It was a perfect strike. Montero weirdly stabbing down at the ball made it look worse than it was.

Josh Reddick you scrub. That had to be the most pathetic strike out ever.

For now. Until he realizes moving to 1B will make him a HoF...

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

The Rockies have now been mathematically eliminated from winning the NL West.

The great scare is over. We don't have to worry about a run now.

edit: If Posey keeps it up and moves to 1B he definitely has a shot at the hall. If he stays at catcher maybe. I just love watching him throw fools out.

They were fighting for their playoff lives the past two days and it showed.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Fuck their park. I hate it so much. I think even their pitchers hate that fucking place. They played hard, they usually do just like Arizona.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

This NL 2nd WC race is pathetic. Guess MIL/PHI are the only ones who care about winning it.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

I hope MIL gets that second spot. It'll give Ez a small amount of hope right before as they get crushed in the playoffs.

The lack of an NFL team in LA truly is a tragedy when they end up rooting for teams like Denver.

Nice win by the A's. Almost makes up for the stink job the Raiders pulled yesterday.

 

[Branduil]

LOL Angels

Wow, runners on the corners, zero outs, and you can't get the tying run in.

It might take 100 wins to clinch the AL West.

Rangers play plenty of games against both teams, so it should be easier than that

PS: check out Oakland's schedule.

 

[eznark]

I forgot how shitty the 2nd wild card team would be, so I guess its possible for them. although I don't think likely at all.

About to get swept: "these guys are so shitty"

You'd think Braves fans would be used to the annual collapse by now. So salty, Windu.

 

[yankeehater]

Wainwright getting smashed again.

Brewers and Phillies going to be only 4.0 back after tonight if Cards lose. Holy FUCK.

Yeah. Let's Go! The Phillies are coming for the Braves.

Brewers just needed to fire their bullpen coach, obviously.

The real reason:

Yeah. Let's Go! The Phillies are coming for the Braves.

I would not mind a Phillies Braves wild card game. Hopefully the Phillies would be able to hold the 6 run lead that the Braves would be sure to give them.

 

[Joey Fox]

I don't see much chance of the Phillies winning the 5 out of 6 against the Nationals it would take to gain ground. We'll see how it goes.

Ho many did the Phils win the last time they played the Nats? Also the Nats will have everything wrapped up by then, who knows if they will even play every one. Also by then the Phillies might already be ahead of the Cards and they wont even have to win 5/6.

Didn't the Phillies just sweep the Nationals?

 

[yankeehater]

Didn't the Phillies just sweep the Nationals?

Not only did they sweep them the last time they played them but they took 2/3 the series before that. 3/3 + 2/3 = 5/6 I believe.

 

[RobotHaus]

I know the Cardinals love to coast into the Post Season, it tends to be how things go in the years we win it all. But for the sake of the fanbase, if they could just establish a bit more breathing room, I'd be oh so happy.

Also, where did the Angels come from? If they overtake my Rays I will be very upset.

 

[Meier]

Well I poopoo'ed on the deal when it happened due to the contracts but I never thought we'd actually be worse since then. What a clusterfuck.

Rangers 2013 schedule is out

What a weird schedule this is. They don't play on Thursday for 6 straight weeks beginning in August, and they have a scheduled double header against the D-backs, who look like they are going to be the regional "rivals" of the Rangers.


It is pretty cool to see interleague games spread out though.

He posted a piece on Chipper Jones on Amazin Avenue. Im bout to comment on it and telll him to come back!

 

[yankeehater]

My god his stuff is so ridiculous.

 

[Joey Fox]

The Nats will be fighting for home field advantage RoS and a hundred win season. I'd be optimistic, since they did it recently, but it's not likely given the talent disparity.
