    Buck is just horrible

    Sure he's not the flat out best ever, like his papa, but he's not horrible for a network style jack of all trades announcer.

    The ongoing set of Dane Cook, Lopez Tonight, Frank Caliendo Show, Bon Jovi, and Kid Rock are killing everything I love about baseball.

    Also, MLB Productions is seriously underrated as opposed to something like NFL Films. They need to start utilizing all this behind-the-scene footage a lot better.

    they play in the toughest division in baseball and still put up a nice record. you can't tell me if they played in a weaker division (al or NL) that they wouldn't make it??????????

    I think you're getting your threads mixed up. :lol:

    Dude, here's the thing - they don't. 2. THEY are the team that builds that competition, not Toronto, Baltimore or Tampa Bay. New York AND Boston are the reason that division is the way it is - point being it's cyclical when teams like TB, TO, and Bal are competitive. It happens in other divisions as well.

    3. The whole NL/AL argument cannot be made. Two entirely different leagues, constructed entirely differently, managed entirely differently. You can never compare team stats such as ERA, AVG, etc. etc. of an AL team with that of an NL team. I already wrote about this somewhere else. The 9th batter in an AL lineup is a professional hitter, while the 9th hitter in an NL team is a professional pitcher. The whole argument of "the NL is weaker than the AL" is preposterous solely for this reason - well, not solely but is ALWAYS my lead-in argument. The two can NEVER be compared. I'm not even going to include how the DH is an atrocity to the sport - and I'm not just saying that because I'm an avid supporter of an NL team.

    I do agree you can't say the red sox would be dominant in the NL because if the Red Sox were in the NL they wouldn't have Ortiz. I think it is fair to say if they were aligned differently within the AL they would be a playoff team though.

    It is a fact that it is much easier for pitchers to pitch in the NL than the AL. This cannot be argued.

    But that's neither here nor there. It's a HUGE part of the strategy of NL baseball that is thus taken out of AL play - which where, in theory, pitchers can go longer. As one can make the argument that the NL favors the pitcher cannot argue that the AL favors hitters. So the point of that is - yeah, so... fucking ...what? Apples.... and.... oranges. As much as I hate cliches....

    Jason Heyward is from Jordan?

    ha, GEORGIA, I am an idiot. Speak clearly asshole, you are an announcer. Why is it such a big deal that 2 players in a game are from Georgia.

    I don't wanna jinx anyone, but is the first round going to be all sweeps? I can definitely see it happening.

    hell of a game by Lincecum :(

    although had that ump been in position and made the right call by calling Posey out on the steal attempt, they might have been in for a long, extra inning game because neither team was doing anything at the plate

    i'd prefer the braves for obvious reasons, but the pitching match ups in a phils/giants nlcs will be EPIC.

    Seems like we are getting quite a few botched calls in the playoffs. Check swing strikes, calls at second, strikes called balls.

    Oh well, GO GIANTS!!
    HUM BABY!!
  • BTW, how hot is that chick at the Twins game yelling at the ump about the strikezone? DAMN!!

    What a sad state of umpiring we are dealing with in MLB. You NEVER see managers tossed out of playoff games and it has happened twice already in the 1st round. It's pretty sad.
