2016 MLB Regular-Season Thread

Teixeira helped his old club, the Rangers, by beating Boston. Rangers' magic number is down to 2 for clinching home field all the way through the World Series.

 

I think it moved a little when Hyun Soo Kim hit that home run last night.


Aw, shit, who am I kidding. It didn't just move. I needed a towel to clean up afterward.

 

The Cardinals on the verge of missing out on the wildcard has me smiling all over.
Most despicable fanbase in all of sports.

 

And who knows how bad Travis shoulder is from the other night.

 

I was stunned that was his first walk-off ... I could have sworn I saw him hit a walk-off grand slam against the Blue Jays in '04, but on looking through the archives it seems that was in the 8th inning.

 

Don't start gloating yet; the Giants close things out against the Dodgers. LA won't go nuts trying to win that series but you know they would love nothing more than to be the reason the Giants are eliminated. The way the G-men are playing, I wouldn't be surprised if they miss out.

 

I heard last night that Hill, Kershaw and Maeda are going to stay on turn and pitch. Makes sense as they wouldn't play again until Thursday anyway.

So, yeah, the Giants winning two of three is a tall order. Last night hurt, bad.

 

Second NL wild card is going down to the wire with two teams that can't seem to do anything right. Pathetic on both sides.

Screw it. It's football season.

 

He's had a hell of a week with the shot against the Jays and this. I liked his bat flip after the shot in Toronto.

 

And yet, if the Giants get in, they send Bumgarner out there for all-or-nothing and then would get the Cubs, whom they have played surprisingly tough in two series despite the obvious talent difference.

Do explain. Pardon the ignorance of those of us out West, where mostly this crew -- Oregon football, Raiders, USC football, Cal Bears football (who follow Mike Silver's lead), Red Sox, Giant fans who think baseball began in 2010 -- tests our tolerance for the insufferable.

Did I hear correctly, that the district of bars/eateries next to Busch Stadium has a dress code? That is pretty lame.
