Rupert Murdoch killed the Kennedys :bleh:

Starlin Castro is KILLING me in Fantasy tonight.

9 at bats and only ONE hit.

Emperor Smeat 04-20-2011 10:10 PM

Indians vs Royals had the Royals up 2-0 and a potential no hitter going until the 6th when a hit was given up. After that it was all down hill for the Royals pitcher with 2 balks and 4 runs given up in the 6th.

<font color=goldenrod>I need to have my head examined for actually going to tonight's Mets game, especially since I've been sick as hell lately.

Was actually a fun game. But between Pagan getting thrown out at the plate and Thole popping up a crucial bunt on the first pitch causing a double play in the 9th, it really feels like they are inventing new ways to lose. Thole popped up a bunt. Dickey popped up a bunt. Willie Harris failed to bunt so he gave up and promptly struck out. 3 fucked up attempts at bunting in one game may be some kind of record. Last Thursday to tonight may legitimately have been the worst week of baseball ever played by a team.

They have found a way to lock up 100 losses in April. I'll always watch the games but at least with the 2009 Mets I didn't become basically apathetic about the results until like July. This year I'll be feeling that way on April 21st.</font>

Now you know what it's like to be a Cubs fan.

Big Fat Mike 04-21-2011 02:31 AM

Bartolo Colon has to have performed some kind of skill stealing voodoo, because he's pitching the way Phil Hughes should be and Hughes has thrown like an out of shape 37 year old man. Amazing.

Droford 04-21-2011 02:54 AM

As an Os fan the last week was brutal, 8 game losing streak was tough but the bats have come back alive and hopefully things have stabled out somewhat. With Boston in this weekend they could put together a decent little strech of games to get back on course even more.

Aguakate 04-21-2011 02:55 AM

...them fightin' Showalters.

You mean New York right? Because the Yankees are the team coming to Camden this weekend. The Red Sox are still gonna be on their west coast series.

Supreme Olajuwon 04-21-2011 07:37 PM

Nice, Big Vito's on suicide watch even earlier this year.

Gertner 04-21-2011 07:52 PM

Ugh, Brett Cecil sent to the minors. This mean probably that Scott Richmond or Brad Mills will start. The Jays seems to be fixated on keeping Jo Jo Reyes even though he sucks, always has and always will, but because Litsch and Cecil have options Reyes stays. Stewart, McGuire, Alvarez, Synngarrd and Sanchez can't develop soon enough. 3/5 of the Jays rotation has been garbage. Drabek has been amazing though.

YOUR Hero 04-21-2011 11:12 PM

Cecil will be alright

Gertner 04-21-2011 11:16 PM

I hope so, because he's been really off. Jays are in a good position where they aren't expected to compete so they can afford to send guys to AAA to work on stuff, but Vegas is such a friggen hitters park though.

ClockShot 04-22-2011 09:46 AM

Brewers give Ryan Braun a 5-year, $105 mil. extension.

Along with the 7-year deal he signed back in '08. He's now in Milwaukee until 2020 and gets a grand total of $145.5 mil.

That's crazy, imo.

RP 04-22-2011 10:23 AM

I wonder if Prince goes on the market if the Brewers are out of contention.

RP 04-22-2011 10:25 AM

Cubs vs Dodgers

Big series. Reds and Cards are beating each other up this week. We need a sweep.

Jeritron 04-22-2011 11:09 AM

Brewers pretty much have to deal Fielder

That's what I figure and I truly believe the Cubs could get him or Puljos. I just hope they don't have to ship Colvin.

Jeritron 04-22-2011 02:28 PM

They definitely could, if the Brewers traded within the division. Normally that probably wouldn't happen but it might because it just happens that a lot of the big market teams are all set at the postion.

Same goes for Pujols. The Yankees having Texiera and the Red Sox having A-Gon shakes things up

Emperor Smeat 04-22-2011 03:04 PM

Dodgers owner wants to sue MLB for what he calls a "hostile takeover" of his team and to add to the :lol:, the guy MLB promoted to help take charge of the Dodgers after 2 days decided to side with the owner.

MLB got upset when it learned McCourt tried to take a $200 million loan from Fox out of the next tv contract and when that failed asked for $30 million to cover team costs.

Also revealed was the owner's family managed to spend $50 million in a few years on just themselves with loaned team money and another $20 million each year in "rent" from the team. Altogether the McCourts hid $145 million from MLB and the IRS due to not paying taxes.

YOUR Hero 04-22-2011 03:23 PM

Baseball ownership can and has been a real joke at times.

Supreme Olajuwon 04-22-2011 03:44 PM

but god forbid Mark Cuban should be allowed to have a team

that would be awful

this is going to be a very confusing no hitter

I don't know that Yankee fans are allowed to call long term contracts of any sort "crazy", especially ones that make sense on the surface.

Gertner 04-22-2011 10:16 PM

Jose Bautista up to bat to start the 10th a single shy of the cycle.

Evil Vito 04-22-2011 10:21 PM

<font color=goldenrod>2 wins in a row!</font>

Gertner 04-22-2011 10:57 PM

lol Johnny McDonald with a walk off home run in the 11th of all people.

RP 04-23-2011 03:08 AM

I'm going to Cubs vs Reds on May 17th. Are there good bars near Great American Ballpark? Any boobie bars near by?

Jeritron 04-23-2011 03:10 AM

The Great American Titty Bar

RoXer 04-23-2011 03:12 AM

Hopefully it's Amerature night.

Seriously?

Gertner 04-23-2011 02:21 PM

Bautista with 2 home runs in his firs two at bats against David Price. He also has the Jays only two hits so far.

RP 04-23-2011 03:51 PM

Dempster gives it up in the sixth. Just as scheduled. Worst number one starter, perhaps every.

RP 04-23-2011 04:12 PM

Bases loaded, come on cubs

RP 04-23-2011 04:14 PM

Fuck yes Castro!!!!
