>my face when "people" actually think the team with the best pitching depth in the NL and a top 10 offense in the MLB will miss the playoffs this season
>Justin Turner (objectively and statistically a top 5 third baseman, it isn't even debatable)
>Hyun-jin Ryu (best Pitcher in the game who will be 100% healthy, unlike the entirety of last year, he will put up 1.98 ERA, 280 SOs, and a sub 1.000 WHIP)
>Cory Seager (a top 3 shortstop already and going into this season will be fully recovered from causing all those errors in the ALCS (2.9+ dWAR, .290 BA )
>((((Joc Pederson))))(literally a top defensive outfielder that is way better than just a platoon guy .700 OBP)
>Yasiel Puig (top 10 designated hitter in the NL 35 HRs, .700+ slg,)
>Kike Hernandez (a white guy trapped in a black's body, one of the smartest players in baseball, elite measurables, incredible upside)
>Adrean Gonalez(one of the fastest and most explosive players in baseball)
>Clayton Kershaw(one of the best post season pitchers)
>Best Bullpen depth in the NL
>Best pitching staff in the MLB
>Best infield in the MLB
>Top 5 total
Barring major injuries to key players, there is literally no way the Dodgers are losing the NL west this season
The Dodgers win drought ends in 2016-2017
You can't prove me wrong
Cap it
Reminder that Kershaw will win 300 games.
Reminder that Kershaw will retire as the all time strikeout king.
Reminder that Kershaw has the lowest ERA since 1901 with a minimum of 1,600 inning pitched.
Can't make it up.
So do people still think the last place Red Sox are going to win the ALE?
>>67458507
it's a normal home run
>>67458479

I wonder if pilates increases tendon and ligament strength. It would sure be a shame to have one of those stretch just a - little - too far and poof.
>>67458920
It does. From stretching the muscles.
>tfw my Phillies aren't completely terrible
They only need Corner outfielders, a first baseman, a second baseman, and a shortstop! And it's seeming more and more likely Tommy Joseph is getting called up to... get the occasional pinch hit behind Ryan Howard
>>67459502
Also I guess catcher might be a position of need, depending on how you think of the platoon.
>>67459502
LF - Asche/Williams
RF - Altherr
1B - Joseph
2B - Kingery
SS - Crawford
C - Knapp/Alfaro
They'll be fine
>>67459502
>>67459547
Oh and Quinn and Randolph are also top outfield prospects as well
>>67459558
>>67459547
I was speaking in terms of the 2016 team. You know, the one where Emmanuel Burriss is a Pinch Hitter?
Also
>Kodeyashi/Williams
Williams can play, but he's too much of a free swinger right now.
>Altherr
We don't really know, but I got hope
>Joseph
I really really want him to be the 1b of today, If not for him having to deal with all the concussions before
>Kingery
Waaaay too early on him. I'd say Cesar is FINE for now, but not optimal. A Darnell Sweeney is acceptable too. If anywhere a hole can be filled with average guys, this is it
>Crawford
I feel like we're all having too high expectations on him. He's really looking like the player that will hit .270 and draw some walks, with really good defense. But people are expecting a .320 hitter who is Bondsian with walks and Flawless D
>>67459602
Ok, in terms of 2016, you can expect an improvement with Asche, Altherr when they come back from the DL, and Joseph at first over Darin Ruf, THEN maybe we will have a shot at the winning a wild card spot.
>>67459650
If Goeddel keeps it up, does Asche still take over in left? I mean, we know Bourjos ain't moving, because he's hitting a patrician's .181
>>67459660
I assume they will play Goeddel every once in a while because he's a rule 5 guy. Asche has more majors experience so he's the go to.
>>67458575
Just don't give up another triple play tonight.
>>67460693
>Gonzo start
Man....what happened? He was bulletproof around this time last season, went on the DL, been shit since. Even in his strong parks like Toronto and Anaheim.

>6 out of the 7 world series losses the Detroit Tigers have are from teams in the NL Central.
Absolutely disgusting senpai.
In other online wsox communities if you even mention the Cubs whether positively or negatively, you get met with who the fuck cares and other sorts of rebukes.
Why can't it be the same here? There seems to be only 3-4 actual true to heart white sox fans and then a sudden shitload of anti-cubs "white sox fans".
I'd prefer the former over the latter.
REPORT IN IF YOUR TEAM WAS PART OF THE BIG TIME TIM JIM SHOWCASE
1. What did you think?
2. What action do you think your FO will take?
3. How will you react to that action?

