I'm going to the Dodgers series, so I'll be able to make fun of their fans in person!

There's a good chance you'll get your ass kicked.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #362 on:** April 16, 2010, 11:57:21 PM »

Not in my park

What are the Dodgers' fans going to do, throw bottles of estrogen at me?

Green Shinobi · « **Reply #363 on:** April 17, 2010, 12:00:00 AM »

nm, I thought you meant that you were going to do that on one of your LA trips.

There are Dodgers fans in DC?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #364 on:** April 17, 2010, 12:04:14 AM »

I dislike Dodgers Stadium. I doubt I'd go to another home game in awhile.

If I go to a ballgame in the Los Angeles area, it's going to be at Angels Stadium. Or I'll go north and hit up the Bay Area.

... and yeah, there are always fans of away teams in D.C. The metropolitan area is very transient because of government work and government contractors. I even saw a few Brewers fans at the stadium tonight.

I also dig the new Nats' nickname for the Philles: the Broadway Barfers.

Padilla just beaned Rowand in the Giants-Dodgers game. You could see dumbass thugs in the crowd cheering.

I never understood the trade for Melky.

We had too many starters and needed to dump some salary. No one wanted to trade for Lowe without us eating almost all of his salary. There you go.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #367 on:** April 17, 2010, 01:11:07 AM »

So you traded a solid starter for Melky? There wasn't ANYTHING better on the table?!

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #368 on:** April 17, 2010, 02:44:00 AM »

Apparently from everything I've heard the real centerpiece of the deal was the pitching prospect we got, who is apparently a year or two away from being a starter and is very, very good.

Of course, he was a Yankee prospect so that means that he's probably the second coming of Charlie Liebrandt or something. Fucking worse overhyped prospects in all of sports...

Green Shinobi · « **Reply #369 on:** April 17, 2010, 04:15:46 PM »

Matt Kemp

Lincecum taking the mound.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #371 on:** April 17, 2010, 06:13:21 PM »

Just got home from a Livo-powered complete game shutout of the Brewers!

The Nats are above .500 for the first time in like three years!

Stadium went nuts, we all flooded The Bullpen beer garden across the street for a ridiculous afterparty.

I drank way too much.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #372 on:** April 17, 2010, 10:26:29 PM »

The Mets-Cards game is scoreless in the 16th inning.

ManaByte · « **Reply #373 on:** April 17, 2010, 10:42:53 PM »

They should just shut down Dodgers Stadium for the rest of the season.

9-0 is what you get when you don't have a pitching staff.

And of I see one more idiot with a "Los Doyers" shirt I'm going to barf on them.

Green Shinobi · « **Reply #374 on:** April 17, 2010, 10:48:01 PM »

Angels-Giants Game 6, 7th and 8th innings, never forget!

ManaByte · « **Reply #375 on:** April 17, 2010, 10:56:14 PM »

Yes they forced a game 7. And if Dusty started Woody instead if that worthless idiot Livan Hernandez the Giants would've won game 7.

All 4 of the Angels runs in game 7 were given up by Livan. When Dusty brought in Woody to relieve him, no runs were earned. That's why Dusty got the boot to the Cubs.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #376 on:** April 17, 2010, 11:00:22 PM »

I <3 Livan.

He's pitched 16 scoreless innings so far!

A quick peek at his stats show that all his best stats are as an Expo or National.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #377 on:** April 17, 2010, 11:09:42 PM »

I am watching a hitter pitch to a pitcher right now.

Green Shinobi · « **Reply #378 on:** April 17, 2010, 11:11:59 PM »

Cajole, would you say that you're more of a pitcher, or a catcher?

We all know that ManaByte is a catcher.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #379 on:** April 17, 2010, 11:17:33 PM »

Pitcher

But I wouldn't want Manabyte as my battery mate.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #380 on:** April 17, 2010, 11:23:22 PM »

Pictures from my day at the ballpark. First, I made sure to get there early so I could chill out at the Scorebood Walk bar. Beers are half off until the first pitch, and it has this laid back era with sofas and chairs where you can listen to crappy bands.

Here's the view from the other side of the bar area:

These were my seats for the game today. Five bucks.

... I spent less than $20 for a ticket, a beer, a slice of pizza and a bottle of water.

(I spent more than that afterwards, though.)

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #381 on:** April 17, 2010, 11:26:06 PM »

Not a bad deal. I paid that much for parking @ Staples.

