Oh those are facts. I didnt realize projections from a person are facts. Tell me what does your crystal ball say about the next President of the United States?
No idea. And with that....
Did you really ever think they were going to win tonight?
Awful awful team. They got by with good starting pitching and a closer that doesn't blow when they do have a chance to win.
This team is going to lose 85-90 games for sure.

I think I heard the royals just recently replaced their hitting coach with George Brett. I believe Stone said it earlier but I could be wrong. If that is the case, we should fire Manto and hire Thomas.
Yeah, and they should hire Robin Ventura as manager.
Oh wait...
I think the Sox are just riding out the Flowers experiment as long as possible. They committed to it, and they aren't going to bail in the first half of his first year as a regular.
Now, when August comes and the Sox are 10 back, it may be a different story.

When is Beckham projected to be return? I haven't been following his progress.
Probably next Friday.
5-3 ballgame, Valverde gives up a solo homer to Markakis.
5-4 Tigers, no out, bottom 9
Jones single
Davis single
Valverde is going to blow this.
Weiters pops out, 1st and 3rd, 1 out.
Hardy pops out, 2 out.
Dickerson 3-run homer. O's win.

Stephen Strasburg pulled early in tonight because of an apparent injury.
YIKES.
They should have just tried to win a championship last year.

There is another large tornado on the ground right now just south of OKC, a few miles north of Moore.
Unbelievable. Hope people don't die.
Baseball note--Oklahoma City is hosting the Omaha Storm Chasers. They are in a wind delay.

Anthony Bucciferro called up to Kanny to take Cose's place. Wonder if Kibby will go into rotation?
On a side note, sad to see CJ Retherford get released from the AA team he was on.
Drug suspension.
He's done.

Alexei Ramirez, Carlos Sanchez and J. Crain for Matt Adams and Kolten Wong
I'm probably not as big of a fan of Sanchez as most on here.
I was trying to come up with my own idea involving Alexei and Wong. This seems good to me.
Of course it won't happen, but...

I absolutely would. Eventually teams that finish 2nd or 3rd get lucky and hit the wild card.
Teams shouldn't think about their place in the division. They should be thinking 90 wins and hope they're good enough to qualify for the postseason. If it's a division win, great. If you have to win another game, go for it.
No team should take pride in a second place finish if they don't make the postseason. It's just another team that wasn't good enough.