Of all the division leaders, who do you think is the likeliest to fall? My guess is the mariners.
Sorry M's I just have a feeling.
>>67461381
>>67461404
>mfw i expected the bullpen to be a giant, lrad blowing clusterfuck and it has been amazing so far
>>67462358
Whos. Royals are too good to stay down and it's still too early. Ms are in good shape, the rest of the AL West didn't provide them any competition.
>>67462358
It's okay. We've learned to expect eternal disappointment.
>>67462358
The Ms look good
Lastros are back
As suck
Angels have one working elbow split among the entire rotation
Rags look good, but i think the Ms and rags will get a lot of wins out of the rest of the division
My Postseason Predictions
AL Central: Indians
AL East: Red Sox
AL West: Rangers
WC1: Royals
WC2: Mariners
NL Central: Cubs
NL East: Nationals
NL West: Giants
WC1: Pirates
WC2: Rockies
ALWC: Royals over Mariners

NLDS: Cubs over Rockies
Giants over Nationals
ALDS: Royals over Red Sox
Indians over Rangers
NLCS: Cubs over Giants

WS: Cubs over Indians

>indians
>rockies
only objections desu
>>67462481
There's that ottoman humor again
>>67462481
>Rockies over the dodgers
Wait what?
As it stands now the Mariners are the most complete team in the AL West
Top rotation of the 5 teams especially with Hernadez, Iwakuma, and Walker
Extremely powerful core of hitters who while may falter at times, are still offensively stronger than any other team in the West with members like the tried and true Cano and Cruz as well as other powerful hitters like Seager and Lee.
They also have the nice speedy players who offer pluses on both defense and offense like Aoki and Marte.
The only other team in the AL West who comes close is the Rangers who I can see competing and giving the Ms a run for their money but ultimately, especially if the Ms add on big time which I'm sure they'll do, the AL West will be the Mariners division to lose.
>>67458376
Are absolutely done
Injured as fuck
Cant play
Angels are done in this race. Rangers and Mariners will be the two favorites
>>67462529
For the first time in over a decade. Mariner's and thier fans finally have hope.
Let's all take some time to reflect on this.
>>67462529
I respectfully disagree. Without darvish the M's might be better. But once he returns they will be the 2nd best team behind the rags.
>>67461762
>26-6
>collapse
Must be opposite day where you don't get shot if you go to the South Side.
>>67462213
I'm cool with who's fans who seem to be bros even when we meme them as who's. But the anticubs fans are pure cancer
>>67462598
The Mariners will still have a better bullpen than Texas though. That also sets them apart.
name a more meme ball park than wrigley field
protip: you cant
>>67462605
I'd mention 1969 and 2003 but a true, "lifelong" fan should already know those teams.
>>67462687
As a lifelong Cubs fan since 2015, those bad times during the dark ages are long gone.

Migo officially called back up
Avila reinstated
Hector Sanchez down
>>67462230
honestly he's just looking to get paid before he gets on the field, he was barely keeping it together two years ago and getting by on guts and moxie back then, he's 31 now and lost another 2-3 mph, jered weaver status
speaking of which what's up with all these dudes going from 90+ mph, 95+ in lincecum's case, to pedestrian speed in one offseason lately
i dont ever remember this shit happening all that often before it happened to like verlander and sabathia
why is Lincecum a free agent? what happened?
>>67462358
mariners are going to be in contention for the entire season solely because of how bad oakland and anaheim are
>>67462897
Long term potential issues from their initial mechanics now causing actual issues?
>>67462901
Exploding ligaments
So outside of non measurable theories like choking in the playoffs or collapsing, what will keep the Cubs from winning the World Series?
They played like absolute dogshit for the first 5 innings with a collage of fuck ups and they still were able to hold the gnats to 3 runs and managed to come back to tie and win the game. If they can beat a playoff team on they aren't even running on 6 cylinders, what could stop them? Even if starters get injured they got so much depth, the replacements will produce just as much.
So explain why? More than Heyward, that guy needs to be benched like Castro. was.
>>67462909
And lastros
>>67462960
that doesn't explain every case, sabathia had a really smooth delivery and verlander was mechanically sound as well
weaver was all over the place sure, lincecum not quite but still out of sorts, now apparently king felix is quietly down 2-3 mph in velo as well but the word is no one's noticing because he caught it early on and is throwing more offspeed to compensate and keep his numbers up
i just don't understand how it happens overnight with some of these guys, like david price is probably going to be another one, when he came in he was throwing 97 consistently and now he can still get up to 95 but he's sitting around 92-93 and he's only 29
Why are white sox fans so insecure? cant you just stick to your team and actually pay attention to the game? maybe even oh idk...show up to the field?
All you guys do is lurk /sp/ see people talking about the cubs and start shit posting about
>ottomans

Its embarrassing and your projection of your little brother complex makes you look retarded.
You guys even have the nerve to search up pro cubs videos on youtube and leave comments about how the cubs suck. Its pathetic.

