Mets refused to trade the Yankees any players, but they gave away four wins in exchange for nothing.

In exchange for a higher draft pick.



At least that is what I'm telling myself.

Looks like Marlins are stuck with that ugly thing.

The kitschy home-run sculpture at Marlins Park can't be removed by Derek Jeter or anyone else who might buy the team, according to its owner: Miami-Dade County.

Standing 73 feet tall, the mechanical display sends marlins and flamingos whirring whenever the Marlins hit a home run. It was commissioned as part of Miami-Dade's Art in Public Places program, which requires construction of county buildings to include art as well. The sculpture by well-regarded pop artist Red Grooms is named ”Homer," cost $2.5 million and, like Marlins Park, belongs to Miami-Dade's government.

”The County commissioned and purchased the Home Run Sculpture with the public art funds generated by the ballpark project," Michael Spring, head of the county's cultural affairs arm, said in an email Thursday. It ”was designed specifically for this project and location and is permanently installed. It is not movable."

Could a new ownership group remove the sculpture? Yes, theoretically, but only if the Miami-Dade commission granted permission for its removal, Hernández said. But Spring, the cultural director, said Miami-Dade's current position is that the sculpture needs to be treated like the piece of valuable art that it is.

*looks up Red Grooms*

good god that statue might be the best looking thing he has made @_@

stupid scams getting terrible artists well known and lots of money and keeping good artists from ever being anything @_@

 

[rekameohs]

I'm p. cool with 4-6 on this Hell Week+

 

[nnex]

Statcast said it was only 440 ft, but I've never seen a ball hit where Tommy Pham just hit one. What a monster blast.

Edit: ughhh

 

[zulux21]

woot white sox lose.

and either the philles or SF will win today moving the white sox one step closer to the top draft spot.

The Atlanta Braves host the Reds this weekend, and Friday's and Saturday's games will celebrate Hank Aaron Heritage Weekend. Aaron is of course an inner circle baseball legend and a living national treasure. He's the face of the Braves franchise, and it's fitting they honor him with regularity. In addition to some pretty cool giveaways, the Braves will also don some Aaron-era threads for the games this weekend:

Looks like a job for alt-left extremists. Get the rope.

 

[Corran Horn]

yay we win!


but fuck we beat the phillies...lol

Man if Gary Sanchez had of played the whole season he might have had a shot at 40 homers.

If Jennifer Lopez and A-Rod had had lunch with earlier he would have 50 already. ( according to the NY post)

I'll be holding auditions today to fill the role of my new favorite baseball team for the remainder of the year

"art"

That thing is not art, it's a monstrosity that makes small children cry. For the sake of the children, please give the order to remove it, Miami-Dade County.

 

[Line_HTX]

As if crushed home runs aren't enough to do damage to that hideous "monument."

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Pedro Martinez has pitched more than David Price this season.

Is it too late to throw him in the rotation?

Please do so. He can pitch to daddy.

Yankees to re-sign Karim Garcia.

 

[RR30]

And since they are facing the Reds pitching staff they might hit 755 home runs this series to honor him.

 

[Sanjuro]

Yankees to re-sign Karim Garcia.

Who?

 

[Beckx]

this is one weird year of the baseball

why are we still in the wild card race

 

[bonesmccoy]

It's very sweet that Donaldson has decided to carry the team into the wildcard race but could you fucking not

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Looks like Marlins are stuck with that ugly thing.

Stanton's contract?

That's the question that all the AL teams are asking each other right now.

Muh history.

 

[Line_HTX]

Is there any more boring a broadcast team than Astro TV? Watched a half inning and it feels like it's been an hour.

I missed this, but if you think thoughtful analysis and good synergy is boring, then I'm sorry. Kalas is a very welcoming replacement after Brown retired.

 

[CosmicQueso]

They did an entire half inning segment on ceremonial first pitches followed by a 5 minute story about one of the guys throwing out a ceremonial first pitch in Philadelphia. Then they panned the camera around the crowd and showed some kid eating cotton candy.

Thoughtful analysis and synergy lol.

 

[Line_HTX]

You don't even watch the majority of the broadcasts, that is not all they do. By and large they are very good.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

SWEEEEEEEEEEP

I hate the team I support.

I'm curious to see how many Jays fans invade Wrigley.

 

[17 Seconds]

lester joins contreras and russell on the DL

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

Edit: ughhh

Is there a video of it?

 

[Sanjuro]

I've spent the day listening to people bitch about changing the name of Yawkey Way.

Bud Light Way

 

[Fox318]

Wish the Yankees could play the Mets every game.

It would be great

 

[Chris R]

A damn shame the Mariners don't get to see those sweet looking jerseys

Also a shame I'll be away from home, making it hard to watch/see ATLs stadium

They were talking about an 9 year old boy who wanted to be a member of the team for a day through the Make-a-Wish Foundation. He also threw out the first pitch.

THEN Todd Kalas goes on to talk about him and his brothers throwing out the first pitch in the first Phillies home game after his father Harry died back in 2009.

 

[RampagingSoul]

I don't think I care for the Royals broadcast team; they are middle of the road to me. Rex is just too much of a homer for me sometimes and his Rexisms can be pretty annoying. Physioc just keeps getting facts and names wrong all the time along with some plays sometimes... Ryan is pretty good.

My cousin is playing for the Blue Jays against the Cubs tomorrow... Wish him the best, but I don't know having to face the Cubs and pitching against Quintana, too... Not the best matchup for him.

 

[Sanjuro]

I don't bless the rain tonight. Was offered tickets to buy overpriced beer for a couple hours.

 

[gamz]

lester joins contreras and russell on the DL

At least it's just 10 day. He'll miss two starts and it'll do him some good down the stretch. We need a strong Lester to hopefully close this out.

 

[Sanjuro]

I didn't take the tickets and now they try this game?!
