MLB 2014 season thread

Strong content from an avid fan.

 

I think there's a national fatigue with this team (and the Cardinals) but that was a fucktarded column.

 

Dude's probably a Dodger fan.

 

Me too. It almost, ALMOST, eradicated my bitterness over the Angels getting swept.

Hope you and your son have a great time, Hack. And you get to see it in a real nice ballpark.

 

Yup. The only way this story could be better is if the three of them went to the game.

 

Take as many photos as you can, shoot a few videos of your boy during the game, and put together a little multimedia package for your dad and send him the link. (If he's at all a computer guy.)

 

Dafuq did I just read? "Soft tossing lefty" because he isn't Pedro Martinez who throws 99? This lunkhead needs to pull up Game 5 of the 2012 NLCS if he wants to see "soft-tossing" at work. Fuck off, Bumgarner is a "soft-tossing" lefty.

People who hold these biases are not going to be won over by Posnanski's midwestern poesy, or by a superstar-less Giants team.

 

Another dumb piece by a guy who has a national platform.

He might be on to something about the geography factor. The Royals went 6-13 against Detroit. Looking at their record against the rest of the bigs, they might have won 95-97 games in another division.

 

Did you think? He transitioned well into, "Yeah, but it'll be fun."

 

Nah. Take one photo, when you get there. Then put the damn phone away and remember every pitch.
