The MLB Thread

[Chairman Meow]

Fucks sake. I got the live look in just as they lost it.

[RedKnight]

McDonald should've been content with getting to second then. No need to attempt a run to 3rd. 0-6.

[Allan]

Mets @ Phillies is on ESPN America in 15 minutes. Been an interesting series so far. Plenty of runs scored.

[OmarVizquel]

I love beating Boston.

[Haan'sThunderbolt]

Oh dear, 0-6....not the start people were expecting......

 

..ah well another 156 to go..still only early.

 

Yankees next, starting tomorrow@ Fenway, live on ESPN America, I believe.

The whole Red Sox - Yankees series is live on ESPN America.

 

Bookmark Live Baseball on TV. (The times are a little off at the moment, but they are always up to date with who is on, unless there's a postponement of course).

[Chairman Meow]

I'm going to watch the NY Mets game at eight.

 

See if I understand what is going on or not.

[RedKnight]

Anyone who jumped on the Sox bandwagon, get off, your weight's making us shitter than usual.

[odris]

Just getting in to Baseball myself and have watched all of the Indians games this season and like what I'm seeing, would that count as jumping on a bandwagon?

If you're thinking of following the Indians, talk to this man.

[Chairman Meow]

Just so I don't make any mistakes here, who do we hate most out of the Mets and the Phillies?

[Allan]

Both are in the NL East alongside my Braves, so I'm not a fan of either.

 

I can't stand either of the New York sides, so the Mets just edge this one.

[Allan]

Just seen that it's Halladay on the mound for the Phillies. Phillies to win by a couple, with Doc going deep into the game, as he always does.

[Chairman Meow]

I'll go with that then Al.

[Chairman Meow]

I know they don't have a DH in the national league but do the pitchers have to bunt? As Halladay and Niese both just went for bunts when they batted.

[Allan]

They don't have to bunt, but they do tend to if there is a runner on base with less than 2 out. That's called a sacrifice bunt. If a pitcher can move a runner over with a bunt, then he's done a good job, and allows the top of the order to drive the run(s) home, as was the case a moment ago.

[RJ Fan club]

fuckin hell.

 

Jonah.

[Allan]

Balls. The Braves have lost the last 3 on the bounce against the Brewers, losing the series 3-1, after a 4-2 defeat tonight.

 

Opening home series for the Braves starts tomorrow against the Phillies. Tim Hudson takes on Cliff Lee in what should be a great pitching match up between 2 of the best around.

[Allan]

Phillies breaking out the past couple of nights. Doesn't bode well for my Braves..... Though we do have a decent record against them in recent times. Especially at Turner Field.

[Chairman Meow]

Halladay looks very good.

 

I assume he's one of the better ones.

[Allan]

Halladay looks very good.

 

I assume he's one of the better ones.

 

Best in the business right now, and for the past few years.

[Chairman Meow]

He's got that thing the good ones do in other sports of making it look like its dead easy for him.

[Allan]

As the commentator just mentioned, not one of his most dominant outings, but he hasn't needed to be.

[Iantn]

As the commentator just mentioned, not one of his most dominant outings, but he hasn't needed to be.

 

Not bad to have an ERA of 0.69 on one of those days, though.

[OmarVizquel]

Ha, we'll be happy to have you. Don't get your hopes up though!

 

Good team now and then, and one of the historical teams in the league. Tough competing with our payroll, though.
