MLB '09 Regular Season Thread

Just bought MLB.TV for the rest of the year so I can watch me some Hawk on the road!

Good choice. MLB.tv is definitely worth the money for baseball nuts.
 
I have Extra Innings at home, because I like watching sports on TV because I get sidetracked online, but its nice to have access to away broadcasts, HD (which I don't get because my cable company is rubbish with the Sports on Demand stuff) and I can travel with it. Good buy all around.
 
The Sox and Cubs are destined to be .500 against each other.
 
Today was the best Cubs win all season. They came back and won after being down 7-0.
 
I just wish to declare Diamondback (anything but) relief pitcher to be the most useless pitcher in the history of baseball. He's blown more leads than a porn star has blown dicks.

:blowup:
 
A win for both Chicago teams: a good day for baseball.

Even if neither win was pretty, a W is a W :)
 
Yeah, they've been testing hearts (literally) all over the place.
 
Now that the sever is no longer getting rapped like a submissive whore, I can finally say "yay sox win"
 
I love the MLB network, the other night I watched the game from 1997 when Randy Johnson struck out 19 White Sox. With his decreases in control and velocity I had kind of forgotten how good the "Big Unit" was. Also got to listen to the "Hawk" for the first time, that guy is hilarious:lol:.
 
Hawk Harrelson is the pinnacle of Human Sports Casting.

I like to think of him as Ken "Captain non-Sequitur" Harrelson fighting sound sentence structure since 1990:lol:.
 
Back home tonight, finally. Get Thome 4 or 5 regular at bats and lets kill some NL teams.
 
rofl @ the Red Sox / Nationals game. Its like 95-5 Red Sox fans.
 
What's funny is the fact that a lot of Red Sox fans have adopted the Nationals. The biggest Red Sox message board has a movement called Natstown dedicated to quite possibly the worst team in the history of baseball, it's almost as if they put 9 outfielders out there every night.
 
Watched another "all time great game" on MLB Network last night, this time Kerry Woods 20 strikeout game. Couple of thoughts;
1- if Mark Prior and Kerry Wood stayed Greg Maddox like healthy, the Cubs have a World Series ring.
2- I forgot how young Kerry Wood was in that game (his 5th start) and his stuff was filthy.
3- The 1998 Astro's uniforms looked incredibly cheap.
4- I had almost forgotten completely about Derek Bell.
