Team Adam's Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Dan Haren has looked horrible this year... I'm starting to wonder if hes hurt b/c hes not at all himself. 26 earned runs in the last 27 innings pitched? Thats very un-Haren-like. I was upset he was getting shelled by the Indians until I saw what Ole' Roy Oswalt was doing for the Rangers agains the ChiSox! Someone call in the ambulance!! Yeeeesh!!

fortplainman Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 no offense to you giants fans, but why in the hell is david wright not starting? i say some other dude on the list and got really pissed. he is having a great year thus far, deserves himself the start IMO.

Team Adam's Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'm gonna have to agree with you there... Wright is having a hell of a year, not taking anything away from Panda b/c hes played extremely well too, but from a 'deserving to start' standpoint I think Wright should have gotten it.

Beemer Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Damn white sox...19-2 what a whoopin! Most ball players will tell you they'd rather lose 19-2 than 1-0. It's just one game. Hopefully the Rangers will win the SERIES - as they've done 6 straight times.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite suprised as well. Usually the NY teams have a HUGE advantage in voting. I guess it's nice to see the left coast get some love but I agree D.Wright should be the starter.

ArmyAcadia09 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Why aren't Hamilton and Dunn in home run derby? Supposed to be highest average right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Why aren't Hamilton and Dunn in home run derby? Supposed to be highest average right? Hamilton was invited but he declined. I don't know about the big Dunkey. I think it's smart of Hammy to decline. He'll never be able to duplicate the magic of a few years ago. Why try? Let that be your legacy. I don't think it has anything to do with average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Double walk-off! Mets walk-off the Phils! Nats walk-off the Stinking G'ints! I love baseball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Why aren't Hamilton and Dunn in home run derby? Supposed to be highest average right? Its purely arbitrary now... the 2 captains for the HR derby teams (Kemp for the NL, Cano for the AL) get to choose their team. Should be a good one. My boy Jumbo Trumbo is in for the AL and all I can say is get ready for a show! Hes currently sporting the longest average HR ball in all of MLB. I make sure to get to the yard early for any game I can b/c to watch him take BP is awesome... dude rakes! I'm excited to see what Stanton does on the NL side... hes got some serious pop in his bat too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Is Giancarlo Stanton the same as Mike Stanton? Did he change his name to sound more....sleek and aerodynamic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Is Giancarlo Stanton the same as Mike Stanton? Did he change his name to sound more....sleek and aerodynamic? Yep - same dude. If I understand correctly - Giancarlo was ALWAYS his first name. He just went by Mike. He decided to start going by his real first name in order to score better w/ the babes. Because being a MLB player just isn't enough anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 So as I texted Mook earlier... I am all kinds of geek'd up about the HR Derby tonight, so lets have a little fun. How about a little guessing game to win some Brilliant Glaze? Guess the total number of HR's hit in all rounds combined. Closest without going over wins a 16oz Brilliant Glaze and their choice of red machine pad or Americana app. Tie breaker: Pick a player... ties will be broken by which player had more total HR's. Your guess has to be posted BEFORE 5pm PST today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBlack151 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I have a feeling Cano is going to do well again but I'm going to have to take Mark Trumbo as well at 59. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
