Estee 55513 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-29-13, 12:47 PM (EST) "MLB postseason complaining thread" As a Mets fan, this feels unnatural. It borders on heresy and would have been on speaking terms with blasphemy, but that would have required turning south instead of west. I could never do it for the NFL or NHL equivalents. It's only a series of things which allow me to do it now. Regardless, go Pirates! Hoping for the three-way AL wild card tie. Not going to get it.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"Ump madness" Six umps on the field for the Rays-Rangers game, and they ALL miss a trap by Leonys Martin that even the broadcast team saw in real time.

"RE: MLB postseason complaining thread" I almost climbed in my car for the 3 hours to listen to Vin. The only thing I don't understand about that idea is why you didn't do it. My team's voice -- is gone. He came back for five minutes on Sunday as they closed out their time on WFAN and played a retrospective to suit, and it hurt. Your voice is still here.

"RE: MLB postseason complaining thread" LAST EDITED ON 10-04-13 AT 02:38 PM (EST) Trust me - I do everytime I can. Last night we had friends over watching the game, and I live near the mountains and the awful, weak, 14.5 watt radio station they use in LA doesn't get to me. I have to be in my car, really somewhere else. I suppose I need to look into if the station streams... >Issued by "Q" and RollDdice ETA looks like they do - should have thought of that before last night...   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: MLB postseason complaining thread" LAST EDITED ON 10-05-13 AT 06:00 PM (EST) Me, I got to listen to Vin while watching TBS (with about 6-7 second delay). By Game 2 they had tweaked the delay somewhat so it was only 3-4 seconds. Of course, listening to Vin is worth it. I would listen to him read the phone book (and he'd make it sound like the latest Pulizter Prize winner too). Another Agman masterpiece (2011)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: MLB postseason complaining thread" Another example of TBS's amaturish coverage is their few dozen times (spread over the various games) of broadcasting the wrong thing at the wrong time. As an example - Hanley Rameriez hit a triple tonight. As he was moving around second to third they cut to a shot of people cheering instead of what the base runner is doing in real time.

AyaK 10194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-07-13, 12:05 PM (EST) 8. "RE: MLB postseason complaining thread" Coverage of the Athletics-Tigers series has been good, except for Buck Martinez, who sounds like he's doing a different broadcast. But Don Orsillo and Dennis Eckersley have been great for TBS. Coverage of the Red Sox-(Devil) Rays series has been lacking by comparison. It sounds like the announcers are suffering from sleep deprivation. David Price tried to help them out in game 2 by putting the game further out of reach each time the Rays tried to come back.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The worst free-agent signing in terms of cost-to-production in MLB HISTORY hits two home runs to push the Dodgers through to the NLCS. In other news, cats and dogs have been spotted living together.

AyaK 10194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-10-13, 02:45 AM (EST) 15. "No" Well, the stat only discussed free agent signings. For example, here's one such article: http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/17704/crawfords-deal-worst-deal-ever As you can see, Crawford's deal returned a whopping 4.4% of value (0.9 to 20.3). But Bobby Bonilla's 1999 deal with the Mets is unquestionably the worst free-agent contract in MLB history -- returning 0.0% on investment (because Bonilla never played for the Mets under this contract) and inspired in large part by Mets owner Fred Wilpon's belief in Bernie Madoff's investment genius, as discussed in the following article: http://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/entertainment-articles/bobby-bonilla-baseball-contract/   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 10194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-09-13, 12:30 PM (EST) 13. "Red Sox through round 1" Game 4 was the type of Red Sox game I expected to see all year: a pitchers' duel, with the Red Sox's runs manufactured with little hitting. I expected the Sox to be a playoff team under John Farrell. What I didn't expect them to do was tear the cover off the ball on a regular basis. But they have -- at least until last night.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 10194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-10-13, 04:43 PM (EST) 16. "Bye, bye Pirates" I knew it was over for the Pirates in the . . . top of the sixth inning, when they pinch-hit for Gerrit Cole. Cole may have given up a two-run homer, but he's still the best young pitcher in baseball. Once he was gone, I was sure that the Cardinals would score more runs -- and so they did. In this case, the Pirates were playing "lazy" NL baseball, which can be summarized as follows: "See, we were behind and more than half the game was over, and so we needed to try everything we could to get a run. Unfortunately, the bullpen couldn't hold the Cardinals." All true, but it's designed to avoid being second-guessed; the best way to win was to ride Cole until he dropped. And so the freakin' Cardinals march on to the NLCS to face the Dodgers. It will be interesting to see if Michael Wacha is for real.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

PepeLePew13 24803 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-14-13, 09:14 AM (EST) 18. "RE: Through two games in round 2" The cynics (and there's a lot of them out there) would suggest that it's easy to buy the stuff that Papi's on - just call one of the people that were affiliated with BALCO or Biogenesis! But yeah... Papi has a long history of coming through in the clutch. Leyland overmanaged that inning, I'd say - I would have preferred to save Smyly for Papi rather than to use him earlier for Ellsbury when it was less critical of a situation then. Too bad Scherzer's gem got wasted - dude was really dealing.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: MLB postseason complaining compliment thread" As a devoted and true blue Dodger fan, I would like to thank the Cardinal fans for their genuine cheers for Skip Schumaker when he pinch-hit late in the game. More proof that Cardinal fans are among the classiest in all of professional sports. I wish them all the best against the junior circuit. Let's keep that title in the NL.

"RE: MLB postseason complaining compliment thread" The Cardinals are messing up my choices in my keeper league. I'm allowed to keep two rookies from 2013, and I was going to use those two choices on Gerrit Cole of the Pirates and Xander Bogaerts of the Red Sox. But, amazingly enough, I also own Michael Wacha of the Cardinals. Right now, I think Cole is a lock, and the Series will determine the choice between Bogaerts and Wacha.
