2013 MLB Thread -- Return of the boys of Summer!

Boston plays Monday at 6 est.. Buchholtz is Pitching..

BOSTON WINS.. Tampa is gone...

I've got tickets for game one on Saturday! Getting so close to my dream World Series, I can almost taste it.

I hope the Pirates win tonight..

Awww, here I was starting to like you, and you had to go and ruin it!

Nice avatar as usual, Nautica. Doesn't matter who wins tonight, they lose to the Dodgers.

thats my hope

:yawn:

Post warned, trolling in the Green Room.

I'm just gonna drop this right here...

SORRY, as a Reds fan we have a hatred for the Cardinals.. Molina started it..

What else do they have to watch in Mexico? Of course it has a 100 share. Last night's Redsox game was up against Sons of Anarchy. Do the math.

This was in America. More people IN AMERICA watched a regular season Mexican Soccer match than watch the MLB playoffs.

It would appear that you are mistaken. There are no numbers I can find so far for Saturday, but the numbers for the wild card round, which was mid-week, between loser teams that don't matter beat the soccer game by 500,000 viewers:

Given that, it seems extremely unlikely that the games on Saturday didn't exceed 4.2 million.

What did he do? It's not like he kick-spiked anyone during a bench-clearing brawl and ended a back-up catcher'scareer...

*cough* Brandon Phillips *cough*
*cough* fuckin' pussy *cough*

I wouldn't feel terrible if the Pirates won. They've gone, what, 20 years without any playoff success?

This is a pretty decent postseason. Usually the league screws up and lets New York or Chicago or somebody with a horrible nickname/logo in, but I think the worst city in it this year is, what, Boston?

MLB isn't the NBA. Bud Sellig does not exercise Stern-like control over who gets to the post season. Anyway, it's looking very much like Pittsburgh is done.

And by far, the most objectionable team in the post-season this year was Tampa.

We'll just have to see about that...

Cards >> Dodgers > Pirates > ... > Tampa > BoSox >> Reds!

I like the Cards, but there have been a few Boston-SL WS already. We've never had a Boston-LA match-up. Plus, the Dodgers have an unfortunate NLCS history with the Cardinals, time to expunge the past.

Any who who is a Washington Nationals fan BEWARE! Dusty Baker wants to be your next manager. Don't let it happen, he will ruin your team.

With a pathetic nickname like that, it's already half-ruined . . .

It seems pretty clear to me that that Ellis dude was out at the plate by any measure. Looks like a successful tag in progress to me.

And Jay was doubled off first by a full step or so. The umpires got both calls right.

Leaving for Fenway in an hour! It's a cold night, I plan on many layers. Game one in 2007, I froze my ass off. Not going to repeat that mistake.

Tough to take a loss, but we have six more games. Plus seeing Nava break up the no hitter was sweet. Seriously, the Detroit staff didn't deserve that. They were wild and really helped by some bad calls made by the plate ump.

Anyway, here are a couple of nice pictures, what baseball is all about.

I was about to buy World Series tickets. Loge level. Third base side. But 0-2 now. Hmmm.

The Dodgers are going to get back in it at Chavez Ravine. The Redsox really need to win tonight, because winning twice in Detroit would be tough.

Man they are getting killed again.. WTF..

They can't hit, no other way to describe it. Bizarre.
