Uggla's streak is probably done. Barney definitely stole the lucky one that has been falling for Uggla the past few weeks.

Huge credit for the streak obviously, but in general I find them to be overrated. Seems like every year there's at least one lengthy hitting streak and once it reaches 25 games or so, the media starts questioning if it will hit 56 and it gets extensive coverage.

56 games is nearly impossible as it is, the insane media pressure only adds to it.

That's like saying no hitters are overrated because there's one every year. Still really impressive.

Been like 55 hitting streaks of more than 30 games in major league history. Been like 280 no hitters. Which is overrated?

Didn't say it wasn't impressive. Just saying the last few years there have been long hitting streaks and the media always blows its wad as though they expect the record to be broken.

DiMaggio. Ripken. Vander Meer. 3 baseball records that are pretty much impossible to break at this point.

Jason Marquis fractured his leg on a ball hit back to him by Angel Pagan. He still pitched to 5 batters and took a turn at bat before his leg caught up to him.

Jack McKeon pretty much confirmed today that Morrison was sent down for "running his mouth". Obviously in reference to his Twitter account.

Not surprisingly, he recent criticized Hanley on there. Loria has been known to be retardedly protective of Hanley despite the fact that he's been exposed as a lazy piece of shit time and time again.

Quote:
After a shocking demotion to Triple-A New Orleans last night, Marlins outfielder Logan Morrison will speak with the Players Union to see if there are grounds for filing a grievance, according to Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post.
Shortly after a game in which he batted third for the Fish, Morrison was given the news of his demotion, along with the notice that clubhouse leader Wes Helms had been released. The Marlins cited Morrison's .249 batting average as their reason for the demotion, but Morrison told reporters he thought the move was related to an off-the-field issue.
Capozzi's article shines some light on the situation, as he informs readers that Helms had advised Morrison that he didn't have to attend a meet-and-greet that day with Marlins season ticket holders. Morrison had recently finished an autograph session and was upset with the Marlins' handling of a charity bowling event that had to be canceled due to lack of interest. He spoke about the issues to Helms, the team's union representative. While Helms did attend the event, Morrison ultimately did not, and hours later neither were with the big league club.
Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and Capozzi had some reactions from Morrison, who told reporters he was "heartbroken," and said that manager Jack McKeon, President of Baseball Operations Larry Beinfest, and GM Mike Hill neglected to discuss his 17 home runs or 60 RBI on the season, but focused solely on the batting average. For what it's worth, Morrison's .791 OPS also ranks third on the team behind Mike Stanton and Gaby Sanchez.
In this special piece for MLB.com, Danny Villavicencio has quotes from Beinfest on the club's decision:
"I never thought we'd see Logan hitting in the .240s, ever," Beinfest said. "Obviously, he's a much better hitter than he's shown. I'm not going to pin that on it as a specific, but he needs to work on all aspects of being a Major Leaguer, and then he'll come back here."
Beinfest pointed to Jose Lopez's big Triple-A numbers and a desire to improve the bench as a reason for the release of Helms, who was batting just .191 after last night's game.
In addition to being second on the team in home runs and third in OPS, Morrison and agent Fred Wray can also point out that this move could hamper his service time, potentially costing him money in the long run and prolonging his journey to free agency. This isn't the first time this year that Morrison has clashed with the Marlins organization, either. He was asked to tone down his Twitter account earlier this season, and has been said to be too candid with the media.
Based on Beinfest's repetition that Morrison "needs to focus on all aspects of being a Major Leaguer," it certainly seems like there could be more to the situation than just his on-field performance. That will be up to the Players Union to decide, however.

...Don't know how to feel about this Beinfest fella throwing all that talk out there about how he never thought he'd EVER see Logan hitting in the .240s (he probably doesn't know who Dan Uggla is) and how he (Logan) needs to work on all aspects of being a Major Leaguer, which basically means he needs to work on his professionalism...

...I don't really like him saying all that stuff publicly. But, if you're going to go public with this, be SPECIFIC. Say WHAT happened...don't throw all these indirect messages.

A-Rod on Thome:

"Jim is one of the easiest players of our generation to root for. It's hard to overshadow 600 home runs, because it is a tremendous accomplishment and an exclamation point on a career bound for the Hall of Fame. But to me, the way he has treated the game -- and the people in and around it -- will always be the first thing that I think of when I think of Jim Thome. In so many ways, he is a legend of our game."

Definitely. Dude has always played the game right, has never been known for scandals, just for his feats...

...not only should he be a Hall of Famer, he should be a FIRST BALLOT HOFer.

Looks like the Rays are gearing up for a last minute push. Shields and Niemann went the distance in both doubleheader games yesterday, Price goes 8 strong today.

Rockes prospect Mike Jacobs makes history. He's the first North American to test positive for HGH under the new steriod testing policy.

He's been suspended 50 games, the Rockies immediately released him.

Youkilis now joins Ortiz on the DL with at least 2 weeks for Youk and 1 week for Ortiz but either way it kills the lineup especially with the team struggling to score post-Yankees series. The pitching has been assuming the team would be able to score at will so it lead to some weak pitching performances recently.

What were the previous players suspended for because a lot of minor league players have been suspended in recent years and some would have been from North America?

Volquez played the birth control pill excuse, Manny got something over the counter at a drug store. Legal, yes. But to MLB illegal. Jacobs actually used HGH.

Jacobs isn't really a prospect. He's a 30 year old veteran. He's always had pop but he became too much of a homer-or-nothing hitter.

I was there live to see him pinch-hit against the Nationals for his first ever MLB at-bat and he cracked a 3-run bomb, so I'll always have a soft spot for him. Plus his awesome play upon being called up in 2005 helped the Mets land Delgado so that worked out nicely.

4 days after signing mere minutes before the deadline, Mets first round pick Brandon Nimmo is playing in his first rookie league game. That might be some kind of record.

I imagine the last straw was the reports leaking that the Braves were offering 2-3 good prospects for Marlon Byrd and Hendry refused, despite the Cubs having Brett Jackson in Aaa hitting the leather off the ball and clearly ready to come up and play center field.

Hendry is a moron

I didn't know Hendry was both Cubs GM AND Vice-President...
