Well 45000 Blue Jays tickets just sold out in less than 1 minute, that was pretty rediculous. But it just goes to show how pumped we are here.

Who do you like this season? Blue Jays are World Series favorites ;)

I am so frustrated with the downright inability of other teams to beat Texas when I need them too.

3 straight walkoff wins over the god damn angels who are the most useless team ever, and then Arizona continues showing why the NL west is pathetic as hell.

Giants are on a winning streak. Romo comes in and makes a very tough save! (0 outs bases loaded)

he needs to leave the mariners. He deserves a better team around him.

Though really...they gave him hits and run support tonight. Not often you see a 6 run game winning comeback in the bottom of the 9th.


Also Red Sox...2 walkoff wins in the same day without playing a double header. Nice

You know it's cool and all that the Pirates are doing phenomenal this season, but I can't get a god damn seat in the stadium to save my life. I've gone to three games so far but the past couple seasons I usually get to go to 5 or 6 and being from Ohio that's not bad.

Ryan Dempster suspended 5 games and $2500 for "allegedly" throwing at AROD.

Because Dempster is a starter, he misses a start and that's it. Because of off days, other starters still get full rest. Win/win.

____

IMHO any player thrown at twice in an at bat should charge the mound. It says something that AROD didn't or should I say "couldn't" charge.

As a hockey fan, I have no issue with dempster throwing at AROD.

it was kindof pussy. he cant get hit back. and the stupid ump should have thrown him out right away, all he did was disable the yankees from retaliating like they should be allowed to.
fucking red sox are the shittiest fuckers around

Have to say I disagree, if there's a pussy in the situation it's either the ump or Girardi. I thought it was fantastic that Dempster threw at ARod, he's the biggest scumbag in the MLB (maybe only 2nd to Braun) and shouldn't be playing right now. Dempster should've been tossed right away, but the ump either didn't have the stomach or enjoyed it himself, or a bit of both. Joe Girardi came up with these weak "what if that was your kid" arguments, and whined to the MLB that Dempster needs a suspension after the fact. How can one bitch about someone getting suspended 5 games when he's playing ARod each and every day? Hypocrisy.

Yes A-Rod is a scumbag but he has every right to play. The players union agreed that during the time of a first offenders appeal the player may play

He shouldn't be considered a first time offender though. I understand why he is, since his previous PED use with the Rangers was before the rules were set into place, it just seems wrong to me that he can play by appealing his suspension and make a difference for his team.

According to MLB, he sure does. But because MLB says he can play, does everyone have to be happy about it? No.

As a citizen of whatever country you're from are you content with everything that your government does/stands for/believes in? Probably not.

Dempster doesn't have to agree with everything the MLB union decides because he is a MLB player. A lot of people aren't stoked that AROD is playing and Dempster took it into his own hands. He got slapped on the wrist for it which basically is what MLB had to do.

There is nothing pussy about what dempster did and he's not a hero for it either. He basically just told some guy to go fuck off because he didn't like what he was standing for.

Do you think a lot of yankees are stoked that AROD is playing? He's a great player yeah, but right now there is so much baggage on him that I wouldn't want him anywhere near my clubhouse.

Red Sox 5.5 games ahead in the AL East going into September...never thought I'd see that this year. And just took 2/3 against Detroit, including one against one of the best pitchers in the league, and an absolute blowout last night. I think this Red Sox team might be for real...


I just wish the NL had some tighter pennant races. There are some great teams there, but apart from Central division it's a case of domination across the board.

the Yankees aren't going to do shit... Either way, Texas/Oak or TB/Baltimore will take them out, for sure.

Also, what the fuck is with Oakland not being able to beat the fucking weakest teams all of a sudden... 8-10 against Texas, TB, and Detroit, but being shut down by the 'Stros? Bullshit.

Was wearing my old Eric Chavez shirt today. Good job in breaking up that no-hitter, for sure.


Andddd finally all alone in First. Hopefully the A's can capitalize on this relatively soft remainder of the season. Win em all.

They're 2.5 games out of a very wide open wild card race. I'd hardly call them done.

it was a whole different level of crazy fun.

A lot of great people in that organization, from the top on down to the bottom.

Also at one point I had my own bottle of playoff champagne. Impossible to realize how cool that feels.

I love seeing all the angry texas fans in the twitter and blogosphere. Making fun of the A's stadium issues? How about win something, and then talk shit.

Until then, have fun in Oakland's wake, bitch.
