That Rangers 1 through 5 is the best in baseball. It's a brutal lineup.

[AirBrian]

Ah, nothing like giving up a 2-out homer in the bottom of the 8th to tie the game. :-(

 

[vas_a_morir]

Coco's matrix-style punch dodge was the greatest thing about this game. And if anyone didn't hear Coco's post game comments, please let me paraphrase: Coco thinks the Rays are a bunch of little girls.

The Sox just showed the team with the most home games in baseball that away games are hard and stuff. Especially when your shortstop tries to break a baserunner's fingers and the other guy fights back. Coco can't hit a baseball or a throw a punch, but he's got fire!

Makes you wonder: why didn't he dodge the baseball? haha.

 

[NomarTyme]

Come on Saito.

Edit: Ugh.

 

[Zep]

Schoenweis(?) coming in the bottom 9th...

Isn't that a bad thing?

 

[CajoleJuice]

He's been pretty good this year.

 

[cashman]

This is the year, the NL absolutely kicks the AL's ass in the all star game.

 

[rc213]

Shaito is more like it, The whole pitching staff is sucking donkey balls on top of the Single A type offense.

Who do you think will be the starter for each team this year? (I don't really follow AL)

[CajoleJuice]

I'm honestly laughing because that was so fucking disgusting.

 

[NomarTyme]

At least advance the base runner Dewitt and Hu.

 

[LJ11]

All you can do is laugh. :lol

Reyes had a hell of a game. We didn't deserve to win, Banks was pretty filthy.

 

[RBH]

:lol Mets

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

And there we have Lols Mets.

 

[Zep]

Hahahaha...

reading the sportsday forum is even better.

Let's go Mets!

 

[NomarTyme]

Come on Dodgers! Give me hope!

Edit: What a great sports day for me.

 

[AirBrian]

Come on Wood! Give me hope!

Here comes another Wood choke.

So the Rays are set to begin their downfall. Good news ! They were getting annoying.

Spoiler

The Rays are a a solid team this year that may win more than 81 games

They still suck. I don't like what Johnny Gomes did there. He threw punches at Coco when he was on the ground wtf? It should be: Coco suspeded for around 5-8 games, Shields for 7(he's a pitcher so he needs to miss a start otherwise 5 is nothing),Gomes for 3-5 and I don't know who else. Anyways, resident AL East followers, what do you think about the season so far?

I think the redsox are comfortable enough with so many different ways they can win games. They've shown depth in all areas except maybe in the bench. Hansen looks like he's finally becoming that guy they signed for 4 million straight out of college! Also, many surprising contributions from guys in their 20's. Very different team this year definitely. Hopefully

Spoiler

ROTY

Ellsbury's back next week. I predict that the sox will stay in it througout the season, and in the playoffs anything can happen.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Come on hope! Give me Wood!

 

[CHYME]

BAIL OUT!!!

Cubs win.

 

[AirBrian]

I LOVE WOOD!

(Wait, what's going on here?)

EDIT: Poor Nomar. First the Lakers and now the Dodgers. :lol

 

[rc213]

Trade Kemp...

Ellsbury's back next week. I predict that the sox will stay in it througout the season, and in the playoffs anything can happen.

This is probably the best I've seen the sox. Manny is back to being his normal self, Ellsbury is really finding his bat now, Jd Drew is doing great, Lugo is lookin better as of late, youk is youk, etc. The only real problems right now are Dustin Pedroia who is slumping hard right now, and Papi is injured, but when he was around he was crushing th ball, so when he comes back it should be ridiculous. We've got some great people on the bench too, Cora's solid, and Casey is good enough to be an everyday player.

The pitching is solid, but not incredible. Bartolo was an amazing pick up a I think he'll have a great season, Beckett is starting to find his stuff, Dice K is injured but back soon he's doing incredible, Lester is meh to me, and Wakefield is either unhittable or awful. Masterson has looked nasty his first few starts. Aardsma is finally showing some good stuff, Delcarmen has done great his last couple outtings, Hansen is looking sharp, Lopez solid, but Okajima has been having some trouble. Papelbon looks great as always.

Eh, the gaming side is full of 12 year old kids who wonder from gamefaqs and IGN to talk about Beyblades. (I didn't know what the hell that was until I wondered over there yesterday)

 

[funkmastergeneral]

Eh, the gaming side is full of 12 year old kids who wonder from gamefaqs and IGN to talk about Beyblades. (I didn't know what the hell that was until I wondered over there yesterday)

They also hold very serious discussions about the state of the industry and how many hundreds of thousands the Wii will sell this month. Very serious business.

 

[pollo]

fuck Hanley Ramirez and Jose Reyes.

CHRISTIAN GUZMAN DEFENSE FORCE UNITE!

But BeyBlades and baseball are similar: It's about pickin up speed, running out of time. Y'know, going head to head is a way of life. As a ballplayer you gotta fall down, eat ground and get back up again...

LET'S BEYBLAAAAAADEE!

Christian Guzman's claim to fame is being part of a trade for Chuck Knoblauch. Man, did his career go down the shitter fast.

That, and I'm just not hardcore about video games like I used to be. OT for the win though.

 

[cashman]

obvious choice is Cliff Lee, if he doesn't fall apart for this last month, otherwise I really like Scott Kazmir.

Is webb still doing really good in the NL?
