Pisscubes/Molester's Official MLB Thread NOW WITH '11!

[LolaFaun]

Guys, help me out. I remember this music video from the 80'sthat was a baseball song that was all
errors/bloopers. It's not "Centerfield" or "Glory Days" or "Sultans of Swing". I cannot remember the song. Do you remember it?

FIFA, Patriots, and now the Cardinals? This is a hater's best season ever.

[Zap Rowsdower]

If Dan Snyder loses his TTAB appeal and there's a simultaneous DOJ investigation on him, I'll donate my entire 2015 bonus to charity.

[elephants gerald]

jeff francoeur is pitching for the phillies right now

[elephants gerald]

steven fucking matz

first mets player to have 4 rbi in his debut. and he's a pitcher. a left-handed one. sitting 95 with a plus curve.

the thought of that harvey, degrom, wheeler, syndergaard, matz rotation next year...

[elephants gerald]

and this happened:

I still laugh my ass off whenever I hear the name Terdoslavich.

[Zap Rowsdower]

Well the Tigers threw in the towel on this season, for the right reasons.

I guess, let's go Mets?

[Chad]

better with the commentary but I can't figure out how to post the damn video:

So baseballs as boring as watching the grass grow right?

Uh.....

[Chad]

I love baseball more than just about anything...that said, I can see how if someone didn't grow up liking or playing it, the pace of a game can seem plodding, just really boring

but I think what makes it great, and even unique in sports, is how every moment, every pitch, is pregnant with the possibility and even expectation of something new, something unpredictable. and each game builds, or can build, to tense crescendo moments. so you get the pastoral feel of an old, slow paced game, but the excitement of building drama punctuated by individual spectacular plays/pitches/battles.

it is relaxation colliding with crisis...expectation met with release, whether deflating or exhilarating. it is the best sport

I love baseball

[Honky Kong 64]

Well said Chad.

[Chad]

how bout that kershaw/cole matchup tonight

...I'm gonna have one eye on that, no matter what else I'm doing...playoff implications too

[Spooky Apparition]

see you guys in October

that song fucking sucks but Lester's awesome and the Cubs are going to be better than your favorite team

with caldwell and jakebonz not posting anymore... I think my prediction was 100% accurate. this is the most fun baseball season I've experienced in my life (much better than '08 when a cobbled together, huge salary roster ran away with the division). And I don't even care if the Cubs get destroyed by the Cardinals in the playoffs. Seeing four rookies in the starting lineup every day and the team now going 14-1 in their last 15 games has been incredible.

[Chad]

kyle schwarber is my current fav guy

a cubs/jays series would rule

[elephants gerald]

with caldwell and jakebonz not posting anymore... I think my prediction was 100% accurate.

david wright will be back next week, matz will be back in the beginning of september. that's a big not so fast

[Zap Rowsdower]

Yeah but David Wright will be back on the DL in two weeks anyway.

[Spooky Apparition]

Their rotation is a solid Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta coming off an anomaly of a year, and a bunch of who knows.

4th best ERA in baseball. 6th in WHIP. 1st in wins. has hit as many home runs in his last 12 starts as he's given up

[Chad]

it's hard not to like Alex Rodriguez this year.

I do like him

I hope he keeps going so great...

he's clearly a hall of famer, drugs aside

I hope the Yankees make the series and he bombs off

[Chad]

it kicks off tonight...I want the Cubs or Mets to win it all.

tonight I want Astros over Yankees

my motto is: ''anyone but the Cardinals"

[Spooky Apparition]

tempering my expectations for Cubs/Pirates tomorrow night by thinking that Arrieta has to be human and pitch a less-than-flawless game at some point.

but goddamn sending the Pirates home for the winter, in front of their fans, would feel amazing.
