1st place Braves headed to Miami to play the 1st place Marlins.

It's not so much that Blue Jays 9-game win streak ended - but what a terrible way to do it. Error on a routine ground ball to short (Reyes) with 2 out in the ninth (allowed the tie and then they lost in the tenth)

The game was over and it was 10 in a row and then --->

A couple plays before that, Bautista threw a guy out at first for a rare 9/3 groundout and there was a feeling of invincibility and destiny. But then that shit happened.



Well let's see how they bounce back from that crapola.

Stanton gave Teheran a nice warm welcome in the form of a 430 foot shot to dead center.

i've been a fan of Ike Davis in Pittsburgh, but I admit I wish we had Garrett Jones back

is he getting a nice following, cultish fan club down there in Miami, Tron?

Oscar Tavares supposed to be in lineup for the Cards today!

Braves win! Music to my ears.

Blue Jays just opened up a 7-0 lead in the first and for some reason I was just struck with an overwhelming feeling they are going to lose this game.

The fuck is that about?

Toronto-itis I guess.

Well okay so no problem. A couple of minor statistical anomalies.

1) There was a save in an 12-2 ballgame.

2) Dude who started for KC now has an ERA of 43.88 (up from 27.00)

Oscar Tavares supposed to be in lineup for the Cards today!

It's country music day at the Rogers Center today. First 20,000 get a Blue Jays cowboy hat.

I know because Harmony won tickets from the country station she listens to. She's planning to be there right when the gates open to get her hat. She won't be the only one.

Big crowd for the Jays today for sure.

Pirates trade reliever Bryan Morris to the Marlins for a 39th overall draft pick

a) since when can you trade draft picks?

b) why would the Marlins give up such a high pick for a diamond dozen reliever?

 

[Tron]

Because the Marlins front office is made up of mega boobs who have zero understanding of advanced stats.

They gave Ryan Webb away for nothing and went out and got Marmol etc

Morton pitches for the Pirates.
