I am [expletive] amazed Matt Williams still has a job.

[Guest]

apparently the yankee broadcasters bring up teix's gluten free diet every time he gets a hit or something

 

it's quite lame

Fun fact: he's got as many manager of the year awards as Bruce Bochy.

[Derwood]

32 total runs in the Red Sox vs Mariners game so far

[Soul]

I didn't realize Pats/Seahawks was today.

Accidentally almost benched Felix for fantasy. Wish I would've.

Jackie Bradley Jr: 5-6, 3 doubles, 2 homers. Red Sox record for xbh in a game.

Looks like the Seahawks didn't need to give the ball to Marshawn this time.

Pretty happy my opponent this week started him. Gave me a lot of leeway for today and tomorrow.

Aramis... 2-0 Pirates

 

Cubs are gonna have to win out, I guess. Of course the Pirates catch Colon and Niese/not DeGrom/Syndergaard

We just played four games against the Giants and didn't catch Bumgarner...

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I wonder how many games in a row we'd have to win in a row before we'd catch the Cardinals.

Holy [expletive], 10 ER in 2.1 IP? Has he ever given up 10 ER in a month?

He got obliterated a few weeks ago too. I know because I was lucky enough to draw his owner in fantasy that week.

[Gilby]

Mixed in with a lot of really good starts, Felix has had some real stinkers. He lasted just 1/3 of an inning against the Astros in June while giving 8 runs. He's also given up 7 runs two other times.

[Schwarber Fan]

Can the Mets get one freakin run off Joe Blanton, please???

[Sammys Boombox]

Come on Mets. I'm tired of treading water while winning every night.

[ARCubsFan]

What the [expletive] was that Murphy

[Schwarber Fan]

Pirates about to take the lead barring a miracle.

[ARCubsFan]

Pirates 4 Mets 3, more runs coming

[ScrubMD]

And now the Giants have bases loaded no outs in the 3rd. Stupid Pirates and Giants.

[ARCubsFan]

Pirates win, Cardinals win, Nationals gagging again

[ScrubMD]

Gamedays says the Pirates got a single on a popup to SS. How does that happen?
