goose Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Not MLB, but NCAA baseball. Louisville wins with a walk-off steal of home: http://www.cardchronicle.com/2015/4/18/8451057/louisville-beats-wake-forest-on-walk-off-steal-of-home The same thing happened earlier this year when Arizona did it: http://m.mlb.com/cutfour/2015/02/21/109995628/arizona-defeats-rice-with-walk-off-steal-of-home (^^^much better footage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaFellaStrangiato Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Oakland/KC rubber game today. Let's see if they can get through one game without sliding into second with spikes up or throwing fastballs into each other's ribs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingAllTheTime Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Got it. Every fan base has idiots. I've seen some rooting for my teams as well. I'm a Chiefs fan and I face palm every time I see the Tomahawk Chop at Arrowhead. Uggghhh!! Chief fan here. Same face palm, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought some hot wings from a British supermarket yesterday so let's see how badly they f***ed it up while I watch baseball. One time during a trip to England, one of the student union buildings advertized they were serving tacos for lunch. I was super excited to think that maybe I could have some form of pseudo American food in the land where food was forgotten..... alas.... British tacos are apparently.... I kid you not.... flattened pieces of white bread smothered with some sort of grey meat stew. Edited April 20, 2015 by WorkingAllTheTime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingAllTheTime Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Just gonna point this out.... my beloved Birds have started the season 8-3 against the NL Central (no games against Pitt yet, though). This includes a 1-1 split against Chicago thanks to a (sort of) rain out, a 2-1 series win over the Brewers, a 2-1 series win over the Reds, and now a 3-0 sweep of the Reds. Yes, it's very early, but...... okay..... never mind..... 5-1 against the Reds. Woo-hoo we can still kick puppies! Here's to a tight NL Central race.... Cubbies, Brewers, and Pirates... bring it! Reds... thanks for showing up. We will do it Little League style and give you a participation trophy at All-Star break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm starting to think our free agent signing is a huge bust. At least we didn't sign Rick Porcello to a huge contract. I would agree a year away from legitimate contention, but I I do think .500 is within reach for the Northsiders. The schedule against the division could help. The gap between the talent level in Milwaukee and Pitt is not as large anymore. A winning record against Cincy is likely. They always play the Cardinals moderately well even in bad years, so this year they will hover around a split. That leaves them looking to play .500 against the rest of the league and in interleague. And in the NL this year, .500 could put you in the Wild Card Play-In conversation. I think for the Cubs any meaningful games this September is a win. It's been a long, terrible drought in Wrigleyville, but there are storm clouds on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team will be much improved and will threaten .500 They aren't going to win the AL West, but if I believed in naming a "Royals for 2015", I would name Houston.

The team that won the World Series 2 seasons ago. You're paying Jon Lester $155 million between now and 2020. He's 30. He can't throw to first. Was that really that much smarter of signing?

I don't remember any real history of bad blood between the teams. I wonder what set the recent hatred off? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
