I'm guessing the wind is screwy in the OF tonight.

Vivaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Viagra!

Rich Hill cringed when he found out.

Final score will probably have the winning team in double digits.

Aw.

:doh:

That works.

Fuld used his powers of grit and hustle to inspire Lee into hitting that HR.

Awesome start!

Always my favorite quote. One of my other favorites: A reporter once asked Casey Stengel "How do you feel about the execution of your team?" Stengel quipped "I'm in favor of it." I thought John McKay said that about the Buccanneers' offense?

Jorge Arangure:

Definitely an upgrade over Freel. Reportedly the Rockies were thinking about DFAing him, so I'm guessing Al Alburqurque (annoying name to spell) is the only guy traded to them.

Being discussed in this thread (starting on P. 5)

ESPN confirmation. If his age checks out, he could get $30m at a minimum. Fangraphs breakdown of Chapman from earlier in the year.

Badler:

Apparently ticked off at everyone knocking his plate discipline, Brett Jackson decides to take two walks tonight without striking out. 9th rounder Richard Jones hit a pair of HRs in his debut.

I submit that if the Cubs go on another winning streak like they did then, well, then the real hero is the hat. THE HAT IS THE SPARK. I don't know...Todd Hollandsworth never mentioned the hat.. It's not a very gritty hat, either.

He won't be answering your questions again any time soon.

That was an expected result, but an unexpected way of getting there.
