At Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on April 25, 1976, two protesters ran into left-center field and tried to set fire to an American flag after the start of the bottom of the 4th inning. Monday, the Cubs center fielder, had been tossing a practice ball with left fielder José Cardenal before the incident happened. After Steve Stone of the Cubs threw a pitch that made Ted Sizemore pop out, Monday dashed over and grabbed the flag to thunderous cheers. Monday ran through the infield with the flag and while walking towards the Dodgers dugout met and handed the flag over to Dodgers pitcher Doug Rau. The ballpark police officers arrested and escorted the two intruders, William Thomas and his 11-year-old son, off the field and afterwards the father of the boy was fined, charged with trespassing, and put on probation.
When Monday came to bat in the top half of the 5th inning, he got a standing ovation from the crowd and the big message board behind the left-field bleachers in the stadium flashed the message, "RICK MONDAY... YOU MADE A GREAT PLAY..." He later said, "If you're going to burn the flag, don't do it around me. I've been to too many veterans' hospitals and seen too many broken bodies of guys who tried to protect it." Monday had served a commitment with the Marine Corps Reserve as part of his ROTC obligation after leaving Arizona State.

At the very least he deserves to lose his job, if not his life. There's been four called strikeouts that were clearly out of the zone. Then he ejects the manager and a player while they're walking away from him. What the fuck.
>>67111753

Bud Norris is still Kevin Millwood 2.0 and Jim Johnson has actually pitched well for the barves both last year and this year probably because Mcdowell tells him something along the lines of "keep the ball down you dumb fuck". jim johnson's line doesn't look that good for last year because the doyers left him in to die in a game last year.

He's had a few missed calls for Pittsburgh too, but not nearly as bad as he's hosed the Rockies. Those called strike 3's were really terrible and the ejections were completely unnecessary.
Apparently this ump has a history of this kind of thing.

Hope they work out well enough then. I really liked Norris, real competitive dude and great to watch the '14 season. Shame he just asploded last year.

Why are Royals fans and Cubs fans gay for each other? Is it because they are collectively at maximum jealousy for the unabashedly BEST franchise in baseball?

This guy gets it.
I miss the days where it was the Yankees pummeling the rest of baseball. Sure I hate the Yankees, but hating them too much is hating the love for the game itself. It's the same thing with the Cardinals, when they're good, baseball is actually succeeding as opposed to failing.
Because really, who wants to see a joke World Series between two joke organizations? I'm sure I don't.

Parity is bullshit affirmative action for other teams to succeed.
It's sad, you actually support this. This is socialism at its finest.
If you want baseball to be great again, you eliminate this, so success can be storied rather than vaunted.

I do remember pre-2010 Giants fampai.
Dark times. After the shitshow Dusty Baker ran in the 2002 WS game 5 and losing the series, the Giants were the San Francisco Barry Bond & Family Band with E!SPN following his chase to the HR crown every year between knee injuries. Each year there were B-level free agent signings to plug holes and mediocre prospects that didn't do shit. It wasn't until Cain and Lincecum getting promoted that I saw any light at the end of the tunnel because 2004-2008 was garbage. 2009 wasn't much better but obviously things got better. I wonder how much Jonathan Sanchez' no-no netted him in future contract negotiations?
Admittedly it was cool seeing Randy Johnson as a Giant though.

Oh try going to school in New York.
Yankee fans are the most insufferable pricks imaginable. Literally every team beating them is the end of the world. It's like a spoiled child who doesn't get her way based off the result of one fucking game.
As a Mets fan, I couldn't be happier with my team right now. In 2009, Yankee fans were telling me how shitty their team was ALL YEAR, yet they won the fucking series.
God, I don't know how they sleep at night.

