MLB Discussion - 2012 Season

[Ruaidhri]

Incredible...

My two boys are 12 and 9 so it's a lot fun watching them experience this, such an age sweet spot.

That last pitch by Romo, could hardly believe it...

That last out reminded me of when Ryan Howard struck out to lose the NLCS in 2010. How can you just stand there and take any pitch that is close.

Watch Howard enough and you'll see that he's been making a habit of it.

Well, I would have preferred a longer series, but at least the last game was interesting, much more so than the other three. Funny, this postseason has been one of the most exciting I've ever seen... until the World Series, which was a bit lackluster. Ah well.

Congrats to the Giants!

Speaking as a Giants fan, that was long enough...

Seriously though, with the weather, it would have certainly messed with the schedule it things had gone on longer.

 

[Tiberius Jim]

Dreadful World Series with about as much drama as waiting in line at the DMV.

Blame the Tigers for phoning it in and letting the Giants steamroll over them. And here we thought the Rangers laid down and died in 2010...

Im sure you'd love to think that FA will stay away, would help Toronto a lot wouldn't it? Doesn't work like that. It's about the money, and they have a lot of it.

We'll see with Farrell. Just because he didn't work out in Toronto, doesn't mean he'll be bad in Boston, and if he can fix Lester and Bard while he's here, then it's worth it.

(Quotes truncated down)

The Jays are screwed for years to come. They are basically starting over...again, which seems to be a motto with every manager since they fired Cito Gaston the first time (they must switch managers every two years or so) The pressure is on to win now and the only way to do that is to get a manager that can teach and motivate.

Boston was a mess last year and if you want to blame that on Valentine, fine. But Farrell is not the upgrade you guys needed either. You needed someone who could come in and control all those egos and bring it all together.

Well, that sure as hell wasn't going to be Valentine. He can't even control his own ego.
