Must be hard to win without a wind tunnel in right for your 7 lefties to hit popups into.
Sweep. Feels good.
Smh at the fan though. Show some class. You're not a Cubs fan.
Also, to whoever said something about Sale's slider, hitters have been saying it's the best left-handed slider in the league apparently.

It's pretty hilarious that the Dodgers picked up Victorino even after that fight in the NLCS

Just one more inning. Pull it together bullpen.

There's two things you don't do in life: taunt a grown man for wearing braces or question what he does with his Dove skin care products while watching "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo". He's obviously not confident in his own skin.

At least the Giants got all the winning out of their system before ATL came to town. Can't beat a four-game series without having to face Matt Cain. A shame Melky's gone because he was definitely going to get some retribution.

My friend was talking about how he has to listen to people talk about Honey Boo Boo at work. I had to look it up... her Mom looks like the Body of Krang. I've seen that gif of her dancing this skanky dance in the audience like 100 times on GAF, I wish I could find it. I'm going to look it up here in a second... but her looks just SCREAM Southern US.

Dodgers need to get the last spot so they can play on the road more often.. Ala LA Kings

Since June 5, Dan Uggla's slash line is .144/.300/.256. His average and slugging is the lowest in MLB among qualified hitters.
Jesus.

So not only is he not playing great defense at second, but he's hitting below what's expected from a marginal infielder? SMH
his line still looks monstrous compared to adam dunn last year lol
Mr. Enigma

And the Braves owe him $39 million the next three seasons.
The only upside to Uggla this year is that he leads the NL in walks. He's not swinging at garbage like he did last season. He's just not getting anything on good pitches at all. But at the same time, even when he slumped last year, he was still hitting bombs.

To bad the Pirates dont have a wildcard spot.
Lol, I haven't thought about the playoffs for this shit show in two months.

Honestly, if you are someone like Colon, why wouldn't you use steroids? You're not HOF, you have no connections to the franchise and you could earn millions more (gauranteed) dollars if you get away with it.
50 games almost seems too light. It almost makes sense to punish the franchise a bit and make them accountable for steroid abuse also. Maybe even forcing them into doing testing. Of course, that would have to be bargained for in the next CBA.

Teams should have to forfeit some wins if a player gets busted. That would put an end to it real quick.
But what would determine what wins they take away?
I wouldn't do that, but I would punish the front office. Guy gets busted? Lose a draft pick. Force teams to self-police and steroids will be gone.

I dont want to take away stats from the non-cheaters, but you could say a team gets a 10 loss penalty if a guy gets busted for PEDs. Just add 10 to their loss column without actually taking away wins. That would be a huge deterrent and it would make teams think twice before signing a guy with a questionable past.

This isn't the NCAA. Baseball isn't going to shit all over its record books with asterisks, standing adjustments, retroactive division champions or whatever ridiculous scenarios that would come from that. All that's needed is to tweak the individual punishment to the point where players won't juice. One year > Three Year > Lifetime sounds good enough, even though the second strike is basically a life sentence.
