I'd hate to send Valdespin down until Tejada is back, and I'd think they want Rottino in for Friday or Sunday's game. Justin Turner actually will start at SS today to give Omar a day off.

*sees Yankees record*

*sees they had a 10-game winning streak*

... not helping the negative perception of Yankee fans, brah.

with you it venters wouldn't venters matter.

edit: WHO IS CORY WADE!?!?

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

ok he is just hanging in there.....

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Harumph!

 

[sangreal]

I like where this is going

 

[RBH]

Fuck off Durbin

 

[Malo]

Sigh

 

[RBH]

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Fuck off Durbin

Gameday made it look like he was getting squeezed. His Ball 4 to Martin looked pretty good. The 2-1 pitch to Jeter called for Ball 3 also looked good.

Durbin's been awesome this season. I'll cut him some slack.

 

[cashman]

braves are going to let this one slip away.

Ah, wasn't looking at Gameday. Wish I could watch the game at work.

*wonders if Dave Robertson is available today*

 

[Mr. Enigma]

That was Durbin's first run allowed since May 7. He had made 19 scoreless appearances before today.

 

[The Frankman]

A one run lead on this day in that park with the heart of the order coming to bat in the Bottom of the 8th...

Braves are going to need to score here.

That was Durbin's first run allowed since May 7. He had made 19 scoreless appearances before today.

Yeah, I don't get the dislike of Durbin either.

 

[The Frankman]

Braves just did the Get em on and Move em over part. Can they Drive em in?

 

[RBH]

Yeah, I don't get the dislike of Durbin either.

It's based off how awful he was initially. He has gotten better thankfully over the past month.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Yeah, I don't get the dislike of Durbin either.

He was Scott Proctor bad the first month of the season.

Durbin's also been awesome at stranding inherited runners. He's inherited 17 runners and only 2 have scored.

 

[The Frankman]

I'm not sure that ball is out in Turner Field.

EDIT: That's definitely not out in Turner.

 

[cashman]

false alarm.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I'm not sure that ball is out in Turner Field.

The Braves are owed some bullshit home runs after all the garbage that happened in Cincinnati's little league park.

 

[RBH]

 

[Malo]

Tight suit would have made that play.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

fuck....

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Yankee Stadium needs "bandbox advisory" notices along with heat advisories.

 

[G-Fex]

Shit. Barves on a roll!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Jesus, fuck this umpire. All three "balls" to Andruw should have been called.

 

[cashman]

Our long national nightmare is over. Feldman back to the pen, and Oswalt will make his first start on Friday.

Spoiler

please don't suck Oswalt.

 

[RBH]

Nice to take 2 out of 3 in Yankee Stadium!

 

[Jubs]

GG skankees lol. Onwards to red sux country.

 

[eznark]

lol didn't even know there was a new thread. ghetto gaf sucks. I blame kev.

 

[The Outsider]

Series win over the Yankees is nice, especially after recent suckitude.

My fellow North Americans, Rogers Cable is trying to bring the MLB Network to Canada.

Major League Baseball’s league-owned all-baseball channel MLB Network launched in 2009, and to date, it sees the largest distribution base of any of the other league networks. But, as of today, MLB Network is not seen in Canada, a case of being caught up in the approval process of the Canadian Television-radio Commission.

As early as 2009, Rogers Cable, who owns the Toronto Blue Jays, was trying to get MLB Network broadcasted in Canada (see MLB Network Reportedly Coming to Canada as "Baseball TV"). Rogers had let the license to pursue MLB Network expire last year.

But, according to a report today in The Globe and Mail, Rogers has begun actively pursuing  the league-owned network, again.

"MLB Network's market research in the U.S. and Canada indicates that Major League Baseball fans have a considerable demand for more information and insight about the sport of baseball," the network wrote in a letter supporting Rogers' application to the CRTC.

"MLB International believes that MLB Network should be added .... in doing so, the Commission will ensure that Canadian consumers are able to access a non-Canadian service that will provide unique programming content in a genre that does not currently exist in Canada."

[…]

Rogers argues in its application that the pay service would be complementary to existing coverage provided by its own spots channel, as well as those operate by RDS and TSN.

 "Of the 2,430 live regular-season games in Major League Baseball, MLB Network only features up to 150," the application states. "In other words, the percentage of live games offered on MLB Network is minimal compared to the number of live games that are available through Canadian specialty services like Rogers' Sportsnet. Any overlap in programming is insignificant to consumers today."

According to the report, the application for MLB Network in Canada is open for comment until mid-July.

MLB Network would not be the first sports channel from the United States to gain access into Canada. The CRTC has previously authorized the NFL Network, the Golf Channel and Speed for Canadian distribution.

That uniform is terrifying.

 

[rekameohs]

Rays show off their 1979 uniforms.

Still not hipster enough.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Maddon actually pulls it off well enough. That trend-setting bastard!

 

[darkside31337]

That uniform looks great.

 

[Zee-Row]

I like the uniform as well. Especially the cap.
