Snorting loudly.

Holy shit; these are hysterical...especially the Sidney one. What did this guy do though? I'm clueless on the whole feud between him and Alex.

A-Rod ran across the mound when he was pitching. Braden freaked out and yapped to the media for like two weeks about unwritten rules and hitting A-Rod next time. A-Rod asked who Dallas Braden even is and why someone with 12 wins in his career is talking crap to him.

I just caught a shot of the Brewers game and they're wearing throwbacks. They look sweet!

Dammit Reds.

Has anyone checked the standings lately? THE REDS ARE IN FIRST PLACE! This is weird.

I won't be convinced until they keep this up through July, where they usually go on a 10-game losing streak.

The SportsCenter guys talk about the Reds like they're the retarded kid that sits next to you and drools on the bus.

Welp, I'm blind now.

I don't know which is worse: that picture, or the fact that Sed knew it existed and found it.

You know what they used to say about Pete Rose don't you? "He's the complete package!"

Well the newest douchebag in MLB just reared his ugly head! Hanley Ramirez! What an entitled asshat this clown is. Short pop behind SS drops in and he kicks the ball to the corner of the outfield for an error and then jogs after it allowing 2 runs to score. Marlins manager pulls him out of the game when the inning is over and then tries to be diplomatic in post game comments. So what's Hanley's response? Contrition? An apology for dogging it big time? No! He talks shit about the manager and plays the ".....he's never played in the majors ,so he doesn't understand what it's like to be a big league ballplayer." card.
Good for Gonzalez! He benched the entitled douchebag! Hopefully Marlins players get in this guy's face and let him know where it's at.
Some of these guys w/long term contracts think they can't be touched and can get away w/doing whatever the fuck they want w/no repercussions from management.

I'll gladly take Hanley back. DB or not. I'm desperate.

Good take him out of our division

He'll play well into that defense thing the Sox are mangling. *chokes on laughter*

His defense has always been on the suspect side, which make it even more ridiculous.

Well , Can Hanley Pitch ??

It's weird because in the inning beforehand he took a pitch off the shin, he stayed in the game and hit into a double play, as he supposedly ran slow to first. This was in the first inning, the defensive play was in the second.

He's claiming he was injured and wasn't dogging it at all and thats as fast as he could run. Theres several things wrong with this, if he couldn't play, he shouldn't have been fighting to play, so either he lying, or he was pushing himself when he shouldn't have been, both don't make him look good.

If it turns out he was badly hurt (we'll never know) and they kinda turned a blind eye, allowed him to play, and then pulled him and blamed it on him dogging it, thats messed up and I'd understand Hanley's frustration, but I doubt it.

The Reds have been in first for three days now. I'm still adjusting to it.

Don't go on your usual July slump this year, boys.

Hey, Kusand. Whatcha doing?

My baseball season is going something like this:

1) Check if Jason Heyward is still awesome
2) See if Matt Wieters has discovered his power or plate discipline
3) See if either the Braves or Orioles records are any good
4) Make sure Francouer is still batting under .250, striking out epically

Mine has been:

1) See if Zack Greinke pitched last night; if so, read recap, if not, don't
2) See if Billy Butler is still somewhat decent
3) Repeat every once in a while

Mine is:

1) Read box score to see if Red Sox starters can go past 4 innings.
2) Check on vitals of Mike Lowell, Jason Varitek and Tim Wakefield.
3) Drink.

Die, Harang, die. You are SO FUCKING BAD AT PITCHING. Yes, so bad he warrants all caps.

This post will be remembered forever as "The Harang Harangue"

Hey! Royals, Sox and Braves won. And Baltimore almost won! It's a party in the Non-NY MLB Thread!

AND the Mets and Yankees both lost! High fives all around, except to the Orioles!

::high fives Jason Heyward::

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then.

Please leave our thread, heathen.

Hey if you're gunna kick him out, kick out that imposter D as well. He is a Yankee fan now you know...

Yes. Me, Kusand and Mike are meeting later this afternoon to discuss his punishment.

My work here is done.

Not every squirrel has a platinum-plated squirrel detector that they can operate from their mechanized battle-bot.

Not every squirrel is blind either.

This line of argument doesn't even make sense considering the Red Sox and Braves are involved, but whatever.

Charles and I were having a discussion about changing the name of our blog to No My Team Sucks or No Your Team Sucks MORE and then the Braves win two in a row. Bastards.

GUARDS! REMOVE HIM!

Neither did yours that assumed all squirrels are blind.

Mine actually doesn't assume that. It just says that "not every squirrel." QED.

[Pokes head in to see how the other side lives]

"Squirrel fight!"

Good luck with that, guys. Really. This thread looks great. Best of luck with it.

We're going to need you to share 30% of your posts in order to make this thread competitive.


Actually, that would probably just give us a lot more posts from Nilan. Never mind.

Ok, I laughed out loud. I spelled it out because I really did.

I like the Yankees. I love HATE WITH ALL THAT'S LEFT OF MY BLACK HOLE OF A HEART love the Reds.

Actually, I really just hate Aaron Harang, Mike Lincoln, Miguel Cairo, and Dusty Baker. Sometimes I wish Bronson Arroyo would just get a haircut and go away. But the first four can just jump off a cliff.

Haven't I been punished enough?

And why doesn't Kusand get shit for being a Braves fan?! I realize the Braves aren't an evil, mechanized battle-bot organization, but they were the big bandwagon team back in the 90s before the Yankees! And besides, they're in GEORGIA. No one likes Georgia.

MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE BESIDES ME, DAMN IT!

Braves fans call Jason Heyward "Jesus." That alone is worth ridicule.

I like Georgia. I Hate the Braves.

Your Reds gave up 7 runs in the 9th to the Braves. Its bittersweet. The Reds are just really bad, but they let the Braves won.

Sorry D, its just really fucking funny

Who the fuck does this? Where do you even encounter Braves fans? I'm pretty much the only one I've ever met in the Northeast, and the only Braves blog I read has never called him this to my knowledge. Is this Twitter nonsense or something?
