The 2009 Baseball Season Thread

[tigerbob]

Thank you Boston. Keep up the good work.

 

[Truthspeaker]

Worst gut punch loss of all time. Last night's Giants rockies.

The Giants FINALLY SCORE THEIR 2ND RUN IN THE 14TH. You think we'd finally win. Good bullpen. No problem.


Walk base hit walk pitcher comes up with one out. Maybe we get a double play out of it and get out of the game?

4-pitch walk to the pitcher
That's when I startpraying please don't give up a "CRACK!!!!!!!!!!"

grand slam...Giants fans everywhere



Like I said before. Another brilliant 1 run effort by the starting staff blown by the little league offense that IS Giants Baseball.

We need a bat more than an ace!!!!!!!!!!! Only the Giants.

 

[del]

red sox win 6-3

they also picked up billy wagner for the rest of the season from the mets.

 

[Xenophon]

NY falls short in a furious comeback, scoring 4 in the bottom of the 9th before recording an out, 10-9.

Game ended as melky hit into a line drive DP.

 

[Andrew2382]

how is it that you can be paid millions of dollars and be a Major League Baseball Player and still not know how to lay down a proper bunt?

How the **** is that possible.

There should be a fine for screwing something up that is so easy

 

[Xenophon]

Swisher has not bunted all year, the Texas pitcher did the exact right thing, high heat which is tough to bunt.

Hairston fucked it up, there was no need to be that far off second with 1 out, Jeets was on deck, we still had a chance.

 

[tigerbob]

Despite trying their hearts out in the 7th inning, the Tigers still managed to beat the Angels last night.

 

[Xenophon]

NY back on track as Andy wins 9-2 over Texas.

Red Sox win on big crappy's walkoff to remain 6 behind, but gain a game on the defeated Rangers.

 

[Truthspeaker]

Giants Actually get a clutch homer from 2 guys!!!!!!!!!!! Actually COME BACK to beat the D-backs. Who knew? Of course our starter doesn't get a win.

 

[trams]

11-0 D-Backs win!!!!!

 

[Xenophon]

NY and Boston both lose, so the elad stays at six, Texas move to 1 1/2 in the WC.

Red Sox release Brad Penny.

 

[Article 15]

We should have traded Penny when he had some value. He had been atrocious for the last 2 months.

There were rumors swirling weeks ago about shipping him to Texas. And now look ... if he had been there then they would have had to try to win despite him spotting the other team 6 every outing.

Theo has been slipping. Any idiot should have seen this coming. Hell, I did.

I don't know about this Wagner thing either. Sure, it could pan out but much like in 2007, the bullpen isn't the issue.

 

[Xenophon]

You already have Okajima, another lefty is a big deal pickup, especially a hitable guy like Wagner.

The guy throws a heavy and straight fastball.

 

[Article 15]

I'm a little nervous.

 

[Xenophon]

Bringing him in at fenway will be an adventure.

 

[Paulie]

The guy throws a heavy and straight fastball.

He's basically a left handed Brad Lidge. A straight mid-90's fast ball and a slider.

Is he still pitching from the wind-up with no one on? That was the weirdest thing I ever saw.

 

[Xenophon]

NY wins in extra innings on cano's 3 run blast, Boston keeps pace with a win over the Jays to remain 6 back.

Texas loses again so the WC lead jumps to 2 1/2 games.

Rays threw up the white flag and the cheap ***** traded Kazmir to the Angels.

This is why I said the Rays would never compete, they refuse to pay their players and the second they make some money they dump them, pennant race or no pennant race.

It could be you and us in the classic.

I really hope so, I want the Yankees so bad.

 

[Xenophon]

If NY is good enough, it could happen.

Long time from that right now.

 

[Paulie]

I'm not sure who's beating you in the AL.

Same thing with us in the NL.

I'm more worried about getting SF than LA. Unlike what Truthspeaker seems to think, that pitching staff could take that team through the playoffs, as long as Cain or Lincecum could successfully pull a short rester.
