Now watching Houston @ NY.  Man, the Yankees are just a STACKED lineup.  If they get any kind of starting pitching at all they should run away with the AL championship and probably the World Series.

NOOOO EVIL EMPIRE!!!

Braves and Nationals are on now.

Yeah I know!

But I have to admire the team the Yankees have put together.  After adding Encarnacion, if they get any kind of starting pitching at all they are going to be tough to beat.  After all they've gotten to this point in the season without half their starting roster being healthy and now those guys are coming back. 

I really dislike the Yankees (especially after spending 3 years in Connecticut) but you have to admit the team is built to win this year.

I do agree with you. I just hate the thoughts of them back to the World Series.

Watched the Angels and Cardinals last night. Cards almost made a the 9th inning comeback. But the best part was seeing how much Albert Pujols is still loved by the St. Louis fans.

I went to the Pirate game yesterday and watched them come back from 3 down in the bottom of the 9th and tie the game, then come back from 3 down again the bottom of the 11th and beat the Padres 11-10. Crazy game. Glad I got to see it in person.

 I couldn't believe that final score when I saw it.  Battle of the crappy bullpens. 

Speaking of which, looks like the Cardinals will be without their closer the rest of the season.  Fireballing 22 year old Jordan Hicks has a torn UCL which 99% of the time means TJ surgery.  The guy is statistically the hardest thrower in MLB, regularly topping over 100mph.  I guess with throwing that hard Tommy John was inevitable.

I said that after the game. I guess the Padres bullpen was a little worse on that day.

Watched the Pirates lose to the Astros and former Bucco Gerritt Cole 5-1.

Watched the Cardinals lose to the A's and former Redbird Stephen Piscotty 7-3.

Watched the Pirates wallop the Astros 14-2. Plenty of offense and solid pitching by rookie Dario Agrazal.

Adam Wainwright pitched well allowing 2 runs in 7 innings while fanning 9 but the Cardinal offense was a no-show and they lost to the A's again 2-0.

Watching the Braves and Mets.

Watched the Pirates beat the Brewers 3-2;with the go ahead run scored in the top of the 9th

I'm watching the Yankees/Red Sox from London.  What a game those Londoners are getting; Yankees sent 10 men to the plate in the first and scored 6 runs, Red Sox sent 10 men to the plate in the first and scored 6 runs.  6-6 after 1.

That's the only game on in my area but I'd rather watch paint dry than another game of "baseball's greatest rivalry". Yawn...

Me too normally but I wanted to see how the people in England react.

17-13 NY was the final.  Holy crap!

And the players said it really didn't have anything to do with the stadium.  In other words it was just really lousy pitching.

Watching the Dodgers and Rockies.

After getting totally waxed last night 12-2, I'm watching the Cardinals offense again struggle to score as they're trailing the Padres 3-2 in the 8th.  It doesn't help that the team leader in homers and RBI, Marcel Ozuna, is out for who knows how long after fracturing two fingers on a pickoff play Friday night.   But every team has injuries and STL was struggling to score runs even with Ozuna so that's no excuse.  This team just has too many players underperforming.

EDIT: Cardinals ended up salvaging the last game in SD 5-3.

Started watching the Pirates and Cubs but it got rain delayed with the Bucs leading 2-0. I see this morning the Bucs ended up winning 5-1.

Josh Bell freak-out zone the other day. He showed promise before this season...now it's Promise Kept!

Yeah man. I think Bell should be starting the All-Star game. Not saying Freeman doesn't deserve to though.

Watched the Pirates beat the Cubs 6-5 on a Corey Dickerson walk off sac fly.

I've been watching the Marlins/Nationals since 10 am.   It's weird watching live baseball before noon.

Cardinals are still on the dreaded West Coast Trip (I've only seen 2 games in the last 8 days) so right now I'm watching the Rays/Yankees.

I'm watching the Brewers and Pirates play. Currently 1-0 Brewers in the top of the 5th.

The NL Central is a free-for-all; literally anyone could win it.  I mean the Reds are in "last place" and they're a whopping 3 1/2 games out.

I knew the NL Central would be wild but not like this; I thought the Cubs, Brewers and Cardinals would be well above .500 and battling it out.  I sure didn't think the whole division would be hovering around .500
