MLB Season 2011

Great addition by the Braves to get Bourne. That guy is stud. Wish the Cards had a true lead-off hitter.

We do, his name is Rafael Furcal.

If he's healthy...you're all good. Love my boy furcy.

That's the big question with him - but I'm REALLY excited to finall have a true leadoff man/ss on this team!

Big win by the Cards last night. Gotta win today!

What was Molina's problem? Geeze.

[MizzouRah]

Ugly game today..

A joke suspension on Molina today. Pete Rose got poked by an ump in the face and shoved him back and got 30 games. Molina went ape s*** on an ump and got 5. MLB must be getting advice from the NHL on suspensions.

That was indeed a spectacle...although 5 games sounds pretty appropriate to me. Molina was extremely animated, but because he didn't really initiative anything too physical, I don't think you can come down extremely hard on the guy. 5 games in a pennant race is pretty significant to the team for sure.

5 seemed ok to me. Buster Olney made a good point that a player 'bumps' an ump & gets 5 games. A pitcher throws at a batter's head, he misses one start. Def doesn't make sense.

Well an ump is different than another player. Physical contact with an ump has usually been considered about as taboo as it comes. I guess there is just a different standard now than in the past. Perhaps the fact that the call was clearly awful and Molina didn't really make a ton of contact with the ump played some role. The spitting aspect I don't buy since a lot of people have spittle fly out of their mouth when they yell. It was pretty clear he did not intentionally spit on the ump.

Good debut by rookie B. Lawrie for the Jays as he went 2-4 at he plate where I thought he looked very comfortable. He did however have some issues with his glove on D, but this kid overall showed a lot of promise.

I agree that the ump is different than another player but 5 games seemed okay to me also. Maybe a wee bit more but I would have not gone higher than 8 or 9.

Pirates losing 10 in a row, 10 games back now, ouch.

It was inevitable. Playing over their heads for 66% of the season was an accomplishment no matter which way you look at it...so it was a successful season regardless.

[greggsand]

I thought the Pirates were a good story this year. Would have loved to see them as a WC team.

Tribe takes the 1st 2 against the Motor City Kitty's and gets right back in it, Rookie Jason Kipnis have a night young man...5-5 ,, 2 run HR,,3 rbi's,,and 4 runs scored. Kids been up for 3-4 weeks and already has 6 dingers. Tribe has surpassed what I thought they could do as most prognasticators had them at the bottom of both leagues,and with Ubaldo Jimenez in the fold for at least 2 yrs.,the future looks bright for the Wahoo's

Yeah, HUGE couple of wins for the Tribe! Especially with Verlander going tonight, I'm glad we took the first two games of this series. And Kipnis, WOW!!! I'm sure the league will figure out how to pitch to him soon enough, but for now, let's enjoy!

Way to jinx yourself Cleveland. Kip gonna break his leg in the next few days. Mark it down.

What a horse Jason Marquis is. After getting hit in the leg with a liner,pitches out of the inning,and 13 pitches later his leg gives out. He was pitching with a broken fibula!!

I always liked that kid coming up through Atlanta's organization. That was ridiculous.

I guess MLB The Show is more realistic than we thought.
