ABC is showing a WNBA game today at 1pm instead of prime baseball or even football.
That's some fantastic contract negotiation skills right there.

It's interesting that ESPN does not have any national game today...I guess no one wants to try and go against Goliath (the NFL), and they just leave it to the Regionals to cover the local teamBTKAG97 said:

Definitely thought so and I thought it was funny. And even though there are grown successful adult men here, you are a dead man if you don't use the right winky emoji. Dead.Ag_07 said:
GD you guys are wound too tight.
It was sarcasm. I was poking fun at the nimrods on here earlier this week saying this team just didn't care.
Guess I'll tone it down a bit

I'm convinced some people have their "stupid Maldy" posts pre-written and are hovering the mouse / their finger over "Post" and then when he makes a good play they actually get angry.Cobra39 said:

If you think I was angry when Maldy threw that runner out in the 9th or cut down the runner at second in the 8th you are a complete and utter moron.The Porkchop Express said:I'm convinced some people have their "stupid Maldy" posts pre-written and are hovering the mouse / their finger over "Post" and then when he makes a good play they actually get angry.Cobra39 said:

Go read my post on the extrapolated stats for Diaz. That wasn't pre-written. Whatever.
I love this team and I want to see us succeed but forgive me if I point out that we've played a guy batting BELOW the Medoza line for like 90% of the games. It's ridiculous.
I wasn't talking to you specifically and I was clearly being sarcastic, but thanks for lashing out like a nutjob.Prosperdick said:If you think I was angry when Maldy threw that runner out in the 9th or cut down the runner at second in the 8th you are a complete and utter moron.The Porkchop Express said:I'm convinced some people have their "stupid Maldy" posts pre-written and are hovering the mouse / their finger over "Post" and then when he makes a good play they actually get angry.Cobra39 said:

I don't think there is a night game for them to televise like normal on Sunday night.

Anyway, we're all just anxious as this season has taken a toll. It's been a bumpy ass ride and we all know where most (but not all) that blame resides. It's incredibly frustrating so it manifests itself with posts like mine above.
OK, something we can all agree on. Go Astros!
I mean there are enough of us regulars here I feel like i know the posting tendencies of the majority of this group and it's pretty easy to see the sarcasm posts as proposed to the bleeders.

Mariners starting their best players today
Blue Jays resting George, Chapman, and Vlad Jr

Baker on Javier: "We'll see how far we take Cristian. That's going to depend on what's happening elsewhere. Hopefully, we can get an early lead. I've got some guys here pushing 100 RBIs and 30 home runs. The personal [stuff] matters on the back of your bubblegum card also."

Dusty Baker prior to Game 162: "I'd like to get everybody in the game, but No. 1 thing you want to win the game. There's some guys that need at-bats, guys that need to take a break from their legs if we have to play Tuesday."

Seattle looks like they are starting their regulars. Kudos to Servais.
Blue Jays are trying to throw the game. Good look in the wild card era. It is clear that the higher seed should be able to pick its opponent in these crazy wild card times.W said:

And before you say that is crazy...it ain't as crazy as this.

What an obtuse a-hole. Maldy will catch until his legs fall off if he gets his way.
it's been speculated that Toronto is tanking for the 6-seed
they've already played the Rays and Orioles 26 times this season
Jays would like to try a different path

Lol jays clearly trying to lose
So the m's are playing their starters? Bet they get pulled ealry
I've never seen a team try to lose in order to "get" another team. Very few professional athletes get up in the morning thinking, "I"m going to intentionally suck today." Just not in their nature.Mathguy64 said:

If I was a fan, I'd lose all respect for my team if they were consciously throwing it.

No you wouldn't. You'd expect them to do whatever us best to set themselves up for the playoffs.
I think he means the Mariners. There's no reason for them to now have pride to want to win today.AgLA06 said:OKCAg2002 said:

Sooo what about all those games this year where we saw Julks, Kessinger, Madris, etc. in our lineup?
Class of 2010
Anybody surprised they Maldy was the leader in that champagne video?

No. I'm talking about the Jays. If they are seriously laying down, that's weak.
Not at all. I think he has taken over the role of the emotional leader of the team since Correa left. I know that is an unpopular take around here, but obviously, the guys in that clubhouse have tons of respect for him and look to him for leadership.Willy Wonka said:
