The Royallypwned 2012 Major League Baseball Thread (Giants WS Champs)

Chipper is taking Kemp's spot so maybe Harper will make it anyway

Panda absolutely should not be starting, but Posey has a legit claim. He is excellent defensively (as is Ruiz), he hits well in the hardest park in the majors, his power is equal to Ruiz. his average is lower than Ruiz but he draws walks almost twice as often as Ruiz so that is kind of a wash, and he calls the pitches for a top tier staff on a team that is winning because of its pitching.

Frankly, if anyone deserves to start over Posey, it would be Yadier Molina, not Ruiz. Molina is the best defensive catcher in baseball, and his offensive stats are equal to both of the others.

Why? One caught a perfect game and has good numbers in one of the hardest to hit in parks. The other plays in a bandbox and only has slightly better numbers (yes, he has a higher batting average - but the other numbers are mostly equal).

Make that 6HR away and 6 home

Looks like Miami and Milwaukee had themselves a wild one today. 13-12 in 10 innings. Sheeeeeeesh.

I bet Mariner's fans weren't happy seeing the two pieces of the Erik Bedard trade blow em up today. Jones with an upper deck homer and Tillman shut em down.

[/COLOR]Man. Thought for sure that was going to be Papi's 400th right there.

Shame he got it during a loss. No excuse for getting swept by Oakland.

[TheDoyler23]

Let's go AL!

Verlander had one too many Crunch Wrap Supremes from Taco Bell

[skinsfan_1215]

Woo NL all over Verlander in the 1st!

[Teller]

Verlander lives to see the 2nd inning....barely.

NL stix, FTW.

Looks like the Mets will have home-field advantage in the World Series!

The NL MVP has entered the game in center.

What did you guys think of Cano getting booed last night at the home run derby last night? Personally I thought it was pretty funny and deserved since Cano originally said he was going to pick a KC player. I'm surprised about all the broadcasters/sports personalities crying about it and bad mouthing KC fans.

Mike Trout is so effing amazing.

Mike Trout is so effing amazing.

That Pujols contract is gonna come back to bite the Angels if Trumbo and Trout are as awesome as they appear.
