Am I the only one who sees Jack Nicholson in that picture?

Astros lose. Bleh.

Yeah!

Does Nick Swisher know where he got traded to?

 

[cashman]

Foul by like an inch. What shitty luck.

 

[Chris R]

Foul by like an inch. What shitty luck.

I believe we will find some way to lose this.

Also, playing kanye in the stadium? "Clean" version of power is silly.

 

[Macattk15]

Nelson Cruz is just great.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Easy game to predict.

If OAK Bullpen = 0 IP then OAK WIN
If OAK Bullpen IP > 0 then OAK LOSE

Prediction accuracy.

 

[Syrinx]

Nelson Cruz is just great.

What championship would that be?

Mike Trout becomes the first player in major league history to hit three home runs on his birthday at age 24.

 

[Dominican Power]

Back to back MVPs!!!

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Have no clue why the Nats are reactivating Stephen when they are in a skid like this....

And who would've thought Coors Field was holding Tulo back...

Warning: shameless self promotion ahead.

Hey look, I wrote about Wilmer Flores's teary ascent to NY stardom and I want GAF to read about it!

There's also a neato article about how Jon Niese has been the bookend of the Mets rotation in their climb to the top of the NL East! Enjoy!

[Mr. Enigma]

Totally rooting for the Mets to win it all. I'd love to see Terry Collins get some success for all the horrible teams he's had to work with.

Cards need a productive offseason after they win the World Series this October. Cubs/Pirates aren't going away any time soon and are likely to get better in the next few years.

I think resigning Heyward would be a good start, but I don't know exactly what else they could do. SP is a market strength, but the Cardinals probably don't need one. Maybe an older John Lackey-type

Though with Wainwright and Holliday gone for most of the year, I've actually got a good amount of hope for the future looking at what this team has done without half it's "core"

What championship would that be?

The prestigious "3rd place in the NL East" championship, of course!

 

[Beckx]

Last night was the best night of baseball in a month

Pirates win on Alvarez walk off hit (vs LHP!) in the 10th inning at home

Tsuruga Kehi wins on walk off hit in the 10th inning at Koshien

Fighters win on Otani walk off hit in the 10th at home

I am a pretty happy dude today.

Edit: Otani had a murderface right before his game winning hit. All it needs is an Ace of the Diamond style flaming aura.

[Silver Arrows]

Couldn't catch the game, but the Jays keep winning.

 

[RBH]

Keep doing your thing, Jim Johnson!

And the 2015 version will end up under .500, just like the 2014 bunch.

 

[Caja 117]

This 3 game set between Yanks and Jays is going to be great. go Yanks

 

[BigJonsson]

Price!


Edit - Is it hat day in New York?

 

[BigJonsson]

Will the Yankees risk Bettances arm falling off?

 

[Silver Arrows]

We be workin'

 

[The Elite]

I am willing to switch my mobile phone back to Rogers if they resign David Price.

I already have my phone under Rogers, so I'm pitching in.

 

[Caja 117]

I miss Martin on the Yanks.

 

[Silver Arrows]

I miss Martin on the Yanks.

HE'S OURS NOW

 

[The Elite]

Gibbons got tossed.

 

[Caja 117]

WTF at Ryans mustache!

 

[JoseDFrog]

I don't think the Yankees realize this is the same Price they've score a million runs of this year. That nice blue jersey must be confusing them.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

A lot of Giants fans seem to be pissed Pagan is leading off.

 

[Malo]

I met Jon Heyman on the subway last night. He seemed like a chill guy.

Edit:. Welp, that's game.

 

[The Elite]

Jays acquire Cliff Pennington from the Diamondbacks.

 

[BigJonsson]

Bases loaded for Smoak

Just get a sac fly


OR A GRAND SLAM!!!!

 

[ShaneB]

Wooooooo

 

[The Elite]

Grand fucking slam!

 

[Lexxism]

GRAND SALAMI!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Well ain't that a bitch

Spoiler

 

[Caja 117]

Thanks Girardi for leaving him on pitching

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Fuck yessss grand slam Jays too good
Smoak grand slam who would have thought lol

 

[BigJonsson]

Thanks Girardi for leaving him on pitching

I thought he was going to be taken out of the game for sure after walking EE, guess he didn't have someone in the pen warming up with Nova's pitch count getting high

 

[bonesmccoy]

HOLY SMOAKS!!!!!!!



















sorry

 

[Coldnoodle]

Grand salami.

 

[StudioTan]

I like Smoak, he's neat.

 

[The Elite]

I thought he was going to be taken out of the game for sure after walking EE, guess he didn't have someone in the pen warming up with Nova's pitch count getting high

Yeah. That bullpen is taxed from last night. Guess Girardi wanted to stretch Nova through this inning. Didn't work out.

 

[Caja 117]

Adam Warren was ready when Smoak came to the plate, Apparently it was between Giradi and the Pitching coach.
