Figured we should have a thread for this.

TB/Rangers just started and Moore looks like he's throwing 98mph with about 70% effort. We should trade Duncan (35/120) and Carmona for him.

You don't give up a 35/120 guy for a guy who only gives 70% effort out there.

Idiot.

What if they threw in Shields? (one year wonder)

Did you see Carmona in 2007 and in that one game this season? Almost dominant.

Just say, "No Moore".

I don't care what they throw in. You start messing with a middle of the order lynch pin like Duncan and it could all unravel. You clearly didn't see him blow up when rosters expanded and his 9 years in Triple A paid off against teams going hard like the Twins and White Sox.

How did we ever let Shoppach get away? Fuckin' Shapiro.

by **motherscratcher** » Fri Sep 30, 2011 8:07 pm

Is it weird that when they show that Cooper Stone kid (the kid whose dad died at the Rangers game) it makes me so goddamn sad that I feel like crying?

I was happy to see him do so well today....

No hitter for Moore if not for Hamilton. I picked Texas pre-season but Tampa is certainly on a roll.

Shopvach saved his best gameof the year for today. From what I remember he was horrible this year. Hamilton was the only Ranger who showed up tonight.

by **1Perry** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 11:06 am

He did have a horrible year, offensively. Don't take that as me yearning for him back. LOL

by **RedDawg53** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 10:54 pm

Rangers vs Rays game is very intense right now.

I also hope the Yanks vs Tigers game is a wash out again

by **peeker643** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 11:21 pm

Ahh... Mitch Moreland. Big insurance HR there. Real big in that park. We need a Mitch Moreland here in the Tribe lineup. I'd really prefer the Mitch Moreland in the Tribe lineup.

I remember you saying that somewhere else and that's exactly what I was thinking about while he was rounding the bases.

Or we can sign Thome and have 2 below average DHs. Either way. ::doh::

Kinda hoping for a Rangers vs Tigers ALCS. Networks won't like it. But I canny stand watching the Yanks. Then the Rangers to crush the Tigers. I want Jhonny to be normal again; not caring.

I saw the Rangers play in Arlington two weeks ago and they are playing like a championship team. They have the hitting + pitching + Josh Hamilton + the heart. They reminded me of the Indians of '07. There was only one difference; better managing. And they do have the experience. Strange thing was that the Rangers played Wedge's Mariners that weekend. And his team reminded me of the Indians of '09.

I see the Rangers playing the Brew crew in the WS and winning. Again, networks will be sad. :clap:

I can't believe this, but I'm rooting for Yanks. Why? Detroit's poser shit sucks for one. And as much as I hate the Yanks, watching Jeter play in the postseason is sublime. Guy is just so un-fucking-believably clutch. As he nears his sunset...I enjoy his play more and more.

Of course I hope the souls of Yankee fans get ripped out in Game 7 of the Serious tho. (smoke)

by **swerb** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 8:30 am

I'm conflicted on this one tonight too. I hate both teams, but kinda like both managers.

When in doubt, bet on the game to manufacture a bias. ;-) ;) :wink:

Painful to watch Victor. And CC. And Jhonny. And CP Lee.

But mostly Victor.

by **motherscratcher** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 12:25 am

3-2 Detroit in the 8th.

If the Tribe was playing I'd be having a heart Attack. Goddamn do I miss that feeling.

Leyland was ducking into the dugout tunnel to smoke'em three at a time.

And in my mental ear I heard John Sterling's voice plaintively wailing "the Yankees lose, the Yaaaaaankees lose". :woot:

Even better it ended with an A-Rod whiff.

Kind of wondering watching the game last night, even though I know the answer.

WTF happened to "The Bronx Zoo"? Elimination game and not only was the quietest Bankee crowd I can remember, lots of open seats.

Maybe first born children is a little pricey even in New York?

by **swerb** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 9:06 am

There's nothing better than watching ARod choke in big spots, then that camera shot of him looking up at the sky, seemingly perplexed.

Biggest mistake they ever made, that new stadium. Some things you just can't re-create.

by **peeker643** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 8:19 pm

Ho Lee Shit Chris Young. What a play at what a time. Wow.

by **peeker643** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 8:23 pm

By the way, this logo is awesome. Never noticed it before with the mirror image 'd' and 'b' :

by **motherscratcher** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 11:26 pm

It was only about a year ago that I recognized the "M" and "B" in this logo that I had been looking at for most of my life

If blew my mind

Nice. Never noticed it either. Just not a uniform/logo guy. But that's also well done.

Glad I'm seeing this shit at 44yrs old. Usually you start having trouble seeing shit now.

The five highest payrolls are out of the postseason. No East or West Coast teams, its the Midwest plus Texas?

MLB shivved Uncle Moneybags when I wasn't looking.

by **RedDawg53** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 11:27 pm

Gotta be the first time in a while there's no Yanks, Mets, Sox, Dodgers, Phillies in any Championship Series. I'm enjoying this.

I'm not enjoying Joe Buck & Tito Francona... Joe is blowing Tito pretty good. Eh, better than McCarver any day :thumb up:

AJ Perdickski in the booth? WTF? Guy is the most hated baseball player in the world, known throughout the league as a first class douchebag. So hey...let't give him a mike.

They mentioned earlier that the top 5 payroll teams are out of the playoffs. So, money CAN'T buy a championship all the time? SaWeet!

Also said NO eastern division team in any longer...AL or NL. My Red Sux and skankee neighbors were talking - something about no "good" team left. Um, if they aren't good why are they still IN????? Jackass east coast attitudes. They pay attention to no other teams but skankees and Sux.

Anyway, I'm LOVING it too!!!

by **peeker643** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 10:30 am

Guys, I get that the top 5 payrolls in the game are all out of thing.

But lemme ask ya which 5 teams next season (and the season after that and the season after that and the...) have the best chance to make the playoffs.

The system is the system, but I can't get much enjoyment over the big guys getting knocked around this fall when I know their fans will be right there every year if they're smart and the 20+ small market guys will be battling to see whose window opened that year.

It'll always be better to be the legitimate, die-hard fan of the big boys than the Tribe. And yeah, there are some of those there too.

That said, go Brewers.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 5:27 pm

YES!!!

GO BREWERS!

I ENDORSE THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR HIGH % OF GERMANS AND LOVE OF BEER!

Martinez AND Peralta go yard tonight? Argh! In the words of former Apple Creek resident, KSU graduate and legendary Boston sportscaster (now off the air) Bob Lobel: Why can't we get players like that?

If I had skills, I'd edit this video to have the dudes in the cupboard wearing Yanks, Sawx, and Phils gear. Bunch of babies.

Victor, he of 3 lifetime triples, had one last night as the Tigers hit for the natural cycle in the 6th.

Big ups to the National Anthem guy. Well played. Time for pumpkin beer.
