2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

Yeah, saw those 51's Friday and Saturday. Was thinking of going yesterday, but thankfully I did not.

 

You and me both, brother.

 

Showtime pulls the plug on "The Franchise":

Though to be fair, the Marlins pulled the plug a long time ago ...

 

Ha, Ha! I saw what you did there.

 

Loudmouth asshat A's fan talks shit to Chris Perez...Perez fires back. Of course, I'm sure he will be seen as the bad guy:
I guess YouTube dropped the video, so have to use Deadspin.

Wow, I was at that game. Missed that incident. Sounds hilarious.

 

There seems to be a lot of clamoring for Francona to replace Scioscia ... here and other websites.
Excuse me, but didn't Francona preside over one of the biggest late-season collapses in baseball history last season?? What makes him so attractive??

Personally, I like him and think he got screwed by the Red Sox. But to replace Scioscia?? No.

 

Yes! Giants beat the Dodgers. Bumgarner just a little bit better than Kershaw.

 

So the guy who starts the conversation off with "Fuck you and fuck you" is calling Chris Perez a classless, bro. Maybe he is, but it's still funny that he said it and believed he was the victim. Honestly, I don't buy into the whole "I bought a ticket so I reserve the right to say whatever I want to you have to take it and not respond" line of thinking. You can be responsible for your words and I think that he should probably be happy that Perez didn't jump the barrier and beat the shit out of him.

 

Dan Uggla was a starter in the All Star Game this year. Savvy.

What prompts an adult to act like this? I just don't get it. You bring an athlete over and taunt him to his face, he's going to respond. What a jackass. Perez should have never acknowledged him. Dumbass was looking for a fight, or some way to achieve 20 seconds of internet fame.

 

Couple gems from Twitter....

"I had no idea it was Dan Uggla Bobble Night at the stadium. Another great promotion by the Nationals!"

"Dan Uggla's Brain: buffering....buffering....buffering....."

Awesome.
