wow, A-Rod backlash in the NY media, anyone? Jeter's probably praying that the Kid fscks up soon so the heat can be off. :lol

Anyway, we're like 11 games into the season; as the weather warms up and more games are played, the defensive malaise'll shake through. Finally...are the D-backs legit? :-o

The D-backs are legit. Good young players with enough GRITTY veterans like Eric Byrnes that they'll be able to compete in a weak NL West. Not as weak as the Central, but then what is?

I'm getting too old for this shit.

 

[Triumph]

Yeah, I was actually in the lead until this past weekend, too. Then I went out drinking THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW.

 

[funkmastergeneral]

as long as josh beckett goes 33-0 i'll finally be happy with the hanley ramirez trade

 

[siamesedreamer]

The NBS's Eastern Conference.

They need to set up a Baseketball match between the best players.

 

[captmcblack]

what the shit, I'm only 14th in the standings?
AND I'm behind Frank?

Unacceptable. Top 10 or bust, muhfuggaz!

 

[Meier]

Damn, I'm probably not even in the top 25.. losing my touch. Been so god damn busy every night it feels like. Dodgers go for 10-4 tonight.. Tomko looked great last week, but you can never get too pumped up for a start of his. :lol

 

[vatstep]

I have foreseen this. We're going to get 85% of our wins from the top three in the roto.

 

[Y2Kev]

After Jeter's super shitty attitude with A-Rod last year, he deserves all the shit he gets.

I got on A-Rod last year because he was letting something stupid like his childhood fear of clowns stop him from being a super amazing baseball player (and was just regular amazing). Jeter not standing up for him when he would stand up for GIAMBI really pissed me off.

It's happening. Beckett has finally realized his status as a SUPER STUD.

A-Rod's going to win the Triple Crown + MVP + Sexiest Man of the Year + Any other award you can think of, then come to the Giants next year.

Cy Young? Rookie of the Year?

 

[bluemax]

Cy Young? Rookie of the Year?

At this point A-Rod might be a better option on the mound than half their rotation.

 

[rc213]

Damn I love WGN during baseball season! Vamonos Cubbies!

 

[Karakand]

And you're behind a rookie (me).

A-Rod's going to win the Triple Crown + MVP + Sexiest Man of the Year + Any other award you can think of, then come to the Giants next year.

The Giants will probably outbid Arte by a marginal amount and he'll throw in the towel because really, who needs a guy that can score runs?

Damn I love WGN during baseball season! Vamonos Cubbies!

My shitty cable in West L.A. doesn't get WGN. That's one of the few things I miss from back home in South O.C.

 

[Eminem]

I'm getting too old for this shit.

Haha. All my projects are due soon and finals are in a week and a half, so I've been way too busy to post a lot.

Plus, this is grand prix week here at Purdue, which basically means everyone drinks everyday this week. So anytime I''m not working on school bullshit I'm getting loaded.
And speaking of which, I need to walk to the liquor store.

Wow, 4 times rarer than a no-hitter. That's interesting. Aardsma for Cotts was a great trade.

 

[Eminem]

I really hope Lou playing match-ups here ****s him right in the asshole

 

[NomarTyme]

Come on cubbies take them Padres out!

 

[captmcblack]

where is Alfonso Soriano?
Soriano power out? :-(

 

[Eminem]

Out for around a week, but no DL.

 

[NomarTyme]

Good job Padres 3rd baseman coach.

 

[captmcblack]

Out for around a week, but no DL.

cool, cool.
I always look for (non-shitty) ex-Yankees to do well.

And Karim Garcia.

 

[Eminem]

Hahaha that shit ONLY happens to the Cubs



e: Pods hurt himself working out, now he's on the DL :lol :lol :lol

 

[ianswoody]

Heart of the order coming up after that solid defensive play by Aramis.

 

[Eminem]

Heart of the order coming up after that solid defensive play by Aramis.

Yeah this game is never going to end

edit: Who the **** is Pete LaForest? did the Pads just grab someone from the stands?

 

[ianswoody]

No hits since the 5th inning!!! How are we not due? Oh yeah, we're the CUBS

 

[Eminem]

Erstad is leading off for the White Sox tonight :lol :lol :lol

 

[Link]

Damn, I'm way behind in posting this year. I was up there in last year's thread. Damn school keeping me from watching the games.

 

[captmcblack]

Erstad is leading off for the White Sox tonight :lol :lol :lol

Erstad's got GEE-ARR-EYE-TEE grit.

 

[Eminem]

Erstad's got GEE-ARR-EYE-TEE grit.

But does it help his OBP?

 

[J2 Cool]

This game sure is a blast. I love watching 7-8 scoreless/hitless innings. :lol

edit: WHOOO!! Does this work everytime?

 

[Eminem]

Will "white flag" Ohman coming in

 

[Eminem]

Jacque Jones is a good fielder.

 

[NomarTyme]

Nice fielding.

 

[Flizzzipper]

Jacque Jones :lol

 

[Link]

If you're gonna let the ball just skip by you like that, you may as well go for the diving catch.

 

[Eminem]

Peavy pinch hitting :lol :lol

 

[J2 Cool]

I say trade Jaque for some prospects, start Pie in his place.

If you're gonna let the ball just skip by you like that, you may as well go for the diving catch.

exactly.

 

[ianswoody]

It ain't ovah!

 

[NomarTyme]

OMG, horrible.

 

[Eminem]

:lol :lol :lol


Marquis pinch running too :lol

 

[J2 Cool]

Nice job redeeming yourself their jaque.

Oh crap, Cedeno? Book it.

 

[ianswoody]

Cedeno = over. Dammit. LOOKING TOO! OMG

 

[Eminem]

Looking in extras. Nicely done.


Most entertaining game I've seen all year, though.

 

[J2 Cool]

:lol :lol :lol Ronny. Go home.

 

[Karakand]

But does it help his OBP?

OBP is for pussies!

Peavy pinch hitting :lol :lol

OMG :lol :lol :lol

 

[Gruco]

Man, I've made close to 10% of my neogaf post totals in this thread, and it's only good for #15?

I mean, I've been too old for this shit for a while now, but still.

Also, I will save my opinion re: the D-backs being legit for Micah Owings start tonight.

 

[R_GILL]

Hopefully Chacin doesn't get rocked too hard. What's the Over under on how many home runs he gives up today?

 

[Fifty]

I'm gonna say 2 and I'll take the over.

 

[Eminem]

Holy shit Matuzaka is pitching and it isn't on ESPN?