I'm a M's fan and had no idea they signed him till now. Wow.
>in 1992 he was signed by the Seattle Mariners, who listed him as "David Arias". He played for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, a Mariners farm team, until 1996, when he was traded to the Minnesota Twins as the player to be named later in an earlier transaction for Dave Hollins. When he arrived in Minnesota, he informed the team that he preferred to be listed as "David Ortiz."

no

Im not going to look up his career numbers but i dont think he is hof.
>>67116247
He only had a couple of great years. He's mostly been average. But he's remained healthy enough and has lasted long enough that his counting stats are actually pretty good at this point.

maybe your magical thinking will work one day, you just have to repeat it enough!
>>67116414
That's not the point but I don't exactly disagree. I think the hall should have room for those who broke barriers or meant something to the game, players like Moyer, Valenzuela, Nomo, etc. Bartolo had one peak. And it wasn't as high as the peak Valenzuela and Hershiser had. Both of whom peaked extremely high in multiple stages of their career. Both hold multiple pitcher and baseball milestone records but still didn't get in because "peaking" isn't enough. You gotta perform at that extreme level for a decade.

tbfh Jorge DeLaRosa belongs in the hall of fame. His ERA just above 4.5 is pretty good. There are retards like Jeremy Affeldt who average that coming out of the bullpen. Dela rosa has seen some shit man. Dude could have had a winning career in Boston and often time goes on a tear.
Joba Chamberlain belongs in the hall of fame
>>67116506
He doesn't tho. Dude was trash in Detoilet and was the premier bullpen shitter in 2013 of memory serves.
ADAM Wainwright is a hall of famer tho.

How the fuck is Fernando not in the hall of fame?
>>67116584
>>67116493
if anything, the hall should be more restrictive
it isnt a participation award
Was afraid I'd have to use pic related today. But I didn't. GG Dads.
>>67116464
Didn't Bartolo Colon get suspended for PED use in 2012? Last time I checked it's hard to get in the hall when you use PEDs.
>>67116586
Not good long enough.
He won a Cy Young and rookie of the year at 20 years old. Threw 8 CG in his first 8 starts and won them all. Won a WS against the Yankees. Then peaked again years after with more Cy Young votes.
Lasorda wore out his arm. He was notorious for leaving Fernando in too long. Fernando to this day doesn't consider Lasorda his 'friend' he said something along the lines of "friendship and friends require a mutual bond" there's some lowkey beef between him and the organization. Why do you think Fernando was never offered a pitching coach position? Anyway Fernando is clearly a hall of fame player than was iconic to 80's baseball.
>>67116653
Yeah but Bartolo isn't a hall of famer so it doesn't matter. Even Barry Bonds is getting votes in 2016. Fucking Roger Clemens, one of the greatest RHP to ever live still isn't in the hall of fame.

From what I have seen so far you guys are a lot better than last year. Whether that translates to a playoff spot or not I have no idea. But your defense is magnitudes better with Lawrie and Frazier. Couple that with one of the best rotations in the American League I don't see why you guys won't be at least competitive.
>>67118637
>better than last year
How would you know?
>>67118696
Well memed anon.
Why are divisions still a thing? Can't we just abolish it and go back to having one league? Top 4 make the postseason. Simple.
>>67118743
Because time zone could potentially fuck the MLB during the playoffs. If the top 4 teams are out of the west, no one on the east coast would watch those 10pm start times.
>>67118743
WHile we're at it why don't we get rid of third base, two bases and then you're home that's what I say
>>67118743
They should add a run-up zone for the batter's box and if you crush a homer like Happy Gilmore you get double the runs
>>67118743
Just one outfielder but he gets a Segway
>>67118743
Next you're going to tell me that pitchers shouldn't hit
>>67115513
He played on the Single A team near me. I went to a lot of games when I was little and probably watched him.
>>67118743
No. It's great how division rivalries actually exist and that teams take pride in titles. Let's keep it that way.
Also, I assume you're a Pirates fan who's upset at getting BTFO in the wc game 2 years in a row. Or maybe an AL east fan from the last 15 years.

>>67119868
>Cubs bats haven't warmed up yet
The Cubs' bats peaked already because they ran up the score against the Reds.
Mariners are 2-5 at home; fewest wins in the AL.
Mariners are 8-4 on the road; most wins in the AL.
Wherever the Mariners play, the crowd never goes home happy. They bring misery to all.