>>67462901

>>67463072
i have no rooting interest between chc and cws whatsoever but it makes no sense to call them little brothers when they've won more championships and won one recently
it's just a bad look when the cubs are finally really good and now all the paper bag wearers are pulling them off and coming out of the woodwork
>>67463111
Its quite the opposite actually.
>be cubs fan
>discuss cubs related stuff with each other
>in comes retarded sox fan
>Hurr cubs suck, ottmans
> never talk about your own team
>just shit post about the cubs
Explains to me again how we are obsessed with little brother?
>>67462901
He was bad for several years and then he got hurt.
He hasn't been good in 5 years.
>>67463124
again not true what so ever. They have dominated the league in attendance at games so you cant even say theyre coming out the wood work. Chicago is the cubs team. The numbers prove they have the fan base. White sox finished bottom 10 in attendance the year they won the WS. go ahead look it up. ill wait.
>>67463143

ty anon. Most cub fans have no qualms with the sox. We mind our own business. Cardinal fans are more humble when they attend wrigley and they have been raping us for ages. I appreciate a sense of reason from the opposition.

Be a sox fan, there is literally nothing wrong with it.

>>67463514
Nice save
>>67463416
again i have no rooting interest whatsoever. neither team is in the division of the team i root for. i'm just saying you can't call another team little brother when they've done more than your team, and done more recently.
your entire argument is people show up to cubs games. attendance has nothing to do with what happens on the field.
which nothing has happened on the field at wrigley for 110 years. the cubs are absolutely a great team this year but it's a little unreasonable to expect everybody to just bow down when 3 generations, two world wars, a stock market crash, a great depression, the civil rights movement, jfk's assassination, the vietnam war, richard nixon, iran contra, gulf war, 9/11, and the fucking boston bombing have come and gone without the cubs doing a fucking thing.
>>67463538
>The shitstorm from Cubs fans vs anticubs "Sox fans" is all around bad for everyone and ruining generals and gamethreads alike.
You're all the ones to blame for responding and giving it legitimacy. Its your own faults for letting it get to where it is now.

>>67463609
Well give some validity to your argument, who is your team exactly?
>>67463616
You could here however /sp/ is a projection of real life. I'll wear a cubs hat out to dinner and my waitress will e a "sox fan" and she will have the nerve to say cubs suck to me. I'll ask her name some players on the sox.

>I don't know, because it's much more fun to shitpost and if you try that in other communities, you get banned for 'flaming'?
That actually wasn't my point. I haven't seen the banhammer for talking about the Cubs even if you're talking shit for or against. What I observed was people saying who cares? Or ugh not this again
It's the community that give a shit about an unrelated team basically. Here though you see different due to the anticubs "Sox fans".
I hold that true Sox fans have been through too much pain and agony and suffering in recent many years that we focus on our own team doing well for now and not some unrelated team outside of the division and not even in the same league.
Hell I personally hate the twins and dislike the Tigers and Indians far more than I could ever hate the Cubs.
This is dropping some truths. The anti Cubs" Sox fans" are simply not true Sox fans.

Sox fan here, been in the threads for 6 years, the "us true sox fans" mentality is honestly 100 times more annoying and pathetic than the sox/cubs shitflinging. Stop trying so hard to make sure everyone knows you're one of the "good ones," no one honestly gives a shit.
>>67466369
Nah the shit flinging is way worse.
>>67466367

I just realized how retarded this all is. Successor states are such a crazy thing. To what extent should be treated as separate countries? I mean Honolulu and Cork haven't changed locations but the people in charge have, as have the names for the lands within their borders.
If Julius Caesar had a Baseball-Reference page, would it say he was born in Italy? Should it?
Would or should Atahualpa's page say he was born in Ecuador?
>>67466369
Don't care if no one gives a shit. I had to sit through all those years of good awful clown shoes white sox "baseball" and it took a devastating toll on me as tragedy after tragedy piled on in the south side.
Yet despite all that my love and support for my team never wavered. Even in the years where they were so bad, and only like 5000 were in attendance for a game, I WAS ONE OF THOSE 5,000.
Hell, I still never got my medal for surviving the 2013 season.

