tongue-tied lightning Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 go Reds ? if the Reds merged with the Pirates would they be 500 ? probably not. who else roots for teams that are the absolute worst every year, and do you care past the middle of June whenour teams are usually 15 games out.

The High Heat Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Joe Mauer... AL MVP at this point, I would say. Hunter was a leader until he got hurt. Morales and Crawford will get votes, too. Link to post Share on other sites

bleedorange Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Arrgh...blowing 5-0 and 4-0 leads on consecutive nights isn't going to win anything. And can anybody else beat the Angels? That might be the best team in baseball. Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Clay Buchholz looks like the offspring of Gollum and Willem Dafoe.True. But women (or at least some women) seem to like him. Last year he was dating a Penthouse Pet and now he is engaged to a “Deal or No Deal” Briefcase Model. Link to post Share on other sites

rareair Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 who else roots for teams that are the absolute worst every year, and do you care past the middle of June whenour teams are usually 15 games out. as a cubs fan, i say yes. except the year they lost the first 12 or something, which destroyed my enthusiasm for the entire year. there is always next year (without dusty). edit: 1997 cubs started 0-14. ouch. sosa hit only 36 hrs and glanville and mcrea rounded out the outfield with an additional 10 hrs.

The High Heat Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Weirdest game of the year was played Sunday when the Phils beat the Mets. Brad Lidge finally got a save, but had to rely on an unassisted triple play by 2B Eric Bruntlett to end the game. Link to post Share on other sites
