After a 1-3 start, the Cardinals have rallied to go 6-4 with sole possession of 1st place in the NL Central.  #12in13

And the Cubs are off to a start that...well, will probably look a lot like the rest of their season.
and the horse you rode in on

Stupid Orioles giftwrapped that game for the Yankees.  3 run error.   Hitting into a 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play. WTF, Manny.

:blink: How did that happen!?

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.

I haven't seen it  but I would guess that the 2nd baseman caught a hard line drive that somehow caught 2 runners off base that both got caught in rundowns.

If you're looking at someone to blame it should be Jones' and his botched catch in the 7th that let 3 Yankees score.

The Yankees played Sweet Caroline during the 7th inning stretch tonight.

That was pretty cool of them.

Buck Showalter Terrified To Walk Alone To Mound At Night

QuoteBALTIMORE—Calling it "a bad part of the field, plain and simple," Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter told reporters Tuesday that he is terrified of walking to the Camden Yards pitcher's mound by himself late at night. "It's dangerous enough during day games, but you're not going to see me out there on my own once the sun goes down," said Showalter, adding that in the event he has no other choice but to make a visit to the hill at night, he takes a well-lit path and always makes sure to bring a catcher with him. "It's a tough crowd that hangs out in this ballpark, but that mound is definitely the worst. I mean, I don't want to sound racist here, but the last time I stopped by, there was this huge Mexican guy with a baseball bat standing no more than 60 feet and 6 inches away from me. No thank you." Showalter added that he also makes sure to take a wide berth around Camden Yards' perilous outfield, recounting how last fall he was robbed at knifepoint by Orioles right fielder Nick Markakis.

A lot of people in my office went to the Reds-Phillies game last night that went 9 scoreless innings and then got rained out.  I imagine they left with a bit of an empty feeling :lol:

They're going to finish that one at 5:30 today and then start the regularly scheduled game around 7:00.

I swear I've seen every single one of his hits.  Every time I turn on the game and he's batting he gets on base :D

Anyway, Matt Carpenter is producing.  Jon Jay's kinda in there in the middle, being Jon Jay.

I'm waiting for ESPN to adjust Carpenter's fantasy positions, because he's been playing 2B enough, and they still have him at 1B, 3B and OF.  Considering I've lost both my SS (Erick Aybar) and 2B (Jose Reyes :cry:) in the same week, I need them to hurry the fuck up already.  It's fucking up my infield.  Mark Ellis and Jean Segura are only bubblegum and bale wire fixes.

I keep Jay in the lineup because he's smacking the ball around and crosses the plate.  But Beltran needs to wake the fuck up already;  I already have to deal with Ryan Howard stinking up my power numbers as it is, and who knows what Ortiz is going to look like when he finally comes back.  Thank God for Prince Fielder.

All things considered with all my walking wounded, including Johnny Cueto, I'm in 2nd place in my league.

He could've at least waited until August to fold.  Fuck.  I need the SBs.
