I hope Francouer gets traded and Dominic Brown bats lead off for the rest of the season.

You sir, are the worst

Gertner is the greatest heel I've ever known.

Meanwhile in Texas, the Jays are kicking the shit out of the Rangers 10-2. Encarnacion with a grand slam.


Fuuuuuuuuck I love the Jays offence!

Lol oh God, Bautista up with bases loaded, no outs in the 7th.

JV still got it

<font color=goldenrod>Remember when the Mets traded for Eric O'Flaherty and I said "I don't care about his 5.91 ERA, the reason they're getting him is that he carves up lefties who are only hitting .186 against him"

In the 3 weeks since coming to the Mets, lefties are now hitting him at a .444 clip with a 2.70 WHIP :| He has a 15.88 ERA through 9 games with the Mets. Total season ERA up to an even 8.00. And in 2 of those games he came in with a huge lead and single-handedly allowed the other team to get back into the game.

It's a small sample size, but I've seen enough. I'd rather not have a lefty specialist at all than try desperately to get something out of him. He's just totally shot.</font>

all I'm reading is PHIL COKE PHIL COKE PHIL COKE

<font color=goldenrod>I'd rather have Phil Coke than O'Flaherty at this point.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Hell I'd rather they call up this kid from Double A who got signed out of independent ball this year. Josh Smoker. Excellent name for a pitcher.</font>

Twins have activated their peak factor and took control of the second wildcard spot last night. Hope they didn't play their hand too early. Peak factor timing is everything these days.

While glancing at the standings earlier this morning on mlb.com I looked at the Wild Card list... they show the division leaders on top and then the WC race below. For whatever reason I never noticed this before but it's shown like this:

E - Toronto
C - Kansas City
W - Houston


E C DUB

I wanna see Donaldson put Yordano Ventura through a flaming table

Well, Jays have peaked. They lost to Texas. Probably will get passed by the Red Sox at this pace.

That's what you get!

<font color=goldenrod>Mets recover from an early 5-0 deficit, pull off the play of the year in the 10th inning, and win 9-5 in the 13th. They've hit a franchise record 43 home runs this month, and have scored a franchise record 73 runs in the past week.

This must be how Gertner feels watching the Jays.</font>

Padres still have a 0.1% chance to rectify not being sellers at the deadline. Sorry, Damian Rey.</font> :o

It's okay. I've come to terms with that lousy decision. I'm hoping they indeed do not resign Upton to gain a draft pick, trade Kimbrel, Norris and Ross in the off season to try and reload the organization, and finish in the bottom ten do they can splurge on free agents without giving up draft picks this time.

These daft owners aren't going to mail it like they should've done this year with the all-star game coming. Wouldn't be shocked to see them be aggressive in adding cheap talent via trades and going for broke in the free agent market.

I knew it was only a matter of time.

Supposedly he faked being a sabermetrics guy to get the job and just paid lip service to it after.

Jays with already 3 home runs tonight after 5 innings

MLB might consider a stronger push for extended the netting to protect fans from nailed by foul balls in the offseason now that a lawsuit got filed because of it. Current lawsuit targets the Red Sox and an incident from last season where a fan got injured by a foul ball.

Seemed to work great for the Little League World Series.

<font color=goldenrod>jesus...even when the Mets lose they keep it interesting. Down 6-3 with 2 outs and the bases empty and they wind up losing 6-4 with the bases loaded.

sucks to lose a game where Harvey tossed 6 scoreless, but oh well. things had to even out at some point given the way the past week has gone. at least the Nats lost.</font>

Fernando Rodney dyed his beard in an unsuccessful attempt to try to make us think he's not Fernando Rodney.

How fucking awesome is this: Every Jays home run up to Aug.26 done to the beat of Johnny Cash's God's Gonna Cut You Down

Lol Encarnacion is killing the Tigers. 2 more home runs today. Jays up 9-1.

Lol Encarnacion just hit a Grand Slam. 3 home runs and 9 rbi's today. Jays up 13-1.

Oh how sweet it is!

Bahaha Martin with a 2 run home run. 15-1. Suck it Tigers.

Tigers were better with Leyland & Price.

Organization needs an overhaul. Probably gonna regret letting Dombrowski go.

Mets grab Addison Reed from the D-Backs for 2 prospects.

Wonder if I should pick him up again in fantasy?

Jays drop the mic. Now we're done. Encarnacion with another home run.

Yankees destroy the Braves and sweep the series. Looks like we've finally learned to hit again.

Droford is currently justifying why the O's are fine without Jake Arrieta.

Jake motherfucking Arrieta right now.
He's pitching for a MVP. Fuck a Cy Young!

Frank beating me to the punch

Arrieta may have just sealed up the Cy Young right there.

Wow dude.....that was a hell of a pitching performance. Cubs needed it too. 2 runs in the first was it after 13 hits and chasing Alex Wood after 5 innings.

He's just peaking is all. Orioles still won the trade.

lol.....fucking got him AND Strop for Scott Feldman....

edit: yeah hes peaked for these last 50 starts so he's bound to come back to erf.
