2013 MLB Regular Season running thread

Sequestration hits home: The Giants couldn't have a flyover at their World Series flag-raising ceremony.

 

Justin Upton with another homer for the Braves. That's three in four games.

But he just wasn't gritty enough to play for Kirk Gibson.

 

He's 25. You think he'll get worse before he gets better?

 

Feldman just made one of the Uptons look at a dirty perverted curveball for strike 3.

The Upton had a look of "Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me?"

 

That was B.J., the Clint Howard of the Upton brothers.

 

Chris Davis 16 RBIs in four games. Also the fourth player to homer in his first four games of the season. (Mays, McGwire and Nelson Cruz.)

 

The Braves' last spring training game last week was against a team of their top prospects. B.J. Upton got called out looking at a fastball on the inside corner in the first inning, and just sort of stood there for three or four seconds before walking to the dugout. Couldn't tell if he was talking to the umpire or doing a silent protest, but I thought it was sort of a weird thing to do in a beyond meaningless exhibition game.

 

This made me laugh:

Adam Dunn with a stolen base. I didn't know the Mariners catcher had narcilepsy.

 

He's Crush Davis.

And Reds up 14-0 on Nats.

 

Because Dioner Navarro is a stolen base king for the ages?
