2011 MLB Season

[Deadlift]

Joey Votto continues to be great, hitting HRs #25 and 26 (a walk-off), yesterday.

Casey McGehee has really been playing well lately for the dominant Brewers. He's turned his season around.

Texas ran into the Boston Red Sox buzzsaw, getting swept, but, thankfully, they took 2 of 3 from their division rival Angels' in the weekend series. Hamilton hit HR #18 on Sunday.

Justin Verlander is baseball's first 20 game winner this season.

Speaking of the Angels, Peter Bourjos is having a great year in CF for the team and is rapidly becoming one of the best defensive OFs in baseball. It's a lot of fun watching great athletes like him, Brett Gardner and Drew Stubbs in the field and on the bases.

Vile and Viler

I hope that many CF baseball fans got a chance to watch the Nyjer Morgan olympics last week. Kind, gentle, thoughtful Nyjer Morgan showed why the Wash Nationals' brass finally ejected him and why the suckers in Milwaukee were stupid to add him to roster. He had this horrible snarling match against a superior White pitcher, one Chris Carpenter of the St Louis Cardinals. Carpernter struck out the miserable Morgan with a high fastball, and was treated to Morgan swearing obscenities and pulling the tobacco wad out of his mot and throwing it at Carpenter. It led to bench-clearing hostility.

Njyer Morgan is one of those great pimps of mindless ******* savagery in American sport. But such an animal is often a coveted commodity in the Jew-dominated pro sports world. Morgan was celebrated in the Washington Nationals' roster along with fellow gang-bangers Elijah Dukes, Lastings Milledge, Dmitry Young, and Chrisitan Guzman. The Nats' early days in DC was thus constructed to fulfill a promise to the DC City Council and "community leaders" to make the team "look like DC." They succeeded. Only after the Nats stunk for four years did they eject the five Black criminals in favor of real baseball players. It's unknown to me why a franchise like the Milwaukee Brewers, reasonably well conducted and funded, would want to pollute its otherwise winning roster with a Negro maniac like Nyjer Morgan. Only in America.

The San Juan Tigres (they play their "home" games in Detroilet) have put the hammer down on the rest of their division with some hot hitting by their all espanol line-up and nearly all white pitching staff. They are on quite a roll and if they stay hot will be a force to reckon white. The only white everyday "star" was Brendon Boesch and he's out for the year with an injury. I really want to follow Tiger baseball but I don't feel any allegiance to the team.

 

[Van_Slyke_CF]

Tim Wakefield with career win #200!!!

 

[Deadlift]

Big win for Texas today over Cleveland's ace Danny Masterson. Josh Hamilton had 3 hits, including HR #20!

 

[Deadlift]

Grand slam for Josh Hamilton!!

 

[Deadlift]

Hamilton, again, with the HR! He gave Texas some cushion and they won 7-4.

Jay Bruce had a walk-off HR for Cinci!

 

[Deadlift]

Josh Hamilton with 4 hits, including his 23rd HR in a close win! And, the Orioles defeat the "Angels".. which gives Texas a 4.5 game lead in the division!

Right now, the "postseason picture" isn't looking that bad. With Atlanta, Milwaukee and Arizona -- the NL is looking much Whiter than the AL. Without the contributions of several White players during the season, Arizona wouldn't be in the position that they are in.

Atlanta has several good stories:

--Chipper has been pretty good, and is showing good power. Uggla heated up. Freddie Freeman.

--Tim Hudson has 15 wins, and super-closer Craig Kimbrel has 45 saves.


To the Black Stars File (NL):

--Prince Fielder, Ryan Howard and Justin Upton.

--For Atlanta, expect Michael Bourn to get a bunch of praise, maybe even more than Jason Heyward.

--And, Mayberry has been heating-up for Philly.

 

[Deadlift]

Atlanta is collapsing...

I really would like to see them in the postseason.

 

[Tom Iron]

It'll be interesting to see if Clayton Kershaw wins the Cy Young Award. He had one heck of a year.

Tom Iron...

 

[Deadlift]

Texas Texas Texas!! Texas wins the AL West!! And, for good measure, Hamilton hit his 25th HR!

 

[Van_Slyke_CF]

Jacoby Ellsbury with a 30/30 season!

Ian Kinsler needs one more SB for his second 30/30 year.

 

[Deadlift]

UNREAL... St. Louis loses to Houston (of all teams..) in the bottom of the 10th, thus keeping the disgraceful Braves' alive with 2 games remaining! Oh, the drama!!

