As a Cardinals fan, what should I say to piss off Cubs supporters?

guys is this hat ugly?

Sorry, someone put the wrong hat on

say nothing to them.
if you don't give them attention, they become furious

Tell them you actually buy your beer like a proper gentleman.

I wonder if that retard that was hating on Yu Darvish will show back up or if he's finally realized he's wrong.

Probably a pseudo intellectual plebbitor that prides himself on being an enlightened advocate of advanced stats while not knowing how to actually approach them in real context.

Do what every other Cardinals fan does and talk about how you win the "right way" how you have the "best fans in baseball" and act like St. Louis isn't a complete redneck shithole masquerading as a quaint mid-western city.

incredibly ugly

He had not legitimate criticisms of Darvish outside of conditions I deem fair

>Tfw mets lost today
>Still bought a new reliever for prospects

Just fuck this team up

Say the white sox are the better Chicago team

G O R A G S

Remind them their home field is quite litteraly in gay neighborhood

Say the championship was a fluke because all of Cleveland's pitching was on the DL

dont say anything really
some of them have permanent brain damage from years of psychological self-torture and masochism, so they piss themselves off
as well they enjoy having their balls stepped on by women in high heels
either that or they started watching last year
>chicongo not being a war zone
I'd rather have a southern twist to my city

I didn't post that. You completely ignored the fastball/slider stuff I posted. You're clearly a retard anyway because you started talking rambling on about shit that isn't related to pitch value when I brought it up as though you think that's a catch all for pitcher stats and not a specific thing.

Don't forget that one of the best hitters
(Napoli) disappeared and hit under .200 in the postseason, too.

>chiraq

Fucking idiot. For Darvish if not when there was with his fastball but not his slider? For his k/9 if there was to be with that; heretofore, it is to begin with them and end with those. I will not repeat that shit again. Rangers for their findings of not with the trades or the never for not that is there to go? Quit that shit, or find better stats.

I'd argue Brantley over Napoli. Napoli was streaky as fuck all year.

Rangers game starting, Beltre is 2 hits away from 3000.

Is there any way to look at what Lindor's Avg would be without his sac bunts?

Best hitters from that season. Brantley played like, what, 16 games? Michael has been unbelievable this season though and we did miss him, but Napoli was one of the most important pieces of 16

>LAA: Report: Angels open to trading Bud Norris

Calculate it.

No u.

>Can't address an argument
>Resort to shitposting

Go back to /nba/ dipshit.

Name one team better than the Dodgers.

The '01 mariners

...

How hopeless must it be to be playing a team like these Indians with Kluber starting?

This is a correct answer, and the fact that it might make any user rage makes it even better.

Rangers vs Orioles Beltre 2 hits away from 3000 game thread.

>Lost in the ALDS

Kek

Everyone and I mean EVERYONE should reach for his head when he finally hits 3000

Championship and pennant-wise, there are several of them

>Suzuki 3,000 hits last year
>Beltre 3,000 hits this year
>Pujols 3,000 hits next year pending 2nd half explosion this year
>Beltran has to play until he's at least 42/43 to get 3,000
>Cabrera 3,000 hits in maybe 3 years
>Then wait on Cano

Beltran will never get 3000

>Beltre gets 3000th hit
>Entire team comes out the dugout and rushes for his head
>Other team joins in and goes for Beltre's head
>Beltre goes into full rage mode
>Grabs his bat and starts swinging
>Elvis Andrus takes a few hits to the leg and is out until late 2018
>Yu Darvish slips while running away and lands on his arm
>Tommy John and is out until 2019
>Joey Gallo takes a swing to the head and his career is over
>Rags

Literally they have the same fate for them

Tebow just hit a three run bomb

Think you meant beltre user...

what is this autism

BELTRE ON DECK
>BELTRE ON DECK
BELTRE ON DECK

No u

BELTRE BATTING

Last 2 is number of abs till beltre gets 3000

What kind of fucking name is Dirkx

It's Bibens-dirkx which is even more ridiculous.

NAPOLI ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

>royals take the lead on a lorenzo cain 3 run home run
>hit 302 feet

Nick Markakis at 1,994 hits

MARINERS!

Clever. I approve.

No one cares

nick markakis cares

...

>This is a strike

Let me know when Beltre is at 2999 hits, ok lads?

That COULD be bottom corner

Pitch 6

...

Beltre on deck bois

That really isn't THAT bad of a call

Beltre is gonna lead off in the 4th

Could you imagine letting a #5 starter going 7 innings against the best offense in baseball?

Cal Ripken Jr. or Josh Hamilton?

Ripken was the bigger juicer for sure

Yankees aquire Gray and Coulombe for Florial, McKinney, Mateo, and Littel.

What exactly are you asking?

Hamilton is the better murderer for sure.

Hamilton would probably be a lot more fun to party with 2bh

BELTRE NOW 1 HIT AWAY

BELTRE NOW 1 HIT AWAY

Sense I get is #Yankees and #Athletics closing gap on Gray, but NYY working on other things tonight too. Littell might not be in Gray talks

Hamilton's book is bretty good

Has anybody ever had a weirder more iconic career than Josh Hamilton while not being even being close to a HoFer?

>Get drafted 1st overall by the Rays
>Never do anything with them because you're a drug addict
>Find Christ and get picked up in a rule 5 draft by the Rangers
>Set record for most HRs in the HR derby
>Win MVP and be the face of the Rangers in b2b World Series runs
>Kill a fan
>Hit a 2 run HR in the WS to put the Rangers back up in the 10th after they blew a save with 1 strike away
>Commit a crucial error in the last game of one season giving the division to the A's
>Sign a huge contract with the Angels as a free agent
>Fuck off forever

will the Mariners ever win a ring /mlb/?

>>Fuck off forever
you mean get paid 20 mil by the angels to play for a division rival

No

A-Another one?

>Neither the Astros nor Brewers are “serious players for Gray,” writes MLB Network’s Ken Rosenthal, who adds that the Braves and Cubs also don’t look likely to acquire him. The Dodgers are the biggest threat to the Yankees in this sweepstakes, but Gray isn’t LA’s main focus, per Rosenthal. With that in mind, Rosenthal expects the Yankees to land Gray, though it might not happen until Monday. Gray to the Bronx makes sense, opines Rosenthal, who notes that the Yankees need answers in their rotation beyond this year (only Luis Severino and Jordan Montgomery are locks to return in 2018) and want to get under the $197MM luxury-tax threshold next season. Acquiring the affordable Gray would help them on both fronts.

It looks like Gray to the Yankees is all but inevitable. Hopefully Cashman doesn't fuck this up.

>being this retarded

Beltre is at 2999 and will hit next inning
are you all watching the rags game?

Is this how Beltre breaks the hit record

No

Fuck you. Don't ask me what to do.

but Beltre is the one good thing about the rags

Accurate

>another fucking one-run game loss
Fucking hell.

>jim johnson
enjoy the win phillies

Don't forget
>Hit a super rare 4 HR game vs the Orioles
>Always slide headfirst in to first base

Hamilton is a folksy baseball legend.
