2014 MLB Season Thread

Nice bit of revenge for the Doyers. I guess.

If the Dodgers win tonight, they will win the series with Kershaw on the mound tomorrow.

One of these days Puig is going to get his face caved in.

Some on ESPN wants a Angels-Nationals World Series to see who's the better player, Bryce Harper or Mike Trout.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's not a competition anymore.

One just won the ASG MVP and is considered the new face of baseball while hitting .290 with 34 HR and 107 RBI's in 144 games and looks to be in the lead for AL MVP right now.

The other is hitting .272 with 13 HR and 32 RBI's in 88 games and is everyday seemingly known more for his toolish behaviour then his baseball ability.

I think it's pretty funny at the beginning of the year everyone was saying how good the NL Central was, and they looked it in the first half of the year or so. Now however, the Cards lead that division with only a +7 run differential and a losing record on the road. Meanwhile the hapless Brewers are 5 games out now.

Who cares who ESPN wants to see in the World Series. They don't carry it. ESPN, I believe, will only carry 1 postseason game this year.

Yeah, no one was watching this, but Jonathan Papelbon choked away a 4-1 lead in the top of the 9th, and went all Michael Jackson on the booing phatithful.

Joe West was not pleased, and threw Pap out of the game. So now he's a moral umpire too? Pap is an asshat, but there was no reason to do this. He wasn't coming back after that meltdown.

There was a game last year where Mike Aviles was ejected after making the final out.

[Angels]

holy :censored:......major suspension have to coming for papel-bum, he got too close to the ump......... now, joe west do have one of the biggest heads in baseball, (i do love his turkey-style gobble-gobble triple-chin) but you can´t make contact with an ump like that !

Ahh Pap Swear showing his trough colors again, something tells me he has thrown his last pitch in a Phillies uniform.

Who's gonna want him? I believe he still has a year or so on his contract. I guess the Phillies could eat what's left of it.

[NJTank]

I don't think the Phillies have any other choice

[ninersdd]

Joel Quenneville would be proud of him.

[MadmanLA]

Those of you who are Dodger fans that don't subscribe to Time Warner Cable are getting a favor, as the Dodgers' cable network (only available to thirty percent of greater L.A.) will simulcast the final six games of the regular season on a local independent station.

Playoff baseball is returning to the OC.

[cmm]

So Jacob deGrom tied the modern-era record for most consecutive strikeouts to start a game with 8...and the Mets blew the win for him.

[monkeypower]

Whoo! Clinched playoff spot!

Nice after the past couple season

[Sport]

And no Red Sox or Yankees to trip them up.

Hard to believe they haven't made the playoffs since 2009.
