MLB Second Half Thread. 1

Glad they won't let pitchers cheat anymore. Nothing like the steroid era for the batters but it was getting ridiculous.
Covid year 2. I wonder if they will still let people go to games at full capacity. Was cool to see so many people returning in droves and missing it. Is so much more fun to go to a game with a good seat and view near the field and I have missed that in Denver.
Glad it wasn't in the stadium but does it really surprise anyone that at a Nats game in D.C. that there was a shooting outside of the ballpark and gunfire going off? It fits so well for D.C. Fans thinking it was someone possibly from above Vegas style shooting down on them when it was just regular D.C. outside of the stadium. That was great though seeing some of the players letting fans in the dugout for shelter while others were just trying to take cover by their seats and others just making a b-line to the concourse areas. There is a reason for the NBA they used to be called the Bullets and then changed it to the most stupid name in all of sports to the Wizards. Yeah, that fits D.C. really well. Nationals makes sense, Wizards, stupid.
On a lighter topic that made me laugh that the fan that threw a baseball into the back of a player from his outfield seat during a Red Sox-Yankees game is banned for life from all MLB stadiums. I've heard of being banned from one but from all of them? Wow.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/fan-who-threw-baseball-at-alex-verdugo-banned-for-life-from-all-mlb-ballparks/ar-AAMitlB?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531
No clue who will win it all but the Dodgers are the favorites. Hope it is any team besides them again. So tired of the BIG MARKET teams with 200 million plus payrolls ruling the game. Though I do enjoy seeing a game at Chavez Ravine. Has a great laid back Cali vibe to it. People show up in the 3rd inning and leave around the 7th or 8th inning. Is weird.
Anyone have favorite ballparks they like to go to? Also anyone think anyone has a chance to win a championship besides the Dodgers?

The A's aren't getting their San Fran like stadium on the waterfront after the vote today. That is by far the worst stadium I have seen a baseball game at. Poverty sucks. San Fran is fun. That area and COLLASIUM from Roman times isn't.
Once is enough seeing a game there. Had no desire to go back. Kind of like SF-Oakland is like North Side-South Side in Chicago. At least L.A. has two enjoyable stadiums and MVP man. Been to Candlestick and the Big A. Watch old highlights and it is, wow. How did they play on concrete turf for MLB and NFL back during the heyday of shit stadiums? Just like G.S. just move them out of that area.

"Known as the Indians since 1915, Cleveland's Major League Baseball team will next be called the Guardians."
Guardians of what? We wiped them out long ago. Sticking with Chief Wahoo. And yes I know they found it racially insensitive and remove that logo but it was not enough now was it? Jose Mesa forever in the one out away for a World Series Championship.
Chief Wahoo will live on. More importantly wish they would of won that world series.
Is amusing the record breaking temps, flooding, and droughts if there was at educated guess, 20-30 percent Native Americans keeping what they believed, they have always treated me well and introduced me to peyote, think their ways are better than what this world is now. DESTROY EVERY HABITAT AND WIPE OUT EVERY ANIMAL AND POLLUTE air, water and crops. Basically everything that supports and is needed for life.
But the Guardians. Great. Will change the world lol.
R.I.P Chief Wahoo. We, for the most part, will miss you.

U.S. going for the Gold. Just beat South Korea so 1 more. Wish they had MLB players on it but just win it. NBA will get their Gold soon as K.D. is starting to just take over games.
Is amusing to me that the U.S. won some bullshit trophy in football/soccer that had nothing to do with the Olympics as they weren't even good enough to make it into it. Goes with my theory of why Soccer is the main sport of the world especially with 3rd world countries. Just give me a soccer ball if I can afford it and dirt. Can't afford the gear for the Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey.
Just one more win.

God. Can the Yankees and Dodgers add anything more? Always comes back to the Expos and Pedro, Larry, and then money being thrown literally on the field during the strike. Think the Montreal would of won that year but drawn like 2 thousand fans to the World Series.
But seriously this is getting ridiculous for big market teams. Doesn't matter if you trade your best prospects. When developed through the Minor Leagues I mean small market teams just resign them. Is a joke.
As a Rockies fan giving Arenado away for a mediocre pitcher and paying the Cards 50 million to do so is a joke. Tired of this shit. And yes Tampa is doing OK and the A's but do they ever win championships or keeps their players when they lose and need the big contract? NOPE!
God, L.A. has stocked up on every good player money can buy.

