2008 MLB Thread

zell i hope he makes the right moves as well as they have some good to great pitchers. maybe he should look more closely at what the twins do with less. this could be an all sweep first round.

We have 3 solid starters and Clayton Richard looks like he's about ready to become a starter.Vasquez should be moved to the bullpen and Contreras should be replaced,which means that we need to go out and get one more starter.

We also need better relievers.If I have to see Mike MacDougal again I think that I'll vomit.

And finally,we have to get faster on the bases,and better hitting at the bottom of the order.
 
Fuckin' Sox are done.They can't situational hit for shit!What a absolute fucking waste of a good pitching performance from Buehrle.

Oh well,at least the Cubs are gonna get swept tomorrow and I won't have to hear their shit anymore.

Since you are from Chicago, you know all about the White Sox problems from an offensive standpoint. They can really manufacture runs very well and their team speed is definitely lacking. Give credit to the Rays GM and Joe Maddon for putting together a well balanced team that everyone missed. I thought they would threaten for finally having a winning record this year, but they exceeded all expectations. Too bad Chicago had to go through the wringer to get to the playoffs as staring rotation was not that well primed.

I bet a Cubs fan some money on this series because they hated Manny Ramirez. Seemed obvious they could potentially lose their NLDS with the Dodgers as the Cubs have been on auto pilot for the past couple of weeks. Harden should come hard today, but he is always one pitch away from injuring himself, and it would not surprise if they were unceremoniously run for a century of futility (should be a placard over Wrigley as the north side losers come to watch their lovable losers).

I am hoping for Rays vs. Phillies World Series, but a Dodgers vs. Red Sox would be great theater as well.
 
did they change the playoff format? i thought 8 teams got in but i am watching the playoffs and only 4 showed up.

The Sox are trying along with the Angels.The Brewers are just outmatched and they have no bullpen.The Cubs,well they are the Cubs ya know,and they'll always find a way to choke every year.

And don't get me wrong wrayven,the Rays have one hell of a team and I'm not trying to take anything away from them,that's why I said that I was hoping that we would play Boston instead,because they would be a better matchup for the Sox.

But ultimately,in order to become a champion,it shouldn't matter who you have to play.

I swear to god the Cubs better win tonight! They've GOT to win the next 3 games or its game over. If they ever had a chance at the series in the past 100 years...this is the year and they are on the verge of fuckin it up!

Since I have no team in the playoffs this year, I have to say go Dodgers. Gotta pull for Torre. I otherwise wouldn't give a shit about the playoffs without the Yankees, but I have to be hopeful for Torre. I hope he gets to play the Red Sox in the World Series and then beats the shit out of them

Well all the dodgers need to do is beat the cubs...shouldn't be to hard...:(

We're doing nothing but trying to hit a 10 run homer. I hate when MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYERS try to do shit that is unrealistic. Get a fucking single, move the runners over, drive in ONE run (at least) instead of trying to hit the ball 700' out of the ballpark...it's never going to happen MIKE FONTENOT.
 

Legzman

what the fuck you lookin at?
No shit. I'm convinced the cubs are never gonna go to the world series...
 

Legzman

what the fuck you lookin at?
HOLY FUCK! We scored! Lets see here. It took 8 innings to get one fuckin point. If we play 16 more innings we can tie this game up! There's still hope...
 

Legzman

what the fuck you lookin at?
Oh well, what the fuck ever. As a cubs fan...I'm used to them losing...
