  1. I blame my dad for being at the game and texting "how about a blowout!" after Vaughn's home run.
  2. I'd like more production, but I've definitely seen Frazier work an at-bat.
  3. They played a tape of Menechino and said "everything he tells you to do? The opposite."
  4. Acceptable when they're back-to-back.
  5. Fucking love Burger waiting at the gate with the hat and jacket.
  6. After Fry failed to stick around, we need Colas. The Burger and Colas combo needs to stay.
  7. I really want a Clint Frazier bomb.
  8. TL;DR The entire rotation, entire bullpen, and Tim Anderson would all be of interest to the Dodgers for various reasons.
  9. John Smoltz or anyone like him that doesn't like the sport moving forward. Example, Brian McCann:
  10. Also, I'm gonna keep harping. Mets fans were miserable a few years ago under the Wilpons. Steve Cohen (a much worse human being than Jerry) swoops in and now they're a lot more energized about the team. Yeah, it's not working right now, but they're amped to have an owner with fat stacks in his pockets. The Clippers barely had a fanbase compared to the Lakers - let alone one so passionate that they could actually influence Hendriks (Soxtalk believe it or not) and Graveman (the Leury Legend game)* - then Ballmer comes to town and now the Clippers are a thing. They're getting new digs. All it takes is the owner leaving (and lest everyone on this board remind you, Jerry is 87) and a new one stepping in. *Obviously the contracts helped, but those guys were getting signed to some good contracts regardless.
  11. Just because the rebuild is an abject failure, this thread is wishing the same hurt upon generations of Sox fans that Oakland fans are currently going through. I don't even live in Illinois anymore and it would fucking sting. Comiskey Park/US Cellular/Guaranteed Rate is my home away from home, especially because my parents no longer live at home. As I've grown older, the Sox hold less grip on my day-to-day mood when they're bad. Yeah, I immediately turn off the game when they lose. But I'm so fucking excited when they win. When Jake Burger overcomes his injuries. When Giolito reinvents himself for the umpteenth time. Hendriks beats fucking cancer. So what if they're bad and historically they aren't great? They're our team. Not Jerry's team. Not Kenny or Rick's team. Because they aren't eternal forces. If they were, we should hate Hawk for setting the team back during a short, disastrous tenure as GM. And Jerry hasn't threatened to move in damn near 30 years, so to wish for him to Major League the fanbase is cruel. If it hurts you this much to watch, tune out for a bit. Don't watch every game. The team will still be here and hope will eventually spring eternal once again. It obviously has for the Mariners fan base, who had to watch Griffey, Ichiro, A-Rod, Felix, and Randy all go through their stadium with nothing to show for it.
  12. Nah, even if we don't like Pedro's managing, he doesn't come across as the type of manager to go Full Ozzie over a call that he could have challenged. Or maybe he has truly snapped.
  13. I genuinely want to know this - like, it's not like they challenged anything. What the f*** happened?
  14. Lmao Elvis wasn't even on the bag.
  15. ESPN is just providing the worst angles for this.
  16. He will be our MVP.
  17. There's actually three Gwynns, six Boggses, and three Jeters. Only one Konerko though.
