The 2007 Major League Baseball Thread

This is great, I can't friggin' wait until Thursday.

However, I am sick and tired of the media, always looking past the Tribe, making excuses for teams that lose against us and all types of bullshit like that. The Cleveland Indians have been rocking the playoffs and kicking all kinds of ass. I'm so pissed at being looked past, the media is so biased, it's not even funny.

Support New York, Boston, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis, or Los Angeles. That's the only viable solution for your anger about the media overlooking your favorite team.

Well the Yankees offered Joe Torre a 1yr deal and he turned it down.

BWAHAHA. Kudos to you Joe for making the brass look like morons. They showed him no respect and he made them pay for it.

[ACCBiggz]

For those curious about the deal...

1 year deal, with one year option. 5 million base salary, 1 million dollar bonus for Divisional Series, Championship Series, and World Series. So had they made the World Series it would be an eight million dollar contract.

Wow, Torre just told Steinbrenner where to stick it. I never thought I'd say this, but Joe Torre is the fuckin' man,

[gunnar hendershow]

I'm going to assume this means Torre's going to retire as well.

Now begins the rumors. Girardi, LaRussa? Who else could be thrown around?

[Mofoticon]

I'd imagine Mattingly is the favorite for the job, although he may not be ready.

Don Mattingly looks to be the initial front-runner. Reports have been conflicting, as Mattingly kinda said he didn't want to replace Torre, but Mattingly's agent reports that he is all but ready for the job.

I wouldn't be surprised it Torre pops up elsewhere, to be honest. He doesn't really strike me as someone who is done managing.

Good for Torre. I don't blame him for leaving since he's finally got the chance to do it.

[Mofoticon]

CC Sabathia is proving yet again that he doesn't have the mind to be a big game pitcher...At this point, i'm not comfortable giving him 15-20 mil per if he's going to suck like this come playoff time.

[ACCBiggz]

If it weren't for C.C. they wouldn't be in the playoffs, so stop bitching. And right now it is only 2-1.

I see the Red Sox in 7 now, just because it would be very typical if the Indians blow this series.

[Lowerdeck]

Papelbon's in. We're going back to Boston...

[naiwf]

WTF was Papelbon on during that dance? :lmao: :lmao:

[ACCBiggz]

I saw the dance last night on Conan, Buck saved it for the show. And does anyone know if Buck said "Jub-Jub" during the broadcast?

[MalaCloudy Black]

AW NUT BUNNIES.

Here's to hoping Cleveland takes it next game.

[Green Demon]

I would be kinda surprised if we blew the rest of the series since I think that if Carmona sinker is going he should do pretty well tommorrow altough with Schilling being a big game pitcher it could be a pitchers duel. If the Series were to go to 7 games the pressure would obviously be on the Indians but I would still feel comfortable with Westbrook after last game and Dice-K didnt look like anything special when the Indians faced him in Cleveland. The person that really needs to step up is Hafner, he looks nothing like the dangerous hitter we had last year and he needs to step his game up if we want to win this series and have a chance if we make it to the next round, I mean something like 5 strikeouts in 2 games cannot be tolerated.

And conversely, Boston needs someone to do something other than Ortiz and Manny. These two cannot carry the team alone. There was some improvement yesterday, just need to see that in Games 6 and 7 too.
