2011 MLB Regular Season Gameday Thread

[The Guid]

Jordan Walden shouldn't be in your discussion. He replaced another reliever. They aren't going to just take a bunch of starters with them.

no bigger joke than Kevin Correia over Kimbrel (but i heard he'll be in for Cain)

David Robertson replaced David Price, so I don't see how that matters.

^Jason Kipnis just hit a leadoff bomb in the futures game (ESPN2)

 

[elcheato]

Yea I saw, he should already be in the MLB but they're letting Orlando Cabrera hit .240 instead.

 

[Mexi]

Bryce Harper has to be mad jealous of Mike Trout making the bigs before him
both 19 years old

 

[elcheato]

If the Nats were in a pennant race I think Harper would be in the bigs.

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

not saying he should, just saying

Biggio was never a superstar in this league like Jeter has been though

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.

Like with Jeter, A-Rod was a superstar though. While Thome was always a great power hitter, he was never really a legit superstar like A-Rod

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

They want to rest up for a few days considering they're both coming off injuries, I don't see the big deal.

You know how many times Manny had an "ill grandmother" or some shit like that

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Tigers go into the All-Star break in first place! I like to see that!

 

[Mexi]

I wish Jose Bautista was like, 25

 

[elcheato]

He wishes he had waited another year to sign an extension lol

But really, thank god he didn't hit the open market. The Yankees need a RF.

 

[Rios15]

Jose for MVP! Lol. If only we were actually a good team.

We don't need a RF...

 

[elcheato]

He should be the leading candidate for MVP, but most people are going to say Adrian Gonzalez because writers think Most Valuable means you have the best team mates.

 

[Mexi]

Why I love Canada:

 

[Elite]

Canada and J-Bau are gay

 

[Mexi]

everyone here is an AL fan
you guys are lucky you get to see him play

 

[The Guid]

cause AGon wasn't putting these numbers up the Padres...where he didn't have "the best teammates"

 

[Rios15]

Why I love Canada:

Jose is so nice too lol.

 

[Mexi]

true

but i'd still say Bautista is MVP

Gonzo a distant 2nd imo
