paul secor Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 As David Kurtz at TPM points out, even the Orioles announcers sounded thrilled when Jeter got his walkoff hit last night: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/derek-jeter-final-home-at-bat PUKE! If he played for Seattle or whatever your team is, you'd be rooting for him. Quote

ghost of miles Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Classy farewell from the fans at Fenway for Derek Jeter's finale this afternoon... felt like detente had settled over Yankee-Redsoxland for a day. Edited September 28, 2014 by ghost of miles Quote

Tony Gwynn was a great player - unfortunately he played on the wrong coast for the wrong team. (No knock on the Padres, but Gwynn just didn't get the amount of press and TV coverage that he should have.) Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 Astros are gonna have more wins than boston this season!!!!! So freakin close on this pick Quote
johnblitweiler Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 Congrats to my Royals for ending the historic 29 year post season drought! The division is still in reach, but not looking likely. Don't be pessimistic. Oakland has been losing lately and they're afflicted with the three-ex-Cubs curse. OTOH your Royals came from behind to beat my White Sox today. I was there. Beautiful sunny day, too. Quote
Neal Pomea Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 I watch a lot of Nationals' games but today I was cooking all afternoon and only walking in on the game every now and then to check the score. The tradition of announcers not jinxing the pitcher by mentioning he's got a no-hitter going kept me from knowing about it until the game was over! Quote
Dan Gould Posted September 29, 2014 Report Posted September 29, 2014 So who to root for/against in this Red Sox/Yankee absent-playoffs? Seems there are plenty of ex-Red Sox to follow but I'd never root for the Cards and Lackey was a douchebag on the way out so forget him. I'll always favor Jon Lester wherever he ends up but it seems to me that KC is the team to support as long as they're in it, since it's been so long since they played important games in September, let alone critical games in October. I think in the NL I have to go with "anyone but L.A." but God help me if its a Dodger-Cards NLCS. Until then, it's Pittsburgh, as the underdogs getting another chance, and San Fran if Peavey is pitching. Who you got? Quote
Matthew Posted September 29, 2014 Report Posted September 29, 2014 I was disappointed in the quality of baseball this year, the games seemed to take longer, with nothing going on, leaving a ton of bad games to watch. A blah year, hopefully the playoffs are better. Quote
JSngry Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Posted September 29, 2014 Not feelin' anybody in the AL except Detroit & KC...generally feel the O's but if Nellie wanted a ring, he shoulda caught that ball when he had the chance and laid off that juice. Forgiven, but not forgotten. Not feelin' anybody in the NL, period, but if Nats or Pirates break through, that would be good feelings, I suppose. Quote
GA Russell Posted September 30, 2014 Report Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) On Sept. 28, 1954, Willie Mays caught Vic Wertz's fly ball. That's sixty years ago yesterday. Edited September 30, 2014 by GA Russell Quote
JSngry Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Posted September 30, 2014 60 years from today somebody somewhere will be saying "A. J. Hinch". Or maybe not? I'm not above making the occasional risky bet for amusemental purposes, but...think I'm gonna let this one ride.... Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted September 30, 2014 Report Posted September 30, 2014 What an insane price to ask for Derek Jeter's rookie card. 85K. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Derek-Jeter-Autographed-Classic-Best-Rookie-Baseball-Card-617-of-1200-/331181794816?pt=US_Autographed_Trading_Cards&hash=item4d1bf92600 Quote
Matthew Posted September 30, 2014 Report Posted September 30, 2014 Unbelievable! Joe West is the crew chief for the umpiring grew for Wednesday's NL playoff game. Geesh MLB, why not have Angel Hernandez be behind the plate? That way, the suckitude level is at ten.... Quote
JSngry Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Posted September 30, 2014 Joe West must have pictures on somebody. Quote
JSngry Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Posted October 1, 2014 Hey Royals, YEAH! Hey Oakland, thanks for taking on the how the fuck did all THAT happen load, we were damn tired of it here, and were wondering what took you so long. Enjoy! Royals, please, just go and get those Angels, they're relly not all that, just maintain focus and aim to make Sciosia pout every chance you get. It'll be fun. And don't keep me up so damn late this time! Oakland, phaw, for two years I was all, they ain't that good and we'd play just that much worse than them and, well, ok, then, good enough. And then this year, early on I was, oh fuck it, ok, guess they are that good, and right about then was when they started looking down. See folks, just...don't look down. Now, what I really want to see is a Tigers/Pirates series, but Royals will do just fine, if it rolls out like that.Just no Angels, please. HA! Oakland lol at Oakland. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 One of the great playoff games of all time, and the biggest win for my boys in 29 years, and I fell asleep in the 7th... Quote
JSngry Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Posted October 2, 2014 Bucs making sure I get to bet on time tonight...thanks, I guess, but was hoping for at least a better game. In the meantime, don't bother showing Miggy the money, he's not wanting it: http://espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2014/story/_/id/11625438/miguel-cabrera-detroit-tigers-sign-paperwork-playoff-bonus Good luck, Tigers! Quote
Scott Dolan Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Tigers shouldn't have been in the playoffs to begin with. How they beat the Royals for the division still befuddles me. That bullpen is one of the worst I've ever seen. Quote
johnblitweiler Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 I love the way Kansas City wins games. This is the tension that baseball is supposed to offer. Quote
JSngry Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Posted October 5, 2014 Giants & Nats play two games, only get credit for one..hello MLBPA. where is your leadership? Quote
Stefan Wood Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 DC teams doing what they do best in the post season. Fail. Quote
