweep BoSox in Fenway for the first time in forever . . . or nine years or so. It's always good to beat them, it's even better to beat them in their house, it's even better better to beat them all three games, but it's even better better best to tease them a bit before you beat them. With an 8-5 lead and 2 out in the bottom of the 9th, Miller loaded the bases and brought the winning run to the plate in Bib Papi. The crowd went nutz, until Papi poopied out.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

You can win in May against a beat up sox squad. We will see were you are in September?

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Yeah, it wouldn't shock me one bit if they crash and burn in The Bronx before it's over. Wouldn't be the first time, would not be the last.

Were Red Sox fans so sanguine they'd not be so insane. :r

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Chamberlain blows a 3 run lead in the 9th. NOW we're back to business as usual. :hn

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Fixed it for ya, Tom.

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

You most certainly did, Thomas. :tu

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

I too agree Thomas. Stick a fork in Joba

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

As a Yankee fan, I have to say "You're welcome." :r

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

Can't we just stamp him "Return to sender" or something?

Re: 2015 MLB Thread
 

I could just say no backsies, but instead I pose a question. What fallback option do you have in mind? With or without Joba, your bullpen is bull$#!+.
