I'm going to see the Giants on May 20th. I really hope Peavy or Cain isn't pitching. Then again, they're playing the Cubs so it might not matter anyway.

Strasburg managed to get 7/175 without going into free agency and with injury/performance concerns like crazy. Can't imagine what he would have gotten in the free market, good for him though.

david price got 7 years 217 mil I imagine it would have been around that if not more. as while price had been healither, strsburg is 3 years younger and regarded as the better pitcher between the two.

Under 30, highest upside of any pitcher to reach the market in a while, ridiculous raw stuff.

Upwards of $230 on the open market (this deal is basically worth that and more with the opt outs).

good play by the rangers fielder by purposely walking into the guy on second and falling on him to keep him from scoring on the stupid throw by the short stop.

annoying but I can't blame the umps for not awarding the white sox a run on that even though adam would have easily scored if the guy didn't obviously basically tackle the runner to keep him from running.


ideally they just empty the loaded bases and it won't matter.


yup.. GRAND SLAM!!!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!


todd fraiser seems to be over his may issues.

How does the best offence in baseball by a wide margin devolve into this after 6 months?

Last year's Jays would have put up a 10 spot on Peavy with how badly he was pitching tonight

What's that old saying? Just when you think you have baseball figured out, the game surprises/humbles you.

people forget far to often that chemistry/ momentum can be just as important as talent as it's so much easier to bring your A game when you are there having fun instead of there as work.

TLR said that about the 2011 Cards. After they cleared the clubhouse of the negatives, the clubhouse atmosphere changed and they started their big run in Sept.

The Mets made their run last year once the clubhouse came together.

Chemistry in a clubhouse is huge.

it's obviously easier to have fun when you are winning, but for the first time in years the white sox look like little kids just playing for the sake of trying their best.
they are having a blast together and have a bunch of silly things that pump each other up.
