Well, that's kinda when you wanna play your best baseball, my White Sox shot their load too soon, started out great and finished .500 after the All Star break and were quickly dispatched by the Trashstros...
Go Braves!

Braves are in the driver seat now. Let fvcking go
I think that dreary cold weather ****ed with the Astros last night. They're not used to that shit. Same kind of weather tonight. Let's go Braves!
By the way, the umpiring in this World Series has been awful. Some of the worst I have ever seen. These guys behind the plate cannot do their job with any degree of consistency. Might as well have 7 Angel Hernandez's out there.
Fox is delivering with the go to and return from commercials music repping Atl and Hou. :rockon:

That Hallion dude could be even worse than Hernandez, didn't think that would be possible but here we are...

Well done, Braves! Worthy-ass champs right there.
Oh man what a season. All joking aside, I have been following the Braves since 1990. Saw the Worst to First campaign, then saw them lose back to back World Series championships against the Twins and the Blue Jays who were a hell of a team. Suffered through a strike in 94 where there was no baseball and no World Series, and then finally saw the Braves win it all in 95. Suffered through them getting beat up by the Yankees since and the mediocrity of that team in the late 2000's. And finally, the Braves win again in an unprecedented season where their best players get hurt, and the GM brings in some decent but mediocre replacements, and those 4 guys he brings in are the ones who actually made a difference. What a win. Cried last night.

Was this more exciting for you than watching them win with Hank Aaron in 57?

Hey guys, I missed the World Series of Baseball. How did it go? Looks like it wasn't in the cards for the Dodgers to win it all this year.
Congrats Braves. Did not root for you at all, but I have to admit there is no real rivalry between the Braves and Mets anymore. Not since Chipper retired. It just sucks that it was because of the Mets that the Braves GM realized they were still in it and traded for a new outfield. Mets were about 5 up on them and had a 5 game series with them and lost 3 out of 5 against a team that was missing many players. Mets took their foot off the pedal and Braves capitalized. Does that series sound familiar to any of y'all Braves fans? But that's just how it is for the Mets, every NL East team has won since the millennium except the damn Mets. Cursed franchise.
Anyways, congrats Braves fans :cheers: or Stro haters (which there are a lot of :oldlol: )
AL MVP finalists: Vlad Jr, Semien, and Shohei
Both teams representing the finalists fail to make the Playoffs, but Blue Jays was 1 game away from a possible three-way tie. Vlad Jr. is the best hitter of the team and in the league this season as having the most HRs in MLB tying with Royals catcher Sal Perez, while Semien made a history of setting the all-time HR record in a regular season for a 2nd base man.
Shohei though was individually great at both hitting and pitching, 2nd in HR behind Vlad and Perez, along with 100 RBI, 103 runs and 26 base steals. He also started 23 games with 9-2 record and 3.18 ERA and 156 Ks.

Ohtani
RIP Julio Lugo
Dead at 45 presumably from a heart attack. :(
Noah Syndergaard to Angels for a 1-year deal.
Jose Barrios stays with Blue Jays with a 7-years extension deal.
The Angels are finally going after pitching. But 21 is a lot for a guy who hasn’t been remotely healthy in 2 years and has t been effective in 4.

Didn't he have a down year compared to previous seasons? He used to own us but the ChiSox battered him around this season...

He wasn't bad; 5-4 with 3.54 ERA during his time with Jays.
Kate Upton's lucky husband stays with Astros for another year after missing a year due to Tommy John surgery.
Jays' Robbie Ray wins AL Cy Young Award. :rockon:
Brewers' Corbin Burnes wins NL Cy Young Award.
Why do they anounce these awards so late? By this time we have already gotten past baseball and are focusing on other sports...weird.
They do need to change the Manager of the Year Award though to include the post-season.
No they don't.
Congrats to Shohei, the 2021 AL MVP :applause:
Bryce Harper wins the 2021 NL MVP.

They’d be stupid not too. They’re probably doing it so early so that they don’t have to overpay a couple years from now.
Kind of like what the Braves did with Acuna his rookie year. He’s one of the best players in baseball who won’t make more than 17 million a year until 2027
Robbie Ray to Mariners
Max Scherzer to Mets
Corey Seager to Rangers, right after they got Marcus Semien. Rangers are going all-in in 2022.

I truly don't understand spending that much money if I'm them. Seager and Semien aren't going to move the needle in any way because they still have absolutely no pitching whatsoever. Maybe they're a bit more exciting offensively but Seager is hurt a lot anyway.
No way they win more than 76-78 as it stands right now.
Just glad the Braves don't have to see Seager anymore.
