Running 2011 Baseball Thread, Vol. I: Dedicated to spnited

The purpose of the postseason is to crown a champion. It is not to decide who's the best team.

If the Phillies got screwed, it's their own fault.

 

Baseball, of course, I'm quite familiar with, but it's the least of the big 3 sports that I follow. (Hockey's 4th on my list BTW)
But, I've never heard of Al Alburqureque before right now.

 

Cabrera might want to drop the piano before he tags up next time.

 

That is ridiculous, and I could give 2 shits about the Phillies

 

Elvis Andrus' facial hair is great, looks like he got the fake beard from the kid who played Abe Lincoln in a school play.

 

Hey Mike Scioscia, what'd you think of Mike Napoli's defense there? But hey you have Jeff Mathis. That's great. #FRAUD

 

Scioscia to you is the same as a tattooed black man to Hondo. I don't sense a lot of love.

 

Rangers just plunged the dagger. Game and series over.

 

So the Tigers walk a limpy Beltre to face Napoli then Cruz? Goodnight, Tigers. Beat themselves.

 

Hey Mike Scioscia, Mike Napoli just very likely put the Texas Rangers in the World Series for the second straight year. #FRAUD

And yes JC, though I don't dislike Scioscia nearly as much as hondo dislikes black people.

 

Leyland is the world's champion of the intentional walk. It's like he waits all night so he can start issuing them.

 

Phillies had 7 games to beat the Giants last year, and we all know how well that worked. And all season long we've been hearing how awesome the Phillies are and how they're gonna dominate in the postseason. But again, another epic fail. So of course, we have to change the rules just for the Phillies, just like we need to add another team to the playoffs just so ESPN, TBS and Fox can have a circle jerk over the Yankees and Red Sox. Perhaps the problem is the Phillies aren't built for the postseason, like, say, San Francisco was last fall? Or, in other words, get over it!