Lip service doesn't cut it when you've got the 4th worst attendance in the Major League and the Cubs are the 6th highest, with the only reason they aren't higher is because the other stadiums have a larger capacity.

>>67466908
One baseball team isn't enough for me. I like the sport too much. So I picked up the Cards as my NL team in the mid 2000s because I loved how much they were sticking it to the Cubs. I would never ever, root for them over the Sox though. As for being a faggot, I can't deny that I say some shit that probably pisses people off, kiss my white ass.
>>67466918
It's nice here. Great bars and restaurants. The cost of living is pretty low. But you will pretty much end up needing direct TV or a video cable from your laptop to tv from ghetto streaming sites because getting Sox games on TV here is miserable. Despite being 4 hours away, I still get the blackcock from MLB tv. It's absolutely retarded.
>>67466932
I live fucking 4 hours away ! That means 4 hours back. You must be unemployed. I always get badass seats when I go to games though. I usually spend at least 60$. If it's a really good game I might drop over 150$

>>67467061
Just root for the Brewer underdogs instead. Rooting for the Cardinals just makes you seem like a jealous bandwagoning bitch. I guess if I was a White Sox fan I'd probably hate the Cubs too, Idk. I just don't get why you guys don't want to see your city's teams in general to do well. Wouldn't you like to see the White Sox beat the Cubs in the World Series? I know I want to see a Giants beat the A's in the World Series once in my life
>>67467082
Samardzija is a good number 3. What are you talking about?
Also they need to do something about Peavy and Cain as soon as possible, but nothing will happen until it's too late. Peavy especially looks terrible, it's not like they're just hitting good pitches, he has no command and no velocity anymore
>>67467208
For myself I only care about the Sox doing well. Could give less of a crap about the Cubs if they do well or suck.
Also in the case of last year, the Cubs in the playoffs didn't matter to me because after yet another disappointing season I had to suffer through, with the Sox eliminated long ago, baseball was essentially over for me after that first few days of October.
you got a problem, talk to Chris Sale
>>67467234
I meant getting someone as good as a 3 and bumping cain or peavy our, not replacing smar
>>67467208
I prefer them blowing it in the NLCS and never get another pennant, but nothing would be sweeter than the White Sox cucking the Cubs out of breaking the curse I guess.
Also, fuck the Brewers, the way that team acted when they were on the top of the division in 2011 was absolutely full nigger and I hope they stay in the basement for another 10 years. Nyger Morgan, Braun, and Fielder thought they were so fucking cool, then got raped by the Cards in the NLCS. I absolutely fucking hate the Reds, another faggot team with faggot fans. The Pirates are probably the only team in the NLC I could see myself liking besides the Cards. I mostly ended up like the Cards because my Dad really liked Tony LaRussa and hated that the Sox fired him.
>>67467147

>'I'm a real fan who supports the teams guyz!'
Even if you're one of the 5 people that show up to a game, doesn't change the fact the rest of the Sox 'fan' base are all MIA even with tickets being dirt cheap. Even bandwagonners aren't filling up the stadium. and it's worth noting you could go to more games because of the low ticket sales.
>>67467061
>Living in Indiana
You only have yourselves to blame
>>67467385
Whoever said I only go to one game a season? Even in the 99 loss season I was there for a good ten. And besides you now said it yourself.
The rest of the Sox fans, you mean the ones I have no control over whatsoever?
The thing that matters here is that I went to the games even in horror seasons like 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015. I was even at the game where THIS happened. You are trying to pin me and base all your shit talk on shit that doesn't matter.
It's pathetic. That's the last you'll hear of this from me to you.
>>67465775
shitty mechanics
>>67467082
They just need a couple of below average ~4.5 ERA guys. The offense is good enough that they can still win plenty of starts from guys like that. But Peavy and Cain are guaranteed losses at this point and no team can piss away 40% of other games and hope the top 3 can win every time.
>>67467385
Indiana is a fantastic state to live in unless you're a baseball fan. Even then, living in North West Indiana isn't too bad of a drive at all to cell or wrigley It's cheaper to live where I am, but I really miss the Chicago influence on food that was on food in Lake County.

I went to plenty of the games during the dark times, it was only until I moved 4 hours away before the last couple seasons that I couldn't go to the cell regularly. Mentally the difference between a 2/4 and 4/8 hour drive is huge, at least it is for me.
I visit my best friend from HS/College at least once a year that lives in KC, so I always see the Sox in at least a 3 game set at K a year though.

