Ah, the moronic "human element" of baseball. We should commend Cody Ross for not taking his bat and breaking it over the ump's skull.

Not even going to waste my breath

Another win by the Nats

It'd be sick if we could make a legit run for playoff spot

Day games suck. Thankfully today was the last one for a few days.

And I'm pretty sure the Red Sox have had a pretty similar schedule as well.

@ DET 3x
@ TOR 3x
vs TB 4x
vs TEX 2x
vs NYY 3x

I have no idea how many of those were/are day games but, even though the Rays may have the toughest schedule so far, there's a few other teams that are right there with them.

After catching a few innings of the last two games:

I retract all my previous statements. The A's could very well be the worst team in the league, at least bottom-3.

I'm holding out hope that since many are young or new they're all just settling in.

The rangers are just insanely good. Probably the best pitching staff in the al if not baseball(the angels and rays can argue better rotations though it's far from a given, but the rangers also have a great bullpen) best defensive if in baseball, the ability to play a great defensive of in the late innings when they put gentry in cf and one of the best offenses in baseball. And they can run

Here comes Lidge to blow a win for Gio.

*edit* Somehow he survived that.

JJ looked great today, his fastball stood around 93-94, went 100+ pitches and gave up only two runs. Unfortunately the last run came in probably his last inning and tied the game.

Jeez you were right. I don't see why we don't put Clippard in the 9th. Can't wait till Storen returns

[Jailblazers7]

Bedard is 0-3 with a 2.65 ERA lol

We get to face another ace tonight too. McGehee looks decent, McCutchen is hitting well, and Walker is starting to come alive but we just can't score. Hopefully we can turn it around once we get to an easier stretch of schedule.

[Balla_Status]

So wait a sec...is the home run derby much earlier in the season now?

[sunsfan1357]

Hanley

Hopefully Heath can keep a lead this time around.

Stanton moved down to 6th in the order tonight, looked alright so far. Worked the count well on a couple at-bats which lead to a walk and a double. Still swings pretty badly at breaking pitches though.

[Qwyjibo]

I hope these games shred those Red Sox bullpen arms. I'd love to see their players run into the ground.

[Jailblazers7]

Damn, looks like Karstens is hurt. At least Burnett can step into his spot soon if its serious.

[irondarts]

Pedro Alvarez is just horrendous. His approach is awful and he just cannot hit major league pitching. Maybe he'll pick it up, but it's starting to look like he's just not cut out to hit at the major league level.

I know he's young, but if he doesn't make serious adjustment's, he's doomed.

[Jailblazers7]

We are probably going to lose this game but it's good to see Neil Walker playing well. If we can get our two leadoff hitters going, then we might actually have a shot at scoring some runs with how McCutchen and Walker have been producing.
