odessasteps Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Just heard: Dodgers have worst record in baseball since the near perfecto from Rich Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 They have been truly atrocious for the last couple weeks. They won Kershaw's first start back from the DL, but could only muster 1 run in that game. 3-13 I think is the number since the Rich Hill game. I really don't give a fuck, because I have been waiting for the collapse to come for a long time. You can't play the way they did all season long, there has to be a cold spell. Even as bad as they have been, the lead in the West is still 10 games and they are still the best record in baseball. Also, with SD beating STL last night, that clinces them a playoff spot. They can now finish no worse than the second WC spot. Seager back tonight from being limited to hitting only over the last few days or a week, so maybe that makes the difference and they get back going again. They have gone 45-8 with Taylor/Turner/Bellinger/Seager in the lineup, so maybe he sparks something tonight. It's been real weird, everything fell apart all at once.

They'd end up with a more pro Rays crowd than if the games were played at the Trop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 All tickets are $25 and just went on sale today. I'd go to one of them but I have to wake up at 4 in the morning for work this week and getting home from a game at 1 in the morning would leave me with nowhere near enough sleep to function.

piranesi Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 There may be a few glitches in the matrix in the next few weeks, but rest assured that is only to insure that no matter what happens you will be watching the Cardinals until Christmas just as it is designed.

Craig H Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Oh for fucks sake. Al Yellon, the shithead blogger who the media seems to glom onto as the face of Cubs fandom (likely because of working for ABC 7 in the past), has made himself look like an even bigger shithead, if that was even possible. Basically, Kyle Schwarber ran a fundraiser, which raised $280,000 for first responders in honor of 9/11. Because Al is a complete fucking moron and since Schwarber hasn't been playing too well, he believes this distracted Schwarber, saying, "I'm glad he raised all of that money, but baseball has to come first." After being questioned on his lunacy, he doubled down to add "He's not being paid to raise money for charity. He's being paid to play baseball. His job has to come first, yes. If he was focusing on the fundraiser and not baseball, that’s wrong, no matter who the beneficiaries are." I hate the fans of the team I love. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about the guy and assumed your vitriol towards him was the typical hating of a superfan that happens elsewhere in part because of jealousy. I was wrong, the guy is an idiot and I have no idea how anyone can take him seriously after this. It's like something the dumbest sports talk radio caller would say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium has been cleared for use, but the Marlins didn't want to take away resources from the recovery effort. They will play in Miami again beginning Monday.

Ended up being a 10.50 restart, and the final out was recorded at 2.11 Pacific. I should have bailed from my house and just gone to the game, I can get from my house to PacBell Park in an hour and 40 minutes with no traffic. 46 minutes ago, El Dragon said: I wonder how much money you could have made by betting on Cleveland having a better record then the Dodgers at the end of the year. I have no clue, but my partner sent me a tweet from some Vegas dude that showed that from a $100 start, if you simply bet them to win every day and let your winnings ride, after yesterday's win you'd be sitting on $884K.

BobbyWhioux Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 So The A's might actually really have a new ballpark sometime soon. Here's to bringing back the iceplant, keeping (most of) the massive foul territory as a quirky home field advantage, and maybe making a short right field porch for this Matt Olson kid to whack dingers over (oh, and keep Matt Olson). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
