10/7/2015 NL Wildcard Game Cubs vs Pirates

[Brandon]

Who knew Rodriguez part time models?

 

[laagamer]

Soria mows um

[Angel Oracle]

Seth Rollins punches better.

[laagamer]

And where does Sean R play anywhere near good enough to act like that?

I think you at least need to be an average MLB player to tantrum like a little kid.

Agreed. It's like he's on roids but without the positive baseball results.

[mancini79]

What the hell are you taking about , AO?!

 

Just google the name of the person AO is referring to and add "WWE". Works every time.

[OregonLAA]

A 98 win team shouldn't be out after 1 game. These games are exciting, but this is the 2nd year in a row the Pirates ran into a unstoppable force in Bumgarner and Arieta. Just seems there should be another way

[Hollyw00d]

Arrieta is on one siick roll

[Hollyw00d]

Last chance for the pirates to use their testicles

[jimbo]

So if the Angels had to face Jake, would it result in this exact outcome? I think we could take 'em.

[Angel Oracle]

Missed my prediction by that much.

[Hollyw00d]

What a BEAST you are arrieta

[beatlesrule]

Well I was very wrong.

I agree that it sucks.

[the dude abides]

God, I hope the Cubs don't win it all.

 

Their fans will be as insufferable as Red Sox fans... probably worse.

[the dude abides]

Screw you Arrieta!

 

Is that the man-whore from Deuce Bigelow?

sorry but,

people that pretend that fans of one team are genetically different from fans of another team are delusional. everyone's the same, maybe if lgbt rights and dinosaurs came up a lot in sports you'd have a point, but otherwise it's poopypants.

So are you implying that demographics have nothing to do with how people are? We're all the same here in the US?

[seenoevil]

Joe Maddon a real coach

[Troll Daddy]

Did Joe even have to manage that game ... AO could of managed and won tonight.

[Troll Daddy]

The pitching performance tonight and last night is reason why you need a legit Ace to contend in the playoffs. This would be my #1 priority in the off season.

[Brandon]

Joe Maddon a real coach

 

Agreed. Top notch coaching and decision to send Arrieta out there.

[JoJo26]

Joe Maddon a real coach

I wish he was in Anaheim...

[tomsred]

He could have managed that one from his living room.

 

Well these two playoff games have sure highlighted the need to have a true #1 lock down starter, something we don't have.  In a one game or even 5 game series this is pretty crucial.  Eppler may want to bump that one up on his list of priorities.

that's why i made the quip about lgbt and dinosaurs, those type of beliefs are the thing that separate us, but sports where we pretend to be different and divided is actually where we're all basically the same. 

 

the point i'm making is the same point that the south park guys make with their "rabble rabble" recurring theme.

 

we root for the ca. team, somebody else roots for the illinois team, and still another roots for the new england team, etc. etc.

 

the idea that those guys are jerks and we're not is laughably naive and quite literally mirrors schoolyard social politics.

 

i'm cheering for the angels because i choose to, we all have different reasons why. the funny thing to me is that the cubs fans cheer for the cubs for identical reasons within the group dynamic, but somehow they're different from us and the difference has to be more than it simply being another team, therefore they're jerks. if i said nothing further at this point someone would reply with evidence of their "jerkiness", but it would all add up to anecdotal experience and confirmation bias.
