2016 Major League Baseball Thread: The Final Insult

[The Incredible Hulk]

So uh baseball season started yesterday (in case you didn't notice) with 3 games. Today things really "officially" get going with 12 games.

Discuss how the Royals are just going to register the next 6 months null and void for all 29 other teams....

 

[Dr. Evil]

Yes, it's that time of year again:

If anyone was wondering why there were 2 guys dressed like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles behind home plate at today's Yankees game, it was John Oliver f***ing with the Yankees.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Ironically enough you can actually sing "Yankees are a bunch of *****ebags" to the tune of the old TMNT cartoon...

 

[Rowsdower!]

Love seeing my Buccos kick the living sh** out of the Cardinals to start the season.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

The Padres may never score a run. Ever.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Even year.

 

[Duke]

Brings a smile to my face that we took the series from the Dodgers & walloped them!!!

 

[SuperBatman]

I know it's early but are the braves really this bad this year there about to go 0-10.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Yes, the Braves are bad. REALLY bad. (sorry 'Fire )

 

[Immortalfire]

I knew they were going to be bad this year, but they are damn bad.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Dee Gordon suspended 80 games for PED's.


So he tested positive in Spring Training and was able to play 21 games?

I agree with Verlander. If you test positive for PED's, you shouldn't be on the field.

My opinion has always been if you test positive,(any sport) it should be a lifetime ban.

 

[runawayboulder]

Yeah, he should have never played. The Marlins shouldn't be on the hook for his salary either. MLB is the second worst run league behind the NFL. A lot of stuff they do makes no sense.

 

[Reek]

This doesn't really belong here... but goddamn it is funny...

Tagged his ass lovely. This might be one of the best punches I've ever seen in baseball.

 

[terry78]

That is a classic one for the books. Knocked the shades off and everything.

 

[Duke]

Niiiiiiice to see my SF GIANTS sweep a diviional rival. In this case it's the Arizona Garden Snakes.

Braves have canned Fredi as if the team is now magically going to improve

The Braves literally need to take a timeout & just come to grips that they're in rebuild mode which will take time & patience. No hiring or firing of a manager will magically "right the ship" immediately, takes time.

 

[Duke]

GIANTS take 2 out of 3 from the Cubbies. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessss!!!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Did anyone hear about what happened at O.Co in Oakland?

 

[Duke]

Nice streak my GIANTS are on!!!



Too bad it comes to an end with inept Jake Peavy pitching tonight.

 

[runawayboulder]

The Yankees are looking less inept and ancient as well.

 

[Duke]

I knew they were going to be bad this year, but they are damn bad.

Don't feel bad Fire, at least you'll have the Twinkies who are also bottom dwellers this year too.

Carl Crawford designated for assignment by the Dodgers
