Hah Astros - best of luck to them

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Blue Jays are looking much better. 6 Home Runs for the Melk Man already. If Reyes can get back to normal. Jays have a good chance of competing in the AL East. Especially when they play at home. It is a big advantage. Remember my Giants going up there last year and getting absolutely destroyed.

Maybe the Canadian Authorities can hold Adam Jones from the Orioles again for multiple hours thinking he is Pac Man Jones. LAMO. That was classic.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

So true - Pac Man Jones hah.

Toronto is still so flaky - ups and downs.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

How are the Tigers 20-9. Not questioning the records. But them only playing 29 games thus far. Every other team has played 34-36 games?

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Blue Jays are a player in my opinion they have the lineup and the home field advantage to the the AL East this year. Finally get back to the Playoffs.

In my opinion they are this years Pittsburgh Pirates. At-least get in that Wild Card game. Burhle being dominant. If the Melk Man and Reyes come through. Rasmus is a Wild Card. This team is dangerous.

It reminds me of my 2010 Giants. Spent the entire season under the Radar trailing the division leader. Came out hot in the playoffs and got a few breaks (Brooks Conrad) and won the whole damn thing.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

City can only hope so :)

How are the Braves looking?

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Dodgers look real good one paper and on field but for some reason they remind me of the Indiana Pacers and could choke when it comes down to a must needed win.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Sandy you are going to make me puke talking about the Dodgers. Giants 3-1 in 10 innings :cheer:

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

They doing the World Series route then hah

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

LOL

Dodgers are loaded. Giants, well they have a slim chance so keep smiling.

:cheer:

:lol:

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Another W for the Giants over the Dodgers :cheer:. Cain vs Grenkie should be a good pitching match up Saturday.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

3 outta 4 over the Dodgers:juggle:. Nice to see the G-Men back at the top of the National League.

Wow, I still can not believe how well the Brewers have been playing thus far. Congrats to them.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Streak over for Toronto

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Darn pure luck....

:lol:

Voltron was a boss show (off-topic) - go lions!

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Hey at least you have your Giants fan colors on.

:lol:

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Lol, Vogeltron is for Vogelsong. My favorite MLB player. Got beat today. Was at game 2 and 6 of 2012 the NLCS when he pitched and Giants beat the Cardinals. Good memories. :lol:

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Wow 2012 NLCS - those were good times

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Considering Barry Zito pitched a gem in Game 5 in St. Louis. After the disaster he was with the Giants for basically his entire tenure. 2012 was obviously very special for Giants fans.

Like Sandy the big doubter. In 2010 and 2012 everyone said they were over rated. I love it. Giants have a team not a collection of players like the Dodgers. Barf. Keep doubting.

Kinda like your Canadians that are going to win it all. RSOT.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Giants do play interesting ball

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Big time.

Yep.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Best record in the National League at this point. I have to give the Brew Crew credit, I don't think many people had them this far up in the standings at this point in the season. The one thing about Baseball is game in April and March count as much as those one in August and September. However, during the course of the long season which is the MLB. The cream seems to come to the top. We will see what happens.

I am quite intrigued my my Giants with Moorse healthy hitting jacks. This guy Brandon Hicks who sucks for average but gets clutch hits and has some power. The #1 thing that people outside SF market don't understand about the Giants. Is how good the bullpen is. If they are in a close game they are relaxed it has been like this for 4 years. If they have the lead you expect the top notch bullets in the pen to close it out.

I will say National League Baseball is very different than American League baseball.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Right on - NL is quite different than the AL side.

Brew Crew is on a tear but they do this regularly then fizzle out.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

It always has. Which do you like?

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

I am a baseball traditionalist. I like watching the strategy of the National League. Where managers have to double switch. Decide when they need to pinch hit for a pitcher. The long extra inning games take much more strategy because of this. Running out of bench players etc.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Same for me. Grew up at Cincinnati Reds fan and as a little kid got to see the Big Red Machine ( I think the best team ever ) play a lot as my Father and Grandfather and older brothers were Reds crazy fans back then.

AL seems to not be so much fun to watch. We got to see many spring training games over the years here in Florida and seeing the NL teams they just seem to be all around better at almost everything.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Expos were NL so... /nod

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

The only thing I remember about the expos is Raines and Dawson.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Wow, the D'Backs pounded Kershaw and the Dodgers.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Pedro Martinez too and Walker

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Martinez was alright.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

VLAD was the man

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Lot of people were writing off Tanaka - not doing too badly so far

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

6-1 2.39 ERA. I would say the guy is murdering the competition thus far. You never know once some these teams get a second look. I remember Nomo in the 90s came over and was unbeatable then all off a sudden got pounded. Same with Matusaka for the Redsox 1 good season then stunk. But Darvish has held up thus far. So you never know.

Bad loss for the Giants today. Matt Cain goes down and their key man in the bullpen Cassila goes down running to first base on a garbage at bat! I am all for National League baseball. But that is a tough loss. The thing about the Giants more than anything. Their bullpen is lock down last 3-4 years. When they are in a close game or leading the majority of the time it is automatic. Two big losses.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Was watching a bit of Toronto vs Red Sox last night.

Yes Tanaka doing very well - will be interesting to see longetivity...

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Everyone is going to be surprised when the Blue Jays win the AL East. Buehrle is having an on year. So is Melky. Outside the AL East playing in Toronto at home they seem to destroy opposing teams.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Win the AL East hah - hope they dont slide (like last season)

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Jays and Giants are kicking ass right now.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Jays lost 2 in a row to the Royals so winning streak is over...for now
