  • I wanted a lead tonight for verlander. Springer got us the lead and verlander has been great



    1-0 through 5
  • Ugly inning so far for Verlander.
  • hit utley with a slider. gave up the sac fly on the slider.



    these WS balls are wack. Every pitcher dodgers and astros that throw a slider are getting hit



    ughhh always the sixth inning for the dodgers.
  • welp heres the dumb national league rules I cant stand. You now have to decide to leave in the ace pitcher or pinch hit.



    Let pitchers do what they do. American League pitchers get no hitting experience. Extreme disadvantage. Id personally have the pitcher bunt reddick to second here but cant trust verlander to do that since he hasnt really hit his entire career



    I use to be a diehard NL fan. But the move to the AL has openend my eyes and I have seen the light. NL rules are dumb. Only astros and old brewers fans cant have this level of experience having their team in both sets of rules.
  • holy shit quest you Prefer the dh? Thats crazy you have never said anything about it.



    I also want to see big fat un talented dh's hit for sissy pitchers as well. Who cares about playing both sides of the ball? /sarcasm 



    now please tell me all the reasons why Im wrong. 



    Looking forward to a game 7

    hmm..our big fat untalented dh was our starting catcher last year, and backup catcher who started 1/3 of our games this year. Its too bad your sissy pitchers get to bat all year and work on it with in game experience. 



    A pitcher isnt the same as any other player. There is no need for both sides of the ball. You are a pitcher or a position player. There is a clear defining line there. Position players are hitters. Its not offense and defense. Its pitching and hitting. Dont know why im even acknowledging your garbage though. You're a bandwagon california sports fan anyway. Im sure you were a giants fan the years they won. If the dodgers were in the AL youd have a different opinion. Whatever league your next winner is in. Ive seen both leagues as a fan of one team. AL rules create a better product.

    Dont give me that shit. You dont know me. My family has had season tickets for the giants for 30 years, and up until the new stadium in santa clara, season tickets to the niners since 1976.  I went to 5,000 attendance games at candle stick probably before you were born. I still wear my niners shit no matter how garbage they are.  Im not even a fucking dodgers fan (giants) but actually like guys like kershaw, bellinger and pedersen and wouldn’t mind seeing kershaw get a ring. 



    Just because I don’t rattle off a bunch of bullshit know-it-all facts reguritated from the bleacher report doesn’t mean I don’t know what I’m talking about. 





    So please, keep preaching about your sports knowledge from behind your PC. Im sure someone will hear your complaining about the DH and make sweeping changes because of all your knowledge. Just be prepared for me to talk shit either way. 



     
  • lmao bleacher report? That site is garbage? you consider that site gaining knowledge? LOLOLOL



    dude you admitted in teh nba thread to being on the warrior bandwagon ....do i need to quote your post again.



    If you are a lifelong giants fan that makes this even worse. You actually rooting for the dodgers? A division rival? You said you were rooting for kershaw to get a ring? Thats like me rooting for the eagles redskins or giants in the NFL , The rangers in MLB, and mavs or spurs in the NBA
  • Roberts told Kershaw that he would be the one to deliver the final out tomorrow. Really wish Verlander could've gotten the run support but game 7 as a neutral doesn't get better. Just please don't be a blowout.

    Never read it. Other than the news on my USA today app, I don’t read sports news.  What site do the arm chair quarterbacks read now-a-days?  



    I dont give a shit about the NBA. If my local team is doing good, I pay attention. Sue me. You make it seem like that makes me lesser or something. I dont read sports reports all day. I even went to game this year, wild I know. 



    Im not rooting for the dodgers, I don’t really care who wins. I have respect for Kershaw, and appreciate good ball players, not that I need to explain myself or anything. I don’t take sports as serious as you obviously do, you get so salty lol 



    Just know Im still going to chime in, whenever I feel like it  



    edit: since you edited your post, root for whoever you want IDGAF. Just please continue to post with an air of arrrogance over your knowledge, its very entertaining.

    You Feel me?



