This year I'm trying to get into baseball brehs, I understand the rules and shyt but I just need a team to follow. Last year I watched the world series for the most part and got hooked. I'm from the northwest and the Mariners suck ass from what I hear and have been terrible for years so I ain't trying to make them my squad. Help brehs, even copped MLB the show to get me more familiar, it don't come until tomorrow tho

Being a fan of a team that is usually terrible fukking sucks. The lows are horrible and sometimes it feels like there's no hope. But then you get that one random 3, 4 game winning streak in the middle of May and that shyt feels amazing. You start visualizing winning pennants and rings and shyt. Then your whole season collapses like 2 months later.

But in the end you realize how much you care about those lovable losers and you go through the heartache all over again the next season.

One day they'll start getting good, real good and you can say you were there through the highs and lows It's a magical feeling.


It's painful, but worth it. Believe me.

Joe West's strike zone is atrocious.

Lowe got a strikeout on a pitch six inches off the plate. Next pitch is right down the middle of the plate and called a ball.

Umps stole a win from the Jays...lol at them reversing a slide at second and saying it led to that error at first lolol...

Worst call I've seen in awhile and it was replayed

LMAO, the new slide rule just cost the Blue Jays the game. Bases loaded, 1 out Encarnacion up. He hits a chopper to 3rd. Goes to 2nd out, throw wide at 1st, 2 runs score to make it 4-3. Bautista sliding into 2nd grabbed the 2nd basemen's foot as he was trying to throw. They reviewed it, overturned the play on the field. Double play ends the game. 3-2 Rays win. Crazy.

instant replay is ruining the integrity of the game,

 

[MikelArteta]

instant replay is ruining the integrity of the game,

They decided that lil nudge on his ankle caused that throwing error...which is ridiculous...horrible call and horrible interpretation of what that rule is supposed to do....Jays got hosed...
