Remind me what my team did last season, remind me what my team did last season. We won the WS, we won the WS...but kicked a chair when we lost. Losing to the Cubs is like losing to ur friend or little brother. It blows, so I kicked my chair. Plus, the Cards have lost 4 games in a row, so I am pissed. So I kicked a chair, I think my pain is gone in my foot, so Yoda 1, Chair 0. TAKE THAT U MOTHER ******* CHAIR!

I ******* hate this sham of a Detroit baseball team.

If it makes you feel better the Cubs have won the 3 of the past 4 vs the Cardinals.

No, no, no, that makes it worse sir!

I have a dream that someday, the Reds get a clean up hitter so Joey doesnt get walked every other AB.

We have one and his name is jay bruce. Unfortunately dusty absolutely will not put him there because of thr whole "back to back lefties" paranoia.

How come you're not slobbing Beltran's knob considering he's doing just as well as Kemp?

Brodeur · 05-15-2012, 03:29 PM

It's that time of the year when you realize Austin Jackson has been one of the best players in baseball so far.

He's better than Matt Kemp.

Derek Lowe > Verlander

tjsunstein · 05-15-2012, 05:20 PM

Had to put Kemp and Robertson on the DL in fantasy today. Needless to say, **** fantasy baseball.

Imagine if Masterson and Jiminez manage to pull their heads out of their asses and pitch the way they're capable of pitching.

I will reserve excitement for first place for quite a while given how all of our wheels fell off all at once last season.

No no no no no. You do not get to brag about a shutout against the Twins.

Brodeur · 05-15-2012, 05:29 PM

How the hell did Lowe have no Ks in a complete game? Or how the hell does he only have 13 Ks in 52 innings this year?

fenikz · 05-15-2012, 05:33 PM

Keith Law brought up 4 man rotations and that he is in favor of them since pitcher injuries haven't dropped with the introduction of a 5 man rotation

anyone think this will ever be the norm again? Would allow a team to keep a extra BP arm or pinch hitter plus you obviously only pitch your top 4 starters

1. Groundout after groundout after groundout after groundout.

2. Strikeout every once in a while

3. Repeat 1.

Our 4 man has been our best pitcher. Sadz

Maybe for small market teams to save dough. I'd have to see one in action to see the effects long term. And no, last year's Royals do not count.

Probably because we refuse to hit the ball in the air. Whatever the record for GIDP's is it's as good as broken this year.

Brodeur · 05-15-2012, 05:43 PM

Good news is that you're on track for the first pick next year.

D-Unit · 05-15-2012, 06:58 PM

So is Josh Beckett the darling of Red Sox Nation again?

Giantsfan1080 · 05-15-2012, 07:09 PM

I so enjoy watching David Wright. Better be a Met for life.

I'd imagine it'd be a tough sell to ask starting pitchers to pitch 25% more without getting paid 25% more

fenikz · 05-15-2012, 07:15 PM

Don't think Trevor Bauer would mind, prob a few other pitchers like him, and they most likely would get paid more due to innings, wins, strike outs, etc

Ask me that again when his ERA isn't hovering just under five and he's not publicly criticizing the fans for wondering why he was playing golf when he wasn't able to play baseball.
