MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

Play of the game was definitely the dude who jumped in the pool off the cliff, caught the ball and held on, while saving his whole beer and being underwater.

It's like twice as long as it should be. 3+ hours is WAY too long.

It is even worse in person. I went to the one in St. Louis, never again, it is the worst sporting event to attend.

I had a good time last night and in Chicago.

I would think the softball game would be worse, or is that all one entry? I find the softball game somewhat entertaining, but only if you were on the field or watching on TV. I can't imagine it's engaging at all with the crowd.

Tards sign up Garcia for 4 years with options for years 5 and 6. Guess they'll have the lefty till he hits 29 or till into his early 30's

Good move for them.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->(Derek)Holland has three shutouts in his last eight starts. That's one fewer than Andy Pettitte had in 479 career starts.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Am I the only one that finds that absolutely astounding? Pettite only had 4 shutouts?

I think it's 5 now. He shut out the prosecution yesterday (or at least his wife did).

[funkster]

Aardsma to undergo TJS. Oh he of the 101 mph heater...

God do I hate Thom Brenneman

Edit: Click on the video in that recap. For some reason it didn't link directly to the video.

[funkster]

He sounds like a hillbilly.

[chshdsck]

Fuck..the Twins just bailed out the Sox today.

[CFOrfan]

Melky Cabrera has the 3rd most multi-hit games this season. Thought that was an odd fact.

[Coldneck]

Tigers trade for 3B Wilson Betemit. Does this kill the rumors of their interest in Aramis?
