Well, that's just no fun. Then again, the Phillies seem to prefer trading with the AL West - mainly the Astros. Also, the old champion Phillies to the Dodgers. Seriously. You guys are becoming the home for old Phillies. You just need to bring Brad Lidge out if retirement.

I'm not sure if I'm more pissed that the Mets and Giants managed to win, or that the Pirates choked when they could have made up ground.

In the latest edition of that Cubs/Orioles trade
Jake Arrieta destroys the Cardinals.
Steve Clevenger destroys himself on Twitter.

I just saw Vin Scully speak at his ceremony. I was very close to bursting into tears.

Ryan Howie has always been one of my favorite players and he does have 23 HRs this year in limited playing time, so he's got some pop left in the bat. He would make a great low risk/high reward signing for $1 million and it would suck to see him retire after this season.

Though my bet would be on an AL team to scoop him up for a DH role before an NL team would go after him. Honestly, I wouldn't mind him staying. Good clubhouse guy to have around. It's a shame he isn't regarded as highly as Utley by the fans because he never really recovered from his achilles injury and had a big contract.

In the latest edition of that Cubs/Orioles trade Jake Arrieta destroys the Cardinals. Steve Clevenger destroys himself on Twitter. I often wonder how a guy as good as Mark Trumbo keeps getting traded all the time. And all the teams that have traded him have gotten garbage in return. Anaheim shouldve held onto him. Can you imagine a 3-4-5 with Trout, Trumbo and Pujols?

The top 2 in the order would likely see good pitches as everyone would fear walking either of them and putting guys on in front of those 3.

Yankos got shut out for the 3rd consecutive game. Bagel sales are going through the roof in New York.

The Nationals and Red Sox both are in the playoffs.
It's no real surprise, though.
I can't trust Dusty Baker. If your goal is to get to the playoffs, he's a good skipper. If you want to get over that hump, look elsewhere.
Here I was thinking 2013 was a fluke for Boston. They seem like an all or nothing team.

i am actually legitimately surprised at the cliff the Yankees fell off. I mean, I understand they went through the "sell off because we suck" thing....but like, the kids came up and actually were playing well, the pitching was where it's supposed to be....everything really was in line for them to make the playoffs. But the fact that they blew those games to Boston....what an embarrassment. And oh...yeah we cant even sweep the shitbag Rays, now we get shut out by Toronto.
It's just surprising given the way they were playing up until last week. It's sad really, would have been a great story. I guess next year will be interesting....or maybe not.

The did this offense come from recently? There will be such sweet satisfaction if we knock the Muts out of the playoffs...
