As one of the few Rays' fans here - let me just say fuck Texas and that roiding dirtbag Nelson "career minor leaguer without roids" Cruz.,

All hail DPrice and his dog Astro.
 
LoL i just drove back to my house and some drunk asshole is wandering around the subdivision with no shirt on looking drunk as fuck.

Guess he took the rangers losing worse than I did.

edit: lol at that gif

Still cracks me up that Delmon Young was batting 5th in a win or go home game last night.

I expect him to bat cleanup against the Indians. Wouldn't surprised me to see Joe go with 8 right handed bats in the starting lineup again like last night.
 
Team MVPs and LVPs according to fWAR:

Maicer Izturis was the least valuable player in baseball? I'm a little surprised...as terrible as he was, he didn't even seem like the least valuable player on the Jays. I guess he played more than most of their other crappy players -- i.e. Josh Thole was worth -.5 fWAR, but he got all that in fewer than 50 games; Ramon Ortiz was also worth -0.5, but he only pitched 25 innings. That said, if you go by bWAR, Josh Johnson was waaaay worse than Izturis, which lines up more with how it looked to me.

I am so sorry, Royals fans

Sweet! The return of the only manager who builds his lineups cards around sac bunting.

Also, we need a WAR stat for managers. It would be interesting to see how many extra wins we have to have to overcome him.
 
Andrew McCutchen was hit in the head with a fly ball during batting practice on Monday. A teammate distracted McCutchen in the outfield while shagging fly balls. A ball hit off the bat of Jordy Mercer clunked McCutchen in the ear. They said he should be fine. McCutchen refused to name the teammate who distracted him.

That fucking Jose Tabata trying to play tonight.
 
Jeff Francoeur came dangerously close to being the LVP for two teams.

He had a -0.5 fWAR with the Giants, just 0.1 more than Vogelsong and Zito.

Go Pirates. Cant wait for the game tonight

Me either.

Also, Pirates possibly linked to Jose Abreu? Not sure how I feel about it. On one hand, our 1B options at the moment are mediocre at best, but on another hand, he's going to command a lot of money and he's not necessarily a guarantee.
