Baseball season yaaaay

[Drem]

who ever said his fielding was good? the only thing anyone ever liked about that guy was his bat

[Drem]

game 163 for the Tigers

[brinstar]

nothing personal but i'm pulling for the twins

[brinstar]

oooooo... looks like a great game, too bad i'm stuck in class

at least i can watch flash-based updates online

[brinstar]

hah i say that and then alt-tab over to see maggs blast a homer to tie

what a game!

[Drem]

:drives to the liqour store:

[brinstar]

i didn't get to watch it, was it better or worse than the 2007 playoff between the Padres and Rockies? that went into extra innings too

or did you see that game

[Phlegm]

This game is much better.

[brinstar]

that's saying a lot i think

the 07 rox/pads game was classic!

[Drem]

when it comes down to extra innings in the 163rd game of the season i think it's pretty good any way you look at it

i didn't watch it, i was working and checking score via espn.com

[Blackdiam]

What would be bigger?

Dodgers vs Redsox

Dodgers vs Yankees

[Drem]

sox. fuck the yankees

[brinstar]

fuck em both

i want rockies v twins

[Drem]

noway. Twinkees'll be out after the first set

[Gidan]

Twins will likely be out in 3 games. People may not like the Yankees, but they are by far the best team in baseball this year. Personally I would like to see NY vs LA.

[Phlegm]

Love them or hate them, I think their overwhelming spending this year is going to win the championship for them.

[Drem]

it's too bad, because their season start was so weak that all that money was a huge focal point for tons and tons of jokes. now they're doing really good. sigh

[brinstar]

did you see that blown call on the mauer "foul" in the top of the 11th? it's ridiculous, the ump was RIGHT EFFING THERE! not only did it touch melky's glove in fair territory, but then it bounced six inches INSIDE the line. colossally blown call

fuck da yankees-- spend a quarter billion in the offseason AND get lucky breaks like that?

[Drem]

cubs owned on opening day. sorry b

my friends are all sad about the twins just losing too

detroit kicked ass

[brinstar]

yeah well there are at least 161 games left two good signs - zambrano got shelled and didn't blow a vein, marshall and russell both looked really strong in relief

also it's p hard to hate on a guy for crushing a long ball off big z in his first major league at-bat, esp when they showed his parents going nuts in the stands


and although the DH rule is for babbies, the only AL teams i can actually stand rooting for are in the central (basically the whole division minus the shite sox hehe)

[brinstar]

took off work early to watch my favorite pitcher get a big W at the wrigley home opener, baseball owns


edit:
oh yeah, came across this - video of baseball's biggest stoner doing a photo shoot with a snuggie knockoff. that's right, it's the Sluggie(tm)! lol @ the camera guy: "man, you look like a wizard"

screencap:

[Drem]
