I hate anybody who says they hate baseball.

Seriously, your MOTHERS.

lol I wouldn't go that far, I mean I enjoy baseball and all but I wouldn't want someone to hate me because I'm not into cricket

To each their own

Angels win again in Dodgers stadium to take 2 out of 3 from the Dodger and remain just 3 1/2 games back of Texas.

Angels are now 52-37 vs. the Dodgers in interleague play and and 11-4 vs. the Dodgers in the last 3 seasons.

Got the Dbacks at home next. I just can't get a handle on Arizona.

Yup, its pretty much to a point where I just think Anaheim is going to take 2 out of 3 every time.

Just pissed it was Aybar this time. Ugh.

Who would have thought Callaspo and Aybar would power the Angels to a win?

Chris Davis hit a broken bat home run against Pittsburgh tonight...one of the more impressive things I've seen. Guy is insanely strong.

Yup. Aybar made up for it big with that GIDP he had early in the game with the bases loaded. Oh well, I was hoping we would steal a game against the Angels there but CJ Wilson is pretty good.

Good matchup Friday night, Clayton Kershaw vs Chris Sale. A chance to look at 2 of the best young left handed pitchers in the game at Dodger Stadium.

Now, do you want to listen to Hawk or Vin? Decisions, decisions.

Congrats to Cain!

I saw the article on ESPN about how this might be the best pitching performance ever.

And it got me thinking about all the amazing pitching performances, and I gotta say Kerry Wood's dominance of a very good Astros team has to be #1. I mean, Biggio is already a lock for the HOF, IMO Bagwell should be, plus you got good players in Derek Bell and Moises Alou.
20 K's against that lineup, giving up 1 hit and 1 HBP.

Kudos to Matt Cain. Woke up this morning seeing that, very nice. How nice were the catches that were made to save it?

Re: 6/11 - 6/17 Game Discussion Thread

I heard Cain had that going in the 7th, but ended up falling asleep last night. Check this morning to see - congrats to Cain on the per- OH MY GOD, WHERE DO I BUY THIS?! http://deadspin.com/5918360/a-man-fl...ame-last-night

By chance was anyone watching the Astros/Giants game just now? Tell me I wasn't the only one here seeing the water-powered jetpack guy was I? This was amazingly funny and ridiculous!

The great thing about baseball is that if you watch enough baseball, you'll see something you've never seen before.

Today is one of those days.

Nice...you put the picture to my previous words. Hilarious stuff that was seeing live.

I started watching the SF game (after seeing a game there last yr I just love watching their broadcasts), but popped in MLB2K after the 2nd inning and never looked back....

Didn't realize Cain threw a perfect game until 7 this morning.

Well, that'll teach me to not read the thread all the way through. Still, I want one.

Damn, I was supposed to be back home around midnight but didn't get back til later. I wish I had now, that was an amazing performance by Cain.

I was surprised the Tigers won last night after they got down early against the Cubs. I know they suck, but after the Tigers got down early I thought for sure it was over. Hopefully Verlander can keep it going today, they need to start winning games consistently.

He needs to go to every Cain start now.

Congrats to Cain. I couldn't move from my seat the entire time.

Re: 6/11 - 6/17 Game Discussion Thread

Votto just crushed that ball to give the Reds a 3-2 lead in the first. We'd be seeing a lot of that if runners were able to get on ahead of him.
