Ask me how to run a good team into the ground.
In other hilarious news, the Padres have scored the most runs in MLB since the All-Star break.

I hate the DBacks for a different reason - winning 90 games in 2007 with a negative run differential :argh:

I find the hate for them here kind of hilarious to be honest

I am from Arizona and want to like them. They're just an awful organization.

2001 was magical though. :allears:

I would rather cheer for the Cubs, knowing that they will never ever win a World Series again because they told some guy with a goat to gently caress off, than unironically become a Cards fan.

Well, maybe if Nelly threw the first pitch for every Cards game. That Nelly guy.. he represents the city big time.

I've always felt that having a reptile name for a team is unbaseballey. Mammals or birds, in some cases fishes, but not reptiles. Ok, maybe insects as I've prayed all my life for a revival of the Spiders. But reptiles? gently caress the Dbacks. Reptiles don't play baseball.

If it was the pirates getting called out on interference yall would be going nuts, there was nothing wrong with that play. The second baseman should have thrown the ball over the runner instead of trying to "make him get down". You guys hate arizona and thats fine but come on.

I don't think anyone here would be arguing that a Pirates player who intentionally blocked a throw shouldn't be called out, and the fact you don't seem to have seen the play makes your criticism seem silly.

I did see the play and guess what guys throw their arms up going into second base every game, and the runner was in the baseline and able to reach the base so get over it you big baby, and yes there would be people bitching.

Okay, then since you did see the play maybe you could explain how you would suggest that Nix "throw over him", given that Nix already steps out of the way of the runner and Ahmed chooses to swerve toward him and throw his arm up? Or what "make him get down" means in the context where a runner is sliding but actively puts his arm up in the path of the ball?

Also I'm sorry that it makes you angry that people get upset when their team is literally cheated out of a baseball game.

I'd get angry, and then I'd realize that it's a private for-profit corporation staffed by people who do not know about me and would not care about me if they knew, and then I'd go back to not caring about "my" team.

In fairness, the baseball team you like could likely lose several more games and still win its division.

Unlike the pirates, who if they make the playoffs, will do so by the skin of their teeth. Even more so if mccutchen misses time.

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Maybe this will make MLB put fines/suspensions in place for pitchers who intentionally hit people and for the managers who order it.

Maybe they should start executing pitchers who throw at batters on purpose. That might work.
