Still learning that wall, Hanley.

 

[Raider Nation]

Oh, hey.... A-Rod homers again.

But his BABIP is subpar or something.

471 ft. Absolute BOMB.

BOOM his BABIP remains unchanged after another missile

I wish his BABIP would improve though. These home runs are getting tiresome.

This is stupid.

MVP

 

[Raider Nation]

BTW, this was inevitable once Francesa said there was "NO WAY" A-Rod was going to reach 90 RBIs.

Yes, I have that one locked up tight in the film archive.

 

[Raider Nation]

Colon is the baddest fat man on the planet.

 

[Fly]

Trout doing Trout-y things tonight.

 

[pollardsvision]

Brandon Inge is back in Lynchburg working as an assistant coach at his HS alma mater.

[Raider Nation]

Does Jake Peavy still scream at himself on the hill or has he finally accepted the fact that he's awful?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Real small sample size too, small enough to not be definitive in any way.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Howie Kendrick's HR off Kyle Kendrick in the first inning was the first brother-off-brother HR since 1958.

 

[Daywalker]

What happens first a 57-game hit streak or a homer in 9 consecutive games?

I've got some people researching this, but I don't believe that to be accurate. /CaptainHook

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

San Diego is giving Washington competition for crappiest defense. Too bad for Tyson Ross, who is bringing it today.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Bryant first ML hit!!

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Heard an interesting statement on XM last night ... I think it was Steve Sax.

After all of the rhetoric from Boras about the Cubs not bringing up Bryant potentially costing them wins in the pennant chase, you can certainly argue that Bryant cost the Cubs a win yesterday.

 

[The General]

Keeper

 

[Raider Nation]

Chris Davis is strong.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Country strong?

Ehh, omelet/eggs. I'm sure Mike Trout "costs" the Angels a couple games every year too.

Probably.

 

[Bobcat10]

Who you start?

Lester vsSD Cashner or Richards @HOU Feldman?

Points league, no negatives, 8pts for the win. Really need to pick this one right. Haven't seen a pitch count mentioned for Richards and I believe I read he threw 91 in his last game. Gamble on Colon Friday paid off but gave me this decision.

I'd consult teh betting lines, but I imagine those will be pretty close. Don't see anything yet for the Angels.

I'd also make sure the wind wasn't blowing out at Wrigley tomorrow, too, which will also show up in the total.

He's struck out every hitter he's ever faced while wearing the halo.

Oh, I agree they're both kind of stupid. But it was a good way of pointing out the potential hypocrisy in Boras' protest about what the Cubs did.

If you saw Sam Ryan for the first time on TV, how old would you think she is? (Without looking it up).

 

[Raider Nation]

Mid 40s.

I think she looks younger than Heidi Watney, and she has over ten years on her.

.429 OBP tho. new career high. you can't stop AROD mania baby!!!

 

[Smack Tripper]

Is Alex wood shot?

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Tomorrow is the anniversary of Ted Williams' major league debut in 1939. Also the only time Williams and Gehrig played against each other.

Love looking up stuff like this.

Gehrig played against Williams

Williams played against Jim Kaat

Jim Kaat played against Daryl Strawberry

Daryl Strawberry played against Alex Rodriegez

Amazing to think we have in 2015 a played 3 times removed from Lou Gehrig.

Strawberry was just the first guy I saw on Kaat's list and there may be cooler examples to get a longer connection.

Ten Hall of Famers in the starting lineups.

Time of Game: 1:47

The opening day attendance was just over half of Yankee Stadium's capacity.

RN's grandfather ragged Gehrig for grounding into two DPs

 

[pollardsvision]

The Braves' off-season just keeps getting better and better. Markakis, Gomes, Callaspo, and Pierzynski are the sort of solid adds that nobody ever gets excited about and Shelby is a badass.

 

[Raider Nation]

Right hand fracture for d'Arnaud. :(

 

[the moops]

Pierzynski are the sort of solid adds that nobody ever gets excited about

Good reason for that

 

[Peyton Marino]

Crazy game in Seattle ends with a Cruz walk off hit

 

[The General]

Mariners rally scoring 5 in last 3 innings. This never would have have happened last few years. The starting pitching outside Felix has sucked, if that comes around watch out.

Really?

Bummer. First catcher I've drafted in about 7 years who actually hit worth a damn. Picked up Caleb Joseph to fill in.

the catcher the Mets called up is a top prospect and can supposedly rake.

I checked him out this morning and his numbers didn't seem all that impressive. Got him on my watch list.
