Hell the Cards don't headhunt or takeout slide our players into season ending injuries. Also they've won titles in years where black people weren't banned from baseball.

We totally head hunt and have you forgotten Holliday's bullshit slide in the 2012 NLCS? The NL Central is just a bastion of curmudgeonly play.

Yeah I have a lot of negative emotion right now that I didn't really want to have tonight. I'm going to be a lot happier once baseball is over.

But I think I can stand by what I've said enough to feel safe telling you to go gently caress yourself

Same. This game was always going to end in half tragedy, no-one is arguing the fact that both the Cubs and the Pirates deserve a full playoff series this year.

I play 2nd base in a wood bat league here in Chicago. I started the SAS baseball players thread.

Okay you're dishonest. The slide was intentional, the injury wasnt? You don't do a Ty Cobb Special unless you intend to hurt a dude to scare him off the bag next time. If your argument is he didn't intend to hurt him that badly, lol.

One benefit of the Pirates losing is I won't have to deal with bullshit when I try to leave work anymore

Cars were lined up all the way around Heinz Field today because they weren't letting cars into the parking lot at 3:15 when I was leaving.

Maybe it's just me being sore from the last two years, but I don't understand where the logic of a 1 game 'playoff' came from in sport that has 162 game season. It makes it pretty much a coinflip when every other round is a series. A 3 game series seems like it would be more competitive and fun to watch.

There has been a lot of discussion in MLB about changing the WC format. But it'll likely amount to nothing.

especially up by 4, it's not that huge a lead, mccutchen could've made it 4-3 with one swing, there's no way it was intentional
