So the Braves and the Red Sox both fail to make the playoffs. Oh well, better find another team to root for. Other than the Yankees, of course.

seeing great failure is even more fun..

Yes! It is impressive how both teams managed to completely crash out.

trivia fact: what's unique about this nlcs...?

I like how they've colour matched the outfit to your living room.

National League won the all start game 8-0.. power balance shifting?

and @myoptika, we've seen the uniforms, but not heard any results?

Nice work. Some friends of mine are heading over to Germany next weekend for the World Baseball Classic qualifying match between GB and Canada. I wanted to go, but it clashes with my Dad's 60th, sadly.

just watched nice doc on netflix..battered bastards of baseball

It's to do with the fact that the Brewers last reached the postseason when they were in the AL, and played the Cards in the 1982 World Series while there... so, first time two teams who have contested a World Series have played each other in divisional play-off game? Or similar? Personally rooting for Tigers, indifferent between Brewers and Cards, for some reason I've never really been able to get behind Texas though... maybe it's just their historic lack of pitching in their small hitter friendly park that is incompatible with my love of pitching duels.

Our BBF AA Midlands Division season finished in September, but we've entered a team into the BUBA Winter League. It's a chance to try out some new/fringe players. I'm managing the team.

when i saw this thread popping up again i thought i would be paged.. it's a weird story, apparantly it was a dispute between the brothers over too loud music.. sad stuff, just as baseball was enjoying so much good press here after the world title.. at half time during ajax-nac we jeered with 50.000 on his team mates.. and wierdest was, yet another halman is involved in the murder of one of the most prominent ajax-hardcore fans (who has a fan clothing empire)

So Prince Fielder is getting a $214 Million Ten year deal from the Detroit Lions eh? Reckon I could be bothered getting up in the morning for that kind of money. A question for the baseball fans: Is all the money guaranteed (unlike the NFL were they sign humungous contracts but only ever see a couple of years of it)?

Author:	myp [ Wed Jan 25, 2012 21:29 ]
Post subject:	Re: Yankee rules hitball
Yep, money is guaranteed. If he moves to another team they have to take on the remaining years of his contract on the same terms. It leads to some interesting situations where teams who have players they want to get rid of but are on massive contracts will offer to pay part of those contracts as a sweetener to the teams taking them.

Shifted, I'd say - NL have won the last three now. I resigned as manager on the opening day of the season before a ball was pitched. Long story! A blessing in some ways as I wouldn't have time anyway. I've taken a step back for a while until work and the band settles down a bit.

so i want to the european baseball champs 2 times last week, saw GBR losing to france in a woeful match, then playing better and winning against the czechs (who beat us a day later) first game 3 spectators and 4 scouts, days afterwards quite a lot of beautiful czech girls best of all i got in free those two days, as i arrived at thw 2nd inning (kids to bed).. utrechtsbaseball field is only 4 minutes of cycling from my home today i'm taking the train to rotterdam though, where the final is, they kind of have a proper baseball stadium for 4000 spectators... and we might become european champions, never seen anyone become european champs before, so that should be fun.. we play against our archrival italy, natch, we lost to them yesterday in the final group match http://www.ekhonkbal2012.nl/en
