The 2005 Baseball Thread


Recommended Posts

This is definitely going to be the most exicting final weekend i can remember in baseball. All I know is my Mets clinched a .500 season so I'm good lol. Now I get to enjoy banbang023 stressing out like crazy while I just sit back and enjoy some quality baseball :yes:. Unforunately, I'm going to miss most of it because I'll be either at work or volunteering at church or doing homework. :angry: Well, I SHOULD miss most of it ;)

Who would have ever thought it after such a crappy season? There's a long, hard (sort of like me) road ahead of us. My nerves are shot just thinking about it.

Me, my wife and son were watching the game and all having near-breakdowns... It's just too nerve-wracking... and it's not even the playoffs yet :blink:

At least I know one thing: As long as I have Yankee baseball, I have an excuse to drink.

I wonder who they'll start tomorrow. I'm hoping they'll bring up a scrub and let everyone else rest. I'd probably rest most of the starters if I were Torre. Let the Sox trounce us, I don't care.

uh, you wanna look at the first part of that first statement a little closer? :rofl:

anyway congrats, i guess its somewhat ironic that after seeing the sox unfurl the 2004 WS banner, the yankees come back and get the AL east @ fenway. i still hope the only trophy that a-rod gets the rest of this year is AL MVP. :D

This is awesome. After all the Yankees went through this season, they really worked to earn this.

My suitemate in college is from Connecticut and is a diehard Red Sox fan, while I've been a Yankee fan for about the last 13 years (pretty much since I knew what baseball was). I made a two-tier bet with him.

I bet him that I would come back to school after this six-day Rosh Hashanah break wearing a Yankees AL East Champions shirt, and he told me the Yankees would be cleaning out their lockers in Yankee Stadium after this weekend is over, when I last saw him on Thursday afternoon. The second part of the bet, and my favorite part, was that the loser buys the winner drinks next time we go out to the bars in Albany. So all my drinks are on him next time. :D

hehe. The tension is over. As was mentioned by bangbang and myself earlier, who needs the Wild Card when you can win the division? :cool:

Can't wait to see what the postseason has in store. :)

yay red sox :D

I tell ya, I never thought they'd make it this year... but nevertheless congratulations to Joe Torre and his team :yes:

LMFAO. My son was gonna go out and buy me a bottle of Jack because I'm out.... Too bad he didn't :angry:

Ugh... With either Mussina or Wright starting today, I'd rather not even watch the game. Jeeze, let freakin Sheffield pitch.

Yankees.com says he's pitching.... :no:

That's fine. The game doesn't matter and he's been hit by flying objects three games in a row, so they need to get him out there to work throughthe injuries and to get over any remaining fear that the next pitch will also come back at him.

Kind of feel bad for Cleveland. I was pulling for them but not at the expense of the Red Sox. Ideally, I would've liked to see LA, Cleveland, Boston, and Chicago but lo and behold the Yanks are ****ing me off yet again :p

As for my Mets, I'll take it. I think they have a pretty solid infield for the next few years if they keep Jacobs up to add to Wright and Reyes. Pedro should be able to give us at least one more quality year and hopefully Beltran will have made his "NY adjustment" and get back to his 20-20-100-100 type seasons. That's HRs, SBs, RBIs, Rs. And amazing what Cliff Floyd can do when he stays healthy for a full season. I think next year's their year to make the run. If they don't get it done then it might be a while.

While I find this story amusing since I hate the Yankees even I understand that this just doesn't seem quite right. In the Texas-LAA game yesterday, Buck Showlater took out his three best players (Michael Young, Hank Blalock, and Mark Teixeira) after the third inning. I don't care what he says it sure as hell seems Showalter tried to throw the game as best he could. You had to take them out in the third inning to get them ovations? Seems a little fishy to me. It wound up costing the Yanks home-filed against the Angels. Anyway, here's the full story. Judge for yourselves.

"If we had won one more game, we wouldn't have to be worried about what anybody else did," Cashman told The Times.

EXACTLY.

those yankee babies need to mind their own business. texas can do whatever the hell they want for whatever reason they want.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
