The Biblical King(s) jersey was hideous.

No, that's precisely why I despise the franchise. As a kid growing up in the '80s when the Yankees sucked ass, their "fans" were few and far between, now you've got people out there who have "loved the team since birth" but only when they're winning titles. I've KNOWN people who were Mets fans back then who now swear on a Bible that they are diehard Yankees supporters and always have been.

I love seeing Rivera get beat.

What he said. We have enough offense, and Abreu's a pussy. New York will Bonilla/A-Rod him in no time. Give me Zito or Dontrelle, not a guy whose career highlight was winning a HR derby.

They haven't shown that they are for real already? They have the best record in baseball and the BP's Playoff Odds have them at a 91.7% chance of making the playoffs. I don't think Chicago has the pitching to knock them off this year, unless they make some sort of deal at the deadline. The main concern I'd have if I were the Tigers is that the pitching staff is a potential house of cards. The team is relying a lot on Verlander and Zumaya, who haven't pitched full big league seasons, as well as Rogers and Jones who could literally fall apart any moment. There are some OBP issues in the lineup, but it really hasn't hurt the offense much. Detroit hasn't proven yet to most fans that they can and will win a postseason series or three. There have been many teams that dominated during the regular season and then crashed and burned in the playoffs. The 116 win Mariners and 13/14 of the Braves record setting run squads come to mind

Has he even played in the league in the last few years?

And it only took 13 people to beat the M's tonight

I'm sure one of our Yankee fans will forget this the next time someone strikes out on a borderline pitch and starts trying the whole 13 on 9 woe is me routine.

Beltran with a mammoth Grand Slam for the Mets. His statline right now .277-27-77

At least with little leaguers you can applaud their effort and they're generally happy if they get cookies afterwards. The guys involved in this game are getting paid for this shit. If the Braves blow this 3 run lead they should just forfeit their remaining ~70 games.

Jesse Barfield's son is a douche.

Michelle Wie & Danica Patrick hype. Wake me when either of these bitches actually WINS something.

Do you really need to steal a homer from Chris Woodward and try to break Cliff Floyd's hand? Just lay down and play for tomorrow.

Let's keep in mind the kid took about 10 shots, and airballed the first one. It wasn't strung out over a period of time, and it's easier to maintain a hot streak for a 5 minute period especially when you don't have to play defense and no one is playing defense is on you. It's a manufactured story from start to finish. It's not like they pulled a kid out of the crowd with palsy in one hand and he started jacking up contested hook shot threes that were swishing through the net.

I think they just need to pay for the new Fat Sid's meals.

He needs to just get a hooker and call it a day.

Suspending people who don't want to participate in the AS game seems pretty stupid to me. There's always someone who got "snubbed" who'll gladly go. It's not like the supposed integrity of the game means anything to anyone outside of the Commish's office. Just don't put Manny on the ballot the next year and let him forfeit his bonus for making the team.

He'll be a Yankee, but the Nats will only get some autographed Derek Jeter bats, a Mariano Rivera signed ball, and a replica of A-Rod's MVP trophy from last year.

The Sopranos. Yeah, I said it.

I bet that even though the Knicks now KNOW that LeBron, Wade AND 'Melo will be available in 3 years they still won't start trying to get out of salary cap hell.

Hoffman just robbed Los Mets of hosting the WS and either Beltran or Wright of the MVP. Faggot.

The Mets are really trying to get this home field advantage for the WS.

Does Garner not like Roy Oswalt? How much work does he need to get in this week?

Garner's gotta be happy that the ace from the team leading in the WC race is trying to throw 120 mph in a meaningless game. Devious bastard.

So is the crowd only going to be interested in this game when Jason Bay gets his 2 ABs? Based on the intros this crowd seems completely dead.
