shrader Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 I want the KC-Expos world series. I know the Nationals have been a solid team in recent years, but the explosion of my brain needs to be complete. Quote
LastPommerFan Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 Last night was awesome. Equally as important as scoring some runs without just hitting homers. The orioles beat the reigning Cy Young winner out-right. The Snowman they hung on them in the 8th was just running up the score. Fear the Bird. Quote
Hoss Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 No exaggeration: that strike 3 call Sanchez just got was one of the worst I've ever seen. General rule: if the catcher has to move his glove then even he knows it was a ball. Quote
LastPommerFan Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 The Tiger's bullpen is a trainwreck. A total trainwreck. Quote
inkman Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 My level of hatred for all things Yankees has no match but Jeter's handling of ass has me at a whole new level of respect. He did it right. He pounded every piece from NY to LA during his career and as it comes to an end he goes all in on this magnificence. Too many athletes marry young, cheat, divorce and have to give away the farm but Jeter did it right, sell high. Boom! http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/10/03/report-derek-jeters-hush-hush-bash-could-be-a-wedding/ Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 This Alabama Ole Miss game is amazing. Mostly because I love seeing Saban lose. Quote
Eleven Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Matt Williams might be the dumbest manager in the history of baseball. And I know that says a lot. EDIT: For the record, I wrote that before the Giants scored in the 18th. It was so stupid to pull Zimmermann. Edited October 5, 2014 by Eleven Quote

EDIT: For the record, I wrote that before the Giants scored in the 18th. It was so stupid to pull Zimmermann. It's his first year, so I'll give him a slight pass. However, Mike Rizzo is the most overrated exec in baseball. People give him credit for "good drafting," but there were no other choices than Harper and Strasburg. Rendon was an obvious pick despite his injuries. Outside of that there isn't anything to get excited about. His moves for Gonzalez and Fister are nice, but he's made a lot of questionable moves: shutting down Strasburg when the team was a true contender, moving Morse who was tearing it up in favor of fielding and never replacing the bat, acquiring an inconsistent Rafael Soriano (who was HORRIBLE in the second half this year) when he already had a fantastic back end and a few others that slip my mind. He keeps making "meh" moves but keeps gets promotions in the organization. (If you can't tell, I'm a Nationals "fan"). Quote

I haven't been a rabid fan since before the team left Montreal, but I still follow them. Yanking Zim was the ultimate act of idiocy, cost the Nats the game, and cost me about three hours. So f Matt Williams. Quote

LastPommerFan Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 The Orioles are not making Price throw enough pitches. They just need to get to the Bullpen (which may be the only thing in Detroit that is a bigger disaster than their Municipal Finances). Quote
Eleven Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Posted October 6, 2014 Yay! If this is about the Orioles, may I suggest a different first letter? Quote

dEnnis the Menace Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Ole Miss and Miss State games were absolutely amazing feats. Quote
Hoss Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Ole Miss and Miss State games were absolutely amazing feats. Definitely. Still think it's too high for them both to be at number 3. But so many teams got upset this week that somebody had to move up. Why not them? Quote
LastPommerFan Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Definitely. Still think it's too high for them both to be at number 3. But so many teams got upset this week that somebody had to move up. Why not them? Man, if the SEC East team gets the upset in the SEC championship game, College football might implode. The SEC West alone would probably be the best conference in college football. Quote

But so many teams got upset this week that somebody had to move up. Why not them? Nah. They both have earned their ranking with their games played so far, especially Miss St. with the wins over LSU and Texas A&M back to back, LSU on the road (one of the hardest places to play in College Football). Ole Miss's D is just a wrecking ball. We'll see if they can maintain it this week. Miss St has the harder test, although Texas A&M is hosting Ole Miss. Either way, they'll be good games for sure.

IKnowPhysics Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 French F1 driver Jules Bianchi was in a brutal wreck Sunday at the Japanese Gran Prix (Suzuka). Going into one of the more challenging turns in the course, his car slid off the rainy, slippery track (likely aqua-planing) into a construction vehicle that was clearing a car that had over run the turn just one lap previous. He suffered severe head trauma and is fighting for his life. Crash footage in gif form. Same footage, slow motion. Quote
LabattBlue Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Detroit... Starting 3 of Verlander, Scherzer & Price, out they go in 3. Anaheim... Star studded lineup, out they go in 3. Nationals...Very good starting pitching and a solid lineup, they may also go out in 3. Cardinals and Dodgers...Your aces both get shelled in game #1, can't wait to see how this series plays out. I have found a renewed interest in baseball, after many years of disgust over the big spenders dominating for years on end. Quote

IKnowPhysics Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Wow. How is he alive at all? My only guess is helmet technology. If this were 15 years ago, he'd likely be dead from concussive impact. If this were 25 years ago, he'd likely have been decapitated. Quote
