The Official 2012 MLB Bitch and Moan Thread

Anyone watch the HR Derby last night. I find myself watching it just about every year unless most of the big names decide not to enter. Last night, Prince Fielder was launching some bombs into the fountain in KC. I have to say the most annoying thing about the derby is allowing Chris Berman to continue calling it. Fuck sake man, every HR is not a jaw dropping, mammoth shot for the ages. Berman was funny as hell back in the early days of ESPN but he ran his course with me about 10 years ago. And to let that slapstick fucker anywhere near a golf telecast booth is just

On a non-related baseballz note...way to go Red Sox

Youkilis had 11 hits in 23 at-bats for the White Sox (.478 average) with three home runs, 10 RBIs, seven runs, a .571 on-base percentage and .913 slugging percentage in six games last week. The White Sox went 5-1 during that span.

I laughed my ass off watching Robinson Cano hit last night. The crowd cheered twice as loud for his outs than for any of the monster shots hit by the other guys.

Cards are having a promotion, that for every HR Beltran hit, we get $1 of outfield seats. Normally 20 bucks, they will sell for $8. And it's for the series vs the Dodgers, so a quality opponent.

They did this a few years ago with Pujols, and he only hit 4. Further indication that he's a douchebag who can go choke on a fat dick.

It's amazing how a new uniform can change your attitude about a guy.

Yes, Berman is annoying as hell. Back back back....ok, show's over dude. Shit is not funny anymore. About as funny as Dicky V and his diaper dandies BABY!!!

Fielder was fun to watch but this Trumbo kid...who the fuck? Guy hit some monsters. He apparently hits the longest HR's in MLB statistically.

The Red Sox are like UGA, except Boston has some recent titles. The non threatening losers who always seem to know how to fuck something up.

I sort of adopted the Red Sox as my American League team back about 10 years ago. Mainly as the chief nemises of the Yankmees. Can't recall who on here a week or two ago was talking about how shitty their fans are. Probably so. I imagine most fans in big cities have their fair share of assholes. No offense Buzz, but just watch the Steve Bartman documentary. Wow, that dud had to go into hiding. Complete life changer because he reached for a foul ball. Anyhoo, Fenway Pahk is one of the sporting venues on my bucket list. I wanted to do Wrigley but last year, I go the chance to stop at it and check it out a little. The L Train stopped there for quite a while and you could see all down in it. Pretty cool to kind of take it all in but now I don't care about making a special trip to it.

This post spawned the bucket thread didn't it. Nice segway my friend.

Bahstuhnn fans are pretty bad. Second to only Philly fans in obnoxious craziness. I've encountered a few and it was not pretty. I can take them in very small doses a few mins at a time. Yes, that bad.

They have an Easter Egg hunt at Philadelphia's baseball field each year. Fans fill the stadium so they can BOO the kids who don't find any eggs.

The sad part? He wasn't joking at all. They piss in snowballs and thrown them at Santa Claus. They throw pennies at opposing players. They boo'ed Mike Schmidt his last year.

Not counting today's game vs the Astros, which they should win, the next 10 games will make or break the Cardinals season.

3 game set at Cincy
3 game set at Pitt
4 games at Washington.

Absolutely essential that they put some distance between themselves and the Pirates, now that we've climbed into the 2nd WC spot.

The Bravos finally got back on track last night. Washington is tough.