Enjoyed the cornfield game and the Sox winning it that way. Was amusing how the outfielders were testing the fences and new stadium type designs they weren't used to. I just don't like the Yankees. Lose there, lose anywhere, doesn't matter to me.

Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer placed on administrative leave, extended, going into Watson territory of the Texans just in a different way but, shit. That made me laugh the joke about Watson finding a massage therapist.
Why did the Rockies keep Story and give 50 million to a HOF to the Cardinals? Not that story will but that is bad. Sign one to a massive contract and just dump him and here is 50 million. Stupid. People hate the ownership in Denver. Pot prices are reasonable though even if the baseball is shit.
Tegrity.

Riding the White Sox. And Red Sox are done. Tim Anderson made me laugh. Great player but that play, wow, that was bad.
On with it.
I don't care if soccer is more popular than the mlb. Just look at the fans going to games. Talk to them at sports bars and games. Is a wonderful thing. Could give a shit less about Minor League Football in the States.
Braves are killing it and with DeGrom gone, Mets are done.

Just the highlights. It was OK and yes the White Sox have the best record in the MLB. Just would of liked it without the fences and just the corn stalks in the outfield like the movie. Still it was a good show/production and seeing the players try like it was a normal MLB game was amusing in a good way.
Have seen Field of Dreams and Bull Durham many times and having Costner there, nostalgia but in a good way.
On with the season! Yankees are tearing it up now as our the Dodgers. Playing a simulator game on my laptop since I still can't buy a new PS, well I can and the Show but not paying a grand for it. And every year it is the Yankees against the Dodgers. Think payroll has something to do with that.
All this hype about the up and comers and then the trades and then the teams like L.A. and the Yanks just buy them back just makes it basically a 8 league MLB. Still what Tampa Bay has done in that shit stadium, and their record though I have never heard someone say, I want to go to the Trop! Is impressive and so is Oakland but they never win it all. Make the playoffs great.
Just glad to see Atlanta finally starting to do well. Am a Rockies fan. Never hope for us.

God. 8-0 over the Mets. San Fran. Hoping for a White Sox-Giants World Series matchup. And Sox won easily. Yankees are the wildcard. Dodgers can fuck off. They can have a complete all-star team which they do but please God no, not again.

I really hate that Mad Max is on the Dodgers and doing so well. It was like a shot in the arm for him going to this team as he grew bored with the Nats. Sucks because he is one pitcher I would go out of my way to watch and get a good ticket for but not pitching for the Dodgers.
Yanks are winning everything. If it is a Dodgers/Yankees matchup 
Seriously I wouldn't watch it unless it went to a game seven. On with the season.

Joey V. on the tReds. At 37 that is amazing.
Cubs and White Sox. Love how they are drawing fans and not the corporate seats. Sox got it first. Fuck off Cubbies I can watch a few highlights and it is horrid. Like watching a game where I live.
The playoffs should be interesting. Makes me laugh Javier and Francisco getting a hit and putting a thumbs down for the Mets after it because they play like shit.

San Fran. No one thinks they will win championships but they usually do half as much as the Yankees. Last 20 years. 8 Major League teams with payrolls and then the rest. Dodgers are always beatable in the playoffs. Don't care if they won during covid year. Don't think anyone much does.
This weekend is playoff matchup with a lot of teams. The extra wild card from a few years past just like the ads on the mound are worthless. Is amusing how every sports team is trying to make up for lost revenue. Last resort is requiring players to have corporate tattoos on them.
On with it.

With the Mets and Yankees game today made me laugh. The Face Syl going, as Stallone while looking and taking like like Stallone, "FROM THE DEPTH OF MY BEING, 9/11 didn't happen. Cut by a seal of the President a Biden sketch with face recognition plastering on a actor. That really made me laugh.
I think the Yanks pulled the game out. But both suck. God that was amusing. Laughed for quite a bit. It was comedy. Really, people fear all the wrong things.
On with tomorrows games.

