Niners Fan in CT Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Listening to Simmons pod right now. It's pretty entertaining. I haven't gotten to the Jack-O part but he and Sal discussing SummerSlam is cool.
Kuetsar Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Albert Pujols - done for the year Why are they releasing this now? It should have been sent in April. . .
Kuetsar Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I am walking into Jeffrey Loria Memorial Stadium for the first time tonight. Thank the gods I get to see Jose Fernandez vs Yasiel Puig. If Mattingly sits Puig at any point I will run over to him and bite him on the nose. When the enraged tax payers actually do kill him, he should be preserved like Lenin and kept in permanant display. . .as a warning to any future scumbags.. . . wash and repeat for Bud selig as well. 1
Brian Fowler Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Today, Cabrera is hitting .360/.452/.689. Only eight players in history have finished seasons with numbers that high in each triple-slash category. He has 40 home runs and 120 RBIs. In a ludicrous strikeout environment, he has almost as many walks as strikeouts. He is batting .437/.552/.881 with runners in scoring position. That is not a misprint. Neither is this: With runners in scoring position and two outs, those numbers jump to .451/.594/.941.
Joe Lucia Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Its funny: Mike Trout is somehow better this year than a year ago, and he'll be lucky to finish third in the MVP voting.
Cristobal Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 And weirdly enough, this won't have been the year he'll actually have deserved to win.
Craig H Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 David DeJesus dealt to the Nats for a PTBNL, which literally makes no sense whatsoever for Washington. As a follow up to this story, DDJ was subsequently placed on waivers by the Nationals. Theo or Jed had to have been calling in an old favor owed to them.
RIPPA Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 DC beat reporters were speculating that the Nats made the claim to block a rival team and weren't expecting the Cubs to accept their offer.
Tabe Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Today, Cabrera is hitting .360/.452/.689. Only eight players in history have finished seasons with numbers that high in each triple-slash category.

That is not a misprint. Neither is this: With runners in scoring position and two outs, those numbers jump to .451/.594/.941. Cabrera won the Triple Crown last year - and rightfully the MVP, too - and is killing his numbers in every category this year. 1.141 OPS vs .999 last year. Unbelievable. Assuming he plays 37 of the last 38 games, he's on pace for .360/53/158. Only Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx have ever gone .360/50/150 in a season. And he's doing it at key times - tons of HRs in the 9th inning and so on. Carrying the team while Prince Fielder struggles. Sure am glad he's playing for my guys
ChesterCopperpot Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Ryan Dempster gets suspended for 5 games
Craig H Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Ryan Dempster gets suspended for 5 games That will give him plenty of napping opportunities.
SirFozzie Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 which means he'll appeal, drop the appeal after a start, and just have an extra day off before his next start.. and he gives up five day's pay
Joe Lucia Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 which means he'll appeal, drop the appeal after a start, and just have an extra day off before his next start.. and he gives up five day's pay Boston's got off days on Thursday and Monday, so taking the suspension now is a no-brainer. Also, the suspension is paid.
odessasteps Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Drunk Cardinals Fan Tries To Kick Cubs Fan, Falls On Own Head Instead http://deadspin.com/drunk-cardinals-fan-tries-to-kick-cubs-fan-falls-on-ow-1173592481
piranesi Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 What evidence is there that this is not just two Cubs fans acting normally? This internet "journalism" is outrageous. This is literally no different than Reddit and the Boston bombings. It is literally the same level of outrageous. Also, too, Orwell Hitler. I, for one, shall no longer patronize Deadspin until they change their outlandish editorial policies and unban my account so that I can add funny annotations to pictures again.
piranesi Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 As a Patriot, he's using the olde fpelling of ouor foundingh fathers. I'm sure most of you sad lot don't even get the scholarly reference to Benjamin Franklin's runaway hit catch phrase in support of public literacy from the Summer of 1785. Cretens.
Dolfan in NYC Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 @Friedo790: Yasiel Puig was in the visitors clubhouse here at #Marlins Park & looked at us gathered there and yelled, "F**K the media" and left the room Hanley Ramirez is rubbing off on him quite well. Just a couple of shots, I was straight down the right field line Here's Puig warming up between innings: And Giancarlo belted one into the terrifying sculpture in Left-Center. Light that fucker up! And somehow, the Marlins won!

pipGofern Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I've been seeing a lot of people pulling for the Bucs on this board and other more sport-centric ones. At first I thought it was just baseball fans being happy that our 20 year unfathomable run of misery has finally subsided.Now I've come to realize it's just that a whole lotta baseball fans hate the Cardinals.
piranesi Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 People don't know what's good for them. That's why we have the head:
Tabe Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 And Ichiro just collected his 4000 hit An "eh" milestone in my eyes. Yeah, the Japan league is a tough league but it's really AAAA ball.
odessasteps Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Im a total Ichiro mark, so a great day for me.
