MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

[chshdsck]

Still waiting (hoping) the Sox come back down to earth. Especially that pitching staff. Latos?? WTF!!!

[Runnys]

I find myself not really giving a shit how the Sox do. Fact is that we only play them 4 games. I'm much more concerned with STL, Pitt, and any other NL team competing for a playoff spot.


I'll concern myself with the Sox when we play them 4 games in July.

...and then four games in November.

I don't believe the Sox are as good as their hot start, but am also not counting them out as a playoff contender. Detroit has many flaws and eventually the magic in KC will be gone. Cleveland seemed like the darkhorse but now their pitching depth is being tested by injuries. The rest of the AL teams are very flawed as well.

I just looked at the calendar to check if it was still April.

[jstraw]

I'm not at all concerned with the White Sox W-L record.

 

The Cubs have been taking care of business and that's all I give a shit about.

So the Sox are finally playing a team that isn't half dead. 10-2 Orioles.


My favorite part was a few minutes ago when Machado just blasted a grand slam which shockingly caused the broadcast to go silent.

Has Toronto been as bad as they played the Sox?

[Butcher]

Well, Danks pretty much blows. I hope they keep throwing him out there. Also, he's the highest paid player on their roster. Oops.

Aside from ranking 7th in the AL in HR and 3rd in OBP, they currently rank 11th in ERA, 9th in WHIP, 8th in SLG%, They are basically the definition of mediocre.

[funkster]

Yeah looked their numbers up after I posted. They do suck.

[funkster]

Dee Gordon suspended for PEDs. That's a big catch.

[rok]

The way he struggled in LA and then exploded after being traded to Miami, suppose this doesn't surprise me.

That sounds familiar....
