SF Giants wins 2nd World Series in 3 years, sweeps Detroit Tigers. Sandoval MVP.

Tough loss yesterday. 4 home runs (all solo though) and we lose. Oh well.

Alverez starts today...and Pedroia had some...great words about him, saying he's "King Felix reincarnate". Wow.

Ellisbury on 15 day DL...might be 6 weeks, might be longer. Can things get worse for the Sox?

Ladies and Gentlemen - I present to you, the 2012 New York Mets!

Can things get worse for the Sox?

JohnBean42

Yes. (Warning: not for the faint of heart)

Both of those videos are great :lol:

Meanwhile the Nationals are 7-2. Good start. :)

Oh and...:lol::lol::lol: oh Kevin Gregg. Thanks for the win. God, wish we could face him everyday.

Glad I got to see him blow it.

And what is Delmon Young doing out there? http://www.chadmoriyama.com/2012/04/gifcap-delmon-young-zero-tool-player/X360PS3AMD05

I haven't seen too many plays like that first gif in a while. Good to see pros looking like little leaguers.

Trumbo may hit, but he can't field. Future Adam Dunn if anything.

When I asked if it could get any worse for the Red Sox...it might have today. Youk got an apology for Bobby V's comments, but they never should have been said.

Pedroia talking back, so is Youk's agent. Pretty dumb comments if you ask me. Then he goes out today and leaves Bard out too long. And got booed for it.

Bobby V clearly has no management skills. Your job is to get to know what it takes to motivate your players. He just doesn't seem to get that yet. I understand he's being honest and speaking his mind, but he should realise he walked into a clubhouse in 'disarray' and he should just get along for a while before he plants his flag.

-

I wonder if he'll last the year? 2 guys already have beef with him, publicly, two of their best players at that.

Go Yanks.

never let Farrell go. JohnBean42

He's going to do great things for T.O.

If they don't already regret it, they soon will.

Kemp is still a beast. I wish I got more Dodgers games in my area. I would be nice seeing him play.

Back to back. The Captain is on a nice hot streak of late.

The Red Soxs suck so much I'm not even mad, its hilarious. The laughing stock of the league two seasons in a row.

Master_Live

It's official. Jamie Moyer is now the oldest pitcher in baseball history to earn a win. 6 hits, 2 walks, 2 runs (both unearned) scattered over 7 innings.

TonyDanzaFan

Wow the Nationals are 10-3.

Matt Cain throws 9 scoreless innings. Cliff Lee throws 10. Giants eventually beat the Phillies 1-0 in a walkoff in the bottom of the 11th. Quite possibly the greatest April game ever played.

Voting now under way for 2012 MLB All-star game.

Really? We're 13 games into the season. They should just have a 3 week period to cast votes prior to the game.

Whatever, many have complained about it before. It's too early, some players aren't playing to the level that they usually do.

Drew Hutchison makes his MLB debut for the Jays tonight. A lot of hype around him, AA called him probably the best starting prospect we have. And it isn't a 1 and done thing..he should be here a while. I don't know what they'll do when McGowan is ready if Hutchison, Alvarez, and Drabek are all pitching very well. And not injured. We'll see.

Brett Cecil has really fallen down the depth chart....Hutch, Jenkins, Carreno, McGuire, the injured McGowan and a couple more are all ahead of him right now. Not sure if we'll see him before September.

Travis Snider is playing really well in AAA. Hitting .431 with 18 RBIs, a .745 slugging percentage and also has a .508 on-base percentage, seven doubles, 12 runs scored and eight walks. When will we see him, and when we do...will he FINALLY perform at a level even close to that?

On an off-Jays note...how bout the Nats? They lead the MLB with a starter ERA of 1.94 and are 12-4. Excellent rotation and a pretty good lineup that isn't playing to full potential...or so I read.

I can't beleive what I watched this afternoon. The Sox pen is absolute f***ing garbage. Fans booing Bobby V....this wasn't his fault. Just wow.

And now he's in a meeting with the GM and owner.

Lets see who get the 1st base vote: Pujols, Fielder, Adrian Gonzalez, Teixeira, Konerko, Morneau(coming along). Master_Live

[QUOTE="JohnBean42"][QUOTE="KlickKlick"] I am a Sox fan 100%, but I have to agree with you on this one. Very sad too say the least. By the way Joey Batts, is one of my favorite players.KlickKlick

I wouldn't put him there year, I mean...Longoria is a GG 3B who does a lot of great things, and has been here a while. Lawrie plays the game hard and will be a great player, if he isn't already. Was ranked the 9th best 3B by Keith Law I beleive.

Cherington said tonight he's doing what he can do with the team he was given. And maybe it's just not a very good team. Marlon Byrd won't help.

Maybe he will lose the team. It's still early. And the start to his tenure sure hasn't helped. But I don't think he's done anything that directly leads to them losing. Not the pen. Not Lester and Buchholz under performing. Not Elisbury's injury. I don't know though, maybe he has mismanged, I don't watch them that much.

I understand why the fans boo. Team doing bad, blow a big lead, and those comments..easy to point finger..or your boos. Happens in all sports. My only real experience with it was with the Leafs and booing Wilson under the same circumstance. I don't agree with it. Especially at this point in the season.
