Jays.....2013 World Series Champs!!! Watch Out!!!!
We just need to find a bullpen somewhere?
Bullpens are super sporadic from year to year and are such a crap shoot. The (Devil) Rays had one of the worst in MLB in '07, then one of the best in '08 without making any moves that would be considered big. All it takes is signing a couple solid guys and it could completely turn things around.

What an assclown, are there even any Cubs fans who like him anymore? I'm sure he'll walk away from the $24 million he's guaranteed over the next 1.25 seasons.

I mean, I hate that he sucks and is making way too much money.
Is it possible he could retire, then unretire and pop up a year later with the Mets?
I believe that the Cubs would still hold rights over him until his voided contract expired. But of course those things are all negotiable. So if this was just a tantrum to get the fuck away from the Cubs it could work. Or it could be that he's too unstable to take a chance on. It's likely the latter.

I don't care how shitty the competition (sans Cardinals) has been, a 16-2 stretch is unreal. Baseball Prospectus' playoff odds had the Brewers with a 86% chance for the division before today's games, so it'll probably be close to 90% tomorrow. All that means is that I'll be clinically depressed or worse if they blow it. I'm definitely enjoying it for now though.

As long as the Brewers don't pull a Mets circa 07/08 then they should win the central. The next four series for both the Brewers and the Cardinals are against teams under .500. The Braves seem to have the wild card on lock unless they collapse. Uggla getting hot should certainly help them in the home stretch. I'm pulling for the D-Backs to best the Giants in the west. The Phillies batters still have a hard time figuring out Lincecum and Cain so I'd much rather face the D-Backs in the playoffs.

Yeah that was a tough loss. Halladay pitched well, but the Diamondbacks made good contact in the 9th and strung together a timely series of hits. They're looking tough. I'm going to the game tomorrow so hopefully Cliff Lee can keep up his scoreless streak and get us a W.

Everyone always points out his military service and how he missed 3 years of his mid-20's. What's just as nuts are his numbers at age 41. It's pretty safe to say he'd have hit 600+ HR's if he played from 43-45 and then added on a couple extra years after he retired.
Whenever Williams appeared at the plate—pounding the dirt from his cleats, gouging a pit in the batter's box with his left foot, wringing resin out of the bat handle with his vehement grip, switching the stick at the pitcher with an electric ferocity—it was like having a familiar Leonardo appear in a shuffle of Saturday Evening Post covers. This man, you realized—and here, perhaps, was the difference, greater than the difference in gifts—really intended to hit the ball.

I guess one can only hope cryopreservation works on human beings.
Speaking of B-R, occasionally when I'm bored I'll look at Bonds' page. Yeah I know steroids asterisk blah blah blah. Dude put up a 1.422 OPS. Over a full season.
I sure hope so. I think they have a really great chance of winning the Phillies series tomorrow with Kennedy pitching. If they can keep up that momentum and win some games against Atlanta and Washington after that they have a pretty easy schedule and a really good chance of holding the division lead. Now if they can just go two weeks without losing a player to a broken bone they should be alright.
