2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

Yeah but I don't necessarily remember one game and that started early enough where post season hopes weren't a strong reality. I haven't been 'into' baseball this late in 20 years

I guess we have different views of "Sportsmenship"

Yep. You view sportsmenship however it is you view it, and the rest of us view sportsmenship as a made up word.

As a die hard Giants fan who hates absolutely everything Dodgers related (apart from Brian Wilson), I have absolutely zero problem with the pool celebration by the Dodgers. I thought it was hilarious, and looked like they were all having a great time. Isnt fun what the game is all about?

Greinke getting hit in the head was classless.
If the diamondbacks wouldn't of came out with that statement saying they didn't want the dodgers to celebrate on their field, this wouldn't of happened. It feels like it was a moment of, "oh really? F you! See how you like this celebration"

Goes to show that baseball has some of the most overly-sensitive players in pro sports.

Only wish someone on the Dodgers would have rocked an Ian Kennedy shirsey and jumped in the pool.

Exactly. That was very pitiful on their part. Still doesn't mean you do what the Dodgers did though. Then again, I thought it happened right after the game, but I guess it happened later on?

As a team they are sticking a collective middle finger up at the D-Backs...after some of the **** they pulled earlier in the year, that dip in the pool had to feel so good for the Dodgers. Hi, Ian Kennedy.

Exactly

And who said Andy was a HOF'er, that was outta no where

It was after the customary locker room champagne and bud light showers, after the interviews, etc. the stadium was pretty much empty, and only half the team or so ran out

Also,

The Dodgers misunderstood the intent of the Diamondbacks' request, according to team president Stan Kasten. He thought they were asking Dodgers players not to celebrate raucously in front of Diamondbacks fans. By the time the players took the plunge, the stadium was largely empty.

that's my president

Blows my mind is became as big as it did. Not a huge deal IMO. Big win for the Pirates last night, critical after the Friday meltdown

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Unlikely for the A's to overcome the Red Sox for best record in the AL, but keeping the lead over the Tigers is HUGE.
