Rookie pitcher Cole is now 4-0, despite giving up 3 runs in the first inning. He's also batting .333

Ah, so I see that tool Ken Harrelson is still the main guy on the WGN White Sox announcing crew. 

*Indians take the lead*
*2 minutes of background noise*

The Rangers game needs to hurry up and start.

On bandwaggoning Pittsburghers: PNC Park has been sold out five times in a row for the first time since 2001.

Also, the Bucs have the best record in baseball. I will savor it while it lasts (I expect the annual breakdown after the All Star Game. :P ).

The Pirates are smoking...like haven't been since Leyland was the manager.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

If they can keep up their pitching mojo, it may last longer than most people expect.

Indians are back in first!  Roll Tribe! :cool:

Bryce Harper with a HR in his first AB off the DL.

He is a punk-ass, but a hell of a player.

Watched the Red Sox last game, what an error to end on. That 1st base man must be beating himself up over that one.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Homer Bailey is 4 outs away from no-hitting katmai's Gigantes.

Hmm, so are you suggesting maybe we should put an asterisk next to this one?  I suppose I could go along with that.  I'll see what the yokels think.

No, not that at all. Looking at lineup it seems to be the predominant starters they have been tossing out most of season and had in World Series last year.

I just meant this year in general has been rough.

Not only was that Bailey's second no hitter, no one else has thrown one since Bailey pitched his first.
