2013 Baseball Thread: ARod vs the MLB

haha this is greatness, Pirates ultimate team

Everyone says that, but where was the thread? Page 5? 6? Proof that when teams like the Pirates are headed for the playoffs, nobody actually cares.

That division race tho, at least people in the Midwest have something to talk about now.

beisbol thread aint kickin like bball thread

not enough whites

You’d think the latino community would make up for that disparity, and yet somehow…

Oh wait the Marlins are ass this year and forever. Nvm.

franchise killer Loria should get ousted but all the owners love each other too much, it is too bad that they don’t allow David Samson on Lebatards show anymore those segments were pretty awkward horrible after they cut all their money players last season

Bud Selig to retire after next season.

Love or hate the guys…I kind of respect him.

World Series picks? Honestly have to go with the Red Sox on this one. I don’t see the Dodgers doing it in a 7 game series.

All my time i used to soend watching baseball is now spent practicing combos :frowning:

Time for postseason preparation. And what better way to do it than with hilarious contract demands?

hahaha 30 mil a year?

good luck!!! Even me hitting .600 with 100+ homers a year on MLB the show couldnt get 20 mil a year

Angels where you at? Give my boy Cano a call lol.

Honestly I hope the Yankees never sign another 10 year contract again. You wanna overpay mans for 5 years? Sure, whatever, you’re the Yankees. No more 10 year contracts.

Hey great turnaround for the indians after losing like 23 in a row to end the season last year
now we make the playoffs

Oh dang, TB at Texas for a one game tie breaker? (Good luck competing with Monday night football)
Then the winner at Cleveland for a one game wildcard?

Yeah, this game determines who faces the Indians to play in the ALDS.

Gotta say, this new playoff format has worked out pretty well. One of these two teams will be playing back-to-back elimination games in two different cities. lolz.

Let’s all jump on the Pirates bandwagon they’re gonna take it all this year anyway.

Well the Pirates just swept the Reds and looks like they should continue that for the Wild Card to face St Louis.

But a one game wild card is fucking crazy for baseball.

I hate this new format. I guess I can’t complain this year though since the Rangers are taking advantage of this new format.
Rays are starting out strong, too be expected though, Perez isn’t the most clutch of pitchers

I want to believe in the pirates but the way the nats and reds let me down last year i wont hold my breath

The AL wild card race was a direct result of the new format. It seems wonky at first with the one game play in, but it puts more emphasis on the last month+ of regular season games. Overall it’s more pros than cons, IMO.
