Another blown win because of relief pitching, all those bums need to go back to the minors
-
Looks like Troy Tulowitzki wants out , never officially said it but the comments are pretty clear.
"In Todd Helton, there's someone who's easy to look at his career here and how it played out. I have the utmost respect for Todd, but at the same time, I don't want to be the next in line as somebody who was here for a long time and didn't have a chance to win every single year. He played in a couple postseason games and went to one World Series. But that's not me. I want to be somewhere where there's a chance to be in the playoffs every single year."

The New York Yankees have cut ties with Alfonso Soriano and now have 10 days to trade, release or waive him.
New York made room for right-handed pitcher Bruce Billings by designating Soriano for assignment on Sunday, manager Joe Girardi announced.
"We designated Soriano, which is extremely difficult because he's been a great Yankee and been a great player," Girardi said. "We felt we needed some more pitching today, so we called up Billings. Bullpen has been extremely taxed."
Soriano said the decision didn't come as a surprise.
"It was to be expected," Soriano told ESPNdeportes.com. "I had already talked to my lawyer about the situation I was going through, and how I was being used in the game, and how I didn't feel comfortable. This decision is a favorable one for both, me and the team."
New York re-acquired Soriano, who is hitting .204 against right-handed pitchers this season, from the Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline last season and he hit 17 home runs and had 50 RBIs in 58 games. Soriano has previously indicated that he could retire after this season, particularly if he had a bad year.
Still in the final year of his eight-year, $138 million contract, Soriano gave up his right field duties to Ichiro Suzuki as he struggled at the plate. The Cubs are paying $13 million of Soriano's $18 million salary this season. New York still owes him the remaining $5 million. -
Regression to the mean for my Marlins. Braves and Nationals have created separation on us. At least we got 2 out of 3 in St. Louis.

Glad my boy Stanton is in the All-Star Game. Would have been nice to see Casey McGehee make the squad though.

Who y'all got winning the derby? Here's the lineup:
American League: Jose Bautista, Blue Jays (captain); Adam Jones, Orioles; Brian Dozier, Twins.
National League: Troy Tulowitzki, Rockies (captain); Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins; Yasiel Puig, Dodgers; Todd Frazier, Reds. -
I'm thinking Puig puts on a show in the first round but Stanton wins the whole thing.Sidenote: Who the ? are Brian Dozier and Todd Frazier?
-
I'm just glad Jose Abreu ain't in the derby
-
Verlander just can't get right
-
Can the sleeping fan win his lawsuit?
-
Stanton wins the derby.
-
Puig bettet not ? up his swing but he better not let la down like.kemp did in the derby smh
-
Damn WTF?!!! Dodgers were up 5-0 in the first. Now they are down 14-5 in the 8th. Ouch.
-
Puig will definitely put on a good show but it may run long with him flipping his bat after every HR. He's gonna try to one up Cespedes from last year.
-
Great Win Green Collar Crew, we got the Tigers shook, Valender acting all out of character after the trade talking about the World Series going through Detroit, we ain't scared. We coming through!
Young Moolah Ball Baby!