>>67468057
Because you can't get anything for them. The money is guaranteed even if you DFA them. But that's no reason to continue starting them when there are other options available who aren't 100% guaranteed losses.
>>67468019
>>67468064

>>67468057

again i'm a neutral observer but i think some team out there would deal for cain if the giants agree to eat some of his contract
why wouldn't you try if you can salvage even a minor leaguer or two? it's more savvy and it opens up a roster spot while giving something to the farm.
it's not cut losses time for him just yet.

What do you mean they're paying the money regardless? Doesn't the other team take on their contract if you trade them unless there's some weird clause in the contract?
>>67468119
If the Giants can get anything for those two, they should go for it. But I just can't see any other team actually wanting the two worst pitchers in the game. If they can't be traded, they definitely shouldn't be starting when there are some AAA guys in the farm that might work out.

Yeah, I know that, I never said anything about us starting them, some other anon might have, I don't know why you're saying that. They need to stop pitching as soon as possible. I just said that it would be stupid to not trade them if you could, for literally anybody
The fun thing is that with bandwagoners/shitposters, once their teams start doing bad, we never have to hear from them again

NOT SO FAST CHUBS
Anybody know what happened to that BIG PED ANNOUNCEMENT that ESPN teased last week?
'cuz I'm still waiting.
>>67468253
I'm still waiting for the collapse.
the M;s have been playing too good lately tbqh
they still haven't had a 13 game losing stream and Adam Lind has been absolute shit at first base
>>67468363
Very good question. I wondered the same.
Its probably nothing though because fucking E!SJW
>>67468321
Is an ESPN broadcast supposed to draw people to the stadium?
>>67468380
No because fuck espn
no DET-DC???
>>67468367
A 13 game losing stream sounds dangerous and yet so Mariners
BRYCE HARPER BTFO
>finally get pitched to after being walked a dozen times straight
>weak groundout to the pitcher
is harper finished?
>>67468391
No fans to populate a gamethread
>>67468380
Yes.. Any sport in a primetime spot on national TV sells out. Even if it weren't on national TV it's still pathetic. I hope the Caps are playing cause that's the only excuse but even then there should be more fans.

we've been bitching none stop for over a month you fucking cuck
I just found these unopened 1998 hr record chase cards with mcgwire and sosa in my closet. Are the roid cards worth anything or should i just open them?
>I really wana open them
>>67468321
they wont have fans until they make a playoff run
>>67468432
I saw whos and memeiners fans dealing with their shitty teams for years before 2015, where were you? Especially damning to you leafs that the jays had a 22 year playoff drought and you weren't repping. The Mariners are on a 14 years one and the whos on a 7 year drought and you still see them around. Want to explain that?
>>67468441
Cards are generally worth nothing. But never open anything unopened.
The Nationals are way ahead of schedule. They werent supposed to start collapsing until July.
>>67468421
Tigers suck and Nats fans don't exist until they realize their team is good.
>>67468468
>Philadelphia: 0%
>>67468462
But i really wana open them.
If im not losing out on anything more than 50 bucks im opening them.
>>67468322
>rags bullpen
They might, actually
>>67468455
i was here in the basement years before 2015 cletus, im really trying to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are intelligent enough to realize archives exist and you can google jays gamethreads in previous years
>>67468468
That image is like justice for 2007 to mets fans.
>>67468493
look it up somewhere
>>67468462
I have a rookie Barry Bonds card. It's worth about $10 in the condition in it's in, so I'd probably get about $2 for it at a card shop
Big money
>>67468506
I think they're between 10 and 20 unopened so i dont give a fuck!
>nast
>>67468493
It's nowhere even close to $50
>>67468502
Jays werent ever in the basement that much. They were eternally 81-81 until 2015
>>67468523
I opened them. They're pretty cool cards tbqhwy
>>67468171
i think there is some indirect financial incentive to giving them starts. if they happen to go on a run it increases interests and heightens tradeability.
its how tampa bay can make trades like alex torres for logan forsythe, brad boxberger, and matt andriese.
torres is now out of baseball.

wow such a huge distinction, they werent close to a wc spot and they almost had 90 losses a few years ago
>redneck opinions
>>67468537
Cool. Who's in there?
>>67468591
Oh its just mcgwire and sosa cards lol but i think theyre cool cuz its like a trip down memory lane. Its basically the 98 season hr highlights
>>67468586
We have to clarify.
We can't have you taking away the bad name of the v baaaaawston red cucks multiple dead last place finishes

