So to get it straight, MIR is bummed about his team clearly becoming the best team in the AL for the next three years AND hates this guy:


I don't hold Royals fans :love: of this moment against you guys  because of the obvious euphoria but this was roundly mocked by non-royals fans and if he did this for lets say the Indians, you'd be mocking him too. Given his role on that team he had no business with that mic in his hands, of course Gomes being Gomes he hijacked the moment.

MIR, a lot of people thought Manny Ramirez was a "me-first" guy and didn't like him. I always thought that was stupid because he was the best right handed hitter in the game for time. That's how I feel about Sale. And yeah I know Sale is more whiny but still.

I was trying to think of successful royals I wasn't very fond of. Blanton was a whiny bitch who hated to go against his past lovers. Obviously Soria. All shitty players come to mind unfortunately. I guess I grew tired of Mike Sweeney, because he's all we had, and people built him up for it. Billy Butler was your wells. What a goober.

you sure you're not thinking of Jason Frazier?
Holy crap you're right. My bad. Good looking out.  :thumbs:

I just googled it, and it looks like everyone loves it:

People who played with Manny swore by him, said his reputation was unearned, he was smart and worked hard. Does anyone cape up for Sale? He can pitch his ass off though.

I mean even when we brought Gomes in, he seemed like a 100% team guy to me. His role was to give Gordon and Cain off days and ride the pine. He filled his role as #1 cheerleader perfectly.

People's attention spans have turned to mush in today's society (especially social media). Sad, but true.

Hey Beethoven, your 5th symphony really cuts into my videogame and snapchatting time. Can you maybe cut out 2 movements and also those really famous four notes at the beginning? Just play one of them and point to 1st base instead.

 :lol: I also don't like the new intentional walk thing as well. Permission to tell a story of why? It relates to an awesome little league story of mine that sent us to state. Please cf3?

Yeah, the pitcher should have to throw 4 balls to walk a baserunner.

Since you asked nicely the answer is yes

Here it goes cf3. We're in our all star districts championship game and we need to win to head to state (little League). We have our best hitter up to the plate in a tied game, with two outs, and a runner on 2nd (last inning). They want to intentionally walk him. So the catcher sets up outside and the pitcher lobs it to the left corner of the box. It looked outside enough to not worry about anything, but guess what? Bubba (his real name) leaned over and smacked it down the right field line and we won the 'ship! Man, what a ride!  :excited:

1) I equally like and dislike that rule. a) statistically zero effect so kinda good, b) it's like letting a team run the last 40 seconds without snapping the ball so kinda stupid
2) going to save like 1 minute a game  :jerk:

I've decided I'm all in on winning the World Baseball Classic.


Would be great if the WBC was more popular.  Can we beat Japan?  Probably not.  Tied 1-1 in the seventh.