Thinking White Sox/Dodgers. I get why Carlos wants out of Houston and why fans hate the Astros. He wants out because he is tired of hearing it endlessly about them stealing a championship.
For a person with any integrity. They take the money for winning it no problem there but that ring will never mean ANYTHING! Fuck Houston. May a hurricane flood and destroy it all.
Seriously though just a joke and best to them but the White Sox have been the most entertaining team to watch this year and the Dodgers and they stacked up for a heavyweight fight. Will see. Would be an entertaining series.
Would like San Fran but no, just don't see it happening though hope they beat out the Dodgers for the N.L. West title. Great to see Posey still has it and for any baseball fan you have to go to see them and that park and atmosphere/vibe. I think many San Fran's are the happiest people on earth. It is just fun. Denver Rockies is so different but it reflects the vibe of the city which isn't a bad thing. I love Coors.
Just hoping and betting and going during on/during Delta, why the fuck do they name it Corona and then Delta and both corps. are pissed about it which makes me laugh. You still have to make something of the end of Summer and beginning of Fall. Just not going to late games in October on the southside of Chicago. It sucks.

The White Sox are loaded with young talent, but the fans here are not that confident about the postseason. I would rather see this team led by Ozzy or somebody enthusiasm generating like him. Hiring LaRussa was just Reinsdorf trying to make up for a mistake he made 35 years ago.

Yeah. It kind of pissed me off when Tony old school turned the team against him for awhile because a batter crushed a home run when it was a blowout. He will be a Hall of Famer. Is strange already seeing him plastered on a wall in the outfield in St. Louis with Hall of Famers and he is still managing. He built a luxury animal shelter so I can't hate the guy.
Hope so much SF gets the N.L. West and the Dodgers lose the one game playoff. That is a game I would watch from beginning to finish. Hope S.D., which is a hope that most likely won't happen matches up with them and with Snell. Yes he has sucked lately but he deserves it after getting pulled when could of won a world series. And in one game is all about the pitchers.
Why is Posey and Longoria so good again? Who knows?
Tony having a bad night. Still makes me laugh seeing it. You can't pass out at the wheel at a stoplight lol. You will be noticed.

Dodgers are going to get the N.L. West. That really sucks. Even being born there I really hate L.A. Like San Fran so much better even with it's problems to go see a game and the vibe. Chavez I will go to an Angles game before going there again.
Almost playoff time and money to burn on a vacation and a good view of a game. Nothing like playoff atmosphere and soldout stadiums.

Holy shit. SF is up and beating the Friars. They are going to most likely be one game above .500 after this. Who blinks firsts, Giants or Dodgers? Cards are tearing it up and that one game and would love to see a 40 year old pitch against the Dodgers and the season he is having in a one game playoff and beat them. It is impressive.
Is so easy to make the playoffs now. I remember when the Giants in a season won 101 games and missed the playoffs. That still amazes me. This is getting fun. Bryant was such a great pickup and Crawford is an amazing player. Dodgers got Trea and that really sucks. Looking forward to see what happens in this race.
In the A.L., blah.

Go Giants. Lol. Sox win, TBurlocis Florida team wins both series and Giants and White not Red Sox in the World Series. But wishful thinking is great. God if I survive Vegas two years without a vacation I might go to Tampa Bay and the worst field in the Majors and get a world series ticket for 15 dollars. Reminds me of Montreal home attendance in their dying days before the strike when they could of won a championship with Pedro and Larry and so many others in their prime. Is to bad. Just endless Yankees. Fuck them and fuck Brandon Belt on San Fran the last week, I could care less Muncy.
JUST GIVE ME MORE BAUER VIDS TO READ ABOUT! Holy shit, yeah, he does seem like a psychopath on the field on in the bedroom.

