TheClevelandHockey Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 WTF? A walk-off HBP in extra innings? When has that ever happened before?Ahhhh, a night wasted.Not if you were there.Oh god the chants after the 12th inning were glorious. What really gets me is the "great fan" stuff. It's sad to think of our country as a "Steeler Nation", because that would mean that we're a country of near-sighted inbreds from the mountains that can't speak competent English.Let's go Brownies!You mad because the Tribe is stylin' on you?

Neon_Matrix Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Well, looks like the Jays' are still getting accused of sign stealing, so much so ESPN found it necessary to do a semi investigative report. http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/6837424/baseball-toronto-blue-jays-suspicion-again-stealing-signs-rogers-centreNo real proof except for some circumstantial details. Really, I think the stats are a little more coincidental than tied to anything relating to sign stealing. In all honesty, if there was a man in white in the outfield, I'm sure people would've noticed this long ago and this wouldn't be the first we've heard of it. People who have season tickets out there or have sat out there frequently probably would have said something by now. Of course, this now makes me want to buy a white jumpsuit and sit out there and just wave my arms around to see what people say. Could lead to something fun!Or maybe, this is the man they're referring to... Because Korbyn Is Colour Blind, My Signature Is Now Idiot Proof - Thanks Again Braden!!Go Leafs Go!

TheClevelandHockey Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I read that article all the way through and have no a vauge idea what happened. What an horribly written piece.

epper Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Jose Bautista also hit 5 HRs in one weekend at Target Field this year (More than any Twin had the entire year to that point). Does the Man In White™ travel with him?The article is a load of . Can't people just give credit to, you know, talent instead of steroids, HGH or phantom sign stealers?

NEW.ERA Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Some team outside of the Rays may actually pose a threat to the Yanks and the Sawks, so Bill Simmons has to get a smear article going to protect his team. "An American League Pitcher", "Spring of 2010". Great reporting BS. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESTONES6 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Also, ESTONE6, when the Tigers traded for Miguel Cabrera, Detroit fans said "how could you trade Cameron Maybin AND Andrew Miller?"Yeah, look how that turned out for the Tigers. Fairly similar reactions.Miguel Cabrera had a proven track record. He had been doing it for multiple years at a high level. Ubaldo is a complete question mark to this point.

Fairly similar reactions.Miguel Cabrera had a proven track record. He had been doing it for multiple years at a high level. Ubaldo is a complete question mark to this point.Udabldo has done enough to prove himself as well. That's not question, the question did the Rockies do what the Padres did to the White Sox with Jake Peavy which was stick them with a guy they know is damaged goods knowing full well that he will also never be the same pitcher again.Time will tell and its something I'd be very nervous about if I were an Indians fan. I get the front office wanted to show that they were serious about contending, but there have been alot of bad deals made for that exact same reason. Sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and let the talk radio show hosts and fans say what they want rather then making some dumb short term move. (See Heathcliff Slocumb and Bartolo Colon for more info. Two moves made for the exact same reason and look what happened.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayJaxon Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 That has got to be the worst article I have ever read on ESPN.com. I'm pretty sure most teams are more productive at home than on the road. The Jay's are stealing signs because the Yankees and Red Sox say so. So because the Yankees and Red Sox are involved, this crap gets its own article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Morgan Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'm not going to excuse the Blue Jays of anything, but they have hit a remarkable amount of HR's vs. the Yankees at home over the last few years. And not just cheapies, no doubters... they either guessed right or they knew what was coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Oh My! The Blue Jays have a bunch of guys who can hit home runs on their team?!? Would've never guessed!I'm sure there have been times when the Yankees have hit a lot of "no-doubters." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Morgan Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Anyways, Curtis Granderson has hit 30 home runs for the 2nd time in his career, the first obviously with the Tigers.Clearly having his best season since his 20-20-20-20 season (doubles, triples, home runs, stolen bases) in 2007.
