2011 MLB Season Discussion

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Dodgers start relief fund for injured Giants fan.. Linky

Mets... Bad start to the season when they can't even beat the NATIONALS.

Yup par for the course with the ny mess lol

^ That would make a lot of sense to me.

Which is exactly why it won't happen

 

[Starbreaker]

Mark Buehrle finally gave up a hit in the 6th. I was rooting for him to do it again...

 

[DeafPoet]

Wow. The Jays' bullpen, heretofore the best in baseball, just blew a 7-0 lead against the Mariners. I'm just fucking speechless

Well, it HAS been a strange opening month

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Mark Buehrle finally gave up a hit in the 6th.

And how long did it take for Hawk Harrelson to start openly sobbing after that?

 

[Canadave]

I'm glad I didn't decide to watch the game tonight.

I wish I was that wise I almost turned it off after the 7th when the score was 7-1, but the marathon game against the Angels rang in the back of my head and I was like "I guess anything can happen." Boy, was I right.

Every single reliever was total shit and couldn't throw a strike to save their life. Most notably, Dotel, who really impressed me in the marathon game faced exactly two batters and walked in two runs. Just a fucking disgraceful performance all around.

The real kicker is that the offense beat the living shit out of Felix "Cy Young" Hernandez and got him pulled from the game. And then that happens? Jesus Christ...

 

[Aragorn]

Barry Bonds guilty of obstruction of justice, but no verdict on the three other counts of lying to a grand jury.

 

[DeafPoet]

One would hope that they'll re-try those counts of perjury.

 

[Starbreaker]

Can't be tried for the same crime twice...

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

The remaining counts were mistrials (hung jury) so Bonds could indeed be retried.

 

[Starbreaker]

Oh... I heard not guilty on the radio. I doubt they'll waste anymore money.

 

[DeafPoet]

They might not want to waste the money, and that would be okay. But I'd sure as hell be happy if they wanted to take another crack at him.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Eh, it's pretty much a Who Cares? at this point. You want to argue he hurt the integrity of baseball or something, that's fine, but when it comes to a societal interest overall, it's not that big of a deal.

 

[SmoothieX]

^Pretty much what I think.

Good for going after him for cheating the criminial justice system, but I agree that enough is enough. Don't waste more time, effort and money going after him. I don't care if he did drugs or not, it was entertaining to watch him. Go lock up some axe murderer rapist kiddie toucher instead next time.

 

[Starbreaker]

That sounds like an Asylum film.

indeed. Honestly, up don't get why congress got involved in the first place. Certainly there were more important things to do

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Perhaps. But this WILL send a message:

- Get off the damn 'roids
- Don't perjure oneself in court
- Don't be a lying, cheating thug

If Bonds' situation helps get any of that out, I'll call it even.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

I doubt it. If he gets community service and no retrial, it might say don't do steroids, but it certainly doesn't say "don't perjure yourself."
