This Stanton guy looks really good, but this Judge fellow just sucks dick.

god i forgot what a beating a-rod is to listen to.  i mean, he always has been, but tonight is the first time i've noticed him doing something that specifically bothers me:

whenever somebody is trying to make a point by making a list, and the first two things on the list are synonyms, i stop listening.  maybe the wife has just made me more aware, because she does it all the time to try to prove shitty points.  in a 15 minute span, a-rod was talking about someone (stanton maybe?) and said, "he's smart, he's intelligent, he's..." and just now, talking about cole, "he's gotten in shape, he's fit, he's..."

just throw it on the pile i guess.

[Scraps 13,582]

Can Manfred fall off that ledge?

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Why would ESPN cut off the interview with the commissioner when a rain delay is starting?  You've got plenty of time now to ask more in-depth questions and followups.

I was just casually listening and noticed both instances.

for future use, i refer to this as “listing at”. it’s a verb. like, “hey, please don’t list at me.”

My phrase is “throwing the thesaurus.” He please don’t throw your thesaurus at me.

I hear ya. You’re totally right. Couldn’t agree more.

However, saying  OU blows, Big Red sucks, the Sooners eat dicks is perfectly acceptable.

proof there is a God, he'd had enough of Arod 

[InkaUtexas 26,140]

Dammit 2020. I hate both these teams, but I wanted some baseball. So now the teams are what? Sitting next to each other in the locker rooms? Send em home, call the game, bring on the other game. 

[Radical Larry 28,663]

On to LA.

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

Mookie does look kinda clean in dodger blue.

Yes he does. And it pisses me off. Damn we were so fucking dumb. 

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

Didn’t know hunter pence landed back on his feet in SF. Good for him.

Looks like an A-team vs B-team scrimmage. I don't think there's a single Giant who would start for LAD. Holy shit, they're bad.

Can get used to it.

bases loaded no outs and Giants score one.  I can live with that.

Yeah, that one isn’t looking so good.

Carrot Cole

Did LA mix in a cardboard Waldo?

[MC Fresh Breath 4,074]

Man, I know bad base running. And that was some bad base running.

Ruben Rivera was not impressed.

That’s pretty damn good. Well played.

I think the Larry King cutout is starting to fall asleep.

I had to watch that again.  So classic.

 

[dbecks 442]

Brody Stevens cut out at Dodger Stadium was pretty cool, IMO.

[Scraps 13,582]

Giants got some rag arms playing the field lol

 

And Pence isn't even one of them

 

 

[mdmost 43,054]

Fuck yeah. Baseball is back. We needed this. 

[ss13 1,832]

Giants are who we thought they were. 

[Sbbruin 21,894]

Kike Hernandez is a very underrated player.

How so? Stats don’t support. Lifetime OPS is.742. BA is .241. Hits some homers but strikes out a lot. I’ll give you good defense.

If you only watched his games against the Giants you'd think he's Ted Williams.

Nice mask, Fauci.

Of all the threads fatgirl was gonna fuck up, I wouldn’t have bet on this one.

I still can't believe they're making everyone play a russian roulette round to start the playoffs.  The Dodgers and Yankees getting knocked out would only be what mlb deserves.

[htown85 159]

Watching the game last night, I forgot how terrible ESPN's broadcast is.  

[miguelito 11,312]

With no fans, I'm sure we could hear the players chatting.  Just stick some mikes around the field and don't have any announcers.

Stats, schmats.  He's clutch, and super versatile.  Can play basically 6-7 positions in the field well.
