You think Pujols could ever hit for the cycle if pitchers/managers aren't retards?

Cause he hit a HR in his first at bat today, then a triple his 2nd time up...then the pitcher/manager got smart and actually walked him.

I doubt Adrian Gonzalez could do it this year either unless SDG trades for a bunch of bats

And I'm obviously not saying that Pujols or A-Gon don't have the ability to do it, but would any team actually pitch to them that much

Niemann with 2nd CG shutout of the year.

7/10/2009 10:26:38 PM

that wasn't a catch

7/12/2009 10:36:29 PM

Haha, doesn't look like it does it? Regardless, that was the most exciting scoreless half inning I've ever seen.

7/12/2009 10:38:09 PM

HAHAHAHHAHA

Saint Louis strikes out the side looking in the bottom of the ninth. GG cubbies

7/12/2009 10:46:16 PM

sorry if this is "old" but just heard about it on SC...pretty awesome technology

yesterday was boring as fuck...i watched like 45 minutes of a soccer game at the bar

7/16/2009 8:33:29 PM

It's on tonight, though.

7/17/2009 3:03:55 PM

OH IT WAS ON LAST NIGHT TOO DOG

7/17/2009 3:13:14 PM

Nobody I really cared about...

7/17/2009 3:53:48 PM

yeah but better than ZERO GAMES like Wednesday

7/17/2009 4:04:37 PM

I used to be able sit and watch an entire baseball game on tv no problem

but not anymore...I'm good for three innings tops

7/17/2009 4:07:54 PM

I'll watch a half an inning in one game, it will end, I'll flip to another game, etc

7/17/2009 4:27:43 PM

I don't have the luxury of multiple games at home, so when I go to the bars, it's entertaining to watch.

7/17/2009 5:08:00 PM

This A's-Twins game is nutty!

[Edited on July 21, 2009 at 1:21 AM. Reason : 30,000 on a baseball post... i guess that is about right]

7/21/2009 1:16:39 AM

How...how in the world was he out? And why the hell was the ump where he was?

7/21/2009 11:26:37 AM

I was at the Dodgers/Reds game last night... the absolute loudest baseball game I've ever been too. Sure everyone saw it last night or this AM, Manny hit a pinch hit GS HR in front of 56,000 fans. I saw myseldf on SC this morning after he tipped his cap.

I'll be at the Twins/Angels game tonight, flying into Denver Friday morning and will catch the Giants/Rockies Friday night. I've never done 3 stadiums in 3 days and Friday night will be my son's first game.

7/23/2009 12:06:01 PM

Someone try and convince me that the Phillies' combo of Utley-Howard-Ibañez isn't the best 3-4-5-hole batting combo in the majors

7/23/2009 8:32:19 PM

the rays looked more like the old devil rays today

7/23/2009 8:58:38 PM

great fucking catch by wise

7/23/2009 10:45:23 PM

wow, Ichiro's walkoff single last night was his first ever walkoff hit as a Mariner. He waited until his 1,953rd career hit to hit his first MLB walkoff.

7/29/2009 11:05:12 AM

Cliff Lee to Philly is 'imminent.' I hate him now.

7/29/2009 11:49:32 AM

I'll listen to WPEN-AM 950 streaming Philly sports talk sometimes on my phone...those guys are wacked out with all their knowledge of their entire farm system

7/29/2009 11:50:53 AM

I know pretty much everything about the Mets farm system too. Sad, I know, but I could probably tell you the scouting report and up to the minute numbers for at least the Top 10-15 guys in the system... and likewise for the Phillies top 7 guys or so.

But I'm not crazy enough to be allowed to call in to WFAN in New York. I need to have a thick ass Queens accent or be high off my ass to even get through the screener. I'm also much smarter than Joe Beningo or any other host other than Steve Sommers.

A tip, Nym:

Get familiar with Jason Heyward, soon he will be demolishing your favorite Dominicans.

