2016 MLB Gamethread

[Northern Star]

I'm rooting for the Nationals because their fans are much better. Unbelievably, they actually show up to the game in the FIRST inning and leave when the game is over! Can you imagine that? Dodgers fans certainly can't.

 

Have you ever driven in L.A. traffic?

[Northern Star]

Early hook for Hill. Maybe too early?

Beltway traffic isn't much better, from what I understand.

Tie game!!

Cubs looking at the Dodgers and saying "you're next" Goldberg style..... that's if they manage to hang on here lol

Nats will not be so easy.

[TylerD]

Ya both could be tough to be honest. Dodgers would be able to make it a series as well.

My bad I think you meant not so easy as in this game isn't over . And yes you are right... This has turned out to be a hell of a game

[Youk Of The Nation]

Your team's entire hope for the season comes down to Wilmer Difo, a name that sounds more like someone who just had their wisdom teeth removed was trying to say Willem Dafoe. You guys are f***ed.

 

Seriously, the Dodgers just brought out Clayton f***ing Kershaw, a guy so nasty he could literally change his middle name to "f***ing" without anyone questioning the decision, and you counter with a guy who made the Major Leagues because "why not"? Was this a Make-a-Wish thing? Did some kid in DC with an inoperable brain tumor ask for one last chance to see the Nationals piss away a chance at moving past the first round of the postseason?

Funny stuff YOTN.

[Bellhorn04]

You have to like Dave Roberts. Using Jensen and Kershaw to get the last 9 outs, I don't think many managers would have gone there. He was like, to hell with tomorrow, I am winning this f***ing game no matter what.

When I lived in LA, it was nearly impossible to get there before the first pitch if you left right after work. You can rag on them leaving by the 7th (which a lot of fans do everywhere), but showing up late is a traffic issue.

Nationals stadium is accessible by Metro. The only way to feasibly get to Dodgers Stadium is by car. People typically work in relative walking distance to the Nationals Stadium. In LA, it's very spread out and the majority of people don't work anywhere near the stadium.

Well said! It paid off and they are advancing! Cubs will be an entirely different animal however but should be a decent series.

I actually think I knew that. I've been by Nationals Park numerous times, the fact that it is inside city limits really makes it easier as well, since you do get all of the public transportation.

It really is a disaster just trying to get to Dodgers Stadium. Then you have to wait to get into the terrible parking lot...

 

It's much easier to get to the Coliseum where the Rams are now playing. If you see people show up in the 2nd Qtr there, then you can complain.

I hate game day for the Jays in playoffs. Everyone around me wears Jays s*** lol and I'm wearing my Sox hoodie and hat getting death looks from people hahaha

I recorded the game and am watching the end of it now. LOL

 

I'll be able to stay up for tonight's game!

Hahaha you will be happy you did. It was a great ending. Tonight game should be good too. As long as The Guardians win

It was a good game. I was pulling for the Nats, but oh well. I'm happy for Dave Roberts.

 

I'm still hoping for a Cubs/Guardians World Series.

 

One thing about the Sox being out of it, these games are so stress free. LOL

[TylerD]

I'm having a cup of tea and beer while watching the game... I'm dangerous folks

That is so the truth. It's actually fun to watch these games and I don't have to smash a hole in my wall when a team loses lmao

[TylerD]

Thinking tonight may be a low scoring game.

[TylerD]

I want Kluber so bad!

[TylerD]

I still want Kluber

No HFA going on in Cleveland tonight.

The Guardians are a 54th percentile team.

[d-money]

How crazy would it be if the Guardians won it all? A city that hasn't won alot would have the nba championship last year and the mlb championship this year.

[a700hitter]

The Guardians are a 54th percentile team.

There are exceptions to that!
