*** Official *** 2012 MLB Season Thread!!

Baseball's a funny game.

Tigers possibilities:
Yanks win, Tigers play A's
Yanks lose and Orioles lose, Tigers play Yanks
Yanks lose and Orioles win, Tigers play the AL East 1-game playoff winner

So basically...go Yankees and O's!

 

[Squisher]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but no homers for Hamilton and Trout is 0 for 1 so far and he had to have a 4 for 4 day while Miggy went 0 for 4

so

Miggy=Triple Crown!!!

 

[basslover1]

No kidding, in the last four days their probable opponent has changed every day.

Why does ESPN use different letters signifying playoff position than the MLB? That shit is annoying.

 

[Sinsear]

Yep, looks like we'll have a triple crown winner; awesome!

 

[Svnla]

Alright Cards, look like you were able to squeeze into the playoff (barely). Now go get the Braves. Good luck and hopefully you will do well as you did last year.

Yankees spanking the Red Sox. Longoria making up for missed chances yesterday. So, unfortunately, the O's have to play the wild card game.

Detroit's Scherzer hurt his ankle in the celebration I heard. And he's going to miss his next start in the playoffs, way to go dipshit!

Grats to our first Triple Crown winner in 45 years. Amazing.

Scherzer...just started...standing on the mound when Miggy left the field.

Nice scene in KC

So he started today? I'm not watching it. My buddy just said something to me about it.

 

[Squisher]

psst, don't tell the A's

As one member of a rival club noted earlier this year when referring to Cabrera and Fielder, "As long as you don't let the two fat guys beat you, you're all right."

 

[jman19]

The A's absolutely STOLE the division from the Rangers... ouch.

 

[BrownShoes]

 

[jalaram]

Yep, one and done. Let's see what the Sox can salvage from this season.

Predictions for tonight:
STL @ ATL
Kris Medlen has been god-like and while I believe Kyle Lohse will also pitch well, Braves pitching and defense will pull them through to the NLDS. 4-3 Bravos

BAL @ TEX
I'm not questioning the fact that Texas lineup seems like it'll just overpower Joe Saunders, the probable starter. However, the O's also have some big bats in their lineup and this game will probably be decided late. The O's, I believe, lead the majors in 1 run games and extra innning affairs. I have the Rangers going out to a big lead off of Saunders then blowing it late on some dumbass decisions by Ron Washington. 10-9 O's

 

[anxi80]

What a catch by Heyward!

 

[KeithTalent]

Damn. 2-0. Hilarious it was Ross.

Simmons is fcking moron for bunting 1st and 3rd with the pitcher behind him, and then running inside the baseline to add more insult to injury. Use your head, this is for a trip to the postseason kid.

Edit: Ok it wasn't Simmons' fault, they said Gonzalez called the suicide squeeze with... Freeman (slow as hell) on third. Wow, Bobby Cox is somewhere laughing.

Edit 2: Why the hell doesn't MLB.TV work on my computer (blacked out), but the mobile app I am watching the game (with GPS on so it could find my location). Is normal MLB.TV too dumb to translate IPs? /smh

 

[SP33Demon]

Aaand the stellar Braves defense is falling apart. 5-2 St.L now.

 

[KeithTalent]

Wow 6-2. The Braves are a defensive disaster!

KT

 

[Svnla]

6-3 Cards at end of 7th. Go Cards, you can do it like last year <crossing fingers>.

 

[SP33Demon]

wtf is going on at that stadium??????????

 

[SP33Demon]

Outfield LITTERED with BEER CONTAINERS, WOW

 

[JD50]

WOW

 

[SP33Demon]

Debris still being thrown onto the field. Unreal. The umps definitely fcked up the call though. What a debacle.

 

[Squisher]

Replacement Umps?
