2011 MLB Season Discussion: Joey Votto MVP Edition

[Akiyama]

Braves coming up. incoming sweeping the Braves outta the playoff hunt lol (pleasedon't)

[Trichocyst]

Don't see it happening. The Phillies could have won game 2 tonight, but they were throwing out a patchwork of relievers.

[Demosthenes11]

GIANTS (are out)

[Trichocyst]

Suddenly that Tim Lincecum sig looks very sad.

[Bregor]

I think for the first time in years I wonder to myself, "Is the Yankees Sox game on TV?"

Boston missing the postseason is just too tantalizing to think about.

[Moss]

ATL with only a 1 game lead now

TB and BOS will be even if the current score holds I think. If we miss the playoffs, the Rays better get in at least.

[Soa]

Well the Phillies already said that Wednesday is a bullpen game, and that Lee and Oswalt will be on pitch/innings counts, so you have a good chance of beating us at least 2 of 3.

[Alderaan]

Gogo Astros.

[Akiyama]

lol, thanks useless Braves offense. I can't believe coming into the year, I thought this offense would mash.

[Alderaan]

I expected 25hr's and 100 rbi's from Heyward. With him regressing and Uggla sucking for the first few months, i'm amazed we're on the verge of 90 wins. Goes to show how impressive our starting pitching has been, minus Lowe.

[*Shinzon*]

I'd just like to thank the Red Sox for their epic collapse so now people will stop mentioning how bad the Mets' collapse was.

Cannot believe we're tied up with two games left. I had come to terms a while back that we werent making the playoffs...so insane. Crazy thing is the only serviceable pitcher atm for the Sox just lost tonight. Their pitching has been total shit lately. Go Orioles!

I'm totally going to the Rays game on Wednesday, last game of the season...will be big no matter what. And tickets are so cheap. I'm just psyched these last couple games are actually meaningful :D

[Ohemgee]

Ozzie Guillen to the Marlins for two minor league players (unreleased names)

Wow. Was listening to the Scott Van Pelt show earlier and he was going to talk to Ozzie, but then Ozzie couldn't come on at the time because he got pulled into a meeting. I figured he was getting fired or w/e.. but wow, lol. That's crazy. Good for the Marlins. now maybe someone will tear Hanley Ramirez a new one and people will pay attention to the Marl...hahahahahaha.

Oh god, almost made it. Almost.

has been.. but yeah. Braves hit the rough patch of injuries that the Giants had, and all that. I expected a wild card.. but with 9 games down to like.. 1.. talk about heart attack inducing. Cards really fucked up tonight losing to the Stros, though. Braves need to take the next two.

fun fact: Venters led us in WAR(~4.2 range iirc)

Wish I could go, have to work though. God this has been an unexpected and incredible year either way.

Why he isn't DFA'd yet, I dunno.

Oh wait, yeah I do. The Braves paid him an assload of cash.
