MLB 2014 Season thread

Ichiro would probably still be a Mariner if that idiot Jay Buehner would have kept his mouth shut. He disrespected Ichiro and everything he did for the team with his comments and nobody spoke up for Ichiro. He did the right thing when he requested a trade. Too bad the Dodgers didn't get him instead.

Granderson.......can you lay off the curveball in the dirt just once? Damn....that dude is swinging and missing by 3 feet on those pitches! Girardi, when Tex leads off the 8th with a hit.....pinch run Gardy!!!....This is the playoffs....can't wait around for home runs all the time.....gotta manufacture runs sometimes.

My thumb was on the power button of the remote with high anticipation of a game ending K by Mr. May.

I somehow missed this story. What did he say?

Mr. may indeed......that dude is done. He could have worked a walk if he laid off the 2 pitches down and in and gotten Cano to the plate. Game 3 is huge.....usually that's Petitte's game....we need Kuroda to come up big.

[DLR Bridge]

I have total faith in Kuroda. He better get some damn run support. Andy was actually great last night. Went deep too. That can't happen again in the year 2012.

Andy definitely pitched well. This team hasn't hit with men in scoring position all year. I was afraid that would be their downfall come playoff time.

[DLR Bridge]

I'm very pro small ball. I liked how Jete showed more signs of bunt during their win then he did all year. If they're not going to get up there and clobber, they still have to find a way to manufacture runs. And your right about the pinch running. Get Gardner in there and move bases!

Speaking of small ball, I was surprised that Ichiro didn't try to drag one down the line in the 9th to get it started.

My thumb was on the power button of the remote with high anticipation of a game ending K by Mr. May.

I was right there too. He's just not performing at the plate. At this point Girardi could get away with using Chavez and nobody could argue.

HELL NO!

He said if the Mariners extended Ichiros contract he'd puke. There was a dollar amount mentioned that Buehner thought Ichiro would expect to stay. I guess he figured Ichiro's abilities were declining. In my opinion you have to factor in other things too. Like butts in the seats and influence on the younger players. I think Buehner or Bonehead as I call him was a little jealous that Ichiro had replaced him and done a superior job.

[qikgts]

Holy shit! Raul Ibanez is the man tonight! And he did it after pinch hitting for Mr. May!

[fourthcoming]

THANK YOU RAUL FOR BAILING OUT THE REST OF THE PUSSIES IN THE LINEUP JETER NOT WITHSTANDING. I expect Ichiro to come around.....but same ol same ol as far as the playoffs go for guys like Swisher, Granderson, Texiera. Cano needs to wake up too and stop swinging at balls out of the strike zone. Hopefully Hughes doesn't shit the bed tonight. Go Yanks.

P.S. Kuroda pitched his balls off last night.....so did the kid for Baltimore. Jim Johnson apparently doesn't have the stones for playoff baseball.

What he said.