I grew up going to the Stick and to the Coliseum. Once Oracle (formerly Pac-Bell then SBC then ATT Park) got built I mostly stopped going to games in Oakland. Although I did see one of the battle of the bay games there a few years back. I've always liked the A's as my secondary team, I think most Giants fans do, but for some reason A's fans think our rivalry is some huge deal and seem to hate us.
What a season. I was just stoked to have 162 games to listen to on the radio this year, had zero expectations for my Giants, neither did anyone in America. Projected to win 78 games (maybe less?). Best season in history. Posey came back on fire after his year off, Crawford playing like an MVP (definitely Gold Glove), Gausman and Webb both throwing heat, the addition of Kris Bryant, LaMont Wade Jr. and all his walk off hitS, Brandon Belt going on an insane hot streak before breaking his thumb... All so much fun to watch. Not gonna lie, I totally doubted Gabe Kapler and Farhan Zaidi, more thN happy to eat a big meal of crow on that one.
Giants-Dodgers faced off 19 times in regular season. Giants won the series 10-9. In one of the games Pujols hit what would have been a go-ahead homer in the 9th but was robbed by Mike Tauchman and the Giants held on to win. So, in essence, Mike Tauchman (who has since been released), is the difference between the Giants winning/losing the division.
First time in history for an Giants-Dodgers postseason series. Best rivalry in sports. This shits about to be lit. Let's fucking go.

Yeah. Especially in a short series. Rockies are my team but have been to San Fran a lot in my life and saw Bumgardner in his prime and it was almost a reverence when he pitched in the stadium and then the next day was just whatever. What a good pitcher can do and he was left to die in the desert of Arizona.
To see all those statues and championship banners is amazing, one of my favorite parks. And the people, amazing. Chavez Ravine is such a different story. It has it perks and L.A. has warm beaches, not now of course but was born there and is so laid back. That is the rivalry S.F. and L.A. Not Oakland. Hope they get a new stadium built and a decent payroll. I didn't know that L.A. and S.F. have never met in the playoffs. I hope S.F. wins but don't think it will happen.
Glad to see Tampa Bay beat the Red Sox game 1 when everyone who follows baseball and the Yankees against the Bosox and little Tampa blows them out with their shitty stadium and shitty crowd like a Triple AAA team. Keep developing those players for teams with payrolls and once in awhile, you get their best prospects and a chance for a championship. Really wouldn't care if they won it all.
Someone predicted that it will be an Astros-Dodgers World Series. If that happens I won't watch one game and just the highlights in the deciding game to see if the Astros cheated in some way again. Can see why their second best player wants out of there and won't resign. Players get tired of people throwing plastic garbage blow up bags onto the field and all the signs. Reminds me of going to Coors in Denver when Bonds played and bought a ticket in left field. Everyone had these massive blowup syringes and signs and constantly yelling at him.
I hope S.F. gets at least gets it to a game 5 deciding game, will see. Reading the L.A. Times and it saying, this damn playoff game against the Cards and they made a game of it. This will take a bit longer.

Brew Crew no one paid attention to them all year but maybe they will surprise as well. Yeah. Always remember my late father taking to \so games as with his job he travelled everywhere and racked up the frequent flyer miles before the airlines got stingy. Good memories and buying me a team I hate now but at the time in a playoff atmosphere at chavez ravine and sold out.
That will be a memory that doesn't go away. And if I have a kid in time, no offense to your daughter, I hope is a male. Have seen my brother have four kids and first three were female and he just wanted one, just one, male though they swore they would never have another kid. But they did and it was a male.

My mom tried for a girl but got twins first time pregnant which I am one and three other males and gave up on a daughter.
Point being no one can really predict the future. No one saw Covid/Delta extention coming. On with life. Is great to see people packed in stadiums again. Not the same as watching on a t.v. with no crowd or limited seating. Love it.

Boooo Lynn and the White Sox, Booooo! That was a horrid game. I hate the Astros. Really, the only team I actually despise because of their cheating ways. Their is cheating and then their is the so many ways the Astros cheat it is amazing. Will be in Vegas soon. Still, if one bets on the Astros is it like being a cheater with no integrity? Whatever. Not doing it. Is great though to finally have a vacation since covid hit. Puts me in a real good mood.
Thinking the Dodgers beat San Fran. Interesting series.

