You can thank Puig/Hanley for that.

Highest payroll in history and rest of division fucking up have quite a helping hand.

Yu is awesome.

I wanted him so badly on the Dodgers, but the Rangers got him. ;_;

 

[Dominican Power]

Kershaw and Darvish would not be fair.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Punto!

 

[brianjones]

puig giveth

puig taketh

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Ah, so four sub-500 teams and three that are still in it. Not too bad a schedule.

Here's a pretty good article on perspective over the Royals, Tigers and Indians schedules the rest of the way.

Any of the three teams can make destiny, they just need to keep winning.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Fuck this ump.

Nobody came to see you ump.

ROBOT UMPS 4 LIFE

 

[brianjones]

[HarryDemeanor]

"That is so bad."

INSTANT EJECTION!

[HarryDemeanor]

Crap I missed that. Hopefully a gif pops up soon.

lol they were bankrupt at the time.

Someone said there was a dodgers fan doing the robot right after Ryu scored. Let's a hope a gif shows up.

 

[KidA Seven]

lol they were bankrupt at the time.

I know. I was dreaming ok. ;_;

How does Major League Baseball not have any policy on what to do with the salary of suspended ballplayers? The NHL donates the money. It's kind of ridiculous that the Yankees will not only benefit from cheating with a player who used PEDs, but they also get to effectively void a financial agreement that made it difficult for them to avoid paying the Luxury Tax.

Any team in that situation would benefit. I find it funny that no one was calling for the Brewers to pay Braun for the rest of the season.

Jeez. Good article, and yeah, after reading that I guess it's a pretty equal strength of schedule for all three going forward. All three of these teams are sprinting right now, and we'll just have to see who falls out first.

That said, if the Royals just stay in it and have a near miss getting in to the playoffs, I'll be happy knowing they made MASSIVE progress this year. (Of course, I'll be ecstatic if they actually finally make it for the first time in 28 years, haha. That would be better.).

Also, I'm excited for this Mets series. I like the Mets, and I'd like to think if I was from New York, I'd have the decency to be a Mets fan. Of course I hope we keep the streak going, but I do dig the Mets.

Although John Buck is on my shit list, I remember this from a few weeks ago, lol:

“I played for the Royals, man,” Buck said. “It was not my first blowout.”

I will enjoy the day the Royals are good again Duane, it'll be so much sweeter when teh Yanks beat you guys again....

British born and bred.

I'm pretty committed to going to sleep at sensible times these days, so I would only watch day-games live. Which was fine considering 'ESPN America' would show most of them for free.

Now I guess I'm down for mlbtv's free game of the day.

coool. what drew you to the game?

 

[NomarTyme]

Thank you Puig! nice run on the fly ball.

I wouldn't mind continual surges from the Indians and Royals while the Tigers fall off...it'd be a nice change of pace in the playoff picture for once

In other news, Indians are facing a pretty hot pitcher in Jose Fernandez. Probably their best pitcher? Where we have Ubaldo going, who's had a pretty superb July.

If we get hot July Ubaldo, I like our chances in clutching some hits and runs from the Fish, otherwise, could be a long night.

 

[Dominican Power]

I have both The Royals and Indians losing today.

 

[cashman]

Miggy, late scratch

Hopefully a trade to the Rangers is in the works here.

 

[rando14]

:lol

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Indians have hit good pitchers well all year long. They're great at running up the pitch count, and with no DH, pinch hitting becomes that much more important to us later in the game. Thankfully the Tribe has a great bench.

Still depends on if we get FrankenUbaldo or not though.

 

[Square Triangle]

Has Ubaldo ever seen what the 6th inning looks like?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Has Ubaldo ever seen what the 6th inning looks like?

He went 8 full innings in his last outing where he shutout Texas, so yes...

 

[NomarTyme]

Fucking JP Howell

DP baby!

 

[Dominican Power]

He went 8 full innings in his last outing where he shutout Texas, so yes...

Watch him get blown up by The Marlins. Baseball is funny like that.

 

[brianjones]

and they get the dp anyway!

Arizona playing Boston is a good opportunity to get a big lead

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Watch him get blown up by The Marlins. Baseball is funny like that.

or maybe he'll blow up a pitch from Fernandez for his first home run with the Tribe!

Spoiler

lawl. He has an awkward-ass swing.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Come on, Cubs. It's like we passed on the suckness to them. 12 hits and only 2 runs.

 

[JABEE]

Dick Allen at the Wall of Fame induction for Curt Schilling.

Edit: Dutch Daulton looks okay. He has terminal brain cancer and is going to be undergoing chemotherapy soon.

 

[NomarTyme]

outstanding catch by Puig! what a play!

 

[jakncoke]

Nice first inning by Cole

 

[Macattk15]

I was at Fenway last night.

I don't know how I didn't kill myself.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE'S MARMOL.

 

[shwimpy]

Marmol time... :/

 

[KidA Seven]

The fuck man.

Marmlol

Must give the cubs confidence knowing they're up against him.

 

[NomarTyme]

Lead off double for the Cubs. Fuck you Marmol.

 

[shwimpy]

Warm up Jensen.

edit - thank you.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Put in League. I trust him more than Marmol.

 

[dmag1223]

LOL, well at least I don't have to waste my night watching this game.

 

[shwimpy]

cubs, LOL

 

[NomarTyme]

lmao dumbass cubbie.

Put in League. I trust him more than Marmol.

They already used him.

 

[jakncoke]
