Running 2017 MLB regular season thread

Forbes valued the Marlins at $940 million a few weeks ago, so surely the buyers wouldn't pay less than that.

" ... and the Phillies have won FIVE consecutive games."

 

So the Forbes guy was pretty far off.

 

No, no ... It's JETER!/JEB!

Bush can't wear the captain's patch anymore.

 

I think I could submit a script about Wednesday's Giants-Dodgers game and it would be rejected as unrealistic. Down 3-0, Christian Arroyo (hot rookie prospect) his first MLB homer - off former Giant Sergio Romo - with man on. In the eighth, 2014 NLCS No. 2 star Morse homers to tie it. In the 10, Giants load the bases and win on a walkoff SF by Pence, who fouled off about 10 pitches in working the count to 3-2.

So, yeah, just another routine Giants-Dodgers game.

 

Giants win though to take two of three in the series. Michael Morse ties it with a pinch-hit HR in his first major league game since April 12, 2016.

Says Pence: "That was one of those special moments that can change a season."

 

That would probably be the first Hollywood movie to end on a sacrifice fly.

 

Why did the Pirates get rid of him?

 

THSORE ARM

 

And Cespedes is hurt again. Totally cursed team.
