2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

Indeed, he is the only adult who deserves to get a foul ball at the expense of any child, crying or otherwise.

 

I think they knew damn well what they were doing. Smug assholes.

 

Great stuff, Chip.

I checked out a few other "Pure Michigan" ad parodies, and this one about the Renaissance Festival was awesome:

"They celebrate the 16th Century, which is the last time most of the men here saw a woman naked."

 

The way ESPN wrote story makes no sense at all:
NEW YORK -- Detroit Tigers left fielder Delmon Young has been arrested on a hate-crime harassment charge after police say he attacked a group of men and yelled anti-Semitic epithets.

Police say Young was standing outside of the Hilton New York, not far from Times Square. A group of about four Chicago tourists staying there were approached by a panhandler wearing a yarmulke.

As the group walked up to the hotel doors, Young started yelling anti-Semitic epithets. Police say it's not clear who he was yelling at, but he got into a tussle with one of the Chicago group, who sustained scratches to his elbows.

 

Hah that's funny. I happened to be watching game and could not help but think about Peter King.

This couple did nothing to dethrone King who resorted to trickery to get his ball. They also probably paid for their seats.

They did look goofy though in their coordinated Ranger jersey's.

Have to say that I am surprised that The Rangers are still tossing balls to fans after last year.

 

Bryce Harper's going to the Show.

 

Yep.

Always love a Times architecture review.

 

Another fine managerial evening for Girardi.

 

Jeter goes from first to third on a walk (wild pitch) and scores the winning run on a wild pitch. Manky's wife is gonna be sore tonight.

 

So, they overcame Girardi's poor managing again?

 

Per teh Twitterz, Mike Trout has been called up to the Angels and Bobby Abreu released. That's two teenagers recalled in the same day. The rest of us feel fucking ancient.
