2013 MLB Regular Season running thread

This guy's going to be awfully bored for the next 21 games, since he won't see a pitch anywhere near the strike zone.

 

So this Yusmeiro Petit fella? Has what I believe the kids call "serious shit." Nothing doing through three..

 

Like Jake Taylor, he couldn't cut it in the Mexican League.

 

Catch of the year at AT&T:

Is it irony, karma or just plain fucked up that ARod played more games this year than Jeter?

 

I don't know but tonight's Jose Fernandez-Chris Johnson-Brian McCann hoedown was humorous.

Re: Home runs -- first by McCann, then Fernandez -- with eyeballing (by McCann) and pimping (by Fernandez) and plenty of flapping gums.

 

And Marlins manager Mike Redmond threw Fernandez under the bus:

Only after Fernandez threw himself under said bus. He sought out McCann and Minor after the game to apologize.

Watch the video again. He spit at third base — after spending the previous inning jawing at Braves 3B Chris Johnson and then jawing at McCann before his at-bat and then preening at home plate while his home run was leaving the yard — and that's what the Braves were (rightfully) upset about.

 

Great photo.

AL Manager of the Year: Farrell, Girardi or Tito?

I suppose Bob Melvin's in the mix too. Very tough choice this year.

 

607.

The number of games that Teixeira, Jeter, A-Rod, Granderson and Youk have missed -- this season.
