Trumbo off the scoreboard. Stanton with 4 jacks 490 ft or more. Jesus Christ.

Droford 07-11-2016 09:45 PM

Like I figured..

Ruien 07-12-2016 07:43 AM

Seriously, I never hated a team so much because of a fan but fuck Baltimore/Dro ford for being so damn annoying. Really feel like this thread would get more replies if Dro ford didn't spam it will his ridiculous shit constantly.

Droford 07-12-2016 08:08 AM

Just wait til I get started on how awesome the Ravens are going to be this year

Ruien 07-12-2016 10:54 AM

Like, I feel bad for you. Maybe you don't have anyone in real life to talk sports with so you go overboard here. I do know for sure, whatever the reason it is sad.

Ol Dirty Dastard 07-12-2016 10:59 AM

Well maybe we should just make a team pact that his posts don't count and to ignore them. Lol I remember when RDD was all "Omg you guys are way too mean to Droford", thank god that loser is gone, even if he did like to talk about Pokemon.

I may actually like Orioles more now because they're stuck with Droford as a fan and I pity them.

The Orioles have fielded 20 All-Stars over the past five seasons, ranking first in the American League and second in the majors behind the Cardinals (23). In that span, 12 different players have been named All-Stars, tied for second-most in the majors behind the Cardinals (15).
“We could have had more, but since 2012 we’re really proud of the fact that the Orioles have had more All-Stars than any other team in the American League,” said executive vice president Dan Duquette.
You could probably ask 100 baseball fans which team in American League has most All Stars last 5 years and I'd guess 10 people might say the Orioles

Ol Dirty Dastard 07-12-2016 01:48 PM

Kind of wish there wasn't an all star game, just all star teams announced at the end of the year, so the season can keep going. I like real baseball games, not this bullshit with a silly stipulation.

I also think the home run derby while "fun" and "traditional" is stupid as fuck. I don't really care about watching sluggers taking batting practice, if I do that I'll just go to a Jays game early and watch some of their sluggers sock some dingers.

I mean I guess people seem to like it so who am I to judge it, but I want to watch my team play big games.

Well nobody would care because outside of being an enjoyable midseason novelty the all star game is fairly irrelevant.

nice post stima

Damian Rey 2.0 07-12-2016 04:23 PM

I love the derby as currently constructed. I enjoy the all-star game just to see guys who I'd otherwise miss out on, like Trout.

Would probably still need some sort of break just because of how long the season is. Agree about MLB should probably get rid of who gets home field for the World Series as a stip. Probably wouldn't have happened if Selig didn't panic when his former team had a miserable ending to their All-Star game.

If any sport would really benefit without an actual all-star game, it would be the NFL. Pretty much a very watered down version of regular games except happens after the season is over and most players not caring besides the extra pay check for gettign named an all-star.

ClockShot 07-12-2016 08:05 PM

Kinda curious as to why there's a DH in a National league ball park for the All-Star game.

Was that some kind of change I missed a while back?

Damian Rey 2.0 07-12-2016 08:21 PM

They alternate home teams each year regardless of ballpark. It's why the American League players are wearing home whites.

Evil Vito 07-12-2016 09:23 PM

I don't really mind the designated home team changing but it seems dumb that they can't at least have the NL sit in the dugout the Padres would normally be in. Myers and Pomeranz can't even use their real lockers.

Damian Rey 2.0 07-12-2016 09:25 PM

Lol a fair point.

Damian Rey 2.0 07-12-2016 09:26 PM

Pomeranz shouldn't be getting to comfortable though. He's likely getting dealt.

Frank Drebin 07-12-2016 10:03 PM

Christ, a musical performance in the middle of the game....fuck this.

Frank Drebin 07-12-2016 10:06 PM

Gonna have to stop AGAIN to sing God Bless America as well I'm guessing.

Just get it over with and instead of a game, air a U2 concert with them singing the National Anthem on a loop for 4 hours.

Damian Rey 2.0 07-12-2016 10:15 PM

Haha I love "get off my lawn" Frank. I agree that the song was a bit much with the cheese.

Damian Rey 2.0 07-12-2016 10:16 PM

This David Ortiz love fest is funny. Guy has knowingly failed a ped test, and while that test should've remained private, he failed it nonetheless. But you'd never know with how propped up he is.

Wonder how many pokemon RDD has in Pokémon Go. Probably like 100 already.

Frank Drebin 07-12-2016 10:22 PM

heyyyyyyy its Big Papi, look at that smile, he could never do anything wrong.

btw a guy doing what hes doing at his age should be tested on a weekly basis. You know how we know a guy like Jr Griffey didn't do PED's? Cuz at the end of his career he sucked balls.

Now that hes got so much free time from not posting here i'm sure its in the thousands.

Frank Drebin 07-12-2016 10:26 PM

D-Backs really picked that jersey out of the 12000 combinations they have available? Looks like f'n onsie silk pajamas.

Man....can't wait until we stop the game to hear a 15 minute sermon from Bishop Carmichael.

Droford 07-12-2016 10:35 PM

I hope the Orioles give Ortiz a broken phone

:( Griffey Jr. Pretty much got cursed once he took the Reds deal.

Probably would have shattered the HR record if he staid healthy long enough and not have PEDs be the main talking point about the record because of Bonds and A-Rod.

Droford 07-12-2016 11:03 PM

Andrew Miller sucks

Evil Vito 07-12-2016 11:06 PM

They always say they can't strictly use best record because it creates too many scheduling conflicts. But why not make it so that the league that has the team with the best record at the end of the year gets it? It means the pool of potential World Series Game 1 hosts when the playoffs starts is exactly the same as it would have been under the current format.

Having home field decided by the World Series is just stupid, especially since the game's history supports that leagues go on winning streaks.

Evil Vito 07-12-2016 11:19 PM

Wow. Fuck Terry Collins. It was bad enough losing Cespedes and Thor. But then he goes on a big spiel making sure every team gets into the game and he doesn't even give Familia or Colon one out.

Fucking waste of time.

Evil Vito 07-12-2016 11:31 PM

If the homefield advantage rule weren't tied into this shit, Colon 100% gets into this game because it's FUN. It's supposed to be FUN.

Ugh. I think Bryce Harper was right.

Droford 07-12-2016 11:32 PM

At least Britton dudnt fuck up

Evil Vito 07-12-2016 11:34 PM

Actually you can toss Steven Wright in there too. Yost used him as a last resort because he didn't want to make someone catch a knuckleball. Well shit, seeing him would have been fun. Can't have that.

Ol Dirty Dastard 07-12-2016 11:34 PM

Bobby the brain Heenan is the vice president of chevy


lame duck all star game

I think Wieters has caught a knuckleball before the Os have a guy in the minors throws a knuckleball probably caught it in spring traibing

Ol Dirty Dastard 07-12-2016 11:56 PM

Did Papi face punishment for the PED test?

Emperor Smeat 07-13-2016 12:01 AM

Nope and don't believe anyone else did from those reports and leaks at the time.
