PetrolCB Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 This Alex Rodriguez thing is so stupid. Why couldn't they just let him to at least get 700? Girardi is toting this not being responsible to do the retirement tour bs, even though he kept starting (and batting second!) Jeter during his dog ass final year. They possibly could've gotten SOMETHING for him at the deadline or on waivers. Sounds impossible, but somebody would've probably signed him, if not for skills then at least because he's on the precipice of a pretty serious accomplishment. That's a money grabber I'm a Phillies, not a Yankees fan so there's no bias or preference to this argument. I just generally think it's dumb.

Meeting gets called, one sentence is spoken, everyone agrees, and off they go about the rest of their days. Thanks for the laugh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Matt Holliday broke his thumb. Poor baby.

Ryan Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 It fills me with such joy even when my team is doing bad. I'll even root for the Cubs over anyone else in the playoffs just to get the curse thing out of the way. If Miami and AZ can have 2 WS a piece in the last 20some years, let the Cubs have one every century or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhock Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 The rain pouring onto A-Rod's pregame ceremony, sending him trotting quickly into the dugout while holding his commemorative autographed base...it's one of those little things to treasure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take the RBI double helping the Yankees to a win over that. It got a little dusty in my living room at the end seeing Alex hug his daughters on the field.

hammerva Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Well if you heard a closer with a questionable attitude and diminishing talents then Papelbon is now on the market because the Nats just released him.

I love the fact that this game is coming up on 150 years of professional play, and there is still stuff happening for the first time. Judge destroyed that fucking thing, by the way. I also like that Austin's came back on the field and Judge's landed in the net, so they got them back real easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
