The boys of summer! (Baseball Thread)

[Rack Em]

Cards! Rosenthal is filthy!

If Eric Young were still on Baseball Tonight, Rosenthal would have been on "That's Nasty" for that changeup he threw to Pena.

D-I-R-T-Y

Wow! Our boys must have down some geritol and red bull for the opener
against the Rangers. I haven't seen that kind of offensive explosion in awhile.
Lee didn't look great but I'll take the W to start the year out.

Glad to see the braves offense was excited for opening day. NOT

Something with the Brewer's pitching staff. I think that's 5 out of the last 6 games have been shut outs.

This was no joke... I am pretty good with baseball trivia and only pulled a 50%.

That's crazy.

Have I mentioned how much I hate the off day after Opening Day? I don't get it, I don't like it, I don't want it.

Anyone want to go in on the purchase of a little painting with me? We can time share.

It's a Norman Rockwell called "The Rookie" and its going to be auctioned at Christies. Estimates are that it will bring between 20 - 30 million.

-says the Cubs fan

 

[blueNDgold44]

Just looking to poke fun at the Yankees fan who was making fun of the Cubs yesterday and then his team goes on to lose to the Stros.

 

[ACamp1900]

Fire Scioscia's fat ass already!! How do they start this bad every freaking year?!! It's the same thing every game, two outs no one on, and they get three hits and scores runs, Angels counter with a couple lead off hits, then strike out three times in a row...

So over scioscia.

 

[Rack Em]

This duel between Wacha and Cingrani is incredible!

 

[Monk McGinn]

Swept by the freakin Brewers. Oh,boy.... Brew Crew had 17 extra base hits or
somewhere close to that number in this series. They looked good,well rounded
club. They can hit,the pitching may be a little suspect though. Us,our bats have
gone into dormancy,shocker! Next three against the Fish.

Better then having a unknown substance on your hand for 3 innings. and then gone in the 5th yeah.......

 

[Monk McGinn]

We stopped our four game skid in the opener with the Fish.
I have a feeling there will more four game skids in the future. LOL

*waiting patiently for Monk McGinn's comments on tonight's sh- show vs the Barves*

 

[clashmore_mike]

Not liking Kimbrel watching this from the pen

 

[clashmore_mike]

What a crazy last few innings.

Watchin' the Cards game online, every time I checked twitter, either Barves' fans or Phillies' fans having a meltdown. Good stuff.

 

[blueNDgold44]

How many HRs did there end up being in the Reds - Pirates game? I know it was at 9 in the top of the 6th

 

[clashmore_mike]

Still at 9, they are in a delay in top of 7th last I looked.

Edit: it's ten, Mesoraco tied the game in the bottom of 6th. Game is suspended.

 

[irishff1014]

Hell yea it was. Glad Uggla showed up tonight and save the very well pitched game by Santana.

Sucks he gets a ND and Avilan gives up 5 runs but gets the win. Kimbrel was unavailable due to shoulder soreness.
