Now we get 400 Moneyball advertisements. What real baseball fan would go see this? Ok, maybe A's fans are excused but really? Maybe when it gets to TBS I'll watch it, but not before.

Hey Berkman, it helps to actually hit the bag.

He didn't?

I don't know how they got these stars to sign on for a nothing story like this. Unless they completely Disney-fied it. Nick Swisher gets a Cy Young and the A's win the Super Bowl.

Plus, JZilla listens to Paw.

 

[Raider Nation]

Wow, Buck's voice really is gone. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Cabrera and all the "black Mexicans" look like they are planning their night on the town over there.

 

[Premier]

Boy Fox really crams a #### load of ads into their actual game broadcast.

 

[Raider Nation]

The NL's staff is pretty silly.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Pinieda is the next great ace. Man he has wicked stuff.

 

[shadyridr]

Pinieda is the next great ace. Man he has wicked stuff.

yep I was shopping him around my keeper league but I just dont think I can do it. I think it moved

 

[shadyridr]

Granderson is the next great ambassador of the game. What a likeable guy

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Josh Hamilton good job. Oh, Joe Buck go suck a ####! Can't you just say Hamilton batted 354 and leave it at that? That is the truth! Truth!

 

[Raider Nation]

Clippard is about to throw a pitch which travels 800 feet in the other direction.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Granderson is the next great ambassador of the game. What a likeable guy

He's already the best ambassador by a long shot. Quite possibly the most affable professional athlete right now, regardless of sport.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Can someone please set the booth on fire? 5 seconds after McCarver gets done saying that Cliff Lee NEVER misses over the middle and that Gonzalez hits to left field 70% of the time, Lee misses over the middle and Gonzalez crushes it to right center.

 

[Raider Nation]

Pence is such a solid ball player. Shame he's stuck on a dreadful team.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Well that's a terrible job by the 3rd base coach. The left fielder had the ball and was charging when Bautista was just hitting 3rd.

And way to go Cliff. Way to blow it for the NL. You just know that the Braves are going to beat you in the playoffs anyway...

Since Sean Casey has retired, I'll concur.MJD is close though.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Mark Grace that was painful!

 

[Raider Nation]

Boy Fox really crams a #### load of ads into their actual game broadcast.

I'm just hoping to actually see some of the game.

 

[GreatLakesMike]

Enough of Timberlake.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Please stop. This Justin Timberlake thing is unbelievably painful, even if Timberlake is kind is mocking Buck.

Yeah, Johnny Damon could have thrown Bautista out there.

 

[Raider Nation]

WOW!

 

[shamwow!]

No more boos for Fielder, huh?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Three of the five best AL pitchers pitched on Sunday, oops.

 

[jon_mx]

Did you see the look on the guy's face as Fielder's HR bounce in front of him. I think he needs to change his pants.

 

[Raider Nation]

I'll never forget my first year of Roto baseball.

1990. Really had no clue what I was doing. End of the auction, the shark bids $1 on Cecil Fielder. I'm thinking.... WHO? You mean the fat guy who played in Japan last year? Whatever buddy... go nuts! 51 unexpected HRs and 132 unexpected RBIs later, dude ran away with the league.

F MJD. Doesn't even belong in the same conversation as Granderson.

 

[Raider Nation]

Not even fair for a LH batter to face Kershaw. Especially when he has likely never faced him.

 

[scoobus]

Joe Buck sucks.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Joe Buck sucks.

Nepotism gone terribly terribly wrong.

 

[Limp Ditka]

That's the kind of crap that makes me feel old.

Shawon Dunston being a All Star SS was 21 ####### years ago.

 

[[icon]]

Kid cracks me up. Reppin the Memphis Chicks throwback T and busting Buck's balls mercilessly

 

[Raider Nation]

The NL's staff is pretty silly.

No, really. See the horses they still have left in the bully?Bell, Wilson, Hanrahan, Correia and Kimbrel. And little Timmy didn't even pitch.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I wouldn't put Valverde in, just sayin'.

 

[GreatLakesMike]

Half the Reds starting lineup is in the All Star game (I know Rolen was a late add) and they're 2 games under .500.

Yes, the starting rotation (save Cueto) has been that bad.

 

[shadyridr]

Miggy leaves game with strained side Year of the oblique continues

 

[Doctor Detroit]

If Cabrera misses any games because of playing in this ####fest I'm gonna be

 

[Please See Mine]

I hate this Crazy Stupid Love movie.

Hey, I'm Ryan Gosling and I've probably banged more chicks than everyone in the FFA combined. And now I get to have true love, also. GFY.

Well, he did win one playoff series once.

They're going to look real dumb mocking Kenny Williams for a good portion of the movie when he's the one with a ring.

 

[Man In The Box]

Pretty sure Heath Bell is my new favorite player.

 

[Limp Ditka]

I hope Heath Bell just tore a meniscus

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Uhm, that was a lot of man sliding into the pitcher's mound. It looked like he took a nice divot out with his slide. What does he go? Three spins? Three and half spins? He did have some pretty impressive speed.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I have to take Sept 22nd off of work so I can stand in line for Moneyball.

Haven't heard about it. New movie or something?

 

[GreatLakesMike]

Jay Bruce gets a hit here. I think he's back on one of his streaks.
