2010 MLB Season Discussion

[Headspace]

You mad? Stay mad.

[Alderaan]

So........ Atl with a 4 game lead at the AS break, i'll take it.

Braves have 74 games left on their schedule of which 41 are home games.

The only NL team over .500 on the road in SD.

My biggest worry is what Atl can do against left handed pitching in the post season, privided they actually make it.

[Stiker]

Rangers swept by the Orioles in a four-game series. What a fantastic fucking way to limp into the All Star break.

[*Shinzon*]

So the game before the break all my pitchers in the fantasy league decided today would be as good as ever to just fucking M E L T D O W N. Ah well, at least the Mets avoided the sweep and are gonna have backups in SF.

[*Shinzon*]

Anyone here got ESPN insider access and want to post what the article that says Ted Lilly to the Yanks has legs, I can't for the life of my understand why the Yankees want to bury Hughes in the bullpen.

[Akiyama]

Fuck ESPN Insider.

I use this: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/

Good site for following specific teams and all the talks around them.

[Moss]

The headline is wrong, it actually says the Mets are interested.

I know, I usually use that. That's why I was asking about the insider thing. The Lilly to Yanks rumor hasn't been posted on MLBTR yet. Though I think moss just answered it.

ESPN insider just puts up headlines that would make big news based on one line in some obscure article, it's a really bad place to get rumors

[Moss]

Well that was from the "MLB Rumors" section, they just fucked up the headline.

[toqabowl]

toqabowl, you watching this game? lol

quentin is geeked out of his mind

Quentin was batting .201 on June 13th with 10 HRs and 33 RBI in 55 games. Since then he has hit .368 with 11 HRs, 28 RBI, and 18 Runs in the last 21 games.

Oh I watched the full game^^

Shit was fucking crazy! I hope we can keep this momentum on thursday when we start our road trip.

Yeah the Mention of Lilly to the Mets I saw, Just saw that Headline on ESPN NY and it confused me. It'll probably clear up tomorrow and if it's got any weight will be on MLBTR. On that note, I don't watch any cubs baseball, I know Lilly doesn't throw hard, but what kind of pitcher is he?

[Moss]

flyball pitcher, low WHIP since he doesn't walk many guys. When he is off he gives up a lot of HRs, Citi Field would suit him I should think.

[Cephius]

He pitched pretty well when he was a Yankee too, don't think he'd have any trouble coming back here

[Conrad]

Since it's the All-Star Break, I'm gonna update my predictions from the beginning of the season.

First, the original standings:

NL East: Phils
NL Central: Cardinals
NL West: Rockies
NL WC: Giants

AL East: BoSox
AL Central: Tigers
AL West: Mariners
AL WC: Yankees

NLE: Phils
NLC: Reds
NLW: Padres
NLWC: Braves

ALE: Yankees
ALC: White Sox
ALW: Rangers
ALWC: Rays

World Series: Reds over Rays in 6.

NL Cy Young: Josh Johnson should win it, Jimenez will win it.
NL MVP: Votto, Jimenez, or Halladay

Don't follow AL enough to name an MVP or CY winner.

[Cephius]

Division Winners:

AL:

East: Yankees
Central: Twins
West: Mariners
WC: Rays

NL:

East: Phillies
Central: Brewers
West: Giants
WC: Cardinals

Ugh fuck me for buying into the Seattle bandwagon. At least my other AL picks are still alive. Go Twins!

As for the NL... oi. I guess the Cardinals as the WC isn't a bad choice, I have no idea why I liked the Brewers so much. Phillies aren't out of it in the NL east so I suppose I can still go 5/8

[Cephius]

also lol:

NL's bottom 3 of the lineup: Ethier/Hart/Molina

AL's bottom 3 of the lineup: Mauer/Cano/Crawford

Won't matter after about 3 innings but rofl

Other than Molina/Mauer that really isn't that big of a difference. Ethier has been raking all season, remember he missed a lot of time with an injury.

[Alderaan]

Ugh, i've always hated these up close camera angles on hitters in the derby. Can't really see how hard they really hit the ball that way.

[Aksannyi]

Oh, my God. I can't believe they have Will Ferrell doing Harry Carey. First thing I saw when I changed the channel.
