Just watched him get out of a bases loaded jam.

I like seeing what he can do against a top 5 offense.

Didn't quite make it out of that bases loaded jam though...

Tie game in NY

Hamilton, according to the fourth and final update released Monday, has 7,310,824 votes. The record for the most votes was set last year by Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista, who received 7,454,753 votes.

So with four days remaining in the balloting -- voting ends Thursday at 11:59 p.m. ET -- the Rangers center fielder is a mere 143,929 votes from the record. His vote total rose by almost 1.9 million in the past week.

Fielder is in 1st place too.

Fister vs Oswalt

I don't know if I have ever mentioned this, but I seriously hate soccer and don't see the fascination the entire world has with it. Today Portugal and Spain played to a 0-0 draw and Spain won on penalty kicks. Yay a 0-0 game, how exciting. Earlier Italy beat Spain on penalty kicks after a 0-0 game. This is why Americans are so much better than the rest of the world, for the most part we don't like soccer

I couldn't agree more. Any sport where it is that much of a monumental effort to score a point and many games go scoreless is pointless.

Nothing even builds to it either, in a matter of a couple seconds a scoring chance is over and it's kicked back out to the middle. It's just a simplistic cheap sport that's popular because any idiot can figure it out in a couple minutes and all you need to play is a ball, (if even that, I'm sure garbage or rocks work about the same).

I agree on soccer, but as far as the "Any sport where it is that much of a monumental effort to score a point" thing goes, I kind of disagree, because that's kind of like hockey. Hockey is much higher intensity though, they're constantly moving and beating each other just to get to the puck, it's quite exciting.

If soccer was anything like that, wel...then it's probably also be hockey. Soccer blows.

All the "flopping" turns soccer off to me.

Hockey does have a lot more goals though. There are plenty of hockey games where teams score 5+ goals, and it's rare games end 0-0 in a shootout, and when they do it's usually because both goalies are fantastic.

And a 0-0 hockey game can even be exciting when you see goalies making save after save. In a 0-0 soccer game, the goalie probably makes about 10 saves all game.

well hockey at least is fast paced, and a bit more complex and skilled. Anyone can run around and kick a ball, not everyone can skate. And the scoring is a notch or two above soccer, not as high as baseball, but 5 goals in a hockey game is common, 5 in a soccer game is earth shattering.

Fister getting fisted by Texas

Very true. I guess I just equate them in style because they have similar rules.

Hockey is better though. Soccer thread would get beat up on here.
