Does being one of the three betting favorites really mean anything? It’s not like it was Aaron Judge in there as a huge favorite and surprising lost in the first round. I'm a Pirates fan. Anything that is anything is cause for alarm, tears, anger, frustration, and a sense of helplessness after the second week of July. It's been their MO 24 of the last 26 years. The crash...you just...sense it and feel it coming, like how a dog senses a storm or my arthritic knee tells me whether or not to bring an umbrella. Any money, they only take a quarter of their games left in July if that. I still love them, but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results...and that's Pirates playing baseball from July to September.

Goodbye Tulo, thanks for being an above average shortstop when that position was pretty offensive-less for no full seasons. Thanks for coming to the Toronto Blue Jays and doing nothing but being better than Jose Reyes. Thanks for refusing to play another position but then going to the Yankees and doing that.
Actually, I enjoyed his career when healthy. I enjoyed watching him always throwing on the run from short, but I didn't like the way things ended in Toronto. A great career for him though.

Also, is it just me or is the rumour mill at an all-time low? So many speculations about people and none of them are likely true. So many "Team X interested Player Y". No sheet.

The Mets need to sell, sell, sell. They can clean out the farm systems for teams like the Twins or Cardinals and they need to, especially after they traded their future to the Mariners for Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz.

Hey Pirates. This tanking is too much. Plz stop. I want an even record at least.

Astros get Zack Greinke and his social anxiety disorder. Verlander/Cole/Greinke still isnt a championship rotation like German/Tanaka/Sabathia/Paxton/Happ

Pirates didn't totally sell the farm. Color me shocked.

I can't wait to watch Greinke get shelled. Dude is super overrated and this just makes me hate the Astros even more. I haven't decide where else to point my hate at this year (other than the regularly scheduled Red Sox hate)

Verlander/Cole/Greinke still isnt a championship rotation like German/Tanaka/Sabathia/Paxton/Happ Obviously you must be a Yankee fan like most who post here, but I would much rather have the Astro pitchers, all with ERA's under 3.00 and 2 of the three with more than 9 k's per 9 innings than one guy way above .500 and the rest just under or over .500 and minimum ERA's of 4.00 with the record these teams have. In a 5 or 7 game series the Astros are pitching their 3 guys while the Yankees have to decide who to pitch and which they are going to have to make relievers and upset their rhythms.

I am not a Yankees fan, but they are the best right now. Their starters dont even have to pitch well when their offense gives them 13 runs a game.

I wasn’t sure if he was being serious or being sarcastic because the Yanks didn’t make a trade.
Speaking as a Yankees fan, obviously those dudes for Houston can’t be matched by anybody in the AL. I consider the Yanks staff capable, but they picked the wrong week to all suck at once. Bullpen games, or short outings from the starters on purpose, may not be a bad idea for the playoffs. Yanks are 9-0 going with bullpen/opener days. Been a little while since they’ve done that too with having 5 starters healthy, but now CC on the DL so I think they’ll do it again while he’s out. IF they can have Betances and/or Severino contribute positively before the season is over then it gives two more options to use in the pen for the playoffs.

Can't believe Encarnacion breaks his wrist and Hicks probably needs Tommy John surgery.
If the Yankees somehow manage to win the World Series with as many injuries as they've had, this will be the greatest team ever, and Brian Cashman will deserve a medal for the organizational depth that he has created. The "back ups" have kept this team afloat all year.
