Fister set a new AL record with 9 consecutive strike-outs. Still pitching to the 10th.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Yankees fans.... :rolleyes:

Rangers/A's day game has started off very well... 5-0 after the first. Rangers need to split the series. Magic number is still sitting at 5.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Tigers get the 4 game sweep vs the Royals, no thanks to J. Benoit.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Dickey strikes out 13 and gets win #20 as the Mets win 6-5 against the Pirates. He has officially put himself in contention for the NL Cy Young award. Tied for 1st in wins, 1st in strikeouts, and second in ERA. :tu

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

I hope he gets it

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Magic number down to 3.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

So can the Dodgers win out to try and win a WC spot?
Prolly not but I can hope.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Although neither your Dodgers nor my Phillies are technically eliminated, I'd say now is a good time to give up on both teams. :td

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

This season is coming down to the wire!
Yanks, now, are the 1 seed, but could slide all the way down to a wild card.
Texas is only up by 1, with 2 left to play with Oakland.
They could end up a wildcard or the one seed.
In fact all 4 teams fighting could end up with the 1 seed or a wildcard berth!
Crazy when you think about it!
Tigers lock up the Central. I always thought they would win it, but it shouldn't have taken them this long.
Kudos to Ventura! I'm sure he gave ChiSox fans more than they were hoping for.
I doubt the end of this season will match the drama of last year's, but this is fun.
I need a way to see the Oakland Vs Texas game tonight.
I hope MLB Network or ESPN airs it.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Go A's! Playoffs for them since 5 years. Such a fun game to watch last night. I hope we sweep Texas and win the division!

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Die.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Well the Dodgers have won 6 straight so I would say we are putting up a fight. Let's keep it going Blue!
A bit to late to be turning it up though.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

I would actually really like to see the dodgers in the playoffs.

But, then, I hope the team craters for another year or so because I want them to unload Kershaw to Texas.

Hey, pipe dreams can be fun.

My respect for the A's was and is high. Best drafting/developing team in the league. Just think how good it would be for baseball if they ever were able to get out of Oakland. They probably scare me more than any other team in the AL right now.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Best smile all season.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

I'm glad the Tigers finally sealed the deal. I hope Miggy can wrap up the triple crown and the MVP in these next two days, we can get Scherzer healthy, then bring on the Yankees. :wo

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Adam Greenberg got his at bat tonight and Dickey struck him out. I was really hoping he got a hit.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Wake me up when it's post season

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Yeah, me too.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

How about them A's? What a game. One more for the division... Yes, we can!

Let's Go Oakland!

Go A's!

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Going to be an awesome game tomorrow...I don't have a dog in this fight, but I hope the A's keep Hamilton from hitting the long ball. ;)

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Well we tried.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

That's more than I can say about my Phillies. I can't believe we didn't even finish .500 let alone make the playoffs. All that talent. Oh well, like C from the Bronx Tale said, "Nothing worse than wasted talent."

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

I was rooting for Donnie baseball and the Dodgers to make it.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

:tpd:

I'll always root for Donnie baseball! :tu

I spent nine innings Mutha Fcukin the Yanks.
I was furious at them!
With their fate in their hands, they could only muster one lowly run, against the hapless Red Sox.
After they tied it in the ninth, I was still furious that they didn't win it right there.
They had bases loaded, one out, with Tex and Cano coming up, and neither one of those jabronies could get the run home.
By the time they finally won it in the 12th, I was spent.
I wish I had the energy to watch the Oakland game!

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Game is at 12... Damn work.. I really want to watch this one too.

Same here, just to help the A's win. If this game wasn't for the division, I would like him to hit a few just so he would pass Cabrera for it.

Not a fan of Cabrera at all....

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Last nights game was certainly an emotional roller coaster with all of the lost opportunities.

I watched every pitch and every swing.

I was spent too.

Agreed on the Oakland game...too old for that shite

;)

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Why no love for Miggy?

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Yup...by all reports, a pretty good guy besides being the best hitter in the Majors.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Not by all reports ;)
http://voices.yahoo.com/miguel-cabre...e-4587125.html

Some say this incident and the 0-11 that followed cost the Tigers the division that year.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Some might say da b*tch done gone berserk! ;)

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Not really sure.. Him and Young, I can't stand on the team!

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Congrats to the A's and their fans.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

How bout that.. What an exciting game. I was listening to it while I was working.. or tryinh to work.

Great job Oakland! Keep rolling! I'm so juiced!

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Miguel Cabrera is the first Triple Crown winner since '67 :wo

Austin Jackson hit .300 for the first time in his career :)

Tigers vs. A's first round

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Going to the Giants game this Saturday!

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Miguel Cabrera is just a phukkin' beast. :2

A's were the last team I was hoping the Tigers would play in the first round, they are about the only A.L. team hotter than the Tigers the last couple weeks. Hoping that our starters can go deep, and the bats stay alive. Should be a great series.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Congrats to Miguel Carbrera on the Triple Crown. :tu :tu

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

No luv for my Nats, eh? Best record in MLB and my boys have to go on the road for two games? WTF! Sorry azz Selig!

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Only the 2nd time in my lifetime, and the first I was a newborn! Congrats to Mr. Cabrera!

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Should be a good series. I'm excited.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

I can't stand Delmon either. I had enough of his brother and his time here back when.

Congrats to Miggy. What a feat. A's are hot. Like you Tom I hope our starter can go deep and the bats stay alive. Should be a great series.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Watched what may have been Lance Berkmans last at bat last night. Pretty touching as he should still be on the DL but limped out to the batters box and all the way to 1st after hitting into a ground out. The fans were cheering the whole time while the ump stood back to update his book to give Berkman time for the moment.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Bobby V did not deserve to be fired.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

hoping the As keep playing out of their minds and The Giants keep rolling. Bay Bridge series :noon no earthquake. As a long time hater of SoCal teams it was a great year. :gary

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Go back to the NHL thread, Mike. :fu :r

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

I really want to congratulate Miggy Cabrera for what seemed like such an unrealistic feat. I am not old enough to remember the last one (thank god for that, ayy :) ) but i remember seeing people come somewhat close and whiff out as the year got stronger.. Well Miggy got stronger as the season got longer and tougher!..

Kudos to One of the best Pure Hitters in the game!!

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

I'm dying man trust me. I love baseball and hockey. Those are my two. When baseball ends and there is no NHL I will be lost. At least the boys hockey is keeping me busy.

Here's to the Detroit :gary A's

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Pretty good games last night, despite the debacle in the ATL.
I had liked the O's, but never thought the Cards would beat the Braves.
In fact, I had the Braves going all the way to the series.
Looks like I'm gonna have to find another NL team to root for.

The 2 division series get under way today, with the higher ranked teams opening on the road.
Anyone have any thoughts about the teams starting on the road?
I personally don't think it's a big deal.
Unless the Yanks open 0-2, then I'll be screaming about it! ;) :r

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

I too thought the Braves would win and the O's would buckle.
