2011 MLB Regular Season Gameday Thread

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Not a good game for the Tigers tonight. Bad starting pitching performance..again

 

[Mexi]

28th guy to do it, still a major accomplishment

You have to average 200 hits over like 15 seasons to do it

Think Jeter would get the mega coverage regardless of what uniform he wore

ehhhh
Craig Biggio getting 3000 wasnt that big a deal
he got coverage, but not like Jeter

not saying he should, just saying

 

[elcheato]

Its just the Yankees coverage really.. When Alex Rodriguez was going for his 600th homer, everyone was talking about it, huge news and ESPN showed every bat he had while he was stuck on 599. Eventually I think they stopped showing every at-bat because it took him forever, but still. All of that for an admitted steroid user.

Anyway, when Jim Thome is stuck on 599, he will not have close to the media coverage that A-Rod had, and this is for a guy who was has never been linked to steroids, and has been pretty much a model citizen with no controversy.

Side note: I hope he hits 600 in Cleveland, for which ever team he is on.

 

[Mexi]

i remember Griffey hitting 600 in Florida with the Reds in 07? 08?, but dont remember any coverage at all.............at least building up to it. when it happens of course there's news.

 

[Mexi]

there's this local news channel and i swear they have the worst Sports department or whatever you'd call it

so many mistakes
so many old pictures of players/logos
so many stupid poll questions

right now they did a piece on Jamey Caroll and Aaron Miles who nicknamed themselves the "Midget Militia"
when its over they show pictures of both guys on screen, but instead of showing Miles, they show an old picture of Blake DeWitt lmao

/random

 

[snipezo]

JBau is fucking unreal.

 

[Mexi]

ARod's hurt. I get it

But Jeter is obviously fine. 5-5 today, hits in every game since he came back i think. playing his position well (for him anyways)
and mariano got the save today. they're both fine

Bullshit that they're not in the all-star game. absolute crock. how can MLB let them play these regular games but not in the ASG if they're obviously healthy enough? if they cant play in the ASG, they shouldnt have been playing the past few games at least

i just think it's not right

David Robertson and Alexi Agondo got picked over Justin Masterson to go to the all-star game.. What a joke.

David Robertson is arguably the best setup man in all of baseball. It's a joke that he wasn't originally selected.

 

[RipCity32]

Justin Verlander is filthy.

 

[RipCity32]

Magglio starting to hit the ball ftw.

Set up men never make the all-star game unless they are the 1 all-star for teams who don't have anyone worthy..
So yes, it's a joke he made it over a starting pitcher with a 2.66 ERA.

 

[snipezo]

Omg Romero made the all-star team <3

 

[RipCity32]

Brandon Inge is a worthless POS lol.

 

[RipCity32]

Avila is that dude behind the plate.
Another Valverde save.
First place going into the all-star break. Dope.

 

[Lake Louise]

Valverde is earning his pay check lately. 4 saves in 5 days. Tough to pull that off. I love when JV is on the mound, because this is the day where you can just relax and enjoy. JV with Valverde to close is a recipe I enjoy haha

 

[RipCity32]

Cy-Lander baby lol.

jonny venters made it
hong-chih kuo made it last year
arthur rhodes last year

he's right. Robertson should have been in from day 1. been one of the best relievers in baseball

im waiting on Craig Kimbrel to make it. such a monster

lol Kevin Correia made the team. 4.01 ERA
lol Scott Rolen made it too. having an awful year

 

[Mexi]

and i know way too many make the all-star team, but im still proud of my man Ricky Romero
came a long way. L.A. baby!

Well regardless, the best set up man in the MLB should not make the all-star game over a starting pitcher with a 2.63 ERA. Not a chance. What's an even bigger joke is players like Ricky Romero, Michael Pineda, Alexi Agondo, Jon Lester and even Jordan Walden made it over Masterson. He was passed up by all of those players today alone.
