The Pennants Are Flying, As Is The Trash, And Apparently There Is A Team In Houston

Man I hate Fox, I pay extra to get FSO, then they take all the Saturday games from FSO and move them to the big Fox, and I always get the Yankees game. I didn't realize Kentucky was Yankees country...what a joke.

 

I know, happens every year, you think I'd get used to it, but it still drives me crazy.  Wouldn't it be easy just to simulcast the Fox broadcast on the respective smaller Fox channels, or am I missing something here?

I get ticked too because i get the MLB package and i don't get all the games for the same reason you listed above.  With 162 games in a season i should be able to see every game for $200.  

 

Now that i think about it, i wonder if they would have more subscribers if they would lower the price to about $125 and make it for just one team or pay the full price for all teams.....on the other hand i really only watch one team and still pay full pop so what do i know lol

Wow, the Crew got away with a big one today.

Lol when I lived in St Pete they would show the Yankees over the hometown rays.....I rather watch golf than a Yankees game

[flyfisher]

I'd rather take a nap or watch nascar than watch the Yankees or golf....

Can't blame the ump for not seeing the angle on the pickoff call but WOW that sucked for the Phils.

For sure, the next hit was a booming double off the wall.

Lots of roster changes here in Milwaukee today: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130603&content_id=49480608&vkey=news_mil&c_id=mil

Kendrick, the true Phillies ace???

[MCS]

Kendrick, the true Phillies ace???

 

Yep after they trade Lee....http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/cliff-lee-philadelphia-phillies-prepared-to-be-traded-again-060313

 

And apparently the O's were reading my post here, cuz they are mentioned in the talk....Screw Guasman and Bundy trade them for Lee. We want Lee.....We NEED Lee!

[flyfisher]

He has a no trade clause to about 20 teams i think and with the phillies not totally out of it i am not sure they will trade him, not to mention he has a lot of money coming to him and not sure how many clubs want to pick that up.  I would be upset if they traded him again....

 

And how about Dominic Brown...they keep giving him meatballs and he keeps crushing them out of the yard.  It will be interesting to see how much this helps Howard because they give him junk to hit and with a decent hitter behind him they are going to have to pitch to him.  Reminds me of when Werth was hitting behind howard but Brown has much more power and actually better in the field in my opinion.

[MCS]

Yeah tx, ny, Baltimore were all no trade teams.

Yeah brown is on fire. Galvis is doing alright too.

Rollins is hurting now?

Hearing pablebon trade rumors too

[flyfisher]

I have liked Galvis since he was in the minors.  He has a cannon for an arm and can play every infield position very well.  Rollins is banged up a little but still playing.

 

Really this team is so confusing to me it is ridiculous. I am glad that they are playing decent and have had to fight through injuries and they do have some minor leaguers that aren't quite ready yet but all is not lost....yet.  As soon as it is, have a fire sale and begin to rebuild as painful as it will be after this recent run of success.

Sounds fine to me.....a guy like A-roid should be banned from the game not for PED use but for his stupidity and arrogance after the fact.  There have been a lot of guys who used and then said yup i did it and i moved on but he fought it all the way then finally admitted it when he had no other choice and said he was gonna go clean and now this.....Braun on the other hand got off on a technicality and he knows it.

 

If i was commissioner you get a 100 game suspension for the first failed test and yoru contract has a club option to be voided and 2nd failed test your are out for 3 years of any MLB baseball at any level. 

 

 

And how about those phillies......pinch hitter Mayberry  to tie it with a HR then a walk off grand slam in extra innings....completley crazy but it is against the marlins...

[tipptruck1]

It looks like Braun, Arod and others have some unplaned vacation time to look foward to.

I think if lee has 3-5 yrs left then they should keep him. Kendrick is a nice number 2 or 3 and so is hammels. Hope Halladay is not done but look to next year as a rebound. The two move I think they should make is getting rid of Pabelbon and Adams for younger reliefers or position players.

[flyfisher]

I like the idea of getting of papelbon but he is so automatic in a save situation.

And brown for MVP????? Dude is on fire!!

How bout Hamels throwing a great 7 innings 11 Ks

[flyfisher]

He has the stuff just a few bad outings and minimal run support this year. I would bet he is the best 2-9 pitcher ever lol.

[MCS]

Man first ceuto then Crawford, Moreland and now cargo. Having a great run my team is leading this week but all these injuries plus I am out of dl spots and pickups until next week. Is it just me or are hammies and lats extra sensative this year? Lol

[flyfisher]

Kratz sucks....he even went to my college and goes to my brothers church but if I ever meet him I going to tell him to find a new career....he is bad defensively and makes dumb mistakes.

Not saying he lost the game for the phillies yesterday but he didn't help.

[Gone_Phishin]

Holy crap, the Crew actually strung a few wins together.

I've been meaning to post this since Halloween:

It's just hard to have any faith in the Reds, if not for a bad call in the 9th yesterday, could very well have been swept by the Cards. They can wail all over bad teams, but put somebody good in front of them and they just go to pieces. Today Votto gets tagged out at third going in standing when he would have been in easliy with a slide, Arroyo forgets the outs and tries to bunt with two outs, it's just like their heads aren't even in the game. And then there's the lack of timely hitting, and that ridiculously overrated bullpen, and defense which both seem to always come apart when you really need them.  Had to vent a little.
