2009 MLB season discussion*

What does 200 million buy you? An offense that has gotten 7 hits in 15 innings off the Nationals starting pitching.

We're great!

This page is now only about how bad the team you root for sucks.

Fact

The Giants just proved why they're one of the worst organizations in all of sports today. They committed 4 horrible defensive plays in one inning to allow the Angels to beat them and our manager pinch hit for a guy who had hit a double and a home run today for the coldest player on our team. Fucking pathetic.

[Pringles]

Hey look at the bright side. At the end of the year, at least the Nationals can say they got Strasburg and they beat the Yankees. Manny Acta can retire with the sweet victory of winning against the most expensive starting pitching in history.

I told you. Watch the 4 game slide inc.

[Akiyama]

They'll still crush the Braves. They completely own Lowe and Vazquez as far as I remember.

Kevin Youkilis is colder than the Arctic Circle pre-Global Warming right now.

Kevin Youkilis is colder than the Arctic Circle pre-Global Warming right now.

Was bound to happen considering he was batting 400 with a 600 OBP for a solid 2 months (was out injured for a bit, but still)

And I hate Kevin Youkillus

[Pringles]

Pretty sure even Kevin Youkillus hates Kevin Youkillus on the inside

[Ensam]

the marlins offense sucks and the Giants are the only team that can say they're worse

0-15 RISP tonight

I'M SURE GLAD EMILIO BONIFACIO IS OUR STARTING THIRD BASEMAN

[Ensam]

I mean seriously, for all you guys complaining

Can you really beat "Emilio Bonifacio is starting at third base"????

"And starting at first base, Rich Aurillia!"

Hell, he even started a few games at third for us when Pablo was hurt.

Aurilla is atleast bench player. Bonifacio was leading the majors in AB not too long ago and he's still top 5. Plus, atleast Aurilla used to be good, including last year. Bonifacio has never been more than ass. hey, he was ass in the past, he'll be good now!

During the broadcast yesterday, I was informed that Soriano hasn't had a multi-hit game since May 17th. Thank God we have the Indians this weekend.

Roughly half an hour until the party starts. Happy 500th consecutive sell-out, Red Sox.

Free Baseballs!

YAY!

What a clusterfuck after the game last night lol.

They decided to give the baseballs away between the 8th/9th inning, so people were obtaining them....going back into the game, and launching them into the crowd all night. haha

[Headspace]

Ugh, Maloney's going to be good, but he needs to be in relief.

Still better than Bailey but I would like Volquez back in his spot.

[Gregorio]

The Ibanez jersey I ordered came in today...along with the announcement that he's on the DL for 15 days. ....awesome...

The hell? How are the Braves winning? Also, Tommy Hanson can't find the strikezone.

I'm not worried about Youk or Bay. I think they're getting too worried about continuing their stellar performances, and I've noticed a lot less patience at the plate from both of them in recent games. I doubt it's the pitching that's throwing them off, I think they're just psyching themselves out. I mean if Papi can hit .391 and slug 1.042 in the last 9 games after the kind of season he's had, then I think Youk and Bay just need a mental readjustment. Don't know if anyone saw one of Youk's strikeouts against the Marlins yesterday, but he got pretty pissed. Threw his helmet down and everything. He's expecting a lot from himself, maybe too much.They'll find their spots again and they'll start hitting in the clutch when it counts.
