OT: MLB Thread

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

I tried to like them, but I just couldn't. Can't explain it, but when they left Montreal, they just weren't the Expos anymore.

You have to love how the Nationals appropriated themselves all Expo player statistical records and turned them into Nat Franchise Historical Bests. That also means they're taking ownership of a total porker like Jose Vidro and prima donnas who shat on Montreal the minute the franchise was moved, like Schneider and his F.uck Face.

Oh me too. Although they are off to a good start this year. I think the team has improved.

Hard not to when you dedicate yourself to following the Pittsburgh Penguin model. Drafted #1 or #2 overall for about half a decade.

Especially when you stumble onto the two biggest prospects in decades.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

yet they have but one cup to show for it, haven't made it out of the first round in two years and out of the second since 2009.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

I know it's a couple of days late Hair, but do you think that Mariano Rivera can come back from his injury?
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Yes... likely not this season although it wouldn't surprise me with him, but I'm sure he'll be fine for next season.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

I heard him say he wants to come back because he doesn't want his career to end this way.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

The loss of Rivera is HUGE. That division suddenly got a lot more wide-open. You just can't replace a guy of his caliber, not to mention the trickle down effect of everyone assuming a new position in the bullpen. Tampa should win that division, but the wildcard is more interesting now.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Yanks also lost Pineda for the year, their new stud pitcher, one that cost them their top hitting prospect in the trade with Seattle.

The craziest MLB news is that Pujols finally hit his first homer as an Angel. Over 100 at bats of futility.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

It's gonna suck not having Mo but I think Robertson is going to be more than capable of stepping in. He's arguably the best relief pitcher in the game right now.

Gonna need someone else to step up with Soriano in the 7th-8th innings. The injuries to Joba hurt too.

The Orioles' Chris Davis became the first first AL position player to win a game as a pitcher since Rocky Colavito in 1968.

Baltimore beat Boston 9-6 in 17 innings.

Also of note is Darnell McDonald, a position player, finishing the game for the Sox and factoring into the decision as well.

Last time two position players were involved in a game decision: 1925, Ty Cobb and George Sisket.

Man I love how Dan Duquette, a former Expo manager, turn the Orioles this season as a good team. Still early in the season, but man they look sweet!