 

[Deadlift]

Both the AL and NL wildcard races are all tied up, with one game remaining. St. Louis fielded a Whiter lineup today, but part of it is because (overrated) Rafael Furcal is injured.

I imagine the general view is that the winner of the NL wildcard will lose in their opening playoff series because of significant pitching woes/injuries. Be that as it may, it's hard to stomach all the Pujols worship..

and, obviously, Atlanta just gave everything away.:cry:

 

[Deadlift]

Yankees' are crushing Tampa's David Price...

J.J. Hardy hits his 30th HR to give Baltimore a 2-1 lead over Boston.

 

[Deadlift]

...disgraceful, just disgraceful. And, Herschiser had a very disturbing crush on Michael Bourn. He's had crushes on other bros, too. Has anyone noticed that? He won't stop talking about things like "speed."

 

[Deadlift]

Theo Epstein really knows how to build a team, doesn't he?

The Adrian Gonzalez pick up wasn't bad at all, but locking a ton of money into Carl Crawford was plain stupid. If you look at what transpired for them, Jacoby Ellsbury was a monster and Pedroia had some excellent hot streaks, and they still don't make the playoffs?..

Because, it wasn't just pitching failures that they had (like Boston couldn't have won some of the games that they lost in the past month?); They had some offensive problems, too. J.D. Drew, where are you? haha

 

[Colonel_Reb]

I really didn't think St. Louis had a chance as recently as a week ago. The Braves collapse was complete, otherwise St. Louis wouldn't have had a shot. Lots of ticked off Braves fans around here.

 

[Freethinker]

Glad to see the White friendly Rays make it in improbable fashion. The Sox have been "darkening" up a bit anyway. Crawford is a bum.

As for the NL, the Cards have alot of White talent. I really like Lance Berkman and his resurgence. However, without Adam Wainwright all year, I just don't think they have enough pitching to make the World Series. I don't understand all the hate for the Braves coming from some people here. Sure they have Jason "Hank Aaron" Heyward and Michael Bourn getting far too much hype but they also have stars like Brian McCann, Chipper Jones and Dan Uggla. They may also have the top 3 rookies in the NL: Craig Kimbrel (who is a lock to win the award), Freddie Freeman and Brandon Beachy. Also, youngster Mike Minor is no slouch. Atlanta should have a very good future.

Yeah, I like a lot of the Braves too. They seem pretty friendly to white players and putting them forth as stars and team leaders.

I was suprised the Braves fell apart to the extent they did, although everyone must have been considering the historic nature of their collapse. The bullpen was tremendous almost the whole season, but the age of some of the key guys and the workload they had this year should have been a warning sign for all heading into September.

It was really nice seeing the outstanding season Uggla put together over 162 games, and to have Chipper gut out another tough year and put up nice numbers.

 

[Van_Slyke_CF]

Stephen Strasburg put up a 6 inning/10K performance yesterday and gives up hope of a big season in '12.

Jeff Samardzija had a solid year for the Cubs out of the 'pen and I saw him a number of times this year throwing in the uppper 90s.

Jay Bruce and Joey Votto had outstanding seasons for the Reds overall, but Drew Stubbs needs to cut back on the Ks to become a better player to go with his super speed in center and his SBs.

Not long ago I can't imagine much of anything to talk about positive concerning the Angels, but I'm really high on the futures of Mark Trumbo, Mike Trout and Peter Bourjos.

 

[Deadlift]

Yeah, Brian McCann in the postseason would have been a 1,000 times preferable to Yadier Molina....

BTW, are you all sure that Mike Trout isn't a "lightskin?" Shortly after Jeter had his 3,000th hit, CBS Sports came out with an article comparing Trout to Jeter, and suggested that Trout could be a "similar phenom." And, when Trout was sent to the minors several weeks ago (afterwards, he was called back up again), CBS threw a tantrum! And, when's the last time the MSM put so much hype behind a "White hitter" that is between the age of 18 and 20? I'm very cautious here.

Josh Willingham deserves a shout-out. He had a career season (in 136 games). His strikeouts were up, but, then again, he WAS the "Oakland As"...

Fantasy Analysis

Willingham had a stellar season in Oakland as he belted 29 home runs and 98 RBI for the A's. Both those are career highs for Willingham. While he should be fine heading into spring training, Fantasy owners should check in to make sure this isn't anything serious. Willingham would be worth grabbing in the later rounds on Draft Day in 2012 as he has some Fantasy appeal.

Mike Trout looks to be very white. Freddie Freeman totally outperformed Jason Heyward too.
