Man, Detroit is fun to watch. A ton of badass starting pitchers, Cabrera / Prince, and a lot of guys just flat out playing good ball.
This is their year, folks.
And Scherzer is 9-0. Woot

I'm starting to believe this may be the Cardinals year unless something awful happens to them. They are so far superior to every team in the NL right now in terms of lineup, it's almost unfair. Oh and their pitching is also the best in the MLB.
Cards v. Tigers could be the early favorite at the break.

God damn it. Was way too hot to sit outside in the sun to watch Strop implode and give up 6 runs in a single inning.

Braves are getting drilled by the Padres again. We're probably going to get swept. I hate the west coast trips.

MLB.TV Premium price cut to $49.99 (for rest of year) for Fathers Day promotion. Works on iOS, Android, AppleTV, XBox 360, PS3, Roku and a smattering of Smart TVs. Thinking about subbing, especially since we cut out satellite/cable last year.

Apologies for the stench emanating from the NW corner of the country. Just the Astros and Ms taking baseball to another all time low. God what a fucking garbage fire.

So much for my theory that Seattle might get to .500

They would have to play something like .600 ball* to get there by now. Not a fucking chance. Especially with Eric 'by the book' Wedge actively interfering with the few games they actually have a chance to win. God he is an asshole.
*e- only .560. Still ain't happenin'.

Well to be fair, I thought that division would be way down. I didn't buy into the Angels hype, and I believed Texas was due for their usual summertime step back. The fly in that plan was Oakland, who is just ripping it up with absolutely no coverage on them whatsoever nationally.

Are the Angels just a rolling dumpster fire or what? How is it possible for Hamilton to be hitting .216 in JUNE, and Pujols to only have 11 home runs? At least the Dodgers have injuries to blame, but I don't see a lot of injuries at the key positions for the Angels. It's just a lot of money WAY underperforming. It's too bad, because young guys like Trout shouldn't be stuck on such terrible teams.

No Fordel, they only need to win their next 20 in a row to get right back in this thing though!

It is awesome as a Mariners fan because they are proper FUCKED by massive contracts for the next decade. Moreno can spend his way out of it if he chooses, but it is something like half a billion. Plus Trout and Trumbo will be ready for significant raises soon too. |

More like stopped getting lucky, we've been about this bad all season - and now the top 3 in our order all hit the DL. I'm not even sure it's worth a midseason trade to try to salvage the pitching; the Scutaro injury is just a kick in the nuts. |

Bummer, even if D-backs are not my favorite team. Also, no post-season games included either |

All the post season games should be on national TV of one kind or another.

Yes, on cable, of which many have cut that cord. |

I'm getting pissed off at our manager again. He seems to be of the Bobby Cox philosophy that the only way out of a slump is to play the same lineup over and over with no changes. Thing is, the Braves are mired in a horrible slump from about 60% of the lineup right now, and our bench guys are getting no play at all.

Their starting pitching has been awful, though it has been better lately, but the bullpen has been a beast and is what has gotten them this far. |

7 in a row. If they get to 10 they've actually have a winning record.

With the way Angel Hernandez is calling this game who the fuck cam tell what's happen. On a bit of a side note. Really recommend watching Knuckleball on Netflix. Really fun film. |

The Giants are so bad poor Jon Miller is reduced to trying to convince me that Brandon Crawford hitting a line drive into an out is a really positive sign and I should be happy about it.

What in the hell happened to the pitching? I mean besides losing Vogelsong has anything shifted in that rotation from the championship rotation?
