  1. Oh my god, the ump in the bottom of the ninth of the nationals-tigers game just tossed espinosa and Harper. Harper didn't really leave the dugout, next batter hits a walkoff homer. Harper came out to cheer with everyone and blatantly, on camera, yelled at the ump "hey horsefeathers you!". Ahahaha I love him
  2. Story of zimmerman's series http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160509/b7b5353197436925e8979a0e2d029a6d.jpg
  3. Sczcur is really starting to impress me. He's just been playing solid baseball. Him and La Stella both.
  4. So I was talking to a friend about arrieta and the baseless talk about him using PED's last night and this is what I sent. "He changed mechanics and stuff too when he came over to the cubs. The orioles tried making him get rid of the twist in his windup and it fucked with him. Everyone knew he had a good arm, he was a fairly highly regarded prospect. also, the orioles don't like the pitchers in their system throwing cutters, but the cubs guys love the pitch. It really sets up his repertoire well. So he came to the cubs organization, was allowed to do his natural delivery, and got to throw cutters. He's been really good almost the whole time he's been here, and nigh untouchable for a while now. Its not like his velocity went up, so no suggestion of steroid use there. he has a crazy training regiment (look it up, he's nuts), which explains his endurance and going late into games. I dunno, it just seems like this is media outlets trying to muck up things for.. some reason? Attention I suppose, but that's a pretty shitty way to drub up ratings. And the casual fan/espn watcher wouldn't know any of the stuff they didn't hear stephen a Smith and skip bayless speculate. They hear "it might be steroids" and none of the mechanical changes." That was the night before Theo's comments on the issue. Just made me feel on the ball to see my comments line up as closely as they do with his.
  5. Obviously the team isn't good enough yet, and we need to upgrade until we get at least 4 WAR players at every position. Trade the entire farm for Buster Posey immediately, lest we risk ending the season with a winning percentage south of .600.
  6. Man, talk about the dynamic of the playoffs suddenly shifting if curry is hurt bad.
  7. I love plays like this, where you can see the high-paced decision making in action of just trying to touch the base without being tagged.
  8. My one game was Arrieta beating the Cardinals.
  9. WOW Ronaldo's third goal of the game to pull ahead on aggregate against Wolfsburg was pretty remarkable. Right through the wall on a FK into the corner of the net.
  10. No clue, especially with where that strike three to Rizzo was called.
  11. Heyward's baserunning just bought us a run.
  12. our lineup just makes me shake my head and laugh to myself, but Schwarber being out makes me really sad. We didn't even get one glorious Schwarber dong this year and I feel kind of heartbroken at that prospect. On a completely random note, every time I read UMFan's name I read it as UMF-fan and have to think about what the hell UMF is. I do a similar thing with the program CCleaner and call it CC-cleaner, so maybe its just me. Just figured I'd share that with you all.
  13. Seriously, nothing gets the juices flowing for me more than when rizzo cranks one and he drops to his knee to do it.
  14. Not really for or against the rule because I felt like it could be changed, but also kinda like takeout slides. That having been said, bautista literally reached out to pull at his leg. If I was the ump I probably would've thought about calling interference even before the new rules were devised.
  15. I dunno, I've enjoyed these espn guys this game. I think kurkjian is my favorite of espn's baseball guys.
  16. Jake is getting nastier as the game goes on haha I love it
  17. Got another one too. Haven't thought about these songs in years, but my parents used to play them occasionally when I was younger.
  18. I really rarely listen to christian music.This is the only christian-ish song I know. I think its pretty good.
  19. Full video evidence and nothings gonna happen
  20. Man this is pretty messed up.
  21. Group A: Bryce Harper Group B: Paul Goldschmidt, Giancarlo Stanton Group C: Miguel Cabrera, Kyle Schwarber, Troy Tulowitzki Group D: Alex Gordon, Maikel Franco, Addison Russell, Yangervis Solarte, Jason Heyward WC: PM'd
  22. Yeah bukie, for the most part I did. Really only liked two teams coming into the tournament, UNC and OU, and I have both in the championship game. I picked a couple minor upsets like wichita state winning a few, but by and large I picked by the numbers. Kansas losing dampens my run, but I had them losing next round regardless.
