Oakland's tied for first place? What the hell.

For those of you who missed it:

The reveal on that one was fantastic. I could watch this all night.

From CSN it looks like the cops are getting ready to bust skulls, I'm saving going to jail for a Cubs World Series. If that ever happens, everything north of the river would turn into a smoking crater overnight.

Unsurprising considering he could have been a Cub. :(

I approve.

Holy hell Parker.

No Dunston tonight. I want to bring the Shawon-o-Meter back, dangit!

Last ten games for Baez: .432/.523/1.054/1.577 That's just criminal.

Shades of Szczur.

For me: Appel > Bryant > Gray Appel's improved his stock from last season, which is actually fairly impressive considering there were numerous rumors flying around about the Astros taking him #1 overall last season in a stronger draft than this year. Part of the problem he's had is one of perception; because he spent another year in college, he was under a microscope. Everyone acknowledges his improvements, but Shiny New Toy Syndrome seems to have kicked in with Gray and Bryant compared to Appel. I'm still sold on him as a potential 2/3 with the chance to be an ace if everything goes right. Bryant doesn't have the kind of potentially elite bat I'd want from the #2 pick. There's a lot to like about his upside, especially if he can stick at 3B, but if he ends up in the OF, he'd better end up being a really good hitter. On top of that, I always get nervous with big power guys for some reason; probably thanks to guys like Harvey and Dopirak. Bryant's hit tool is supposed to be average to above average, but still...egh. Tough call. As for Gray, even before the stimulant problem came up, I still was leery. He was a known commodity coming into this season, but helium guys who hit 100 MPH tend to scare me. I know Gray has a ton of life on his FB and has a fantastic upside, but there have been way too many power arms that turn out to be fool's gold. I'm more comfortable with the somewhat risky hitter (Bryant) over the somewhat risky pitcher (Gray) for that reason. However, if we can get Gray for $1m-$2m under slot, I'd be willing to listen.

Studly.

Baez started the day hitting .260 That will likely change after the game's over.

This is still in play: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6619/suddendeathp.jpg
