Don't blame the MLB for large groups of drunken casuals ruining a game. I hate those fans. They can go straight to hell.

Says the same person who has lost his mind on other posters countless times.

MJ back yet again. lol.

Certainly not a conspiracy theorist but that was just a complete f***ing by that Italian umpire this aft. How many more borderline calls did the Rags get compared to the Jays today? ~20 I believe someone said? Just a complete screwjob. Why we do not go to computerized umpiring is beyond me.

Pirates clearly in the wrong there.

No offence, but I don't know how a baseball fan doesn't know this. It just makes you look like a bandwagoner. Almost like not understanding the ever so confusing magic number process.

I wonder what happened to F. Torres.

Yes

If Hendriks is used for long relief/mop up duty instead of high leverage, that's 1 dumb step closer to hurting your chances in the postseason.

I voted for him.

Absolutely. It's just common sense. If you have nothing to add or if you feel you're out of touch with what others are talking about, how about, ya just don't post? I just don't get why people continue to post in threads they have no business being in when no one gives a s*** about your worthless opinion. Look back at the off-season thread from 2014 (if it's not deleted). That was one of the most informative threads we'll ever see and that's what this place should want to be. But I guess the powers that be don't want that. We want MJ and the like.

No kidding. What's funny is that these shitlords that are kept around here are either too dumb to figure out how to donate or couldn't muster up $0.50 if their lives depended on it, while, at the same time, destroy this place. It's all very ironic.

Not sure what happened as it looks like I lost posts on my whopping ~200 post count in 10 years. Never posted anything bad besides calling out duplicates. These blow ups used to be entertaining but it's a shame that we lose posters who actually have knowledge of the game. The off-season is coming up in a month and that is usually the best time to read the board with all of the player movement, etc. I don't log in to read useless drivel spewed by Trouba95, RealMasturbator, Metallijay, etc. Just my preference though.

So the board blew up again?

Nice punting of 2 games. Kind of annoying.

You and your 96th account.

Not a bad idea. But what do you do when posters rip off 100 spam posts within a 2 hour period? I'll admit that I didn't help this topic one bit. There was a baseball discussion going on but we know who jumped in way over his head. It's like a 5 year old sitting down with his parents to discuss the economy. Yes, this an open forum for anyone to use, but at least think to yourself and ask if you really belong in a conversation you know nothing about.

Why can't things go smoothly just once for this team? f*** is this frustrating. I would imagine Martin DH's today to try and compensate for the offence lost. Revere Donaldson Bautista Colabello Martin Goins Pennington Pillar Thole ? f***.

MJ, you can't even keep track of what you write. You said you were putting me on ignore, you said you wanted to know how to donate to the forum (lol, like that's even a possibility), you've implied you are a darker skinned person, a white person, the list goes on. And you call out mods for another poster's banning. I don't know where one gets off doing this but have at er.

Still a better poster than MJ.

I wonder if the Jimenez/Tulowitzki feud still exists. This is back from 2012. Jimenez wasn't happy when the Rockies gave Tulowitzki and Gonzalez long term contracts and not him. Tulowitzki said Jimenez should get on with his career or something like that. Then this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jeg4CJlbg8

Incest is bad.

God that Machado kid is such a douche.

Jake Arrieta's no-hitter for the Cubs on Sunday night is not going to help the perception some have of Orioles GM Dan Duquette, who sent Arrieta and reliever Pedro Strop to the Cubs for potential free-agent right-hander Scott Feldman and catcher Steve Clevenger on July 2, 2013. At the time of the trade, most recognized Arrieta as a high-ceiling arm with the potential to develop into a top-of-the-rotation starter. But let's not forget, he had a 5.46 ERA in 358 innings with the Orioles. It's to his credit -- and the Cubs' -- that he fulfilled his potential in Chicago. Duquette, meanwhile, did mostly terrific work in helping the Orioles reach the postseason in two of the last three seasons. But his desire to pursue the Blue Jays' club presidency last off-season -- and the Orioles' refusal to let him depart -- created a lingering resentment among some inside the organization, resentment that carried over into the team's rapidly souring season, major-league sources say. Some who are upset probably were counting on promotions if Duquette departed. Still, even some fans questioned whether Duquette grew distracted during his flirtation with Toronto (the Orioles and Blue Jays could not agree on compensation for Duquette; the Indians did not ask for compensation for Shapiro, choosing not to impede him if he wanted to leave, sources said.) The Orioles' 63-67 record stems from a large number of factors, including a rotation that is 13th in the AL in ERA. Duquette, though, stumbled when he failed to adequately replace Nelson Cruz and Nick Markakis, both of whom left as free agents. And even though the GM acquired outfielder Gerardo Parra at the non-waiver deadline, he also traded reliever Tommy Hunter, leaving his bullpen vulnerable (neither Parra nor Hunter has performed particularly well for their new clubs). The desire of Orioles owner Peter Angelos to hold Duquette to his contract was understandable; that contract runs through 2018. Still, Duquette would have been leaving for a promotion, and Angelos’ stubbornness created an unhealthy environment around the club. As if that is not enough, all this comes at a time when the Orioles are at a crossroads, facing the losses of a large number of free agents with a farm system that is too thin to keep the club strong. It's a bit of a mess, no?

No, we'd have Yan Gomes, Hechavarria, Syndergaard, etc. with a perpetual contender for the AL East (at a fraction of the cost) instead of what's likely just a half year window of contention right now.
