Reyes, Reyes . . . name sounds familiar. Didn't he used to play in the cellar?

Royals win their 9th in a row to take over 1st from the Tigers, whose two aces were shelled on consecuive nights. Glad it's only June.

As a mets fan I can say/ask - F$ck, it's only June?!

Aint no cure for the Mets......

The Poet · 06-21-2014, 02:44 PM

Carlos Beltran had his first signature moment as a Yankee last night when he belted a 3-run dinger with 2 out in the 9th to steal one from Baltimore 5-3.

I'm not expecting the same today.

icehog3 · 06-22-2014, 09:07 PM

Tigers looked better at the plate this weekend, but their bullpen continues to suck donkey balls. If they had a bullpen, they would run away with the Central. With their current bullpen, might be a 3 or 4 team race in September.

Just submitted my All Star Ballots.
I voted for Derek Jeter because I'm a homer.
And I voted for Carlos Beltran and Ike Davis to piss off Mac.

That's mean. That's just nasty. I would never do that.

I voted for R. A. Dickey . . . he actually HELPED the Mets while there.

(for Beltran/Ike vote). I know this is his last year, but do you truly believe he deserves to start?? I got it that no other AL shortstop is tearing it up this year (which helps grease the skids), but Jeter's numbers are Ike Davis like this year.

Very true Thomas.

GTsetGO · 06-25-2014, 02:55 PM

had a good extended weekend in Baltimore. Saw Chris Davis knock the walk-off homer on Monday.

got to the ballpark early

My little guy still isn't a fan of the mascots.

Steve Pearce was cool enough to sign Luke's Hat

GTsetGO · 06-25-2014, 02:58 PM

Little guy loves his baseball. 2 years old and will sit through an entire game.

kelmac07 · 06-25-2014, 03:03 PM

Very cool...thanks for sharing Rob.

icehog3 · 06-25-2014, 03:20 PM

Some great shots, Rob!

The Poet · 07-06-2014, 11:22 PM

Derek Jeter has three hits in today's 9-7 victory over the Twinkies. His single in the 9th was his 3400th hit, making him one of only 8 players to reach that mark. It is unlikely he will get the 115 more to reach Tris Speaker at #5, but barring injury he should surpass both Carl Yastrzemski (3419) and Honus Wagner (3430) to secure the 6th all-time spot.

Discounting A-Rod and Pudge, neither of whom is actually playing yet who are both still considered "active" by MLB, the nearest truly active player to Jeets is teammate Ichiro Suzuki (2794 in MLB). As that ageing player is unlikely to get many hundred more, just as the next "active" players Johnny Damon (2769) and Manny Ramirez (2574) shan't, and the next on the list, Adrian Beltre (2520) and Bobby Abreu (2465) are also getting rather long in the tooth, this brings us down to Albert Pujols (2439). He may still hang around long enough to approach or surpass the 3000-mark, even by a good amount, but we also need to accept the possibility that none of us will live to see another hitter reach the plateau Derek Jeter did today.

Think about that when you're baitching about him starting in the All-Star Game next week.

dman4505 · 07-06-2014, 11:57 PM

Looks like the A's just beefed up their pitching staff thanks to my beloved Cubbies. Good luck to Smardjz and Hammel.

Congrats to Jeter, a class act and great ballplayer.

But to your hypothesis, I have just 2 words.....Miguel Cabrera.

Smardjz had a nice first outting as an A tonight.

kelmac07 · 07-07-2014, 07:26 AM

Pretty happy with the All Star Team selections.

dman4505 · 07-07-2014, 09:10 AM

Samardzija misses out on the All-Star game due to trade....kinda sucks.
Hope he gets better run support with the A's than he did with the Cubs.
First outing went pretty good.

Now if the Cubs would quit rebuilding every year they just might make the playoffs again.
