The OFFICIAL 2014 Mother's Basement MLB Season Thread - #dynasty vs. #destiny

Only 5 NL teams have positive run differentials (Nats, Cards, Pirates, Dodgers, Giants). Only 1 in NL East

I don't think there are 400 people in the upper deck of tonight's Nats Braves game. Looks like the fans have given up as well.

How many would you guess paid face?

Hard to tell because that stadium is gigantic but it looked like less than 5000. Looked like some of the old marlin games at Joe Robbie.

Heading to OPaCY tonight for the possible clincher for the AL East. Downside is that Jimenez is pitching. Should still be a great atmosphere though. If they clinch, it will be the first time they clinch the division with a win at home since 1969 (whoa).

Dom Brown was a dirty unwritten rules-breaker last night, and the Padres fans were not happy about it.

He better be careful...they still have a series against Atlanta.

5th inning in a 1-0 game seems pretty ticky tack.

Stanton posted an update pic. Kinda graphic.

The Mariners have derailed. Ugh.

I also tend to agree with the author that anytime you have a heavy shift on, you kinda lose the right to complain about the bunt.

For what it is worth, I searched Cashner on Twitter and found no evidence the Padres were upset with the bunt. Cashner had a CG on 92 pitches.

SunTrust Park - home of the 2017 Atlanta barves.

 

[HailToTheDeacons]

Barring the utterly ludicrous, the Os will get to celebrate the AL East crown with the home fans - pretty cool.

Nats get a couple shots to clinch in Atlanta - hell yeah.

Rusney Castillo HR in first AB

This year has been a disaster, but I'm pretty damn pumped about next season's offense. No idea what the pitching will look like though.

 

[RJKarl]

Joe West should have been suspended for the JP incident. I can't believe MLB took West back after the strike. He's been the worst ump in baseball for 25+ years.

 

[YoungBuck95]

Blow it up.

 

[SkinsNDeacs]

The locker room during a celebration seems like about the most fun a human could have.

 

[DeaconCav06]

Loved the random F Bombs being dropped and FP being like "there's Tanner Roark."
