Nice to see after the way the last two seasons ended with these two
Glad to see the Braves make a statement after Hudson's injury. But with that being said, the Braves will surely see the Cards again in October, and then we will see if the Braves can break through. Not likely, but I will be rooting them on nonetheless.

Tim Kurkjin just asked on Mike and Mike "how can this be that other people from other sports have come through biogenesis and no one cares but baseball"? Maybe because no one cares...
really expected my world champion giants to let some guys go.

bud (light) selig likes to tout his doping control but.....
the SF Chronicle uncovered BALCO (along with the DEA and IRS)
two clubhouse guys (yanks and mets) basically wrote the mitchell report
and some alternative paper in miami broke the latest story
so....."tough testing"? not so much.

Can someone explain how the A's are winning so much?
moneyball and shitty division ... they get to beat up on the astros ...
Yeah that's why they have had 8 straight winning months since last June. :fp:
They have a great group of players with good chemistry, and an even better group of young starting pitchers to go along with a good bullpen. It also doesn't hurt having one of the best managers in the game.
Tell the captain 'This boats not safe And we're drowning.'

they are 10-12 against the East Division, 11-9 against the central and 30-21 against the west ... i'm not saying they are horrible ... but you can't tell me their division isn't a significant reason for their record

Every division has shitty teams in them, but you still have to beat them. We will see what happens the rest of the season, and if they make the post season to find out if they are for real or not. Regardless it has been a fun last season and a half to be an A's fan.

Mark Cuban, flamboyant billionaire and owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, expressed his displeasure with the harsh penalty levied on Alex Rodriguez during a Thursday appearance on The Tonight Show.
Rodriguez was handed a 211-game suspension by Major League Baseball on Monday for his involvement with the Biogenesis clinic.
"Horrible. No, I think it’s disgraceful what Major League Baseball is trying to do to him," Cuban said of Rodriguez. "Not that he doesn’t deserve to be suspended, he does. But they have policies in place. First time offenders… 50 games, second time 100. 214 games? That’s personal…"
Cuban's ire was directed largely at MLB commissioner Bud Selig, accusing the longtime executive of questionable business practices. Cuban unsuccessfully attempted to buy the Texas Rangers in a bankruptcy auction back in 2010.
"It’s basically become Bud Selig’s mafia. He runs it the way he wants to run it… When I was trying to buy the Rangers, it was an open auction. And I sat in there with my good hard-earned money trying to bid and they did everything possible to keep me from buying the team. They had lawyers in their trying to change the rules, they had people trying to put up more money… it was horrible!"

The Tigers are on a roll ... 12 game winning streak. Getting great starting pitching, the bullpen seems to have settled down a little. Need to get Prince and Jackson to get hitting a little better. But what a great FA signing was Tori Hunter, can't say enough good about him. The sabre metrics vs. old school are starting to debate Trout and Cabrera again ... I wouldn't forget about Max Sherzer ... if he wins 25 or more he quite possibly could be in the MVP mix.

Disgraced baseball icon Pete Rose recently advised Alex Rodriguez and other players who have run afoul of baseball's PED ban that they should come clean, saying baseball's all about giving second chances.
Early this morning, he expanded on the topic during a radio chat with 93.7 The Fan’s John Phillips.
To sum it up, Rose, who was banished from baseball for betting on games during his time as a manager for the Cincinnati Reds, says he'd have been beter off if he'd used drugs, been an alcoholic or assaulted his wife or girlfriend.
"I made mistakes. I can’t whine about it. I’m the one that messed up and I’m paying the consequences. However, if I am given a second chance, I won’t need a third chance. And to be honest with you, I picked the wrong vice. I should have picked alcohol. I should have picked drugs or I should have picked up beating up my wife or girlfriend because if you do those three, you get a second chance. They haven’t given too many gamblers a second chances in the world of baseball,” said Rose.
Rose, the game's all-time hits leader, was banned in 1989 by then commissioner Bart Giamatti.
He didn't publicly admit to betting on baseball until 2004, when he released an autobiography "My Prison Without Bars."
Reinstatement rumors have persisted over the years, but MLB has shown no inclination to bring him back into the fold.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Major League Baseball decided Thursday to implement instant replay on virtually every play but the strikezone - including three manager's challenges per game - that will begin in 2014, Commissioner Bud Selig announced.
"It's a historic day,'' Selig said.
MLB vice president Joe Torre, Atlanta Braves president John Schuerholz and advisor Tony La Russa presented the all-encompassing replay proposal to the 30 ownership groups, which was widely accepted, Selig said, and expected to be formalized at their quarterly owners' meetings Nov. 13-14 in Orlando, Fla.
The replay will include up to three challenges that mangers will be provided during a game, one in the first six innings, and two beginning in the seventh inning through the game's duration. If a manager is successful with his replay challenge, he will not be charged with a review.
If a manager exhausts his three challenges, and umpire crew can make a review of its own only to determine home-run calls, a rule that will be grandfathered in with the new regulations.
Baseball, using its central MLBAM offices in New York, will be provided with replay cameras that will be monitored by men with umpiring experience. They will make the final call on disputed plays, not the crew chief. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ml ... d/2659555/
