Seadragon76 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 So, instead of getting possibly the best available pitcher at the trade deadline, the M's end up with two crappy hitters. One guy (Denorfia) was wasting away in San Diego and the other (Jackson) was part of the Price deal.Give me and any other Mariner fans one damn good reason why that brainless monkey they call a GM is still there? In fact, I secretly wish that they tank the rest of the way as a sign to the fans that they shouldn't deal with this kind of idiocy.I think you're just mad the Mariners didn't get Price*e-Dope Slaps DNASports*DUH! All this talk about getting Price and what happens? Nothing. I get that they needed bats, but two guys who are basically .240+ hitters aren't going to cut it, especially now that Oakland has (once again) beefed up it's pitching rotation and, oh yeah, both Toronto and New York are still good teams and Seattle has to chase them for that last wild card.

crownking30 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It's basically World Series or bust for the Tigers. If they don't win, don't be surprised if they fire the first-year manager. With the Yankees, same goes. In 2011, when they lost the ALDS to the Tigers, the Yankee president Randy Levine said, When you don't win the World Series, it is a bitter disappointment and not a successful year."That applies to the Tigers, A's, Cardinals, Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, and other contending teams.http://www.freep.com/article/20140624/SPORTS02/306240039/motor-city-bengals-detroit-tigers-brad-ausmushttp://espn.go.com/newyork/conversations/_/id/7071773/2011-alds-new-york-yankees-randy-levine-says-season-failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I hope that if the Red Sox are a better team in the future, and if they are in the World Series soon, and the Cardinals are in it too, that the Cardinals have a chance. That Game 6 broke Michael Wacha's heart, and with a power hitter like Cespedes, it'll be more painful to watch.You're banned from ever mentioning Wacha again.Fine. I'm just discussing that horrible night. Okay.I'm just discussing how that night in Fenway lit a burning and irascible passion with this Cardinals ballclub.*re-checks Cardinals record*I've seen more passion from ing pandas than from the 2014 Cardinals. Granted passion is worthless in baseball anyways... On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

They're a couple games out of the wild card, but in baseball, anything could happen.Just because it's mathematically possible doesn't mean it's anywhere close to feasible. They are 10.5 games out of a wild card spot and 13 out of the al east. They also need to have everyone else bomb hard too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The Detroit vs. Oakland ALCS would be absolutely incredible, and I'm willing to place a larger wager that MLB-induced first round chaos will rob of us that matchup from happening.Besides, Detroit's still going to derp there way to some highly mediocre 90-win type season and still be unbeatable come October. It's a tired act. I wish the Tigers would play to their talent level because that team, in that division, should be 95 wins easy.--First Yankees/Red Sox trade since 1997. Figures that it came 20 minutes after I snarked about no Yankees/Red Sox trades on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Besides, Detroit's still going to derp there way to some highly mediocre 90-win type season and still be unbeatable come October.They clearly haven't been "unbeatable come October," otherwise they'd have at least one ring since 1984.
