2011 MLB Season Discussion: Joey Votto MVP Edition

[Akiyama]

Interesting development, one of our high rated A pitching prospects just got pulled from the game for no particular reason. Maybe a deal went down......

Lol. Have fun with Beltran for a couple months.

[Akiyama]

Giving up back to back D: Bad Jair.

[Moss]

Beltran is a beast, I would be happy to have him. However if we are giving up a top prospect I would rather get a young'n like Michael Bourn that we can control for a few years.

Beltran definitely isn't worth a rental unless the price is low low.

He's given up 5 HRs all year. Now he's given up 8 :D

Groin strain

[Akiyama]

Oh look, Proctor's warming up. So congrats on the win Headspace if he gets in game.

[Akiyama]

Uggla is back baby. Fucking winner.

So you'll see Kimbrel instead. May make it fun.. but better than Proctor.

Brewers'll do that to ya.

Even without Brauny.

Betancourt'd.

Fucking Joe West is like the worst umpire in the game right now. So many shitty calls behind the plate. Ball barely above huff's shoe called a strike, another pitch belt high called a ball. WTF. Also ROFL at Morgan flipping off the fans. If he's not fined, then Selig is a biased piece of shit.

[Demosthenes11]

how can you flip off sf fans. They are the most cordial fans ive ever seen lol

I get how you'd assume that is what happened if you just saw this:
http://willturman.com/images/NyjerMorgan.gif
and didn't know much about Nyjer Morgan - but he's not flipping anyone off, that's his "2-outs" move.

He's a very animated guy - but notice that his pinky and pointer finger are out, not his middle - it's the spiderman hand position.

Fans were giving it to him all game and he gave it back some, but there was no flipping off.

[Moss]

And when players do actually flip off or mouth off at fans it is usually for good reason.

[Demosthenes11]

crowd too high to tell the difference

[Melena]

At the end of the clip, it really looks like he only has one finger up, you see two, then looks like only one so pretty close.

[archibaldcrane]

Heh. Still not a middle finger involved though.