>>67121478
Nice that you saw an Opening Day game though, still haven't checked that off my baseball bucket list
the O's are 2-1 in the games I've seen.
Saw wins against the Rays and Jays and a loss against the Jays.
I'm without a car so I've been making comfy trips on the MARC train straight to Camden Yards.
It's also clutch having family that live in the city so I can always pregame and crash someplace close to the stadium

Unlike the Sux, the Cubs early success is maintainable and will lead deep into the postseason.

I always discuss on this board, but I never show my colors.

Is it 2004? Listen to 670TheScore, or 890 where the Sox play now even though it's conservative talk.
>>67122638
Not really. Even in 2012 when the Sox were on top, the Cubs still got all the attention.
I'm used to it by now, I just care for my own team and am holding my breath until reality hits this season.
>>67121277
Went to an exhibition game and one regular season game. I'm going back for mother's day, though. I love weekday night games, they're cheap as dirt.
>>67122639
This is exactly what they said in 2008 when the Cubs got swept and the Sox actually won a game.
Who will cuck the Cubs in the postseason? My money is on the jints meming their way to another pennant?
>>67122716
Pirates. They're thirsty.
>>67122716
The Mets in the wild card game.

I happened to listen to the guys who come on after Mike and Mike yesterday while flipping through stations. They acted like a bunch of cocky dicks thinking the Blackhawks were going to win last night. Which is funny considering that they mentioned they jumped off the bandwagon after the series was 3-1
>>67122716
Dodgers or Washington.
Maybe even the Pirates. I think Washington though. Bryce, Stras, and Max are gonna run a train on that team.
>>67121277
four. I have season tickets though. I sell a lot of them though because I can't go to every game.
>>67122716
probably the cardinals, giants, or mets
put your money on a team that has actually won a pennant in recent years, don't pick a meme team
>>67122716
i would die of laughter if the jints managed to fluke their way into four rings in six years
just three games. here's the mets watching the ws flag get raised on opening day.
>>67123014

How did you form this thought in your head and not stop for a moment to think about what you were saying?

where did you form this thought in your head and not stop for a moment to think about what you were saying?
>>67123063
>Mest have the worst defense in baseball
They actually have a competent middle infield this season and Wright hasn't broken his back yet so he's still alright.
>>67123090
>>67123189
>my pitcher/team has been doing really good!!!
(season matters in this instance)
>Wow my pitcher and team is really shit!!!!!
(season doesn't matter in this instance)
As of April 26, 2016 the Mest and the jints have negative defensive runs saved and are the 29th and 30th in defensive rankings. They literally could not get any worse.
>people talking about Cubs in the postseason
From what I've seen, most whos fans at least realize that it's still only April and its so early with a shitload of games left.
Why are the Ottomans being such morons not realizing that it's April and proclaiming postseason and world series and bullshit?
>>67123252
Now I know that postseason performance confuses you because the dodgers are historically incompetent, but team performance changes over the course of a season
>>67123252
>Doyersfag talking shit about defense after Seager's shit defense cost them the NLDS
>>67123050

