helluva double play

They better call that a homerun in this Indians game.

Pretty neat that Bream's slide at home shut the door on the Pirates for twenty years and Lugo's "slide" at home apparently shut the door on the Pirates' first real team since 92.

^^^dont forget the COKE

8/4/2011 3:03:42 PM

Not trying to be condescending, I genuinely feel bad for the Braves. 2nd in the NL, 4th in MLB, 8 games back for the division.

8/4/2011 3:47:06 PM

Fuck dem faggots. Wild Card teams win in the postseason all the time. They're the last people you should feel sorry for.

8/4/2011 4:01:45 PM

Well my brother-in-law is a Reds fan, so I guess I should feel sorry for him about now haha.

8/4/2011 4:04:48 PM

I hope you die in your sleep tonight

8/4/2011 5:15:48 PM

^^^no. No they don't

Come on marlins.

8/4/2011 11:01:57 PM

So they last day of the regular season this year is a Wednesday? And all the games are 7:00? That's weird.

8/5/2011 9:29:52 AM

They did it to start the playoffs on the weekend, but they still need to go best of seven in the DS

and I'm sure the 7 o'clock thing is a mistake

8/5/2011 9:48:21 AM

I mean 7:00 local time, but there are a few afternoon games

I'm just so used to the season ending on a Sunday afternoon

[Edited on August 5, 2011 at 10:11 AM. Reason : Agree on seven game LDS. Best team doesn't always win a five game series]

^^ agreed. The NBA finally did this decade in the first round.

And the best team doesn't always win in 7 either. See 2006 NLCS. And yes, I'm still bitter.

Well, no shit. The best team wouldn't necessarily win in a 162 game series, but a lesser team with three dominant starters can win a five-game series. See: 2010 Phillies (and probably 2011 Phillies).

[Edited on August 6, 2011 at 3:43 PM. Reason : The proposals for expanding the playoffs are pretty dumb]

8/6/2011 3:42:47 PM

why would you play a series you could tie 81-81

Looked like a shit call, I don't see the problem

That happens in HS and college all the time

8/11/2011 1:55:18 PM

The problem is that he's a d bag

8/11/2011 1:57:42 PM

I, too, hold a general grudge against people who are younger and more successful than myself, but I'm not willing to shit on his entire persona based on a couple isolated incidents. You could make anyone look like an asshole that way. Except maybe Jim Thome.

8/11/2011 2:07:04 PM

how old is he? i played baseball longer than he has, and i've never gotten in an umps face like that. he's a prick.

8/11/2011 2:11:11 PM

There's only one word for a guy like this, we both know what it is



Maybe you'll change your tune when he's blowing kisses to D.J. Carrasco

8/11/2011 2:12:04 PM

To be honest, that was a pretty bad call. Although I think he is generally a douchebag, I think his anger was kind of warranted there.

8/11/2011 2:55:01 PM

A general rule in pro baseball is don't act like a fucking baby if an ump makes a bad call. Most dudes just walk away and mutter shit to the ump under their breath.

8/11/2011 3:44:05 PM

anybody catch the guy get knocked out at 1st base during, I suppose, batting practice while Bobby Valentine was doing some talking in the foreground today? I was cracking up because they had no idea what was going on behind him. You saw the guy get hit and just fall down to the ground and the guys at 2nd base slowly walked over and started to huddle around him. i was all

8/14/2011 8:22:02 PM

No, but

8/14/2011 9:31:58 PM

Jim Thome just hit his 600th HR

8/15/2011 9:16:10 PM

congrats Thome, I hope he goes into the HOF as an Indian

also, I kinda wanna go troll that Dan Graziano idiot on twitter again since hes the guy who thinks Thome doesnt belong in the HOF

oh yeah, and my Tribe is only two games back from the Tigers now (they also have played 4 less games that Detroit at this point in the season). Now that Choo is back, Kipnis and Asdrubal are on fire, and Ubaldo is starting to heat up we could be in for a run to the AL Central crown

killer story: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Teammates-enable-Indians-8217-Hannahan-to-see-;_ylt=AqE5DVGhwxz0qQD4vPbgg92FCLcF?urn=mlb-wp16136

Quote :

"That infielder Jack Hannahan is something like the 25th man on the Cleveland Indians roster matters little to his teammates. They treat him like a first-string person. Like a brother. When Hannahan needed an assist earlier this month in order to be with his wife for the premature birth of their son, Justin Masterson and company made it happen. One night when the Indians were playing at Boston, Hannahan's agent, Joe Speed, got a call. Hannahan's wife, Jenny, who had been relegated to bed rest back in Ohio, was having birthing contractions. Despite being early in her third trimester, she appeared to be heading into labor months ahead of schedule. Another problem for Hannahan: There were no available flights home that night. Rosecrans writes: So even while Hannahan was at bat in the game, Speed booked the first flight in the morning out of Logan airport in Boston back to Cleveland, even knowing that would likely be too late. His next step was calling about private planes. They were available, but they cost $35,000. Even though Hannahan has a contract for $500,000 this year, $35,000 is still seven percent of his annual salary — that's a lot of money on a gamble that it would be the night Jenny gave birth. Hannahan no doubt lives a wonderful life as a major leaguer, but he's a working man's ballplayer. As a third-round pick 10 years before, it's not like Hannahan and family can live off a big signing bonus. So, with only two-plus years of service time vested in the major leagues and no guarantee that he would be making big league money for much longer, Hannahan couldn't bring himself to charter a jet. He'd just take that first morning flight out of Logan. But then Masterson came over and asked what was happening. He had a thought, and wasn't taking no for an answer. Walters recounted the conversation: "Book it," Masterson told Hannahan. "I can't. It costs too much," Hannahan replied. "Book it!" Masterson said. Then Masterson passed a hat around the clubhouse. Teammates immediately contributed $35,000. Hannahan took the private plane, arrived in Cleveland about 3 a.m. and reconnected with his wife just 15 minutes before John Joseph Hannahan V was born. Though he weighed just 2 pounds, 11 ounces at birth and hasn't come home from the NICU yet, baby reportedly is doing fine. As are mom and dad. Teammates enable Indians’ Hannahan to see preemie son’s birthEven if his team doesn't make the playoffs, Manny Acta probably will win AL Manager of the Year because the Indians are performing way beyond what most expected. But I have to think that the environment in Cleveland's clubhouse that encouraged players to use their own money to help Hannahan is some of his doing. Though they obviously could afford to band together and rent a jet, the Tribe's roster isn't exactly full of millionaires like it might have been in the Albert Belle era. Heck, Masterson makes less money than Hannahan. But it's this kind of camaraderie that helps get a team through a 162-game season. And it makes you want to root for the Indians if you don't already. If this story is indicative, they seem like a good bunch of guys. And that counts for a lot in these times when cynicism can dominate"

8/17/2011 1:38:50 PM

^ good story.

And LOL at the last Ernie gif. Watch how the catcher adjusts his cup as both hitter and pitcher are rolling on the ground kind of like he's saying "suck it bitches".