    I am a fan of elite athletes, and if the giants are playing the dodgers of course I want SF to win- but I know Kershaw is a good dude and have a ton of respect for him as a pitcher.  When my teams are garbage and sitting at home on the couch, Ill root for whoever I want (CA  > TX)



    Ill be happy to root for Garoppolo too  



    Kind of wanted HOuston to win because of the hurricane too, so Im happy either way.  Oh and because they have been trash for so long- nice to throw them a bone.   Plus I bet Texas is still butthurt from when the Giants destroyed the Rangers in 2010- Fun fact I was at game 2, when the Giants slaughtered them 9-0  
  • rooting for a division rival. Barf



    I have giants fans coming all over the astros forums im on rooting hard for houston. Giants hate the dodgers.



    Embarrassing



    This is the definition of being a casual fan. You arent a diehard giants fan then fi you are just rooting for athletes. sorry bud



    When the game is a random vs a rival. Im rooting for the random team every time. If its two rivals. I root for a rainout and ignore it. Astros were in the National League for years. I still freaking hate all those NL central teams.



    Ive watched every astros game for 20+ years. Like hell if I root for the rangers/al west teams  or NL Central teams. You're talking shit to me? ......Giants fan rooting for the dodgers. Ive now heard it all.





    Likewise the hardcore ranger fans are all over the forums trolling astros and rooting for the dodgers. Its very illogical to be heavily invested in a team , and then root for their rival





    And guess what. I wasnt rooting for the rangers in 2010. Who gives a shit about texas vs california. That must matter to casual fans

    Only thing embarrasing is going to a different teams forum to talk shit on a team that won 104 games, while your team was under .400.



    That and being a member of more than one houston forum HAHAHAHAHAHAHA "Man I wish we still had Niekro instead of Verlander"



    Keep calling me a casual while you spend 10 hours a day scrolling on the internet to be a "hardcore" sports fan, no body gives a shit.

    Whats confusing?  The part where giants fans go to a houston forum to talk shit to dodgers fans (and the fact that its lame as fuck)?



    Or the part where you keep referring to me as a "casual", no matter how much I don't really care?  "Oh no a guy on the internet told me Im not a diehard fan because I have respect for good players! What shall I do?" lol

    your bringing up joe neikro? Thats was 30+ years ago. Yeah we are talking about him. Nobodys mad at ace verlander. It blows that we had to take him out for a pinch hitter. What a waste of talent in baseball. We wanted him to stay in the game.



    Its the part about you shit talking me trying to troll me, and you apparently dont even care about your own rivalry. 



    Dodgers Giants is one of the biggest rivalries in baseball. Its like a red sox rooting for a yankee. It makes no fuckin sense. Either you have reached a new level of trolling or you just are a casual, "Mr. Season ticket holder". Hard to believe you could care about a team that much and invest that much money and then root for a rival.



    Im not trying to sound superior man. When it comes to sports, its the fuckin truth. Im laughing my ass off over here. I know my shit.



    No one spends 10+ hours a day on sports forums. I watch the games. I pay attention. I like detail and knowing why things happen. I like sports.  One could question then why you are on here so much. Its the same thing. Its what you like to do

    Laugh all you want, you are delirious.  If its Giants vs Dodgers, of course I will take the Giants. I am not actively rooting for the dodgers. Want me to take a pic with my "Fuck LA" shirt?  The Giants are garbage this year, and probably will be next year too.  WIll I still go to 10-15 games?  Yep.  Sorry if me not *actually* caring about who wins the world series isn't hardcore enough for you.    I don't care for Puig, eithier or gonzalez at all.  Dave Roberts I still have a bit of a soft spot for because of his history the Giants. If kershaw gets a ring, I wont be upset.  Joc pedersen grew up local to me, I know people that know his family and they are good folks so good for him if they win.  If houston wins, I'm fine with that too.  They have been trash for a long time, everyone wants the underdog to win.



