2011 MLB Season Discussion: Joey Votto MVP Edition

[Demosthenes11]

"I thought it was malicious and unnecessary but we are moving on."

Oh hell yes, Logan Morrison rebuttal:

and then at the end he calls posey immature and unprofessional...for not taking a phone call. ok lol "you shouldn't name call, here is an article with name-calling that supports my argument"

[Moss]

23 year old v. GM

"immature and unprofessional" v. "I hope he never plays a game again"

[archibaldcrane]

I think a few Giants fans should beat Scott Cousins into a coma after a game in the parking lot so he'll never be able to play again.

That would teach him a lesson.

[Demosthenes11]

I agree he shouldn't have said that, but honestly who gives a fuck.

You can't speak out against mud-slinging by slinging mud. saying its different because of their age is fucking stupid and a copout. baseball player should be much more professional, really, since he is making considerably more than the GM

[archibaldcrane]

People paid to throw balls and swing bats should be more professional than a businessman managing a half-billion dollar enterprise.

Gotcha.

[Conrad]

In more important news, I'm absolutely furious the Phillies optioned John Mayberry Jr. back to AAA instead of offering Michael Martinez back to the Nats.

FURIOUS

lol'd

least it's better than the braves offense!

[archibaldcrane]

Ugh. Braun's out with a sore shoulder for tonight, so they've got Mark fucking Kotsay in left. Between that and no-bat Wil Nieves behind the plate instead of Lucroy because Randy Wolf is a bitch and doesn't like Lucroy, this has all the makings of...

wait, we're up 4-1 in the 3rd?

Sweet.

[Akiyama]

Lol, Schafer derped himself in the face when a ball he bunted got deflected into him, and how he's out of the game. Sucks. Looked painful.

[FNH]

Braves replacement outfielder taken out by a fouled bunt to the face.


edit: hmm beat

[Demosthenes11]

thats pretty embarrassing.

[FNH]

the looks of the other players in the dugout as he was getting walked out was awful

[Akiyama]

Yeah, I could see a broken cheek bone in his future. Now the OF is Prado, Mather, Hinske. Sure is different from the Prado, McLouth, Heyward lineup from earlier in the year.

said it hit him on the upper left part of the nose, pretty close to his eye sounds like. Which would suck he would likely lose that eye.

[*Shinzon*]

SNY reports said it hit his nose/cheek area first. So his eye should be alright but he's gonna have a serious shiner.

[Headspace]

BUNTING IS TOO DANGEROUS AND SHOULD ONLY BE LIMITED TO SACRIFICE SITUATIONS WITH PITCHERS

[Akiyama]

Yeah, his eye's fine I'm sure. Hit his nose.

And YEAH. REMOVE BUNTING OH GOD.

[Conrad]

SELIG SHOULD CHANGE IT

[Cephius]

I am all for banning bunting, if we want to use injuries as an excuse that's fine with me

[Aksannyi]

Can we just play baseball in bubbles from now on, and change turf/grass to clouds? Jesus christ, the bitching in this thread is starting to sound like parents who are afraid that (zomg) their kids might get a scratch so they ban playgrounds and make everything out of nerf materials.

I mean I get it, people get hurt, why are we bitching about all this shit for the past like, six pages? That's the fucking risk they take, you could get hurt just as easily falling down the stairs, ban stairs now? FFS.
