Re: MLB Off-Topic

As with other sports, I have no second team. Just the Astros.

NFL Steelers
NHL Penguins
NCAAF Irish
EPL Chelsea

I haven't cared to watch the NBA in 20 years but I was always a Rockets fan when I did.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I don't really have a 2nd favorite team as it can change every so often but the last couple seasons i've been on the Brewers bandwagon. I suppose if that fascination with the Brew Crew dies and if AA is still there i'll be rooting for the Braves.


Anyways, here's what the Buffalo Bisons will be wearing for their Sunday home games this season:

They're GORGEOUS. I need to find that cap and buy me one.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Currently I don't have a 2nd team I would even bother with.

All time though, those mid 00s Red Sox I loved watching. Liked them even before winning the WS. Loved watching Pedro,Manny,Ortiz. And just so happened that they were the defending WS champs going into the release of MVP Baseball 2005 which just made things even better.

If MLBN ever airs some special feature on 04 Red Sox, I wanna watch it. Closest I've seen recently is a recap of the 2004 MLB season as a whole.

Yep there was a 30 minute special on the ALCS, iirc. Also the Red Sox made a DVD about the entire season that was pretty good.

I also have the collector's DVD set that has all 7 games of the ALCS and all 4 World Series games lol.

I have a few "side bitches" as you guys know. Yankees, Angels, Giants for the most part. But I'm cool with plenty of teams.

You left off the Dodgers...we all know they are your true team.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Nobody comes close to the Braves for me.

I like the Pirates since I have family in/from Pittsburgh and PNC is my favorite ballpark. I have a soft spot for the Indians since I rolled them with them on MLB years ago. I don’t mind the Giants/A’s since I lived out there a long time ago.

I don’t really consider myself a fan of any of those teams though.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Was watching some playoff games from 2013...man, that was a great post-season, especially the ALCS. A lot of interesting twists/turns that year...

2013 couldn't have turned out better if it was written by the best writers.

Finishing last in the East in 2012 to the horrible tragedy at the Marathon, to coming together and winning the World Series.

I never actively cheer for anything bad like that to happen, but I love the stories because it shows how good a city and it's people can truly be. Boston in 2013, Houston this year after the flood, almost New York in 2001.

And this moment in the World Series that makes me tear up every single time I watch it.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

MLB has declared Miguel Sano NOT GUILTY. You Twins fans can rest a little easier.

After interviewing more than 20 people -- including Bissen and Sano -- and reviewing documents including communication records, the commissioner's office "found that there was insufficient evidence to support a disciplinary determination against Sanó, due to conflicting and inconsistent witness accounts and the absence of contemporaneous substantiation."

From: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/2...ult-allegation

I thought her story sounded wonky to me, personally.

Hey man, but he didn't "intentionally consume this steroid." Give him a break. He ordered the #1 at McDonalds and they gave him SteroidBurger instead of Big Mac. Could happen to anyone.

Big Mac should be code word for steroid burger

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I haven't been able to find anything on this, so maybe someone here has some knowledge to share. We have all read/heard about the new "pace of play" changes, particularly the limiting of mound visits to 6, including visits from infielders. Now, what I'm wondering is what is the penalty if a player violates the rule?

For example, let's say it's the 9th inning of a tie game and a team has used up its 6 visits...the 3B runs in to the pitchers mound to clarify something and the umpires call him out on it. Okay...now what? I can't find anything that lists the penalties for this. Does a batter each base? Is there an automatic ball called? Is the player assessed a fine? It's weird to put out "here's the rule" without "here's what happens if you break the rule".
