MLB (Baseball)

It is that time of the year again. Needed a place here on the IH Forum to chat with like minded baseball fans. Headed to Citi Field tonight to watch my Giants beat up the Mets.

I think most of you know I'm a Red Sox fan. Not looking too good right now. Bard needs to be in the bullpen, enough said!

[thewickett]

I'm a Yankees fan!

[bagley920]

Sorry to hear that

::)

that being said, Red Sox/Yankee trash talk is boring to me.

Anybody follow sabermetrics?

Is Lincecum's start just a hiccup or is there more to it?

[bagley920]

He's on my fantasy team and I've watched a few of his games on MLB Network. They seem to think he's become kind of predictable and has lost some velocity. Cain is the ace of that staff now.

I just have to say this. I'm currently 30 and I can remember watching MLB as far back as 1987. I absolutely loved baseball, played it, watched it, etc, etc. However, after all this steroids shit, I'm appalled by it. Some of my favorite players are effing roid junkies. Mo Vaughn was the 1995 MVP, when in reality, he's just a fat shit that took roids to make his hits go further. Guys like Andy Petite admit to taking HGH and we just forget it, fuck that.  I understand forgiving, but forgetting, fuck NO.

Those guys will never get in the Hall, that's enough for me

Go SOX.  On a 3 game winning streak.

I'm sure most of you have seen what Josh Hamilton has been doing this year. Kid is ridiculous and always has been. I played in the same conference as him in high school and he would hit bombs every game!

yeah, pretty unbelieveable…. and cool to have some memories...

He also pitched in high school. My memories weren't so great when he had control issues, haha.

One thing I remember him doing every game during warm ups was he would go to the center field wall, get on his knees and would throw a dart to home plate, from his freakin knees! It was amazing!

[rocket]

very cool…

[simonc]

is this normal?

I'd say that's more believable than this one by the same guy:

Do McDonald's cheese burgers have PED's in them?

[thomasnunnally]

Honestly, you can tell which guys are using them just by looking at them.  It's pretty obvious.

[bagley920]

Obvious? My looking at them?

I'm surprised at how much I really don't care any more. Ryan Braun is still one of the most impressive talents I've had the pleasure of witnessing in my time.

I'm on that Mike Trout tip atm. Remarkable.