>still put up a flag anyway
Pathetic.
>>67123288
It's really sad to me that you can't form a refute or even a proper coherent though w/o having to bring up the Dodgers.
>>67123189
You know how everyone was hoping Harvey as the best pitcher in baseball coming into October? You know how everyone literally has not spoken his name in weeks? You remeber how the Astros we're confirmed for WS championships 2015-2018 by multiple publications? The Point is, the cusb are the pity team of 2016, they'll get their shit pushed in and when they do, they'll jump on some other bandwagon team, maybe it'll be Cleveland or Seattle next?
>>67123403
its really sad that you think a teams performance not even a month into the season determines whether or not theyll make the postseason
>>67123378
That's Kauffman, bruh. The Mets just so happened to be the away team for the ceremony.
>>67123014
>cardinals
>finishing above .500
>giants
Only if they git gud.
>Mets
Doubt it. Their pitching is excellent but so are the Cubs.
Right now though, keeping in mind it is only April, it looks like the Nationals and Cubs are the two best teams in the NL.
>>67123280
Because Ottoman humor
>>67123432
It's really sad to me that youre unable to have a discussion on baseball w/o having to be a blind homer piece of shit.
If the Dodgers had - 18 defensive runs saved like the Giants you wouldnt be able to stop posting about it.
>Dodgers literally have the third best defense in baseball
>Dodgers will literally not give up first place for the rest of the season
I don't expect a coherent reply from you
>>67123467
Also, I'm not a Cubs fan.
>>67123547
>basing the rest of the season on the first month
You and the Cubs fans, both morons.
>>67123547
are you really basing everything off games where the dodgers went 1-3 and then 1-2 in the series against said worst team in baseball?
>>67123467
Am I the only one who thinks the Nationals being good is nothing but a mirage?
5 games against the twins
6 games against the braves
6 games against the marlins
3 games against the Phillies
>>67123583
2-1*
>>67123598
No, you're not. They'e going to come crashing down to earth as soon as they face a team that isn't tanking.
>>67123252
>Dbacks
>4th in DRS
>11 overall defensively on fangraphs
Wow, I'm honestly surprised. I thought it'd be way worse considering the gimped-ass outfield.
>>67122457
>muh racism
>muh 1%
Fuck off bitch boi. Plenty of negros dig the Dubs. It just so happens that the Sox fanbase is tiny, and at least half have committed felonies, so their opinions don't matter. Meanwhile, the Cubs fanbase spans the North and East parts of Chicago, including suburbs, and the rest of illinois down by Springfield, including all of Iowa, and a large chunk of Indiana. No one outside of the ghetto gives a shit about the Sox nigga.
Also, let's compare the experience of going to Wrigley Field vs. whatever shit park the sox are playing in now.
>Go to Wrigleyville
>10/10s everywhere, getting drunk
>Girls Gone Wild just down the street
>10/10 bars and restaurants in stumbling distance from Wrigley Field
>Good vibe all in all, everyone's happy, and you don't have to worry about being robbed.
Meanwhile on the south side,
>Go see Sox
>Get mugged by flashmob
>Get shot for wearing the wrong color
>Potato-kins fresh off the boat from Ayyrlind start a fight with you for no reason
>Leave on an ambulance
Yeah, nice tradition on the south side. Also, the sox stole the Cubbies original. names, as the Cubs were once the White Stockings.
Also, not to mention that the best pitcher on the planet pitches for the Cubs. This guy's last 24 starts is BETTER than Bob Gibson's best. Not to mention that most of the cubs infield will be gold glovers this year, and the Cubbies have the most power-heavy lineup in the MLB.
>>67123678
Defensive stats are extremely volatile over a SSS, senpai. Won't really know about a team's defense until the last month or two of the season desu. Memeke is just spewing bullshit due to getting butthurt over losing to by the Marlels
new bread where
I LOVE how Sox fans in here are so BUTTHURT about the Cubs success, that EVEN the MERE mention of them on TV prompts them to cry about it on /sp/.
The Sox fanbase truly is the worst fanbase in baseball. Even worse than the Cardinals fanbase, by far.
New here
>>67123816
>>67123803
Man you really fucking hate the Sox don't you
>>67123803
>getting mugged at a sox game
You must have been acting like a fucking asshole then. Its only natural for cubs fans to act that way. Also if you think bars on clark are "10/10" you are the definition of a standard issue northside fuckhead.
>>67123958
Nope. Go enjoy your water-downed beer in your favorite south side piss-covered Ayyrishh bar. I'll enjoy the selection of about 200 different microbrews within a 1 mile radius from Wrigley Field.
>>67115424
Hopefully >our bats will come alive with RISP by then. It'll be a fun season if both teams play up to their potential
>>67123934
I am rooting for the Sox actually. I want them and the Cubs to be in the World Series. It is Sox fans that I have a problem with. I have yet to meet someone that is a Sox fan who
a) hasn't been to jail for assault, drugs, etc
b) doesn't randomly pick fights when wasted
c) isn't needlessly homophobic and racist
d) isn't currently in, or once a member of a gang
>>67124030
You seem like the type who thinks 312 urban wheat and blue moon are "solid micros bro, you gotta try one"
>>67112600
I always used to think I'd be ok with the Cubs, but then I saw their fans this last postseason.
>>67124075
Guess you haven't met many sox fan then.
>>67118792
i like this a lot
>>67125141
>he's met at least 4
that's like half the entire fanbase desu
