Fuck California. Fuck LA and fuck Puig. Collins is a fucking moron, no reason to pitch to Gonzalez there.
I hope someone hits Puig in in the ribs so he can learn some character.

Lol. If he had more character his ass would still be stuck in Cuba.
Character can come later.

Prince Fielder getting divorce
This needs to get taken care of before the postseason starts goddammit. He was killing it in April, then fell off right after.

It's nice having a semi-respectable division again for a change. You guys still have a bunch of games against the Twins and White Socks and a 4 game set against the Astros. A couple series against the Royals too. If they do ok on this trip they're in a good position the rest of the way.
I'm never going into September expecting the playoffs unless Detroit has like a 11 game lead. 2009 and 2011 has made me overly cautious. Hope we can knock out the Royals in this series.

With the proviso that I don't believe in intangibles, character means nothing, "clubhouse guys" only matter when teams are winning, etc...this stat kind of gives me pause:
The Blue Jays with Munenori Kawasaki -- terrible hitter, mediocre fielder, all-around subpar major league baseball player -- on the team: 38-33 (.535 winning percentage)
The Blue Jays without Kawasaki: 17-32 (.347 winning percentage)
Admittedly, he's marginally better than Emilio Bonifacio and Maicer Izturis. But not so much so that he should be making any difference. And yet...the Jays do play better with him around. And without him they're basically the Astros.

Going right back where we were a decade ago when games were regularly three and a half hours long. I pity the poor souls who subject themselves to Yanks/Red Sox games.
They're already like that. The problem is pitchers who work super-slow and batters who constantly call time-out. Not to mention all the pitching changes in today's game.

Duration of games isnt a problem, as mush as the pace.
Nice work by Torii Hunter in alerting the media.

Andrus cleared waivers and people are actually surprised he did confuses the hell out of me.
He's a really shitty hitter on a shitty contract.

Can he play SS? Phillies desperately need one of those.

Yep, signed in May. Its unfortunate and divorce is a serious matter and I feel really bad for him. Which makes a day off or two even more important. Let him clear his head.

It's funny how Kemp is having one of his worst seasons and The Dodgers are having one of their best.

Probably have a rotating outfield for each game. One guy will sit for PH.
I just hope when Kemp does come back he can stick around for more than one game.

Instant Replay in 2014 will give managers three challenges. They can only use one between innings 1-6 and will have two available from innings 7-9.
Seems instant replay challenges in 2014 are official:

I expect all six challenges to be used often in games with Angel Hernandez and C.B. Bucknor.

"Where's that ball?"
What kind of arbitrary bullshit is that?

One step closer to being modern.
Everyone knows that the last few innings are more important than the others. That's why the closers get the big bucks.

It's not official yet. The owners still have to vote on it in November. It has to get a 75% vote to become official.

They should just platoon Kemp and Ethier in CF. Ethier because he sucks against lefties and Kemp because he's made out of glass.
