Also the Jays winning one would be nice to watch.

El Fangel 08-20-2014 02:16 AM

Tony Parker. Let's see without looking if I can remenee his position. Wanna say 3rd base for some reason.

El Fangel 08-20-2014 02:17 AM

He's a basketball player. Here I was thinking you were referring to a Nationals player. They have a Tony?

screech 08-20-2014 05:53 AM

He's talking about the Red Sox

El Fangel 08-20-2014 10:01 AM

Oh.

Curt Schilling's cancer was from chewing. Ugh such a hard habit to kick, from first hand experience.

El Fangel 08-20-2014 04:15 PM

Fuck yes. Bautista you glorious fucker!!!!!!!!

Giants win their protest against the Cubs with the groundscrew/tarp snafu.

They'll pick things up Thursday afternoon, bottom of the 5th, Cubs up 2-0.

The historical fact here is that this is the first successful protest since '86.

El Fangel 08-20-2014 10:28 PM

Oh wow. Also Jays finally won. But what the fuck was Sanchez doing. Was he drunk?

Innovator 08-20-2014 11:03 PM

Hey, Yanks lost again.

El Fangel 08-21-2014 12:27 AM

That's weird to hear.

The funny thing is there's supposed to be terrible storms tomorrow so good luck getting in half a game. It actually still hurts the giants if they have to hang around since they're supposed to be in DC on friday. I'm kind of pissed myself cause I don't know if I'm going to get much touristy stuff done or not if the storms are bad.

Os won tonight the game I went to 4-3 for the sweep. 15,000 people announced and I dare say at least half were O's fans. Wasn't really impressed with the ballpark. Shitty location really and it has like no "character" to it. Will say that everyone in Chicago has been awesome so far, much better than my trips to NY and Boston.

Garrett Richards suffered a pretty serious knee injury while covering 1B yesterday. Hate the Angels but that sucks, he was having a fantastic year.

Best case scenario is him returning around the same time everyone else starts their pre-Spring Training routines while worst case is missing a month or two next season.

El Fangel 08-21-2014 08:45 PM

When does World Series happen? Feel it's November.

ClockShot 08-21-2014 09:25 PM

Yankees avoid the sweep against the George Springer-less Houston Astros.

Heh. McCarthy went the distance. 4-hit shutout. Not bad.

Damian Rey 08-22-2014 12:05 AM

That's been a decent pickup for them. A steal really.

Droford 08-22-2014 01:27 AM

Yankees are still 9 games back.

going to Wrigley Field today, can't wait.

road doggy dogg 08-22-2014 01:40 AM

David Price throws a complete game 1-hit 9K no walks and 1 unearned run game... and loses.

First time a pitcher's thrown such a game since 1914.

This Tigers team is maddening lately.

Droford 08-22-2014 01:45 AM

Back in October of2012 the O's beat James Shields / Rays 1-0 on just 2 hits, one of which was a Davis homer despite Shields striking out 15 in a CG. Not quite what Price did but anyway.

road doggy dogg 08-22-2014 01:48 AM

Yeah this was a super-specific set of qualifiers. Regardless, these types of games are pretty rare.

David Price is the best though. Hope we still make the playoffs at this rate because between him and Porcello and Scherzer right now it'll be a tough team to beat.

Evil Vito 08-22-2014 07:19 AM

<font color=goldenrod>The A's seem to have completely fallen apart. Even though I want to see them do well, I have to admit it'd be kinda hilarious if even after all of those trades they have to go into a one-game playoff with Detroit and Detroit knocks them out for the third year in a row.</font>

RoXer 08-22-2014 09:36 AM

There's still plenty of division games including games against Houston left

Evil Vito 08-22-2014 09:42 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah it should be a tight race to the end. Just kinda shocking how bad they've been since the break. Big series this weekend.</font>

Evil Vito 08-22-2014 09:44 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Weird thing I just realized about the A's - their team leader in batting average is technically now Cespedes at .256, Derek Norris doesn't have enough ABs to qualify for it yet.

Donaldson would overtake him with a couple of multi-hit games though.</font>

road doggy dogg 08-22-2014 09:49 AM

Well Richards going down really hinders LAA going forward. Obviously it will only affect 1/5 of their games going forward but the trickle-down effect of their rotation may see Oakland have a resurgence. Who knows.

In other news though, how about friggin' Washington? 10 in a row, 5 walk-offs in their past 6. Playing some pretty good ball right meow.

screech 08-22-2014 10:37 AM

I hate that Washington is playing well because haha they're our rival, but I love Werth and Strasburg so I "secretly" want them to do well.

ClockShot 08-22-2014 02:37 PM

Red Sox win the Rusney Castillo sweepstakes. 7-years, $72.5 mil.

Emperor Smeat 08-22-2014 04:46 PM

Somewhat surprised but more at how quickly Cherrington managed to fix that atrocious outfield.

El Fangel 08-22-2014 05:24 PM

I still have no idea who is a good player or not. It's been entertaining.

screech 08-22-2014 05:56 PM

Dominic Brown is #1

Droford 08-22-2014 06:41 PM

Stupid cubs

OssMan 08-22-2014 07:19 PM

Ok so I watched 2 full games... went to them both... 2 games watched, 0 on TV

El Fangel 08-22-2014 07:38 PM

Which ones. I think I was to a Jays game when I was little or something but dont remember.

road doggy dogg 08-22-2014 09:28 PM

I've been to I think 5 Tigers games this year, 1 Astros game, and watched approx 110 Tigers games on TV. bizarro ossman

Wat

Nationals vs Pirates and Nationals vs Diamondbacks... Dbacks one was where the Nationals won on a walk off error, Pirates game was like... August 15th

screech 08-25-2014 10:02 AM

Went to 3 Phillies games this year: vs Brewers (loss), Reds (win), and Diamondbacks (win). Wish I had cash money to go to more.

road doggy dogg 08-25-2014 11:07 AM

How expensive are Phillies games?

Tigers games are nice, whenever we go it's always a cheap affair. Tunnel Bus from dt Windsor to right outside the park is $8 roundtrip, we typically get SRO tickets for ~$15, and drink at a bar a couple blocks from the park. All said and done the afternoon costs about $40 with a decent amount of drinking.

DaveBrawl 08-25-2014 11:10 AM

Parking near Nats stadium is like $20 at best. :'(

Metro is probably cheaper, but such a mess I hate to take it. Last time I tried, one of the other trains derailed and held everything up. Only been to one Nats game this year, supposed to go to one more at the end of next month to see Miami via free tix from work. Was supposed to go to the Pittsburgh games a week and a half ago but gave the seats up because I rescheduled my vacation for that week.
