Hey Red Sox, get your shit together please.

 

[clemenx]

Holy crap, Red Sox suck.

 

[McNei1y]

It's pathetic that the Nats pitchers are better batters than most of the lineup. Strasburg hits a double last night and Gonzalez hits a double right now.

 

[h3ro]

I for one, bow down to my Jango-led overlords.

 

[calder]

Hey Red Sox, get your shit together please.

I guess it was too much to hope these basement dwellers could take a few games from the O's and help us out. Useless scrubs.

 

[Sanjuro]

Still waiting for my Nick Punto jersey to skyrocket in price.

 

[Flunkie]

We need a GIF of Papi breaking his bat over his head, STAT.

Can you shoop Josh Beckett in for the bat?

MLB, NCAA In Serious Talks About Scholarship Funds
By Mike Axisa
In an effort to improve diversity and draw more of the country's best amateur athletes to baseball, MLB is in serious discussions with the NCAA to provide additional scholarship funds according to Bryan Fischer of CBSSports.com. Colleges are currently limited to 11.7 scholarships for baseball and many schools are unable to fund even that many.

Baseball America's Aaron Fitt reports that a contingent of NCAA officials met with MLB executive vice president Rob Manfred and MLBPA head Michael Weiner in New York three weeks ago, and "talks are really picking up steam." Colleges had 13 scholarships at their disposal until a 10% reduction in 1991, and American Baseball Coaches Association executive Dave Keilitz told Fitt that it would be a "huge victory" to get back to 13 scholarships soon. "Personally, I'm hopeful it's more ambitious than that," he added.

Colleges are currently allotted 85 scholarships for football and 13 for basketball, drawing some players away from baseball. It's been speculated that the draft spending restrictions implemented by the collective bargaining agreement could push prospects to other sports as well. In addition to scholarship funding, the two sides have discussed moving the College World Series to better accommodate the draft as well as the widespread implementation of wood bats according to Fischer.

This needs to happen. Get more talent into baseball.

ARam led off the inning with a popup error that got him to second. Roenicke then had Hart sac bunt him to third. With Izturis and Conrad coming up. Hart had a .907 ops by the way.

Now we're getting crushed. Of course.

[jman2050]

Hey maybe Jose Valverde wasn't the awesome pitcher we all thought he was last year? That's a thought!

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

I thought Sale was the new closer.

He is, just started though so probably tomorrow or next week.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Didn't see the top of the 9th. How did "Papa Fatass" blow the game?

 

[Fenix]

He is, just started though so probably tomorrow or next week.

Oh ok. That makes sense.

 

[Square Triangle]

Didn't see the top of the 9th. How did "Papa Fatass" blow the game?

[The Insane Dufresne]

Dunn smoked a 2 run 422 footer.

Why pitch to Dunn in the 9th inning?

*facepalm*

 

[Sanjuro]

Why pitch to Dunn in the 9th inning?

*facepalm*

Exactly. He'll still be swinging anyway.

 

[eznark]

ez, how bad is A gonz injury?

I'm guessing torn ACL and MCL. He destroyed it. Probably some ankle Damage as well.
