2016 MLB Season random commentary de facto thread

Because he's a hero, duh!



Yup. Well, I sure as hell hope they don't meet in the playoffs. In fact, I'd love for the Gnats to miss the playoffs altogether, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

The Gnats are going to sweep the Cubs and Natinals en route to the World Series. Book it.

Reverse psychology. Nice.

Reverse psychology. Nice.

It's not reverse psychology if it keeps ringing true. I was the only one who had them in the 2012 postseason poll, and I KNEW the Cards were going to bend over for the fuckers in Games 6 and 7 after they dropped Game 5 to Barry Freaking Zito.

I mean, I know that they have to play the games, but I swear sports are scripted.

Are you one of those people who genuinely believes sports are scripted? No judgment if you are.. Just curious.

stay classy toronto

[BuckFoston]

I hate everything about Toronto.

[HollywoodLeo]

Granted it's based on limited exposure but the Blue Jays fans I met in Toronto this year were pretty awesome.

[HollywoodLeo]

But bad fans can always make the whole look bad even if they represent the minority. (Which I'm not saying they do or don't in this particular case)

When to put Britton in... next year? Home team 9-1 in extra-inning winner take all games.

my buddy was telling me this morning about the orioles radio broadcast of the encarnacion homer last night. he said it went something like... "theres a drive to left, seasons over." and that was it. i cannot for the life of me find it online, so if one of you happen to stumble across it, please link it here and i will give you a thumbs up through my computer screen.

Great start by the almighty Thor.

And so begins the slow death march to a Gnats vs. Red Sux World Series.

[HollywoodLeo]

The media is already salivating over a potential Cubs-Red Sox series.
