this entire ing bullpen. I hope a black hole opens it up and swallows it. But it's pretty clear Mackanin has no idea how to manage a bullpen either. "Hey, Neris has sucked since becoming closer, and just gave up back-to-back home runs... let's leave him in and see if he can give up an- oh, he just gave up another. Well, shucks."

While it sucks to see this team throw so many games that could/should be won out the window... it's nice to see them hanging in there and being competitive against the Cubs, Nats, and Dodgers.
But seriously, give Stassi more starts over Joseph, Pete.

New drinking game: take a shot every time Cameron Rupp gets doubled off at first.

Between the double plays and taking bad swings on 3-0 or 3-1 counts Hosmer has been very hard to watch this year.

There's a swing and miss game with Escobar as well that gets you pretty drunk by about the 5th inning. They've been terrible most of my life, child and adult, so I'm more used to it than not honestly.

Royals have been my favorite team since before tee-ball and because of Bo Jackson I was actually a Raiders fan for a couple of years.

You've gotta love the fight my boys show night in and night out, but there comes a point when you gotta get past being the "younger" team and just win some of them ball games.
Come on Phils!

To be fair, they probably would've won about 6 or 7 more if the bullpen wasn't the drizzling chits. At least Altherr and Hernandez are tearing it up, and Franco is coming around.

Zimmerman has to be on something. Or he's been replaced by a goddamn android.

Or he's been replaced by a goddamn android. its ridiculous how good he's playing, but honestly its probably just "his time". look at the last decade of baseball....there are a bunch of guys who are consistent every year, Cabrera, Trout, Pujols during his prime, Bautista for awhile, Chris Davis....im just pulling random names but every single year there are a few guys who just get hot, and play out of their minds. sometimes its the start of a run, kind of what happened with Bautista, dude was aveage player at best all of a sudden he's mashing 40 home runs and is a feared middle order hitter. sometimes it's just a one-off baseball is such a weird sport, guys go on hot and cold streaks ALL the time....you can literally go 0-24 and then the next week you're 10-14 with 5 HRs.
