Argonath Diver Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I really like the M's contract they worked out. If he truly becomes a generational star with staying power he'll be paid like one. If he is Very Good he'll have an opportunity for a opt out and new contract at 29. Also had a blast watching Ichiro the other day. Possibly the most likable baseball star ever?

DMC Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Judge hit his 51st tonight. The way the Yanks' season is going, I predict he'll get to 60 in about two weeks, then test positive for PEDs. Tywin et al. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywin et al. Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Also, I didn’t know sex at the ballpark could lead to six months in the pokey. People in California are prudes. I’m sure nothing will happen to the other fans caught in Toronto though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingintheNorth4 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 It might be a mere coincidence, but the White Sox have played so much better ever since TLR went on medical leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Damn, Yankees really looking like they might blow that 15.5 game lead they had a month and a half ago, or whatever. Their offense can’t look any worse. Starters have been more than adequate lately too. Wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argonath Diver Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Got to see Albert hit 695 at Busch yesterday. Unforgettable moment. I got to see the incredible 4.5 hour Cards/Yankees marathon this season, which was the most fun I've ever had at a live game. It's been a hell of a season for Redbird fans. I'm still a bit delirious. Thank you David Ross for not walking him - though the next two batters were Goldschmidt and Arenado, so I understand the logic. Why he didn't put in a righty for the inning is sheer idiocy, of course. DireWolfSpirit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I hated Millar the most during that awful 2004 season, back when I was younger and actually loathed everything about certain players. But yeah, Damon would’ve been the obvious pick. Nice win by Judge and the triple-A roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argonath Diver Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I'm glad I can share my seething hatred of the 2004 (and 13 in my case) Red Sox with the Yankee denizens of the board. 04 was the most emotionally invested I ever was with a team (til perhaps this year!)

There's a crazy stat, I can't recall it specifically, but basically over the last 20 years the Twins have a winning percentage over .500 against every other team in the league combined, but their winning percentage against the Yanks is sub .300 and they've lost 13 straight playoff games to them.

I worked 9 years in New York and my seething animosity of the Red Sox (and Pats and Celtics to a lesser but tangible amount) made me never want to even visit Boston, despite my heritage and a vibrant Irish trad music scene. Also, of course I'm biased, but I find Masshole sports fans as dismissing as anyone of anything Midwest, and that's a very large sample size of a career of bar chatter.

Have to say I've always enjoyed Boston. It's certainly in part due to my childhood vacations being two weeks at Cape Cod that naturally included a couple days there, but I've still frequently visited due to conferences and such and other than the traffic/street layout it is easily one of my favorite cities. As a Yankee fan I'll of course never admit to saying that without sharp questioning. As for their fans, yeah they generally suck pretty hard, but again as a Yankees fan...
