Meathead or not, I wish we had a Brian McCann. [expletive] Carlos Gomez.

Well yeah, I'd like to have Carlos Gomez on the Cubs as well. But what he did was still bat [expletive] crazy.

Got to be a little frustrating for the Rangers to see both the Rays and Indians on six-game win streaks.

 

 

I'm sure, but they made their bed by playing like ass for the better part of two weeks.

I despise the Yankees, but the moment when Rivera was taken out of the game tonight was pretty freaking awesome. One of the best scenes on a baseball diamond I can remember seeing.

agreed. yankees did the send-off perfectly (well, besides having him close out a world series game). i always admired the way he went about things - seemed like nobody ever had a bad word to say about him. even red sox fans, who hate everyone associated with the yankees, seemed to have a lot of respect for him.

 

leaving out his rookie year, when he was mostly a starter, he had 11 seasons with an ERA under 2.00 and only 7 over 2.00. as a reliever, batters hit .207/.257/.284/.541 against him. pretty damn good.

He should be a unanimous first-ballot HoFer, but some dick writer will keep him off just to be "that guy"

So should lots of guys. I'm not going to shed a tear for a guy who pitches 70 innings a season getting 94% while guys like Jeff bagwell can't even get it for no apparent reason

Room got a bit dusty all of the sudden as I watched that.

Jeffrey Loria has fired Prez of Baseball Ops Larry Beinfest. #marlins

Someone get a microphone in front of Giancarlo Stanton immediately.

Isn't he the guy basically responsible for getting them their good, young talent?

[Guest]

Yes, Beinfest is good, he's been the GM since 2002.

[Tracer Bullet]

I don't understand why Freeman was ejected, and McCann wasn't. McCann did far more to instigate that brawl than Freeman.

lol "fired." what a shame for Beinfest!

[XZero771679666304]

It goes without saying, but Jeffrey Loria is a despicable piece of [expletive] [expletive].

 

No doubt he is trying to deflect blame for buttfucking the Miami fans and taxpayers on to Beinfest.

 

On the plus side, Beinfest can go find a new job where his boss isn't satan.

[SouthSideRyan]

Can we add him to the superfriends?

[TruffleShuffle]

i assume there will be plenty of interest in beinfest, since he's good at his job. nobody could polish the turd that loria gave him.

Oh well yeah, I definitely missed that.

Isn't Binfest his son in law? Or is that Samson?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

It's that time of year again to root for tiebreaker scenarios.

 

Tampa Bay and Cleveland are tied for the two WC spots, with Texas a game behind.

 

If two teams end up tied for the last spot, then there's a tiebreaker game to get in to the Wild Card play-in game.

 

If it's a three-way tie for two spots, then you get:

Day 1: A and B play, winner gets into the WC game

Day 2: Loser of Day 1 and C play, winner gets into WC game

Day 3: WC game

[SouthSideRyan]

Isn't Binfest his son in law? Or is that Samson?

 

That's Samson, stepson, actually, ex-stepson I believe, which is just...weird.

 

He's on the outs now as well I believe.

 

Hopefully this means Loria is descending into madness and will soon become a Howard Hughes type, only more dead.

Zee Rays are choking!!!!

 

CHOKING!!!

All we need is a Minnesota win to send it to a three-way tie for two spots heading into the final day.

[Boris]

Screw that. Go Cleveland!!!
