Joe Maddon every year.

Buck for me. How that team has a winning record leaves my mind boggled.

I concur with GF, not sure I could even name you 5 Orioles, yet, they are winning. I have Matt Wieters and Adam Jones down....

Can't wait for this Astros team to go to the AL next season. I think they have a good shot at beating the 62 Mets in futility record wise
I BELIEVE!

Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus was hired by the Houston Astros as Pro Scouting Director. Link. I'm glad for Kevin, but as a BP subscriber, I'll miss his stuff as that was the biggest reason I signed up.

Good hire by the Astros. They're getting smart, and moving to a division full of really smart baseball people and the Angels.

also, some Mariners fan in a red speedo and orange shoes ran onto the field and the Halos feed had the camera on him for quite a bit before they finally cut away. Clearly had him running by Trout at 1B as the guy ran to 2B and then into the OF to avoid security. Can't wait for the gif to be made of the guy blazing past Trout
amazing

What a game from the A's. Nice to put some crooked numbers up to start the weekend series.

I know I said I would not be ranting this year, but **** IT, I am doing it anyway.
PLAYOFFS? Don't talk about playoffs with this team. I wanna see us score multiple ******* runs in a game. The last four games: 0 runs, 0 runs, 1 run, 0 runs. THATS A GRAND ******* TOTAL OF ONE GOD DAMN RUN...in 36 innings. And we scored that run when we were already down 8 to 0. Yeah, our pitching hasn't been stellar, but if Tim McCarver was around he would tell us that u can't win many games scoring 0 runs. And yes I dropped a GD bomb, it don't matter, no one is reading this. BUT SCORE SOME ******* RUNS CARDINALS! When we got 2 out of 3 from the Reds I thought maybe we could get hot, and win the division, now all I want to see is a gosh darn run. Funny how things change? NO, IT ******* SUCKS! And yeah, I know 29 teams didn't win the world series and I sound spoiled, well BOO ******* HOO TO U *******. Good day!

It's actually 39 innings going back to the 7th of your win over Pittsburgh...
1 run in the last 39 innings.

I like how a lot of former Red Sox players did most of the damage tonight.

Alex Avila has been incredibly terrible and unclutch this season.
