<font color=goldenrod>What a reality check series for the Mets. They're clearly capable of beating the shit out of bad teams. Unfortunately they've not shown at all that they can get it done against teams they might actually match up against in the playoffs.

Nats shitting the bed is the only thing keeping this weekend from being a total disaster.</font>

I might go to the game tuesday vs the Mets. Feels like that could be a huge 2 game series

even though the Tigers lost, this is my new favourite clip of the entire 2015 season

Woooo Hutchison

This is the Orioles if the Angels can lose

Fuck you! Forever Royal!! :mad:

I agree. Screw KC.

Well Mr. Mitchell, I guess it wasn't your day to pitch.

Aaaaand the Yankees escape with an extra innings win vs. the Twinkies.

Maybe next time you'll think twice before giving the starters an extra day of rest, Joe. Came back and bit ya this time.

<font color=goldenrod>Red Sox announce that Ben Cherington has stepped down as President of Baseball Operations and that Dave Dombrowski has taken the role effective immediately.</font>

think i just puked in my mouth a bit

The Mets Mob at Camden Yards is a notch less annoying than the asshole Yankee fans that come down for games.

Josh Donaldson is the man

h8 this whole "guy above the GM" thing.

<font color=goldenrod>Mets sure do love to take a comfortable lead into the 9th and then do everything in their power to nearly blow it. Phew. Win's a win.</font>

Cherington getting that job must have been really recent since someone else was supposed to have taken over after Larry Lucchino resigned.

Cherrington also resigning as the GM with former Braves GM Frank Wren as a rumored likely choice.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Official announcement of Dombrowski hiring tomorrow.

I more hate the whole "Boston Red Sox" thing and the "Dombrowski is no longer with the Tigers" thing

coughing up a game to the cubs because Ausmus is a terrible bullpen manager :[

Just when I thought Toronto is gonna be a problem. Now the Red Sox.

Wonder if Davey is gonna clean house during the post season and unload some of those contracts. Just like Ben did when he got in.

Dodgers get Chase Utley from the Phillies for 2 prospects.

Henry Urrutia gets the Os 3rd walk off hr in 6 games and his first career hr to beat the Mets 5-4.

<font color=goldenrod>The Mets bullpen has been atrocious of late. Need to iron that shit out if they're gonna get to October.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Also felt inevitable that Urrutia was gonna do something big since any time his name was brought up this series I just thought "wow, Urritia is a really stupid-sounding name"</font>

He's our Cuban sensation who up until this past call up could apparently neither hit or field

Wooooo Phillies win!

Bummed @Utley trade, but I figured it woulda happened already. More stock for the farm. Gotta hope that a few these guys pan out, especially some damn SP. Worst part about this team behind Dom Brown.

Well that sucked

Not sure what I prefer more, Toronto in the WC race or BoSox in dead last....

Put your hands together

Giants get Marlon Byrd from the Reds for Stephen Johnson.

Besides that, already expected to break the luxury bill record by around $10 million once its time for teams to pay up.

Tigers string 3 wins in a row together for the first time since it feels like June

just looked it up. June 23rd, to be exact

jesus christ

The New York Yankees are officially off the hook.

<font color=goldenrod>Mets give Colon a huge lead in Colorado. Collins leaves him in long enough to give most of it back and he leaves up 8-7 in the 4th inning.

Collins is such a fucking moron. Colon clearly has nothing left in the tank LONG before he was pulled. Do you really expect a guy who only throws 80-something MPH fastballs to pitch well in Colorado?</font>