Crazy how many people seem to give the Astros a pass but still hate on the Barry. He's the GOAT no matter what they say.
Also funny how the national narrative always follows the same teams every year. People doubt the Giants because nobody outside the west coast is watching them play. How is Tatis an MVP candidate over Brandon Crawford? Is MVP offense only? Because dude is mediocre at SS. Crawford easily the best SS in the league and is having a great offensive year on a WINNING team. Giants fans know, other players know.
Doyers going down.

I get your point. Crawford hitting and and seeing some highlights of his defense is a joy to watch. Like when Machado called him out Tatis is all about me and no team. San Fran is like a well oiled machine with team chemistry. Padres were not and imploded.
Bonds, will never be in the hall of fame but like a previous post I paid to go see him but was there more to see him close up. Didn't expect that so many fans would be there just endlessly taunting him and all that shit. Why go to a ball game that is supposed to be enjoyable and spend that time just heckling someone? It got boring quick.
Anyway, Brew Crew time, they are going to destroy today shortly. Like this team. Strange how a small market team can be overlooked which is normal but San Fran everything is about the Dodgers with the news. It is not like San Francisco is a small market team. But to the Brewers game coming up that I am going to enjoy watching, Colbert made me laugh, they are named the Brewers for a reason. 
Hope S.F. wins the short series and Bauer shuts the fuck up.
Yes, am bored waiting for the game. Little known fact, Milwaukee has the most bars of any city in the United States. Lol, what else are you going to do there? Amazing the Bucks actually won a championship. Drinking, bars, and sports. Still Milwaukee really isn't in the top tier of travel destinations.
This is going to be an enjoyable day and Braun is gone and, everyone outside of Milwaukee hates the guy which made me laugh for his lying. Can't be easy running in one of those hotdog body costumes.

Time for the Brewers of Beer city to wipe out Atlanta as it is just starting. Goodbye Freddie. I want to be a Brave for life. Well, Ted doesn't want to pay you like Chipper and educated guess, won't be a Brave next year.
Think the Braves win one out of the series. Just great to see the Brewers instead of the Cubs playing.

Hall of Famer. Was wonderful seeing the Dodgers get shut out and the energy of the fans. Love that park and fans. L.A. is so different at Chavez, people from the games I go to are laughing and having fun, L.A. is has this reserved quality about it like one sitting on a beach and looking at the ocean but it is a team. That was a great start for San Fran and the Webb. Almost 8 innings of scoreless baseball thrown. Liked how the ball bounced off and into the ocean from Posey.
God, the fucking Rays and White Sox. Both teams are pretenders. Brewers won which I knew they would but just by a run. Win is a win. In a best of five every game is important so Giants, please win game two.
Watching it want to be there but already made vacation plans. Next year. And of course Crawford homered.

Wow, after the fast start Astros up 2-0 in the series put in garbage. Glad I was wrong. And hopefully be wrong the next two games. Does anyone watch Astros games and wonder if they have buzzers in their uniforms or can still get away with using video technology to know what pitch is coming? Still love that. Inflatable garbage bins being thrown on the field and the meaning of it, they are trash.
I despise playing the MLB that way. And I grew up in the steroid era.
San Fran and Dodgers series is getting interesting. Please Giants for the love of God win in L.A.

The keyboard critics were roasting Longoria over the last couple days, and before tonight's game Kapler spoke at length about why he has full faith in Longo and why he will continue to start. And sure enough he scores the only run of the night.
Crawford is the best SS in the league, but we already knew that.

Yes, that leap to save the 1-0 game against Mad Max with two outs, win tonight S.F. or is all is for not. Astros-Dodgers W.S. People picking that at the beginning of the playoffs. If that happens, blah. Cheaters and the payroll that knows no limits.
Should be a good game today. Hopefully.
That was great though first game but 7 game series, put up that many runs against the Astros a team will win most of the time. Wasn't a blowout of course. Set on this game come up in not to long.
God, lose Clayton, no big deal, we got Trea and Max! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Fuck L.A., Just like the possibility of them becoming the Yankees again of the West and that run before they had to pay off all their contacts to their HOF's but Red Sox are surprising. Yet still Astros/Red Sox, don't care. On to a game that is actually interesting as a fan of the game.

