I can't even believe he was actually still playing. He hasn't been a factor in... Well ever, really.

This is pretty much the perfect summary of Juan Pierre's career. From the man himself, no less.

The Giants won their division in 10 and 12. Not exactly the backdoor. In general I'd reserve my disdain for the powerhouse regular season teams that collapse in the postseason.

Oh, you mean like the Dodgers?

Now that you mention it, they do fit that profile!

If you really think about it, everybody in the National League not named the Giants and Cardinals fit that profile.

Nobody in the NL can beat them but each other in the postseason- the last time we had a WS without either of them was 2009.

This year, I don't care what happens in the AL- all I want is a Giants/Cardinals free NLCS (I don't think it's likely both miss the playoffs altogether)

MLB 2015- AKA Go anyone but the Giants and Cardinals.

I don't have a horse in the AL, and since nobody in the NL can ever beat these two teams, I fear we're gonna get the same old same old.

I'm looking forward to AL baseball this season, while the NL is merely going to be a six-month test of which team will have their hearts broken in October as we get the inevitable Giants/Cardinals WS appearance.

Why I think Vlad should be in the hall-of-fame: Best bad ball hitter of all time has to count for something. He didn't care, he was swinging at everything and he was putting wood on everything.

With all these guys now working the count and extending at-bats to 10 pitches and stepping out and adjusting their gloves/helmet/crotch after every pitch it was fun to see a guy out there just hackin

I hadn't clicked the link before I started typing this post, but I was going to respond by describing the same exact hit that's on the video. (Vlad got to 2nd after hitting a ball that bounced before getting to the plate.) I also remember at least two times where Vlad was trying to be intentionally walked and he still swung at a pitch way out of the zone for a double. It wasn't even a misthrow by the pitcher. It was a legitimate intentional walk.

The things he did constantly surprised me. For better or worse, Vlad was purely amazing.

Vlad should absolutely be in the Hall. A freak of nature, and incredibly dominant in his time.

I definitely think Hall of Fame when I think of Vlad. He's probably not an absolute slam dunk, but he'll get in, and probably should.

Else.

Hey, look everyone! Daniel Murphy just did something OFF the field for once!:

Uh-oh. I liked Daniel Murphy.

I did too, but I always disagreed with his left-handed hitting lifestyle. Choosing to be a lefty is just wrong.

Well done. I was going to say something longer, but yours was better.

I'm feeling it's Washington's to lose, & they will again. MLB favourites aren't really having a great 21st century WS prediction wise are they?

Dodgers will defeat the Angels in 5 games.

btw, the Blue Jays will make the playoffs & by Sept ppl will be wondering wtf took so long, this seems so easy.

At least he's not a switch hitter.

...I'll see myself out.
