I wish we still did 7 inning double-headers.

How about getting in five and winning

Cleveland weather forecast is clear with little chance of double headers and other s%*# that could screw things up.

I got blasted the last time I posted this but I envy the folks that can change the channel or forget there is a game going on.

When elephants fight, it's the grass that gets trampled. or as Thucydides’ said "The strong do what they can and the weaker suffer what they must." Millionaires fighting with billionaires and the people who will lose the most, the fans, will passionately take sides, instead of banding together to tell both sides to f*** off.

I hope we could be changing the title to "What Broke Mune Out"

It seems like for most of the mega contracts teams "win" the first end of the contract and the player "wins" the second. Some fans would rather see a contract 30-30-20-20-10-10 instead of 20 a year for six years to match the stats. With by spreading the payroll out you have more room early when the player is at his peak, plus future money is cheaper than today's money.

My cardiologist approves of this message.

Playing for a bye.

Next 4?

Interesting. I would rather have a rainout at home then on the road.

It would be nice if Boston had a shot at home field advantage for their wildcard series. But that seems really unlikely.

And the opposite. I've seen some pretty good pitchers get pounded by mediocre offenses.

Obviously he's motivated by the comments here. Unlike his manager we're not afraid to kick his ass.

Do you fire him if the team didn't make any trades at the deadline?

I really expected to see Mune down there today.

Braves, Cubs, and Guardians seem to have won the trade deadline moves. An obvious swing and miss for the Sox.

Dance with the one that brought you is a nice saying but eventually you have to make a switch, help the team's chances and help a guy out

Well he is finished in baseball. If it becomes clear that the organization knew and covered for him, it will take a organizational purge at the top to bring back a lot of fans.

We're looking at the scoreboard not the draft board in September.

You can't sweep unless you win the first.

Agreed. I would never bet on anyone with his stat line no matter the franchise he's going to. If someone set the odds of his being a serviceable starter next season he's probably somewhere short of a long shot, but not a favorite. The back end of the rotation will be a battle between can he do it again versus can he reach his potential? This franchise has always had to rely on some luck to be successful.

It looked like Ohio went from playing to win to playing not to lose. You just can't sit on leads like it's 1970.

Overall good weekend for the SEC. They are looking like the deepest conference. But at the very top are a few teams in other conferences that are equal or better.
