Doesn't matter what the conditions, if you have that ERA combined with that record, your offense really, really sucks.
Two 1-0 losses will do the trick

Detroit is in first place largely on beating these exact teams. They are 12-5 against Houston and Minnesota, and 1 game over against the rest of baseball. There is nothing wrong with beating up bad teams. Those games don't count for any less in the standings.
If the Sox had beaten a bad KC team last year, they may have made the playoffs.

Those improved, young, exciting Royals are currently in 4th place behind the s***ty, old, boring White Sox. Huh, go figure.

Yadier Molina does an incredible job.
This article is very long and it's more about Yadier's brother Jose, but it's a pretty impressive study of pitch framing.

Cards are running out of pitchers. Garcia's out for the year, Westbrook's out, and now Gast left today's game with shoulder tightness. They'll probably call up Wacha now.
The last two seasons they lost their #1 or #2 pitcher in spring training, yet still managed to make it deep in the playoffs. Although, it might be tougher now without Duncan recycling garbage into dcent pitchers.

Great series of pressure to get the first marker of the night
Finally a nice juicy rebound straight at a Hawk

I don't know what this means. Are you trying to say that dunking over Chris Andersen is more impressive than dunking on Ewing because other great players did it?
It is difficult to dunk on Chris Andersen when he's constantly suspended for doing every drug in the book.

I just have no idea what to do with myself on my days off from work. Today I watched Saved by the Bell and Boy Meets world for like 3 hours, then went to the gym for an hr. Now I'm just sitting on my couch extremely bored. BOOOOORING.
Enjoy it while you can young man. I wish I had time like that to just sit on my couch and watch 90s TV.

Does he have a brother named Reggie?
Then he would be hitting 450-foot homers during batting practice, but claiming he wasn't ready to face MLB pitching.
Remember when these series were the hottest ticket in the town and people actually cared about them? I doubt I even send one s***-talking text to my Cubs fan friends next week.
