Can the Pirates stop trading all the pitchers on the roster? Please? No? K. The Pirates have pitchers on their roster? Cole. Glasnose. Taillonomyelbow. That's it.

Benintendi jumps from Double A to the majors. Wow.
Not every prospect has done well his first call up this season. So let's see where he falls.

I can't believe how twice in a span of days the Cubs rallied like that late.

Cubs have this World Series won if they can not choke against the West.

I would say the Rangers would stand in the Cubs way.

Man, this West Coast trip has been something else for the Red Sox. First, David Price gives us two of his best outings of the year...we lose both games. #PRETTYRICKY still proves why he's been the ace of the staff this year (next to Wright, but he's faltered a lot since the AS Break). Pomeranz has been a little underwhelming to me, but last night he was pretty solid. 6 innings, 2 runs. I think he had 6 walks though, soooooo...
Abad, our newest reliever, promptly crapthe bed in his Red Sox debut, giving up the go ahead home run to Robinson Cano 2 nights ago, costing us a great effort by Price. Last night he came on to pitch the 9th, got two outs, and proceeded to load the bases. With Cano up, John Farrell wasn't taking any chances again, and brought in Kimbrel. Great move, but must feel shitty for Abad.
Finally, kudos to Brock Holt for driving in the go-ahead (and winning) run last night in the 11th. You the man, Brock.

That is a tight East with the Os, Sox and Jays.I'm just glaf the Cubs didn't sign Price. He's arguably worse than Kershaw (who sometimes gets judged unfairly) in the playoffs.

Well....at least Tex is making next year all that much easier for the Yankees
shame the last couple years of his career were complete trash offensively. Especially last year because that injury in august was a serious blow. but he was always an excellent defensive player and if he could have stayed healthy and productive through most of his career he could have easily been a hall of famer, he was good enough to have at least 500 HRs and 2500 hits by now but his extended periods of suck and or injury just never let him be what he was capable of
if anything at least now i dont have to watch Girardi throw him out there in the middle of the lineup with his sub .200 BA on the off chance he MIGHT hit a home run once in awhile.

You know it's been a rough year when getting rid of Omar Infante is considered a "highlight".

Rodriguez needs to keep hitting homers and not watercoolers and we might have a solid middle of the lineup guy.

the Yankees are laughable at this point they completely ed themselves with that ridiculous contract for A-Rod....and now they are finding a "PC" way of backing out of it. They should not be allowed to get away with this. And ing him too by making him faux retire this week instead of at the end of the season? This is really unfortunate. Regardless of what he did, he was completely targeted by the MLB and made out to be a scapegoat while other guys didn't get half of what he did. He served his punishments and came back just wanting to play baseball. He did the right thing by saying next year was gonna be his last. He's done exactly what all the fans (and Yankee brass) wanted him to do this year and that was stfu and play. Then he gets injured, and benched. They trade Beltran which frees up the DH spot and he doesn't even get THAT back? So you expect the guy to be productive playing once a week, but bench him because he isn't productive? It makes zero sense. Yankees aren't doing crapthis year. A-Rod should be allowed to play out this season and they should have just waited until the offseason to say that "the Yankees and Alex Rodriguez have agreed to part ways." Nobody would have been mad at that. Instead we get this ridiculous circle of bullcrap and now they are basically saying thanks but no thanks. It's a shame too since he'll probably go to another team next year and get his 700th home run.

Ichiro got 3000 hits after what seemed like a thousand ABs after getting #2998. What an accomplishment especially since he started in MLB at 27.

It's a shame too since he'll probably go to another team next year and get his 700th home run. As a New Yorker, I have very little faith in our sports teams. I can remember the NY media made it a big freaking deal when A-Rod signed with the Yankees in the 2004 season. I can recall telling people in high school, Alex Rodriguez would need to win multiple World Series titles to validate himself as a player and justify spending all that money to keep him on-board. To make a bold prediction, the 2010's is going to be the first complete decade since the 1980's that the Yankees didn't win the World Series. The Yankees have been in a rebuilding phase for the last few years. They need to find guys that click as a cohesive unit and actually show what the Yankees are all about. Something I am not seeing with their current squad.

So I watched Ichiro at-bat after at-bat, and he gets 3000 when I happen to be watching the Cubs.
They keep on opening it up.

David Dahl has hit in each of his first 15 games. He's closing in on the record.

I seriously can't believe how bad the yankees are ing a-rod with this whole thing girardi pretending like they are still "in it and trying to win ball games" forcing him to have a bullcrapretirement that ends on a random night in august for no reason wont even let him attempt to play, blame it on low batting average even though he's barely played since june like....YOU ARE THE ONES who gave a-rod that stupid contract and now all of a sudden you're pissed off and are completely destroying the guy? it's literally going to be the worst/most uneventful ending to a major athletes career, ever.
