I know they are "out of it," but I still get pumped when they win games, especially comebacks. Hate to see teams give up toward the end of the year (or ever, really).

Saw the score was 4-3 in the bottom of the 9th, thought we had one and turned off the tv, little notice popped up on my phone as I made my way across the house telling me the score was 5-4.

Just shook my head in sadness.

Dice-K wasn't very good in his debut. But as long as he can eat some innings that's all they really need him for.

Would have been interested in seeing Jacob deGrom since he's Rule 5 eligible and needs to be added to the 40-man roster this offseason anyway, but I can see why they wouldn't bother at this point. There will be spots open soon enough.

The Mets' 40 man is maxed out as is, and as best I can tell their only way to free up more room would be to transfer Hefner and Mejia to the 60 day DL since their will pitch again this year anyway. I imagine they'll do that to call up Matt den Dekker and probably some random veteran guy who had a good year in the minors.

FoxSports reports that the Angels are preparing to fire their manager and/or GM this offseason. Both have been bickering at each other ever since 2011 to the point the owner can't stand it anymore.

The report states Scioscia and Dipoto have a strained relationship due to Scioscia's involvement in personnel matters. Dipoto expected autonomy when he was hired in October 2011, FoxSports.com reported, citing unnamed sources.

Scioscia should be out since the Angels are pretty much the Titanic. As for DiPoto, he made his bed when he gave Pujols all that money when he got in. He should stay there and suffer. Yankees fans and Cashman are going through it right now with the A-Rod deal.

Also, CC and his 1 big inning per game are becoming as predictable as Phil Hughes with an 0-2 count.

The triple crown doesn't "sound" that good, but if you think about it... it basically means you combine two really good types of hitters. Most hitters who hit for contact/batting average generally aren't good power hitters. Most power hitters usually are "boom or bust" and have middling BA. To lead the league in both BA and HR is pretty incredible. And to even be in the discussion of doing it again this year is simply astounding. Not to get too ahead of anything, but by all accounts it looks like he will finish the season leading in BA and RBIs, and is currently 4 back of Davis for HR. It's not feasible to think he could do it again.

Such a ridiculous player right now. If, by some cruel act of some higher power, it came out that Cabrera was on PEDs of any kind I would actually just give up on baseball because the sport would not be fun for me anymore. HEARTBREAKING, if you will.

Yeah, we're in last place. But gotta stay loyal and it was an awesome game today. Vogelsong pitched great, gave up only two hits and really had command of his pitches. Cool to see McCutchen and the Pirates play too.

Not to get too ahead of anything, but by all accounts it looks like he will finish the season leading in BA and RBIs, and is currently 4 back of Davis for HR. It's not feasible to think he could do it again.

Such a ridiculous player right now. If, by some cruel act of some higher power, it came out that Cabrera was on PEDs of any kind I would actually just give up on baseball because the sport would not be fun for me anymore. HEARTBREAKING, if you will.
crossrine

I feel like the "moneyball era" had tainted the triple crown a bit. People look at those stats as outdated but still, even with appreciating other advanced metrics, the feat of leading the league in the 3 Old standard stats is fucking AMAZING. Cabrera put together perhaps the best hitting season of the last 50 years.

Matt Harvey has a tear of his UCL and is probably getting Tommy John Surgery...

I'm just at a loss for words. Just when it was looking like 2014 might finally be the year to climb back into contention, this happens.

Still can't get over Harvey. I mean he said he's gonna try to avoid surgery if at all possible. But let's be real, it's a torn UCL. It will always be a concern. I imagine Tommy John is inevitable and it'll knock him out for all of next year.

It's not even the importance of Harvey from a results/contention standpoint. He was legitimately fun to watch. Now to know we probably won't get to watch him do his thing again until 2015 is just deflating.

Beachy was my favorite Braves' pitcher last year, and I was pretty sad when he went out for Tommy John. I'm hoping news comes out soon that his arm isn't fucked again, but if it is, I'll be sad to miss watching him for basically two years. He pitched some this year, but he never looked great. Guess you can just hope that he comes back stronger after the (probable) surgery.

The thought with Harvey is that the constant 90+ MPH sliders he was throwing are what tore up his elbow. He might have to scale it back when he returns, which would be a shame as it's his best pitch.

And with the news that Harvey is out, the Mets have put about 5 players through waivers. Marlon Byrd has been claimed by a National League team and a trade is being worked out. Mets were hoping to keep everybody and shoot for .500 but with Harvey gone those plans have evaporated.

Was gonna go Thursday to see Harvey pitch against the Phillies. Doubt I'll bother now. No Wright, no Harvey, probably no Byrd, two bad teams, Carlos Torres pitching. Not really worth the $100+ investment when you factor in tickets, parking, food, gas, tolls, etc.
