Dylan Bundy needs Tommy John.

 

As a baseball fan, that f***ing sucks.

Mets win to match the Sox record 32-43.

 

Tied for 4th worse record approaching the half way point.

Roy Hobbs hits another bomb for the Rays

LOL at the Royals

F**K Puig it's all about Chris Davis this season...MY GOODNESS.

 

Just hit 2 more homers, up to 30 & 3 shy of his career high already.

Beckett having season ending surgery.

 

They may be looking for a pitcher if they stay close.

After the unofficial halfway point (most teams have played alteast 81 games), your best team: the Pittsburgh Pirates.

 

At 21 games over .500, they would have to fall completely on their faces for a 3rd straight year to not finish above .500 for the first time in 20 years.

The Pirates... find a way.

Which will make it even funnier when they collapse and don't make the playoffs again.

Do they see themselves as more legit this year than in previous years? I.e. are they going to look for better deadline additions than "washed-up Derrick Lee" and guys like that?

Lee was actually really good for them that year. Anyways, their team is much, much better this year than in previous years. Better and deeper pitching staff, more talent offensively. They could still use a bat in RF, and I'd have no problem taking on the "busts" that are James McDonald and Travis Snider.

I'm not sold on Locke & Morton and Liriano is always due for a meltdown. They could use AJ Burnett to return. But if Melancon & Grilli can keep up their Politte/Cotts act, I guess they could hang in there this time.

Marlins 17-10 in the last month.

 

Jose Fernandez has a crazy curve.

Keep on winning Marlins. We are now only 3 games out of the #1 pick!

Astros are worse. 3.5. About to be 4.

 

Wouldn't that be a kick in the nuts if the Sox get the #1 pick? I hope it happens.

A kick in the nuts? Hell no, that'd be amazing. A kick in the nuts would be the Sox having a great second half and ending up with the 17th pick next year. Last thing we need to mid-round picks.

Are there any Harper type monsters coming out next year? :-D

 

The thing about the stros and Marlins is that they actually have young talent that should get better as the season moves along. The White Sox, if you expect them to trade some of their only decent assets, could easily wind up losing 100 games.

 

GO TEAM GO!

Rodon, the LHP from NC State....but there haven't really been any hitters that have emerged yet as candidates for the top pick, but a million things can change between now and next June.

 

There's nobody right now viewed as better than Bryant, for example, the Cubs' pick this year.

Homer Bailey 3 outs away.

Is it too late to make that ever talked about Dye for Bailey trade?

97mph in the 9th, impressive

Damn you, Hal Bodley.

 

We all thought we had Bailey for Dye back in the day. 2nd career no-hitter, joins a pretty exclusive group of repeaters.

Zzzzzzzzzzz@no-hitter #98 since 2009.
