SF Giants wins 2nd World Series in 3 years, sweeps Detroit Tigers. Sandoval MVP.

[QUOTE="sherman-tank1"]

White Sox got the better of that trade by a huge margin, but as long as Youk is gone.

Yeah, have fun with Zach Stewart:P. Lillibridge could turn out to be something for you, though, he's been one of those "next season" players for us. Not a ringing endorsement, but it worked out with the Yankees and Swish.

Well f*ck. Another injury. Looks like Alvarez's elbow. Just...ridiculous.

Stay healthy Ricky.

Jays sign Moyer. I hope it's just depth for AAA. I really don't want him starting.

Could a rookie (Trout) win the AL MVP?

• .338/.399/.531
• Angels were 6-14 before his call-up from AAA. 34-19 since.
• Leads the AL in AVG and steals.
• Leads the AL in WAR, despite missing those first 20 games.
• 3rd among AL outfielders in UZR.
• Has a shot at 20 HR / 50 SB

I swear the Brewers are getting no-hit through half the game on a weekly basis now, being no-hit through 7 innings tonight.

Was there for both WS no? Stops hitting and people call him a "cancer", yep the Bo Sux Nation smear campaign is in full effect, just like every time before. The Sox didn't give up much, how were we not able to land him? Nice job Uncle Ned, this team is nosediving fast esp. without Kemp.X360PS3AMD05

He acted spoiled and that he was entitled to play regardless of his preformance.sherman-tank1

True words. Most athletes are like that I'm sure. The great few know when it's time to exit stage left. He had to know that he's not getting younger, and not producing. Be a team guy. That's seems to be their main issue recently. From an outsider and Yankee supporter.

Yanks looking strong. If they can start hitting when there's risp, they wont be caught. 28th in MLB.

CC and Pettitte are out for a few weeks now. May have spoke too soon :PJohnBean42

Just glad Cashman's going to stay in house. They should have some guys that can hold the fort until CC is back. Garcia has shown he has some guile and I think he will do fine.

Add to that every team will try to take them for everything they can.

So this happened today:

I feel pretty safe declaring it to be the catch of the year, what you can't see is that the hardly even slows down while getting to that ball. That's right up there with the Gary Matthews Jr. or Torri Hunter catches with the best i've seen in my lifetime.

Same old story for Bautista. If the average was a bit better, and he was on a winner, he would be a front runner for MVP imo. Now 26 HR, 14 this month. 61 RBI. 1st and 2nd in baseball respectivley. And I think he's just going to get better as the season goes. He's on pace to out-do his 2010 season.

No Kemp no Ethier, no-hit alert on all Dodger games until the ASB. They are having a historically bad June.X360PS3AMD05

No, that would be the Marlins. 2 years in a row actually.

Right next to an airline ad, too.

Also, I'm giddy that the Sox beat the Yankees. I had class tonight and I figured it was no big loss, Yanks would probably beat us. When I left they were up, but when I got to my car I found out they had a late three-run inning, sorry I had to mss it.

Aaron Hill hit for the cycle AGAIN tonight. 2nd time in 11 times. Only 2nd player ever in live ball era to have 2 in one season.

So happy to see him playing well.

And glad to see Lind have a big night. Hope he's here to stay and can hit like that consistently.

Hope he stays healthy. That is very impressive.

The Red Sox year has been summed up with little known players outpreforming our stars. Cook just pitched a 9 inning shutout with 81 pitches.

More bases is a better game, I agree. He's getting more air time than usual because he did it 11 days earlier too. Last time it was done was in '31.

Orioles acquire Jim Thome for 2 prospects Those better be crappy prospects because Orioles aren't getting to the playoffs this season. Master_Live

I saw Thome's last game as a Phillie then. Pretty neat...

Not really, but still.

Gosh, there needs to be a baseball sticky in here. >_>Yagr_Zero

Question to baseball fans. Are the Nationals gonna win the NL East or am I getting my hopes up?

My question is: What happens when you get to September and beyond? It's been widely reported that Strasburg will shut down. Zimmerman is young as well, and could be on a innings limit. Could pose some problems. JohnBean42

I think they will sit out Strasburg an extra day or two so as to keep his starts and innings low. Make it 6-7 days between starts. He should lose 2-3 over the season and therefore, keep him fresh and close to his limits. If he has a couple starts like his last, he can save a bit for the playoffs. Just keep him out of games, it's simple. If they are in a fight late and need him, then use him. If they can afford to rest him, then all the better. They need to build a nice cushion to rely on so they can ease off innings from all their starters. What's the minors for if they can't/don't have anyone that can come up for a couple quality starts?

I guess they can. Only problem is, that can really mess with a pitcher, going every 6-7 days, then come playoffs he goes back to 4 or so? That what I read from pitchers anyways. They like consistency. JohnBean42

If they limit him now, they can start to change the rotation closer to the playoffs so he can acclimate to it. What's best for the team. Hope they get things right.

Marlins acquire Carlos Lee

Dear lord why... He has no power and an OPS below .700 away from that sandbox he plays in most of the time.

Marlins should just demote Bell from the closer role PERMANENTLY at least for the rest of this season. Morale has to be low when that MOFO gets to the mound. Master_Live

I actually feel bad for him. I know he isn't sucking on purpose, but he still sucks.

Most overlooked trade by AA was getting Villanueva. Got him for....$750,000 I think. He;s come up huge for us the last 2 year.

Sox swept the Rangers, does this mean they're legit?

I hate Francisco Cordero. Please cut him. ASAP. Tired of this BS day after day.