I love 5 game series. And the decision as a baseball fan since we just have AAA ball where I live am a Rockies fan. Take a bus at midnight and wake up in Denver and Coors is a great field.
Seeing some San Fran games in San Fran, I though, this is how it should be with the statues and championships being displayed. Don't get me wrong, Denver has a great vibe as well but San Fran 3 times there is special.
Watched the game and of course a one run game again. Was brilliant to bring in Max in the 9th. Half man, half wolf. Think he morphs. Seriously though they needed Belt and on with teams I could give a shit less about.
I have been to many ballparks. Still, like Cinci I see no reason to see shitty ballparks. Those people, is America have no judgement, but like it is a major accomplishment to see every one of them, no for me.
San Fran is back to shit. Literally, all over the streets. The kids book of why people poop or pee or something like that. Well, make one for adults there. Not going to rip on them, just following it for so long and getting that home field advantage and not having to play the Cards in a one game playoff and then losing at home in that fashion in the best of five. Yeah, it is frustrating.

That is the thing. A grand is nothing in L.A. People show up at the 3rd and leave in the 7th. Just the way it is and in a game as important as this I saw the highlights in Vegas and it didn't surprise me one bit.
But holy shit that high fastball and turning on it. That was impressive.
Fuck the cheaters and the big markets and fuck the 200 plus payroll teams and fuck this world series to be. Getting tired of it.

Should be thrilling though glad they won. 4-0 to 3-1 but really glad to see them in the World Series. Grew up on TBS and WGN and the Cubs/Sox. Hope they win it all but they beat the Dodgers.
Whatever, give the the Astros a series and some entertaining baseball. Get Freeman a ring. He deserves one without cheating and no PTSD's. And a quality individual. All will be righted in the MLB world.

That was a great play. At least he didn't hit a walk off to reveal his magic buzzer again under his uniform but have to give it up for creativity in the world of cheats. for that celebration years ago. They had the talent to win it without cheating but it is going to take a long time for fans to forgive them.
At least with the steroid era many from every team was using them.
Astros and that level of cheating is on a whole different level and I don't blame Carlos. Would I want to play games on the road hearing that year after year and inflated garbage cans thrown on the field?
Astros will win game two without cheating, don't worry to much about the first game. No Morton, that is a big problem. Yankees were close long ago but didn't have the tech expertise to pull it off.

6-0. Whew, not looking good in the 5th. C'mon Braves, this is so much different than that Grand Slam in the first last game. God, that Solar shot was a moonbeam out of the stadium. Astros had their chance in the first with two on after the error but with the Braves relievers there is no way Astros are getting this one.
Early congrats Braves.

To explain it I hated their cheating as do many fans of the sport, and I have a grudge when they beat the Jazz in SLC with the Rockets in game 5 when Jordan was in baseball before he ruined them but clutch city, always down but always win with the Rockets.. Played the Lakers with two. How the Lakers are favorites to win it all, do not know.
That was the Jazz and their year against the Knicks. Didn't happen of course.
I like sports fans, really don't get the Texans and what they do with their players and how it is run, but still, don't take anything personally. Your hometown teams have a lot of championships.
God their was a grown woman they kept cutting back to shedding tears. Stepdad just died, bit more important to me. And that was the night after I posted all of this shit. Good man. Does anyone think when we die we are going to give a shit about sports? Or even among the living if massive wildfires, flooding, record temps and so on and so forth. Wow, That starting pitcher for the Braves after two shit starts really had it going for six innings. God, perspective.
Would put a hug emoji after that shutout but am to lazy to find it. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIEND! Welll, couldn't beat AIDS, if it was later and had Magic Johnson type money, maybe could have, who knows. Life is strange.
Time to listen to Queen. Lol. Sports is just fun and entertainment but means a lot to a lot of people and nothing to a lot of people. I enjoy it.
On with it.

Always things to look forward to. A speech to the family. I know it is a wedding but won't go fucked up. But laughter and comedy is my thing, like the joy buzzer and Altuve, horrid joke.
And go Rockies next year, lol. Don't let Trever walk. Pay the man.

Best to Posey and his retirement. Not easy being a catcher and was because of the pain he said and family. Was a great season to go out with. Best to him and his championship rings. He has nothing more to prove. Was enjoyable watching him play, catcher is tough and he did it well. Wonder if he will be a Hall of Famer. Time will tell.

