2012 MLB Thread

[Guest mr. potato head]

More importantly, what does Ray Durham think? Does he want all those double plays overturned now that an illegitimate commie sympathizer was involved?

But he is the manager of a team in a city with a huge Cuban population. That's the demo they're trying to bring in to that big new ballpark of theirs. Five games seems excessive, but he really needs to stop and think before talking. It seems like a stretch for Ozzie, though.

Again, it's a case of nobody paying attention to what he actually said and instead getting riled at the Cliff's Notes.

What the people should have read:

"…I respect Fidel Castro. You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that [expletive] is still there."

What people apparently read:

"CASTROS, GOOD. CUBANS, LOL."

He respects Castro's tenacity and stubbornness, not his policy. He's separated the man from the politician, which is perfectly fine.

This.

Self releasing a statement supporting a suspension is kind of ridiculous too considering MLB sent Orioles to Cuba.

And they also let Cuba come into the ballpark that forever changed baseball and WIN.

Meh, Guillen's probably as good as gone >_>

[gunnar hendershow]

No he's not because the entire quote is being taken well out of context. This is being done as a token gesture more than anything.

Yeah that's the way I see it. Even though people are calling for him to be fired.

Former AL Rookie of the Year and All Star closer Neftali Feliz debuted tonight as a starter and was pretty dominant. 7.0 innings, 0 runs.

Indians-White Sox game is so windy you can barely hear the announcers. Definitely not something I'm used to while watching telecasts in Texas.

MLB's still pissed that Cuba didn't keep them.

"And it's a packed house here in Cleveland!"

Indians/White Sox game has an attendance of what looks like 27. It's like real life Major League.

[EddieG]

Wooo, Red Sox - Bluejays won the viewer's choice over here. GO JAYS!

I saw this last night as I was flipping through the channels. Look at what being an Oriole does to a man.

That about sums it up. You should see the fans.

More importantly than that the White Sox put a 10-spot on the Indians today. Even though I thought the bullpen was going to blow it.

Loving this 3rd inning so far. 3 runs already with guys on 1st and 2nd and only 1 out

[thatshortguy]

Braves finally string together some wins, Chipper's back in the lineup, and the home opener's tonight. May be a slightly emotional evening in Turner Field this Friday the 13th.

Further on the bright side, we're a half game better than the Cubs. My only realistic goal for the Braves' 2012 season (finish better than Srar's Cubs) is already looking good.

This is gonna be a long year in Boston...

Kuroda pitched a gem today.