Nice. Fuck the Cardinals. 20 fucking innings.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #385 on:** April 18, 2010, 02:30:13 AM »

The Braves got fucking no hit today, ugh.

Jason Marquis is a jerk

How the fuck do you get pulled in the first inning before recording a SINGLE out?

Pull a Marquis.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #388 on:** April 19, 2010, 09:47:57 PM »

The Rox are trying to fight back.

I'm afraid to play the Marlins now, though.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #389 on:** April 19, 2010, 10:52:20 PM »

Yay, Nats go above .500! I like these guys.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #390 on:** April 19, 2010, 11:01:37 PM »

One game under .500, good thing the O's are in town.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #391 on:** April 19, 2010, 11:07:18 PM »

Don't sleep on them. They've got a lot of talent, I think they just need a manager shakeup.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #392 on:** April 19, 2010, 11:13:48 PM »

Mets keep pace with the Nats.

And yeah, I think the Orioles are much better than what their record says.

Oh, I'm sure I jinxed the M's by making that comment.

So Ripken may come in and take over?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #394 on:** April 19, 2010, 11:48:15 PM »

I don't think it will happen. Folks think Cal wants to buy the team, actually.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #395 on:** April 20, 2010, 12:13:38 AM »

7-0 M's in the fourth. Gonna get back to .500!

I may go see Angels-Spankees on Sunday.

David Eckstein had a walkoff HR tonight.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #398 on:** April 20, 2010, 02:38:22 PM »

Rockies' team president found dead in his hotel room. Great. Now the Rockies will rally around their late team president and beat the Nationals. $:-\$

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #399 on:** April 20, 2010, 02:49:34 PM »

...come on now, the Rockies probably didn't need to rally around a dead dude to beat the Nats.

Also, Jason Heyward is hitting .302 with 3 HR and 15 RBI.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #400 on:** April 20, 2010, 03:45:34 PM »

They got beat by Willie Harris last night

And in my points based Yahoo league where I drafted him as my RF (we had to do OF positions by actual position) and got laughed at. I told people that he'd do well.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #402 on:** April 20, 2010, 07:47:53 PM »

I paid $10 for him in an auction league and got laughed at. Steal of a deal now, bitches.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #403 on:** April 20, 2010, 07:48:08 PM »

We laughed at Triumph in the auction draft.

$:-\$

Edit: Beaten.

Although, to be fair, we laughed much more at Hughes at $7. That was AWESOME.

At least I'm ahead of you in the auction league.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #406 on:** April 20, 2010, 07:57:19 PM »

Yeah, but you're the ONLY person ahead of me. Although I have to play the 3rd place team this week, and his team has Utley, Homosexual-Rod, and Lincecum. OUCH.

Billingsley is such a P.O.S.

I remember thinking he was going to be a future All-Star.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #412 on:** April 21, 2010, 11:48:22 PM »

Nationals improve to 8-7, and Marquis has been placed on the DL. I wonder if the club will call up J.D. Martin to replace him in the rotation; they don't have the guts to page Strasburg out of financial considerations.

I'm heading to the ballpark tomorrow to see April's best pitchers, Livan Hernandez and Ubaldo Jimenez, duel. I'd like for the Nats to take the series, but it looks like Zimmerman aggravated his hamstring again. And with Dunn in a slump, that lineup lacks a lot of punch without Zim.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #413 on:** April 21, 2010, 11:55:03 PM »

WaPo is now putting money that former Braves first-round draft pick, Luis Atilano, might get the call. Dude has been quietly getting it together in the minors, but I wonder if he can make it work in the majors.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #416 on:** April 22, 2010, 10:42:04 AM »

The Orioles have the worst record in the majors. They are worst than the Astros!

I don't get it. How can a team with such a talented outfield, catching phenom Matt Wieters and Brian Matusz be so bad? They've got a really talented core. I wish the Nationals' roster was as talented.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #417 on:** April 22, 2010, 11:38:24 AM »

I know this gets hammered to death, but probably because they play in the AL East.

In related news, looks like Halladay is gonna win 30 games after getting out of that division.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #418 on:** April 22, 2010, 11:42:40 AM »

Yeah, he's making a mockery of the NL.

He's already racked up 1.5 WAR.

They haven't even played Boston or New York, yet.

... Send Baltimore to the NL East, and send the Mets to the AL East.
