Ramsay B. Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 So The Streak is in real jeopardy. Judge will probably get another ab in the 9th though. He also hit a moonshot earlier. @dmc515 I saw that you're a 49er fan in the NFL forum. Disappointing, man. Didi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take that all day, every day. Also, yes, Didi! RE: The Niners - yeah, my dad was born and raised in the Bay Area (my mom moved there too around high school and they both went to Berkeley). While me and my brother were born and raised in upstate New York, dad made damn sure we were niners fans. Considering this decision was made around 1990-93, that was an easy sell. OTOH, while I'll root for the (baseball) Giants, the Yankees got to me during the same time period. The Blue Jays were in the running as well (technically the closest geographical team), but, Murica. I'm also an Orlando Magic fan for no real reason other than my dad didn't care about basketball and the Knicks did not appeal to me (brother's a Knicks fan, poor bastard). I got really into the Shaq/Penny combo as a kid. Our childhood dog was named Penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Oh, also, Greg Bird played his first rehab tonight with Scranton - 1/2 with a K in 5 innings playing first. It's been hard to get up hope that he may actually contribute this year, but, on the other hand: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 This 7th inning is never fucking ending. Yankees should have blown it wide open, but didn't. Another pathetic loss to the Sawx. Why Chapman is in is beyond me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giants used to do something like this back in my Little League days. They'd have these Little league Days, wherein all the local Little Leagues were given choice seats at bleacher prices. Our entire league would take up like a quarter of a section. It was a really unique sort of community get together. It was a cool feeling to look up and down your section and pretty much know everybody there. Kind of a singular experience at a professional sporting event. One season our team captain got to throw out the first pitch. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 My Cardinals, whom I've generally banished from view since, oh, May, sure tried hard tonight to blow an 8 run 8th inning lead. What the fuck is going on with this team? No Cardinals fan seems to know. We don't like Matheny, they keep missing trade opportunities or big signings. We're having yet another season showing our bizarre ability to bring up totally unheralded rookies who inexplicably succeed at the MLB level. It has been backfiring the last two years, as most of them somehow kill it for a few hundred ABs or IP, then badly peter off and we're back to this .500 lackluster team. I have absolutely no idea how to judge this team and its future, despite trying every day to figure out what the hell is going on with them, top to bottom. Hell I change my mind on Molina's 3 year extension about every day and a half since he signed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with my family in 1989 and saw the town I grew up in (TrumbulI, CT) win the championship. I was 9 y/o and still remember a lot of the game. Ex-NHL player Chris Drury pitched and came up with a big hit I believe. Good times. I also remember my dad getting pulled over for speeding in Pennsylvania on the way home and the cop let us go with no ticket after seeing we lived in Connecticut. ETA: Grandyman off to Dodgers.

kairparavel Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The Pirates and Cards are hanging out with the LLWS teams in the bleachers and clubhouse during elimination games. I am loving this so much. Also, Go Canada! As for our heroes The Dodgers as Evil Empire, that's adorable. If you're a Giants fan go for it. Sour grapes, rivalry, whatever. They aren't owned by a Steinbrenner. Who did they add this year to 'buy' their championship (which they haven't won yet...yet) versus who worked their way up from the minor-leagues? Who is playing on this team (and making a significant contribution) that hasn't been in their system or on the roster the past two, three, four seasons? Hyperbole is fun. A know-nothing Nationals 'fan' (who apparently was an O's fan before they came to town) suggested to MC and I the other night that Kershaw pitched FOUR TIMES during the playoff series against Washington. The fuck? And whose only other comeback was that the Nats took the first series this year 2-1. Yeah. Anyways. Go ahead and hate on the Dodgers. Is it because they finally have a balanced starting rotation, which they pretty much had before Darvish? Is it because they finally have some middle relievers? Is it because they're going to have another ROTY candidate? Is it because even when they are down, they find ways to win? Is it because you have a problem with hobo-looking gingers? Is it because you don't know who Chris Taylor is? Is it because they're doing it WITHOUT Kershaw? Is it because Puig has matured into the player we knew he could be? Is it because you can't say anything bad about Dave Roberts? Is it because when you watch this team, you can clearly see the comraderie and fun they are having? Yup. Pure evil. Save it for the off-season. Everything has yet to be determined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 No, it's because they are rat-blowing degenerates. They're having fun in the middle of a potentially record setting season? WELL PAINT ME BLUE AND CALL ME A SMURF! Until they win the Series, you're just masturbating into a sock and bragging that you sweet talked it into anal. I know that joke shouldn't work on a female poster, but it's just that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a nice distraction from *looks down down down down down down the standings* Huh. How about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
