    Congrats to Poop Holes...but shame on MLB for having a series pitting 2 of baseballs best players on the field together for the first time (not to mention Pujols on the brink of 500) and not putting it on national tv.

    At least we get Yankees/Red Sox though...for the ten millionth time.

    This sport still doesn't know how to market it's star players.

    I don't entirely disagree but I am pretty sure they know what is going to get the highest rating. Especially with tanaka and Ellsbury

    ...however I love Bob Costas doing baseball games. Him and Kaat are great together.

    Not a fan of costas doing play by play. So many inane statistics. Kaat is awesome. Yanks broadcasts miss him big time

    Agreed. I miss Jim Kaat in the booth for Yankees games.

    yeah i hear you, especially with tanaka. but i'm just so sick of having yankees/redsox shoved down my throat every single time they play. and i'd be willing to bet they play 140 times per year.

    trout has the potential to be one the greatest of all time, and if you're not a baseball fan, you probably have no idea who he is. that's pretty sad. at this point in lebron's career, he was a household name to the entire country.

    The worst part is that all these Yankees/Red Sox games are always so long...4 hours seems to be the norm when those 2 teams play. And now with the replay challenges, it will just get longer.

    Yep, that's really sad about Trout.....22 year old stud and he is not a household name.

    easy now....last night's game lasted only 3 hours and 20 minutes. that's one of the quicker yankee/redox games you will see. haha

    Trout is unreal to watch. Ever since he came into the league, I always look forward to watching him play when the Yankees play the Angels. He's my age and going to be a joy to watch as his career goes on.

    Jesus, Seattle vs. Houston today. Two terrible offenses. Will Cano have Cano numbers of the past with a line-up like that around him?

    So apparently, AJ Pierzynski wears number 40 for Hawk Harrelson. If there weren't enough reasons to hate him.

    The scoring of this play decided my fantasy baseball match-up yesterday. It was called a triple but very well could have been called an error. How would you have scored this play?

    I'd kinda lean towards error, but the video was a little jerky on my slow internet connection.

    It's an error. It's a total error and I got fucked. I lost by .5 points and would have won if that was scored an error like it should have been. Fuck.

    E-7 all the way and it's not even close to being a hit. That so-called official score keeper should lose his job>LOL!

    All's well that ends well. Scoring this play a triple (bullshit) appeared to cost me my game (I lost by half a point) but there was a stat correction this morning and a pitcher of mine (Ryu from the Dodgers) was awarded a point so I won! But I was pissed. I actually google searched the phrase "Yankee Stadium Official Scorer" because I wanted to know his name so I could properly hate him. But with the Ryu scoring correction, it's all water under a bridge now.

    Jeff Hoffman from ecu is getting tommy john. Was supposed to be a top 5 pick. Might still go in the first round but that would be tough. The mom heads up the geography department at ecu so have been of following this dude for a minute. Hoping this doesn't hurt him too much

    A friend of mine, who is a CUBS fan, said the rumor was the Cubs are(were?) thinking about taking him.
