MLB '08 Season Discussion

[Headspace]

If I didn't go to school/reside in Florida at the moment, I'd be rooting for the rays, but fuck are the girls next door annoying as hell.

[Correction]

Man the Rays are hitting monsters.

[Kyo]

Edit: Longoria hR!

[jmc]

[jmc]

[fren.]

6 homers a piece for Upton and Longo. Jesus christ.

Ortiz has 1 RBI so far in the playoffs, hi2udecline?

[Kyo]

God these guys are crazy good hitters, fucking monsters like correction said.

[Cephius]

And FINALLY the bloom has come off the Dice-K rose. About freaking time too. Sorry Boston, you can't come down from 3-0 and 3-1 every year.

God damn... 6 homers for Upton.. 6 homers for Longoria. I believe that's a record in both respects. Jesus christ. Not to mention Pena, who's their real power monster. Man, I remember taking Longoria at the all-star break in fantasy baseball. Was a great pickup. People were like "15 homers and 70 RBI probably".. psh. Bastard exploded.

While I have no problem congratulating the Rays, it's a bit hard to watch as your team proceeds to throw in the towel in the first inning. AGAIN. Seriously, either the Angels sucked WAAAAY more than anyone thought they did, or the Boston pitchers forgot that there are games after the ALDS.

The thing about those two, is their rookies and they only can get bigger and better, both are play off and rookie records. Going to be intresting to see how their careers go once upton puts on some more muscle he's going to be another Griffey Jr, yah I said it, he's that calibur.

Hope he doesn't end up on the Reds.

Upton isn't a rookie. He regressed this year, but fuck if he didn't make up for it in these two weeks.. As for Griffey, his brother got the Griffey comps, BJ's best comp is probably a young Andre Dawson.

As for this series, there isn't any doubt that Manny would have changed the complexion of it. There hasn't been one player since I've followed the sport that's made me more nauseous than Manny.

I said basicaly rookies, guess could have worded it better, but he's only 24 like longoria and both are going to be great layers.

[Akiyama]

Yeah. Upton is 24 and Longoria is 23. What gets me though is not just the Rays fundamentals, but their fielding is top notch. That and their situational hitting as been holyshitwtfawesome. Great series for the Rays for sure.

Edit: Like that play at 2nd right there.

[Kyo]

Hmm coulda swore longoria was 24, oh well one year off, still a beast!

[Akiyama]

LOL @ Pena's bunt single. Man. Talk about taking what they give you.

[shieldsofwindurst]

I've officially given up on this season. Congrats to the Rays.

[Kyo]

Upton for MVP?
