When has Kenny "All-In" Williams not gone for it?

The Swamp Dunnkey traded to the A's for cash and some 23 year-old A-Ball relief pitcher. Good luck with that, Beane.

Believe it or not, his OPS+ the last three seasons were 114, 105 and 117.

Phillies are one out away from combining on a no-hitter (first 6 IP by Hamels).
EDIT: And they did it.

Quote:Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and pornography. That’s what you’ll get if you watch the St. Louis Cardinals on TV. Every fan I know has remarked on the filthy Hardee’s commercial featuring a nearly nude woman writhing in soap suds. It’s pornography, pure and simple.
A few Sundays ago I sat down with my family after church to watch the Cardinals. When this commercial came on, my 86-year-old mother, almost in tears said, “Why do they have to do this?” My 13-year-old granddaughter hid her face and my 11-year-old grandson was so embarrassed, he didn’t know where to look. My 89-year-old father — who played baseball in the St. Louis Browns organization — apologized “I’m sorry this is on my TV,” as if it were his fault.
Then it came on again, and my mom grabbed for the remote to try to turn the channel. We were all embarrassed. And then it came on again, and I got mad.
I couldn’t help but think of Stan Musial, the standard bearer of the Cardinals and a man of impeccable character. He had to be looking down from heaven with tears in his eyes.
Since then, I’ve called the offices of team owner Bill DeWitt Jr. and president Bill DeWitt III and left five messages. I have not had the courtesy of a return phone call. Unfortunately, Hardee’s money trumps fans' concerns. Maybe thousands need to call the DeWitts. Will they listen?

I have no idea why the commercial would only be running during Cardinal games. I'm betting it's not. Hardees advertising has been horrid for years.
Who or what was Washington screwing?

True story...
My wife's dad grew up in Wood River, IL. It's Cardinals country through and through. We'd been married a little less than a year at the time, I think, and decided to road trip down so I could meet her extended family.
We get to her aunt's house -- and this is literally the first time I've met this person. I'm extra polite, introduce myself, etc. The first words out of her mouth are, "Do y'all believe in The Rapture?"

MLB.com uses PECOTA now?
If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy

Sounds like Giancarlo Stanton was beaned in the face.

One of the craziest sequences I've ever seen. Stanton gets nailed in the face, bleeds all over home plate and is carted off. The 1B ump calls that he swung at the pitch and makes it strike 2.
After the game finally continues, on the very next pitch, the pitch goes up and in on Reed Johnson who pinch hits for Stanton. The ball either hits his hand or the bat. But the ump again says Johnson swung at it and they call it strike 3.
Meanwhile, Casey McGehee is on deck and starts screaming at the 1B umpire. The pitcher, who is clearly distraught after hitting Stanton, thinks McGehee is screaming at him and starts screaming back. The benches clear. McGehee gets thrown out. After realizing they called it a swing, Mike Redmond gets thrown out.
This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena.

And now Carlos Gomez gets hit so the Marlins pitcher and acting manager get tossed.
