They can stop putting the Yankees on national television anytime now. It's cruel and unusual punishment making people watch them.

Yasiel Puig has 44 hits in his first 100 career AB.
The last player with 44 hits in his first 100 career AB was Earle Combs in 1924.

Eephus was a year ahead of Combs in high school. Said he had a lightning-quick bat.

Says the guy who is bumping posts from December. Please provide a link to where I was arrogant in that exchange with you. By the way, the whole basis for that exchange was you claiming the Pirates should not trade away Hanrahan so thanks for bumping that little gem.I dont act arrogant about it when I amYou've never been wrong before huh?Way to be on top of thingshttp://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=665197&p=15150866They don't make ESPN but they're a really good teamThe Pirates are on pace for 102 wins.

Here's a hint: Premier expresses confusion that the Pirates are on pace for 100 wins. You reply that theyre a good team and use the shrug guy as if it was obvious all along.Says the guy who is bumping posts from December.

I was wrong about this team in December but my response to Cappy was simply to indicate that I think they're a good team now. No arrogance was intended. Nice that you felt the need to interject

Miguel Cabrera is too good to be pitched inside? He incited the entire thing. If I was one of his teammates I'd tell him to shut the eff up too so I don't get drilled because of his whining.Doctor Detroit said:
Maddon with the last laugh bringing Farnsworth in to face him while Peralta got loose. Cabrera was flinching on every pitch.

MLB has fired 14-year veteran umpire Brian Runge for a violation of the league drug policy, according to the Associated Press. Runge is believed to be the first umpire punished under big league random drug testing protocols.

Former big-league player Milton Bradley has been sentenced to 960 days in jail and must perform 400 hours of community service for abusing his estranged wife.
From the Associated Press:
Prosecutors say Bradley threatened and attacked his wife five times in 2011 and 2012. In one incident, Bradley pushed his wife against a wall and choked her after she asked him to stop smoking marijuana in front of their children and wanted his friends to leave their home.
Bradley, 35, had a 12-year career with many peaks and valleys. He never spent more than three seasons with a team -- playing for the Indians, Athletics, Dodgers, Expos, Mariners, Rangers, Padres and Cubs -- and never came close to living up to his lofty potential due to injury and anger issues.
His best season came in 2008, when he was an All-Star and led the American League with a .999 OPS. He had a disaster of a season with the Cubs the following year and then hit just .209 the following two seasons for the Mariners before being essentially forced into retirement

1st four batters in first:
Infield hit that should have been an error on Prince
HBP
Single
PB on Avila
Double
Then the double scored on another infield single that should have been an out. Not great for sure but he's not getting any help even when they are giving him run support (rare). I have him in my main league too, just glad he settled down so it wasn't a complete disaster. Him giving up that homer to Rasmus had me fuming though because I need wins more than anything.

.443/.473/.745 with 8 dingers, 17 RBI, 21 runs. Stealing bases. Hosing people. It's an All-Star game. If this kid isn't considered a "star" I don't know who is, and if he's not they should just shut it down.

agree 1000%. Pap smear is the absolute joke
Papelbon is a doosh factory. Almost hate him as much as Shilling.

Yeah, for most any definition or purpose one gives to the AS game, Puig's gotta be there.
For me, it's mainly 2 things It's entertainment for the fans and a chance to see good and exciting players. You might also consider it a pick-up game where managers do actually have some incentive to win it. If I'm trying to win one game on July 16th 2013 and I have my pick of all NL players, I'm taking Puig with one of the first few picks.

This is the key factor. Not that I agree with Papelbon, but if someone wanted to say Puig's overall stats are not All-Star worthy then I can't argue with it. However, if we are to believe that the game "counts", then you've got to put the best team you possibly can on the field. That means Puig comes into the game in the 4th inning and stays in it til the end. Get him his 3 ABs in which he will clearly hit at least 2 HR, and give the NL a good shot to win.
