Giancarlo is a bad bad man.

Did he crush one off Verlander?

Yeah it was a moon shot. The Tigers were up 5-0 in that game now it's 7-7 b9. Get used to that.

somehow verlander had a no hitter into the 5th? his stuff didn't look like that much. well, compared to chen he probably looked unhittable.

Chris Carter went deep today. I'd like to see 34 more of those. He was one of my out of the box picks in a home run pool.

Trevor Story is off to quite the start ... in the first 3 games he has 4 HRs (and 14 RBIs incidentally) which if he theoretically kept that pace up would give him a total of 216 HRs for the season, giving him an OPS+ of 267 ... a very silly number indeed (last year's leader was Bryce Harper @ 195).

Funny thing is, back in 2002, Bonds' OPS+ for the year was 268.

Again ... Trevor Story's theoretical OPS+ would still be just under Bonds' actual one.

Thankfully, PEDs had no real effect since "everyone" was doing them.

Maeda is due for a bombing and I suspect he's going to get it tonight.

Hey, no White Sox cap?

A Tuffy Rhodes start stretched over two weeks-esque

Damn I was hoping K-Rod would blow that game. Shaky save to put it nicely. His stuff looks way short.

The Jakemiester is wheelin and dealin tonight. I love watching this Giants team.

Someone call the Park Ranger. The Moose is loose! 7 HR 8 k's on the season.

The Braves hit their 4th team home run tonight. 4th?!? That team's a fuckin joke.

Sean Manaea doesn't look like the same guy I saw get his brains beatin in at ISU during his draft year. That was in the middle of his rough stretch that dropped him out of the 1st round. He's rockin a full windup and dropped his arm slot to low 3/4. This cat looks a lot smoother and deceptive than the guy I saw a few years ago. I like it.

Thing that jumps out the most for me are the two New York teams. Reyes and Wright then Jeter and Posada. You'd think there were guys playing together longer than 6 years for the Mets. Then with the Yankees, I didn't picture Posada being there that long, but I guess he was.

Yeah I did a double take on the NY teams as well.

With the Yankees your first thought is teammates before the 80's but then you realize, damn, those early 90's Yanks stuck around forever. In fact, didn't they have to push Posada out the door kicking and screaming?

Nomar Mazara hit a go ahead home run in the top of the 8th then threw a missile to cut down the tying run in the bottom of the 8th. Kid's gonna be a monster.

Someone call the Park Ranger! The Moose is loose! Game tying knock to hang a BS on Papledouche. Love it

Carlos Gomez just got thrown out of the game for arguing with the 1st base umpire between innings. It was a weird scene. He was going out to his position and just started yelling at him. Gomez is a fuckin idiot.

And the Astros lose the game. Wa wa wa waaaaaaaaaa

Aaron Nola is really fuckin good.

I hope that bat flip was worth it Bautista cause you just got your dumb ass blasted! That was fucking awesome!

Came right down main street! Looked like he checked his teeth after that one.

So much for old school baseball "fights"

The Gigantes are playing some good ball. Zija is throwing the hell out of it.