    Giants fans that go to a houston forum to trash the dodgers are pathetic.  Just like the ones that stabbed that LA fan a while ago, all pathetic. I know its a heated rivalry, taking it that far is lame.   I don't even remotely care about your opinion, especially if you still harbor hate for NL central teams years after being in a different league. Rooting for a rainout? That right there is laughable. Maybe you need to log off the sports forums and fantasy leagues for a while and go outside.  



    Oh and "Im not trying to sound superior" and "I know my shit" in the same sentence don't mesh amigo.

    comparing fans on a blog hating a team to ones that stabbed someone? You just said taking it to that level is lame. Basically saying that level of fandem has anything to do with one another. A little team tribalism is ok. Stabbing is not ok. I get it now. I know what you are doing. You are trying to relate sports die hard fandem to being a lunatic. No, the person who stabbed someone isnt what diehard sports fans are like. Thats what a criminal with a screwloose is like.



    You actually thinking fantasy sports and being a diehard fan with actual knowledge takes all that time is ridiculous lol.  You are presuming how I alot my time. I run fantasy leagues yes. It keeps me in tune with the nba and nfl. I watch my teams games with family or friends. During the games or work downtime I read some forums and pretty damn smart sports people. I might play a sports podcast while Im working on something. I like sports.  Just like how you log on to Nintendoage and like games. This whole convo started with you trying to provoke and troll me. I was just ranting about the AL NL rules. Didnt direct it at anyone. You came at me calling me arrogant or whatever. I was stating my opinion. 



    I really dont understand why you have such a hard time with some "inferiority" complex vs me with sports. You try to provoke me in the discussions all the time out of nowhere. If you self admittedly dont follow things like I do then why do you have such a hard time with me knowing more about a sport than you. I should. Because I follow sports more than you. You know more about xbox than me. Thats for sure. I have an xbox one but Im not a diehard xbox fan like you.

     
  • Guys, I'm so happy for a game 7! I'm hoping Darvish pitches for LA and does well. I would say that I don't care who wins, but with all the crap the Astros talked this year against the Rangers I'm going for LA. I won't be crying myself to sleep if Houston wins however. They have put together an excellent team worthy of a game 7 in the WS. I'm just happy for one more intense baseball game this year until I start counting down the beginning of the next season. It's been a great year of baseball. Can't wait for the conclusion of the season.

    When the hell have I been an xbox diehard fan? Lol I have over a thousand NES games to like 60 games across all 3 microsoft consoles, but that is beside the point.



    I know you are knowledgeable about sports, thats what makes it fun. Ive said it before, Your posting style when it comes to sports is super dismissive and thats why I like to respond. You just told me I wasn't a diehard fan because I don't take the SF vs LA rivalry super serious lol I have a good friend who is diehard LA and We talk ball civily all the time

    First off who said I cant talk civily to another sports fan rival? Ill talk to anyone who has a good argument and points.



    All Im saying, is if you start talking shit to me. You better know your shit. I guess you're just being a troll and not really rooting for the dodgers. You start with the California vs Texas thing. Then you dont care, then your a diehard giants fan who likes the dodgers players. You flip flop all over the place and are very hard to follow what your real point is.



    The point wasnt about xbox. It was the point that I dont talk shit about topics I dont know.



    Its alright dude, just admit  your a filthy casual, and we can move on  

     
  • Aww yeah game 7, lets goooooo!



    I hope its another 12-11 game, this series has been pretty wild.

    Lol feel free to consider me what ever you want, Im not going to change the way I follow giants/niners at this point in my life at all. 
  • Slow-mo of the fan missing the homerun catch and it hitting the lady behind him. Ouch.

  • Wow, no personal stake in the World Series but I was really hoping for LA to come back from 1-0 last night and it was fun to watch after Trick-or-Treating in the ball busting cold. Game 7 should be fun, I think I'm pulling for LA as I get the vibe Houston has had the upper hand.

    You can just see the look in the guy's face, like "this is it, i'm finally gonna catch a foul ball!" then he totally miffs it. Dream dashed, and it smacked some poor woman in the gut. At least the Dodgers won the game.
