Strider Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Not a good trip to London for the Boston Red Sox. At least when MLB has games in London they send the A-list. Unlike the NFL, who keep giving London the dregs of the league. It's July 1 and the Lost Angeles Angels of Anaheim of the Pacific Time Zone of the Northern Hemisphere of the planet Earth in Orion are still under .500. I'm done with this season.

LedZeppfan1977 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 This kid Gioloto of the White Sox is the Cy Young winner in my book. What a year he is having. Sunday he is robbed by the rain. A 3-0 lead and a 1 hitter after 5 innings, and they jerk offs resume the game 3 -4 hours later. Assholes. Of course he is done for the day and they did hold on for the win. Barely. He did not get the W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Here come the Reds!!! The NL Central is going to be one hell of a race!! I actually believe Cincinnati has a shot. Nationals are hot, so a WC in reach for them and Colorado. Braves are tough once again. As for my Orioles Means is a bright spot. Pitching great.

Strider Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I would love it if the Reds and Pirates became competitive again. The Big Red Machine was the team I loved to watch the most in the 1970s...and the Pirates weren't too far behind. Ironically, both of those teams back then played in the ugliest stadiums with horrible artificial turf. They play in much better ballparks now.

paul carruthers Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 As it stands now, both the g-damn Phillies & Nats would get a Wild Card; does it get any worse for a Mets fan?

Both are my second favs as I live in the Buffalo market. I am Orioles all the way, Dodgers would be my second team. Means is pitching great, the only bright spot after the asshole blew up our team. I wonder what Buck is doing now? I have no news about him other than he sold his house down there. Off to the Misty Mountains no doubt. Being a fan of the Mets or Orioles is painful. But you are at least in a big market and hope is always there when you have the starters you have. Harper was one man that could have swung the power in the NL East. I wonder if he regrets going to the Phillies? And what is going on with Machado? The thieving prick took the money and ran. No all star game. No nothing.

ebk Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Fun day at the ballpark. I'm glad we broke up the perfect game, because even though a bunch of people were rooting for "history", I just wasn't i the mood. So there! I did, however, mention to my husband and my friend that it would be funny if, after we got the first 2 guys on in the 9th, there was a triple play. That would have made me laugh.

Would I be wrong in saying that Means is our one real bright spot this year? This guy is good. We have a few good players but I wonder if that guy was right about us tanking? At least some of them? Its pretty sad to see your team blown up like ours was. Can you believe Machado sucked in all that money and then did not even make the all star ballot? Unreal Oh, I wanted to ask you Esther, were you there when Machado returned? Do you know how he was received? I still cannot believe Britton is a Yankee. There is no loyalty in this sport any more. Its not what it was. Go Dodgers Edited July 15, 2019 by LedZeppfan1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Dodgers You are not wrong that John Means is a good pitcher. And I don't think we're tanking. Why would we now? We got the 1st pick in the drat this year already. It's just gonna be a long, slow climb, but I think we'll be okay. Going into the international market should help a lot. I wasn't there, but Manny got a standing ovation when he came back. And really Rick, there's no loyalty on either side, in any sport. Can't blame the players. The business has changed. No use being angry about it. Just enjoy the game.

Speaking of international, the Marlins have Yammamoto, commander of the aircraft carrier Akagi pitching today. lOL. I wonder if he is a descendent of the WWII Commander? In Midway. 3-0 he is. And can you believe the Orioles traded Cashner to the hated rival Red Sox!!!! WTF. I had to check the player stats to see why he was listed in a Boston uni? This sport has gone to hell. But Go Dodgers anyway. My 2nd fav in most sports win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
