2013 MLB Regular Season running thread

Good to see the Barves have never changed.

 

I hate when real reporters give us a "blind item":

Heard an incredible story this month of a pitcher who announced to his teammates in the dugout that he drilled a guy because he's a PED user

 

In an episode that is sadly representative of what a complete clusterfuck this Jays season has been, catcher J.P. Arencibia went to team president Paul Beeston to continue to whine about the negative comments about the team from Sportsnet analysts Gregg Zaun and Dirk Hayhurst.

Arencibia first stirred this up a couple of weeks ago on radio, he is still going on about it.

Just another 4 hours and 46 minutes.

Napoli's HR to dead center wins it in bottom-11

It was a fun game till I fell asleep in the 7th. Yanks go up 3-0 because Dumpster sucks but then CC starts sucking even worse and the Sox go up 7-3. But then Dumpster can't pitch even though he's bailed out and the Yanks tie it up slowly. Stays that way till the walk-off, Napoli's second HR of the game. His first was a fucking crusher over the Monster.

4 hours and 46 minutes later ...

 

It was a fun game after that, too.

Minor league hitting coordinator Rick Schu takes over.

 

Start the game 2 hours earlier and Napoli is a superstar in Texas. Oh wait.

 

He must've done a great job visualizing the Yankees in Angels uniforms.

 

Rosenthal Tweet:

"Sources: Garza will not pitch tonight for #Cubs, deal with #Rangers near."

EDIT: Passan confirms deal and says third base prospect Mike Olt is going the other way:

Olt Style at Wrigley. ((C)-UPChip)

 

Dillon Gee no-hitting the Braves thru 6. Totally trying to jinx him.

 

Everyone is hitting the ball well for the Dodgers. The Blue Jays are just shooting themselves in the foot also, four errors so far.