Good-bye Carlos, my Latino sex symbol with such quick hands. Lol. Jam those pearls up his ass like anal beads. Fuck the Astros. I would could tired of it to having to go to every game with garbage blowups bins thrown on the field and East Coast fans can be especially brutal with their chants and are not the nicest of fans of the sport.
On to free agent season. Should be interesting.

Barnaby said: Best to Posey and his retirement. Not easy being a catcher and was because of the pain he said and family. Was a great season to go out with. Best to him and his championship rings. He has nothing more to prove. Was enjoyable watching him play, catcher is tough and he did it well. Wonder if he will be a Hall of Famer. Time will tell.
Posey is the best ever to play in San Francisco. Yes, better than Bonds and all the other legends before him. When he got called up in mid 2010 the franchise changed forever. Dude had a 21 game hit streak and Giants won 19 of those games (I'm going off memory here so I could be slightly wrong about that). The rest is fucking history. ROTY, batting titles, MVP, gold glove, THREE CHAMPIONSHIPS, multiple no hitters, perfect game, etc etc... Saw a stat that he had like 27 passed balls total in over 1000 games played. That's significantly less than Yadi who everyone worships.
Also hear a lot of stories from teammates about how awesome of a dude he is. When Brian Wilson struck out the last batter of the 2010 world series the first thing Buster did is put the ball in his back pocket so he could give it to Brian later. When Ryan Vogelsong was 32 and trying to earn his spot in spring training Buster, without being asked, took it upon himself to call the game like it was October just so Ryan could look good. That might sound like nothing but trust me most catchers ain't doing that.
This one is tough for me. I've never actually cared about a player retiring before, but this one feels like an unexpected breakup. Gonna miss that dude a lot, I hope he decides to come back and manage when his children are grown.
Been hearing about young Joey Bart for what feels like a lot of years now, let's see if he's ready to answer the call.

Congrats Shohei Ohtani and his MVP. May your career not be wasted like Trout is with the Angels.

I don't think that was the question to the answer to the MVP.
Lol. I can't go see Mays and his over the head grab which is really the only highlight I ever see of him. Like Hammering Hank and that clip of him belting that one out which was great. But I can go see him. And the Giants have won a lot of championships. Angles do again, been a really and I mean really long time best to them.
You have a point, you always have with your posts just, glad he got it. And if Trout isn't beaten down like a mule and they play together next year. On to L.A. to see a game.
Glad the Giants resigned Belt. Really, last week of the season and a season ending injury. That was bad.
White Sox are favored in their division next year. So their is that.

I don't think Hank ever took steroids. That is pure athletism. You seem like a guy that would. Just sayin. Lol. Life is good. Covid is spreading again but one great Vegas vacation and winning two in a row at the sports book. My world is great.
Just great to see athletes before the steroid era. Bonds, this scrawny as shit fuck and then bulb head. Glad they got their championships past the cheaters and fuck the Astros and Verlander who they resigned but I guess Detroit would be worse and am glad the Angles won that one, so long ago.
Guy smoked pot and died so cheating in a way, I guess. Pitcher and everyone mourned him. But, smoking pot in your Hotel room while in the season, shame. But he died, no shame. Pot causes death, lol.
Bonds and I hate seeing Alex Roids announcing on t.v. Clemens for the HOF no. Not going to happen.
Dusty Baker seems like a man of endless sorrow.

Well your team got a ring even when cheating at a level that was at the highest level in MLB history. Maybe if my Rockies used it they could of won it all. Instead of getting swept on Blake Street 4-0. Like the Astros did before that level of cheating was available.
Talking heads on the t.v. say Freddie from the Braves is going to Montreal, uggh, I mean the Yankees. Would be throwing coins and cash on the field as well. Salary caps are great and learned lean Ted Turner sold his Braves because I was wondering why he wasn't there. Thought he was in a bed in a coma or something but no to a private corp. Hope they can match the Yankees.
Freeman wants to be a Brave for life but money talks and bullshit is just bullshit. Enjoy that ring Freddie, well deserved.