I've seen enough rain already

i always liked that dude, great hustler. i hope he does well.
>Anal League fans will never know the feel of watching their pitcher get a home run
>the city of marcell ozuna
what a fucking nonce
>>67468606
Oh, I thought it was just a regular pack of cards from '98...could've possibly been worth something but probably not very much and probably not $50. Don't listen to some idiot on the Internet next time. Should've looked up what the pack was worth online, but it probably doesn't matter
>>67468670
This. Im sick of AL fans continually talking shit about "baby league" playing the sport the way its supposed to be played
>>67468670
esteban yan hit one once for the drays and i saw it live
but those were the shit years so it was kind of like oh ok
>>67468648
>now
Life long jays fan?
>>67468682
I did. Only like 10-20 bucks unopened. I dont care. Even if it could've been more in future i doubt it would be worth more the enjoyment i get from actually going through the cards. Id rather share that with my son someday then keep them all wrapped up for a few bucks. I dont get that
>>67468670
Au contraire

marlins had a run taken away on a hr because realmuto (the hitter) passed the runner (ozuna)
>>67468304
I don't think anyone expected them to go anywhere, thus no one even bothered to shit on them. I was just hoping for a slightly above 500 season desu, but this is an incredibly pleasant surprise.
If they're still standing tall after this month (rangers, royals, indians, and mets) then it's time to get excited.

Man what a gauntlet April and May has been and is going to be for the Sox. What is up with that?
>>67468304
Sorry, to busy cheering for the firstbaseball team of Chicago, the Cubs.
>Miggy
>>67468706
no my grandfather is a marlins fan and i watched them with him when they made their run in 97
>>67468769
they faced a bunch of shitters in april, but they were mostly on the road and had the least days off of any team in the AL. a lot of people try to discount you for beating down shitters, but making sure you always beat the shitters is part of winning a division.
may is a month of tough teams. i don't care if the royals are sub 500 by the time we play them. the white sox have been absolutely horrible vs them for as long as i can remember. except for the last series they had for them last september at K when the sox swept them but the royals didnt care because they already had a 50 game lead on comedy central.

Baseball contracts are getting ridiculous.
Strasturd is definitely not worth that much money.

I could see a national league team signing him for a 1 year deal.
>>67469468
He won a Cy Young with us. And he got us Syndergaard. He's OK in my book.
>>67469468
hehs gonna sign an NL contract and post a 3.00 ERA

WHAT IF WE OFFER HIM AN EXTENSION

>>67469532

Do teams not put poor performance options in contracts so that they can nix a contract if a player goes to absolute shit after signing a big contract?

>>67469497
Too bad about Syndegaard's mechanics
Is Kinsler the most underrated 2B in the majors?
>>67469571
Not that specific clause, but team option is about as close as it gets
>>67469571
no player would ever agree to a contract like that
>>67469571
I'm pretty sure the union would never allow something like this to happy.
>>67469593
Not really. He was incredibly popular early in his career but Robinson Cano took over as the top 2B. People just stopped caring about Kinsler.
>>67466759

>>67469735
How can one team get so destroyed so quickly?
>>67466759
>>67469632
This seems like a logistical nightmare and poor city planning to be honest. Remember a few years ago when the Ravens had to open the season on the road because the Orioles were playing next door? That was because it would be a traffic nightmare to have both games happen at the same time. Baseball stadiums and football stadiums should be far from one another.
>>67469765
Injuries mayne. Also batting Pujols 4th
One less yankee in free agency
Muh fukm sides... Its rebuild from the farm

Was Tim Lincecum actually a stoner? I know he looked like one but you can't get away with that right?
>>67469790
That's what I'm talking about. I don't think I've ever seen a team get so decimated so quickly. What did they do to deserve this?
>>67469767
Isn't GABP right next to Bengals Stadium (or whatever it's called)?
>>67469839
Its a by product of a sht farm system you fukn idiot
>>67469841
They're pretty close. It would be impossible for both teams to play at once.
>>67469839
We dominated the division for so long, it was bound to turn around eventually
>>67468545
That trade makes me a bit hard when I think about it
>>67469561
Because it's fucking hilarious.
>>67469878
I was referring specifically to their GETTING the injuries, not the consequences of it.
>>67469908
>bound to turn around eventually
You've won one division title in six years. I think it turned around a while ago.
