Braun, who should be back Friday, is hitting .472 with five homers and a 1.568 OPS during the 9-0 home stretch versus the Pirates.

Fuck you Braun.

I know this is for the AAA, but I'm still pissed that as a MLB TV Premium sub, I have to pay another $10 to get the iPad app. I praise Sony for working a deal where I can get a near HD streams with my subscription via multiple PS3's at no additional cost.

sony didn't work out a deal. Its just that in the mobile space companies can get away with charging for applications because its the norm. MLB.TV on the PC/Mac, and all of the other devices like the ps3, boxee, roku, dvd players, tvs, etc.. only require a subscription because customers are not used to paying for applications on those devices. That is the worst thing about these new smartphones, the precedent that they are setting with having to pay for things that were once free.

So I expect a HR from Wells this weekend? LOL

Al Alburquerque got nailed in the head by a line drive while standing in the OF during batting practice.

He was down for a while and was taken off the field on a cart. Evidently pretty scary stuff.

Honestly shocked it doesn't happen more often. Guys in the OF during BP are hardly paying attention to what's going on around them.

BALTIMORE -- Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Al Alburquerque rode off the field on a cart today after being hit in the head with a fly ball during batting practice.

Alburquerque writhed in pain on the ground in the moments after being hit as he was playing catch in left field while the Orioles took batting practice. Several teammates and training staff members rushed to his aid.

Alburquerque eventually stood up with assistance and climbed onto a cart before being driven off the field.

An update on his condition was not immediately available.

Holy fuck, AlAl has been a great story for us this season too. I mean, I wouldn't want it to happen to Brad Penny either but...well...damn

too funny. love ya vern.

btw, faith in toronto fans redeemed. nice ovation.

 

[darkside31337]

Don't hate Vernon but the notion that Vernon was a great guy because he didn't ask for a trade out of Toronto is stupid.

He probably thought it was a mortal lock that no other team in the league would dare touch that contract. Nobody assumed Reagins would be that stupid.

Nice to see that Vernon is still getting signs from the man in white though.

 

[darkside31337]

KOTCHMAN!

Go Rays!

SHOPPACH!

Sabathia is a fraud.

He's a great guy because he's actually a great guy. Ignoring any baseball stuff. I don't blame baseball players for the contracts that someone offered them. Vern gave back tremendously to the city, and really didn't let all the bullshit get to him that much. He was bood pretty much every at-bat in 2009, and I don't rememer him ever bitching.

I don't think I've ever seen someone say Vernon is awesome because he didn't ask for a trade.

Rays sweep and they got a shot at making some noise

 

[sf2fanatic]

KOTCHMAN!

Go Rays!

SHOPPACH!

Sabathia is a fraud.

Just picked up Kotch in waiver wire....2nd in avg chilling in free agent pool.

2 years Bautista was the same. Picked up half way in season...BOMBISTA THAT YEAR!!!

 

[Taxman]

I'm convinced Hamels put those guys on base in the 1st just so he could get to Werth and strike him out to end the inning.

 

[darkside31337]

DAMON!

Rays with 3 homers in the 3rd.

Crazy.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Is this real life?

DFA CC

EDIT: Actually just get rid of AJ. His shittyness is spreading to CC and Mo.

 

[clemenx]

Lol CC.

 

[Celsior]

CC showing he deserves a new contract.

 

[Windu]

CC is going to opt out of his contract and sign with the Phillies to be their 4th starter.

 

[Doytch]

Molina you fat POS.

 

[Sharp]

Livan > Hamels

Also Stras just finished three innings in Potomac... 33 pitches, 5 strikeouts, no walks and two infield singles, no balls out of the infield. He was supposed to get more pitches in so he's pitching BP. Also reportedly touched 100 on the gun.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

you damn well better honor that contract CC....

If all continues good, by when shall we see him up again?

Uggla hit number 32, a HR.

 

[mre]

Uggla with much gusto!

 

[Doytch]

Peter Bourjos has been worth 4.3 WAR this year (using Dewans +/-). Talk about flying below the radar, that's waaaay better than I thought he was doing.

Sometime in early September, most likely.

too soon? when did he get surgery?

Gorgeous Bourjos is awesome.

Seriously the CF version of Brett Gardner.

Mike Trout can't be the future CF of the Angels because Bourjos is there to stay.

 

[mre]

Down here, 92 degrees in Mid-August IS cold.

 

[Sharp]

too soon? when did he get surgery?

End of August last year. People still throw around the 12-18 month figure but these days most players are ready to come back around the twelve month mark, if not earlier. If he's healthy I see no reason for him not to get some work in this year.

Yes?

Braves fans were killing him the most.

He was AWFUL. He deserved to be ragged on.

What do you mean by LOL? Have you seen his season numbers?

 

[darkside31337]

Great play by the Rays defense all around there to bail out Price for giving up a gapper to Andruw Jones.

ELLIOT JOHNSON!

Sabathia is truly stinking up the joint.

Elliot's first homer since June 22.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Rays are stealing signals.

 

[darkside31337]

Robinson Cano with an embarrassing error, but the official scorer giving Jennings a double there was even more sad.

Seriously how can you not call that an error.
