Crap day yesterday. I can’t believe how putrid the Yankees are that they can’t beat Lance Lynn. Same with the Phillies. What the hell happened to Kyle Schwarber, and how does a lineup with 5 superstars at the top get shut down by the Tigers with rookies pitching? Gross. At least I can count on […]

Soooo close to another 3-0 day, but the Orioles blew the lead in the 8th and lost in 10 innings in Milwaukee. I can’t get too mad, my thinking was right. Musgrove helped me out by recording over 6.5 Ks for the first time all year, and A’s / Pirates Over hit very easily. 2-1 […]

How can you not be romantic about baseball? Yesterday featured Liam Hendricks returning from Stage 4 cancer to pitch again, Mike Soroka starting for the Braves after 3 years of rehab, and 31 year old Mike Mayers taking a perfect game into the 8th inning against the team that drafted, then gave up on him.The […]
