Cycle for De La Cruz in Cincy. That kid has come into the bigs on fire.
Cincy is having a month! Happy for that club; I see so many of their stars playing all over the league.
Horrible uniforms tonight though. Are they mimes?
Maybe not every team needs those city connects.Quote:

No one needs these things.
Blue and yellow. The Boston Marathon colors. I like them, but they are certainly polarizing.Quote:

The most Mets-y of Mets outings today. Up by 3 going into the bottom of the 8th. The Phillies walked three times, were hit twice, reached on an error and had just one hit in the four-run inning to take the lead (and teh game).
heard a rumor they are trying to pick off a yanks reliever.... and are willing to attach josh donaldson to the deal to get it done.
steve cohen is my new favorite owner!
Been a good series, watching the stream of game 3 right now. Cincy has a lot of young talent. Their pitching needs a bit of work.Quote:

And thanks for the background on those Boston city unis; makes much more sense now even if I'm not a fan.
Looking at the East divisions, does anyone feel like the Mets are this close to a clubhouse meltdown one of these days?
And is the Yanks' offense really that Judge-dependent?
did you miss last season when carp got injured and judge went into a mini slump and they didn’t win for six weeks?Quote:

fortunately the pitching has been nails and they’re hanging in
in other news, manoah just gave up 11 in 2 and change…. in single A!?

Ouch.
Josh Donaldson is really good at extracting large amounts of money from MLB general managers and delivering little more than an annoying personality in the clubhouse in return. Made a career of it really.Quote:

I remember a few years ago when they were trying to make him one of the stars of the league and everyone was so just like, “yeah, we’re good.”Quote:

Very, very, very rarely is there a headline that starts “Twins exec opens up over fleecing other team on trade”Quote:

Lol. I’m extremely grateful to be a fan of a club with a front office that routinely wins trades, year in, year out (because they have to in order to survive). I’m also glad the Twins are in our division (and I actually like them unlike those insufferable Southside Ozzie Guillen ball garglers).Quote:

Guardos-Royals game in KC right now and the tv crew just noticed the scoreboard operator must be a Crimson Tide fan, cause they’re using the Alabama “A” and crimson background for the Atlanta Braves logo on the “scores around the league board” ha!
The Royals are almost as embarrassing as the A’s
Right? They won that Series very much how these Guardos play, killer Starters, lockdown Pen, and scrappy, hustling, 1-run wins any way you can.Quote:
