3 pitchers so far this season have pitched multiple shutouts. Who are they?

No idea, I will guess 4 and hopefully get 1. Corbin, Harvey, Scherzer, Colon?

It shouldn't be, that guy is a really good pitcher. Dusty tried to kill him though.

If it's July 1, that means the #Mets owe Bobby Bonilla $1,193,248.20 today ... and each July 1 through 2035.

Whoever Bonilla's agent was when they agreed to that deal deserves a gold star. To know that long after you're relevant and hung up your cleats you're still getting paid $1 million a year until you turn 72 is a spectacular fleecing.

 

Here's an article about the contract. Was actually written earlier this year.

It was a pretty smart decision for both sides given what was known at the time. The best part of that article was that Kurt Shilling lost $50 million.

Kurt Shilling is such a jerk. [expletive] that guy.

MINNEAPOLIS — Felix Lopez is up to his old tricks again.

Lopez, the Yankees’ executive vice president and chief international officer, took part in a press conference in the Dominican Republic on Monday to help make an announcement about a new privately funded $50 million baseball stadium outside of La Romana.

There was only one problem: the Yankees didn’t know anything about the project.

According to a source, nobody at the Yankees — including managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner, Lopez’s brother-in-law — had been given any heads-up about Lopez’s trip or his announcement.

“This project would be a major boost to president Danilo Medina’s efforts to promote tourism and will have a major global impact,” Lopez said, according to a report on the Dominican Today website. “The goal is to try to have a stadium with the qualities the majors demand, with certain rules that were going to meet, where the stadium will be a jewel in the Americas.”

Also in attendance, according to the report, were Joel Lithgow, the director of the Yankees’ Latin Baseball Academy, and Robert Weil, the founder and president of the Latino Baseball Hall of Fame.

Well if two Yankees representatives were there I'm not sure how nobody at the Yankees knew about it. An executive VP and a Director obviously knew about it.

Assistant to the Traveling Secretary Costanza was supposed to pass on the message.

Major League Baseball released umpire Brian Runge on June 14 for what sources told the Associated Press was related to at least one failed drug test and Runge’s inability to adhere to the terms of an agreement he had made so that he could retain his job.

 

The MLB has not publicly said why Runge was released, but his apparent termination because of drug use is believed to be a first for an umpire.

 

Runge, who became an umpire in 1999, hasn’t worked a major league game since Aug. 30 because of a knee injury. However, he did call several spring-training and triple-A games this year.

 

Last year, Runge called Philip Humber’s perfect game for the Chicago White Sox on April 21 and was at home plate when the Seattle Mariners used six pitchers in a no-hitter on June 8.

Puig just destroyed himself running into the wall

 

EDIT: He's up and walking it off. Man, it looked bad at first