7/29/2009 11:58:29 AM

Did Schafer hook him up with his dealer?

7/29/2009 12:02:07 PM

Come on guys, this is the neutral thread. The Mets and Braves threads are for your hijinks and tomfoolery posts.

7/29/2009 12:04:06 PM

So Lee Van Cleef is on my shit list now but I think they gave up too much

Carasco Knapp and Marson ? Thats 3 top 10 guys imo

for Lee and Franciso, I don't know

7/29/2009 2:55:24 PM

Theres still a rumor out there that they're trying to get Weaver from Seattle.

7/29/2009 3:00:32 PM

LOL @ Mets fan making dealer jokes

I got to see Heyward play down in Myrtle Beach earlier this year and he was pretty terrible. Lazy on defense, went 0-4 with 2 SOs and hit into a DP. I was not impressed. Overall the whole team that the Braves have in Myrtle Beach is pretty much shit anyway.

7/29/2009 3:16:54 PM

Judging a baseball player by one game is like judging a football player by one series

Plus myrtle beach is like the best pitchers park in the minors

7/29/2009 3:24:10 PM

I've never seen Heyward play, but I pretty much bone up whenever I read his name.

Your gay little team is 3-7 in the last 10 and you gave up a huge division lead over the course of July. But it's all good, I'd hate the Rays too if they owned my team's ass as much as they do.

And that's all the trolling I'm going to respond to regarding the suck-ass Red Sox.

7/29/2009 3:56:11 PM

Did you get raped by a dude in a Sox hat or something

7/29/2009 3:59:41 PM

I wish.

7/29/2009 4:02:54 PM

This just in: Manny/Ortiz clean. World Series victories not tainted.

7/30/2009 3:44:10 PM

Mark Reynolds with a homer and a steal tonight...dude is killing it this year

.277 average (good for him)
30 homers
70 RBI
69 Runs
19 Steals

2nd in the Majors in homers, top 20 in steals

8/1/2009 10:30:19 PM

And on pace for 220 K.

Angel Pagan.

8/1/2009 10:37:11 PM

leading the NL in strikeouts is fine if you become the first ever member of the 50/30 club

and how about the McCutchen kid from Pittsburgh...3 homers tonight

[Edited on August 1, 2009 at 10:42 PM. Reason : .]

8/1/2009 10:41:03 PM

lol cubs, 2 outs with no one on and a 2 run lead against florida

kevin gregg did what he did best

and I got andrew mccutchen on my fantasy team... he's awesome

annnnnnnnd d lee just went deep

[Edited on August 1, 2009 at 11:01 PM. Reason : .]

8/1/2009 10:59:26 PM

Not that this is new... but damn, Tim Lincecum is filthy.

115 pitches deep in the 8th inning and he is still getting so many swing and misses... 117 after 8. Send him out for the CG shutout?

I thought Eric Davis accomplished the opposite of this at some point in the 80s. Maybe he didnt not get to 30 Hrs, but didn't he have like 70+ SBs one year and 20+ HRs? Can't check stats at work...

Never mind I found it - 80 SBs and 27 HRs - fantasy pimp right there.

And yes 50 HRs and 30 SBs is fucking fantasy MVP material.




[Edited on August 2, 2009 at 10:47 AM. Reason : sd]

8/2/2009 10:45:30 AM

SBs are overrated! (In fantasy)

8/2/2009 11:56:41 AM

Reynolds is good but I'm thinking more like 42/26

8/2/2009 12:07:20 PM

Awesome, AWESOME game at the Trop tonight.

8/5/2009 1:13:41 AM

during this Red Sox-Rays game

Rick Sutcliffe "applauding" Prince Fielder for trying to go into the Dodgers locker room after the game last night... what a fuck head

8/5/2009 9:19:23 PM

I was at the bar.

I forgot all of Sox Nation got to see the completion of the sweep in Tampa.

Rock on, Rays.

8/5/2009 11:11:05 PM
