2013 MLB Regular Season running thread

Nothing like beating up on the Triple-A Astros to make things right in Cardinals world.

 

We clearly read the same book.

 

Jose Reyes back in the lineup and leading off for Toronto today:

How will the Jays survive after the insufferable fan and media adulation directed towards the very limited team-mascot-like Munenori Kawasaki?

 

Now that the inevitable regression sets in the demotion of Kawasaki will get the blame.

 

Dickey finally pitches like all Blue Jays fans expected him to do when he was traded to Toronto.

 

He's been alternating good starts and bad starts for about a month now:

5/30 at Atlanta: 6 IP, 11 H, 6 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
6/5 at San Francisco: 8.1 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
6/10 at ChiSox: 5.0 IP, 10 H, 7 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
6/15 at Texas: 5.2 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 3 K
6/21 Baltimore: 6.0 IP, 7 H, 6 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
6/26 at Tampa Bay: 9 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K

Strange that only one of those starts has been at home ...

 

In other news, Mariano Rivera got drafted ... by the Harlem Globetrotters. Along with Britney Griner.

I guess he'll have to work on his confetti-bucket tossing skills. And how the heck did the Washington Generals pass him up? No wonder they're 0 for the last 40 years.

 

Teixeira out for season and better shut the fuck up about his rehab.

Well fuck.

At least Teixeira isn't quite the headache A-Fraud is.

 

Kazmir. 0hits thru 5

 

Still, should we seek a suicide watch at Manky's? Just sayin' ...
