AL already in a hole down 5-0 thanks to Verlander. Fucking idiot. Looks like Home Field advantage will go to the National League in the World Series again this year...:depressed

[The Gemini Method]

Should've started Weaver...ah, oh well...It's surprising how vital HFA is in baseball.

[Reck]

Verlander is overrated as fuck.

He has his moments but he's nothing to be too impessed about.

Almost all of his losses are really bad ones.

[Lincoln]

Why the fuck do they choose HFA in a fucking exhibition game? Players aren't going to try any harder than normal

Please tell me you're joking...2.58 ERA

His ER in his losses this year: 4, 2, 5, 3, 4

But yeah his losses are really bad

[Juggity]

The AL is a joke.

That is all.

[Heath Ledger]

Verlander overrated thats the funniest thing i've read all day. Most of his losses this year the Tigers put up turds on offense. He's the leagues strikeout leader, reigning Cy Young and MVP winner but yeah hes overrated.

I was a fan of his tell he made the pitch himself he should be mvp

The media tries to paint this guy as the second coming or something.

You can throw career stats all day. To me, it doesn't matter at the end.

I'm more concern about how clutch a pitcher is in key moments.

From what I've seen he always gets lit up. Dont know if that's a coincidence from the time I watch him but that's that.

His playoffs numbers are all over the place.

[The Gemini Method]

Not overrated...just got rocked by the NL. It wasn't his fault the AL batters all decided to suck ass.

[Jacob1983]

Jose Bautista, Big Papi, Josh Hamilton, etc... laid a big fat goose egg tonight. Those guys are home run hitters but didn't do a fuckin thing tonight for the AL.

I really hope in the next five years or less that MLB changings the home field advantage rule. That rule is one of the shittiest and dumbest rules in pro sports. If you have the better record, you should get more home games than the other team in the World Series. Case closed. No exceptions or excuses. No ifs, ands, or buts. You don't let a meaningless exhibition game have an effect on the championship. That's just wrong. The NBA and NHL don't do that shit.

:lol Just admit you were talking out of your ass, chalk it up as a loss, and move on.

[BUMP]

No idea where the "Verlander is overrated" came from. He was just trying to put on a show by overthrowing and had no control at all

[the plane ride]

My trip from Kansas City to Arlington was so quiet, you could hear a SEASON drop!

[lefty]

:lol baseball
:lol baseball ASG
:lol homerun derby
:lol baseball fans in the stands
:lol fat beer drinkers/hot dog eaters with no life, no job and no woman

[The Gemini Method]

I have forgotten how funny Lefty was...

I think the whole HFA thing is a terrible idea as well. I mean, it works out for the league that gets it, but overall it seems to only put the emphasis on, if you're in the winning league, you'd work hard enough to garner entry into the second season and then catch fire and voila! You get to host the WS.

o well....the Angels wont have HFA in the World Series.

Perhaps, but I wasn't lying when I said everytime I see him play he gets owned.

[JMarkJohns]

He was distracted by the thought of Kate Upton playing with his bat and balls all while his offerings being sprayed all over the field.
