Re: MLB Off-Topic

Aren't Onion articles already fake?

Yes, I mean I'm not an author for the site and I didn't publish it. I made it for a friend, we would exchange them time to time. I think I posted it on here in fact.

Here's an awesome shot that shows how close the OF corners were at the Polo Grounds.

Matt Cain is retiring. Threw the only perfect game in Giants history.

He was a horse in it's prime, but it's time for him to hang up the saddle.

Great Giant.

Interesting article on Lincecum...doesn't surprise me that he's gone dark. I miss having him in the game. I'll be honest, I took him for granted...expected we'd see him dominate for a decade or more. It's a shame he broke down.

I posted that about 5 pages back...definitely an interesting read.

Sad to see Matt Cain call it a career...it feels like it's too early as I remember when he had just come up. Cain always seemed to get the short end of the stick in the run support department. It was fun to watch him pitch...

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Last I heard, Lincecum was actually trying to mount yet another comeback. Yes, even after the Angels disaster. Where at? I have no idea, maybe the Himalayas.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Actually I came here to post an opinion question of what you guys think of what is seemingly more "chuminess" being shown between opposing players? Baseball's rivalries seemed to have cooled down in this era it would seem. Saw the Lincecum post and relatedy he was a guy that I think got under opposing players' skin.

Are teams generally too chumy with each other?

I think we need some more people to get beaned in the head to show they're serious about it.

Seriously though, I don't worry about chuminess as long as the teams continue to try to beat each other in the score column. It really is a fraternity of guys that have a lot in common. But, yeah, I will take an occasional beanball war or charging of the mound every now and again, too.

at least they won't have to put him down

Yeah, that gets pretty messy

He was definitely a stable arm in that lineup.

His wife might not be very pleased if they just put him out to stud, though. That could turn out like wet hay in the barn.

Spoiler

Best they could ever do was restrict him in the pen.

In other news, I heard a great number on the radio that I have no ability to either recover or rehear, but it was something like Cain had 112 career winless quality starts, and in those starts posting a sub-3.00 ERA (maybe in the 2.60 area?) and a sub-1.00 WHIP, like 0.80 or something.
