??? 2nd best team in baseball, bro!

 

The Indians were arguably that team.

[KingKat]

The Dogers looked unbeatable in their two previous series but I guess recency bias and quality of previous opponents skewed my view of how the World Series teams matched up. I'm glad the Astros are doing so well but now I'm worried that it might be a short series going the other way, lol. Since I don't have a huge rooting interest, I hope the Dodgers win tonight so that we're guaranteed at least 6 games.

[Boxcar]

Welp...

Well, Darvish doesn't care, Gurriel said sorry and gave his reasons but cue the onslaught of enraged white people.

It's unacceptable. If it was some sort of homophobic gesture, for example, we'd be (rightly) hearing about suspensions. Gurriel is a f***ing idiot.

Like when Josh Donaldson made a gesture and said "f*** you suck my cock"

 

He shouldn't have done it, he apologized and that should be the end of it as far as I'm concerned.

[G-Snarls]

At least that wasn't racially offensive

Oh great here come the sjws.

 

Keep fighting the good fight, or something.

[Boxcar]

Yup, that's exactly what I mean.

[Boxcar]

Also, Gurriel should have just said he was rubbing his temples or something, it barely registers as an offensive move.

[Boxcar]

Posting an opinion means you're enraged?

 

You must see red 24/7.

 

I guess the disease you contracted when Trump was elected robbed you of the ability to analyze words. I shouldn't be surprised, but you continue to impress.

[Boxcar]

Right to irrelevant insults, did you take a blow to the head or something?

 

Back to the topic, was it the nasty word f*** that conveyed their rage to you, master of analysis?

 

I'm not a master of analysis, just someone who hasn't completely lost their mind.

 

I'll try to walk you through it. The comparison to a homophobic slur implies that the league should be looking at suspending Gurriel...in an incident where the supposed victim didn't take offense and an apology was issued. That would indicate that the person in question here would be upset by this entire incident. The addition of "Gurriel is a f***ing idiot" simply confirms the status of being upset on Darvish's behalf.

[Boxcar]

No I disagree, I feel it's just as bad and a similar example should be set.

 

Regardless of how Yu chose to not make a big deal of it, during the WS because of course, a bunch of kids don't need to see that garbage.

 

People have differing opinions on things that you need to respect, I'm not sure how you never learned that lesson.

 

I don't "need" to do anything. It's my opinion that people who are not involved in the offense, at all, in any way, should not take offense on behalf of the victim when he clearly doesn't care.

 

Respect it or you're a bigot.

[King]

I come on this board for the first time in nearly a week, and I see the board filled with casino spam. Silvergun and Boxy engaging in another dick slapping contest.

 

Sad what this place has devolved into!

[Terminator]

TO media predictably throwing a fit over Gurriel not being suspended for the WS games.

 

 

5 games seems pretty harsh to me but thank god they had the sense not to suspend him during the WS. Geezus

 

I think a fine or maybe two games next year would be more appropriate.

[Inklink]

Oh great here come the sjws.

 

Keep fighting the good fight, or something.

 

What's sjw about this? Unless you don't see anything wrong with what Gurriel did I guess?

 

Anyway, Gurriel suspended 5 games, but next season. Manfred's logic didn't make sense to me, but whatever.

[Terminator]

It truly is king, I didn't want any of this

 

Lmao

[Boxcar]

Lmao

 

I know. He might be the biggest hypocrite I've ever seen.

[Terminator]

*Claims he doesn't want to start any drama.

*Is also a huge drama queen.

[thatoneguy]

lol f*** off

[Jimcanuck]

Manfred doesnt give a s*** about the gesture.

 

What he gives a s*** about is the potential to lose fans if that type of s*** goes unpunished.

[Stangstag]

I can’t believe how many times Buck just said the name Lyle Overbay and didn’t catch his mistake. (He meant the missed HPB on Chisenhal in the ALDS)

[Omar]

This is as close to a must win as you can get for LA. I want to see the Astros win it all but would prefer a longer series if for nothing else to reduce my baseball withdrawal depression when the season ends.

 

On another note, why is Laz Diaz calling a WS game?

[John_Havok]

Cuz mlb is racist and won't let Angel Hernandez do it.... duh

[John_Havok]

Ditto in Hollywood over that Weinstein stuff. There's only outrage because the public found out, Hollywood knew it for years and years and years and did nothing, and no women ever came forward until it was out

[Yippy]

The gurriel incident has killed the momentum Astros had

[Spanky99]

Well pitched game, me likey!

[Spanky99]

Mid 90's with a lot of sink, that's just dirty!
