That was INSANE that the Rays came back.
Yeah it was, im a diamondbacks fan but i still love it when the yankees or the red sox dont make the playoffs.

I think everyone who isn't a Yankees or Red Sox fan does. :D Nothing brings this country together like the Yankees or Red Sox choking, sucking it up, and missing the playoffs. It brings hated rivals from all over baseball together for at least a brief time.

Congratulations Astros! Your 50th Season (Colt .45s) is your worst ever! 56-106! :nod:

72-90 for the Bucos, :smh:

That Rays ending was awesome.

Also anyone think Crawford could have gotten to that ball?

I definitely think he could have. Plus, he didn't even try on that throw to home. If he was trying, he would have instantly been up off his ass and firing a missile to home plate, not that "ole bullshit" he threw.

Yeah when you saw that the Rays were down 5-0, then 7-0, you figured we're getting a game tomorrrow at best.

Clearly Terry Francona didn't do a good job and give the players a motivational speech before the next game after one of their 7 wins in September.

anyone see that 2 hour perspective on the foul ball and the fan who got in the way ?

[ram29jackson]

I want Brewers & Tigers !!!!!!!

[ram29jackson]

and the play by play guy said- back to back jacks for the DiamondBacks

[ram29jackson]

one step closer to Brewers & Tigers...but its cool that the Cards and Texans are in as well...alot of history in all the teams

[SmoothPancakes]

Unbelievable. No fucking rain all summer in Texas, not a goddamn drop, and now it won't fucking quit raining so they can get a pair of baseball games in. :fp:

[JBHuskers]

Even more surprising than the White Sox hiring Robin Ventura who has no managerial experience, they were considering Paul Konerko as a player/manager. I don't think we've seen that since the days of Pete Rose.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yep, Pete Rose was the last player/manager in major league baseball.

[JBHuskers]

I'd love to see another player/manager in the game.

It was okay, nothing special. You come away with a lot of respect for Bartman as he has never once tried to make money off of this and he was offered a ton of money and endorsements. About a third of the show was spent on Bill Buckner.

Can you imagine a Texas - Milwaukee World Series? NHL regular season games might get better ratings.

Word is it's 5 years for about $15 million

[psusnoop]

Good deal for the Cubs, see if that can change things for them over the next few years.

[JBHuskers]

Yep it's official :)) :))

[psusnoop]

Yep it's official :)) :))

Your still the Cubbies :D:D

[JBHuskers]

Joe Madden named AL Manager of the Year. 110% agree. The job he did after the pieces that he lost on that team was amazing.

[bdoughty]

Rangers win and are one game away from winning the WS. Which would be so exciting if not for the fact I am a lowly Pirate fan.

[JBHuskers]

I decided to upload this to Failblog :D

[ram29jackson]

what the heck was that Rangers outfielder thinking about? The game was theirs right there..and they let cards tie it up....?

[ram29jackson]

...again..Cant shake the Cards

[steelerfan]

Wow. What a game.

[psusnoop]

That was a very crazy game and I'm glad I stayed up to watch the final 4 innings.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah I watched the whole game, it was just insane how the Cards kept coming back.

[SmoothPancakes]

Damn, completely missed the game last night. Was working non-stop from 6am-6pm last night with the kickoff marathon of our food drive collection campaign, and then as soon as that was done, it was right back up to the station to work on other stuff I had to get done. Got home at 9pm, ate dinner, and fell asleep by 10pm. Never saw a second of the game.

And won't even get to watch tonight's game either due to our HS football broadcasts, resulting in me being up at work from 6pm until midnight.

[Violator]

As a Cards fan I have seen it all year. We have played tough all year and while Game 3 was historic game 6 was the most intense game I have ever seen. I know I lost about 20 years off my life. But we have played like that for the last 2 months. Now I am pissed because baseball season is over.

[JBHuskers]

Is Tony La Russa retiring a sign that Pujols is not going to comeback as well? TLR did say Pujols was the greatest player he ever managed.

[Violator]

No has nothing to do with it. And trust me IF he leaves he wont be going to the Cubs. He wants to go to a perrinial winner which rules out the Cubs.

He also said at the rally yesterday that they are going to win again next year which I take as a sign he will be back. He loves this town and knows what he has here.

[JBHuskers]

What's he going to say at that parade? See you later LMAO .... of course he'll say things like that right now. I don't think the Cubs really need to go after him. Pena is just fine at first....I hear they're going to go after David Wright, which could be interesting.

[Violator]

Theres alot behind why he would stay. He knows how well he has it here and how much he can do and the freedom he is given. Not just from TLR but from ownership and the media. Can you imagaine how he would be treated in Philly, New York, Boston? I just dont see it but thats my gut. Plus the way Albert is he is concerned about his image and his legacy as well. All that leads to STL. Just my gut but he wont go.

[SmoothPancakes]

Oh lord. :fp:


ESPN MLB - MLB owners voted to extend contract of commissioner Bud Selig through the 2014 season

[psusnoop]

So it looks like we should move over to this tread but it appears the Pirates traded 2 prospects and took over 13 million owed to AJ Burnett for 2 years from the Yanks.

To me this just seems like an Lyle Overbay signing. Sure it may work out but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't either. Being up some prospects and lets mold this team.

The 2 prospects that we gave up were really nothing. They weren't even elite prospects so we still have the prospects to bring up too. I think it's a move you had to make. We got a great deal on him.

I wasn't positive on the 2 prospects when I posted that but I agree now after reading some things. Good price, just hope he can really contribute to our current pitching.
