Dodgers looking pretty good. Thanks for giving us Justin Turner, Cajole.

I can't even get that upset. It's more a "how the fuck did that happen?" situation.

But yeah, he'd be the perfect guy for the Mets to have right now.

I'm told the Braves continue to play baseball, but I'm not sure I believe it.

As long as we get Juan Pierre 2002 - 2005 production from him, I won't mind. (actually can't remember if Juan Pierre had a relatively low OBP compared to his avg, but you get the point)

Oh and we swept the Giants and Jose is back. Too bad Stanton got hurt.

Absolute fucking trash. Contract the Rockies. Also, shoot the Wilpons into the sun, because I'm sure the only reason Tulo's not a Met is money.

Matt Harvey is arguably now the Mets' 3rd starter.

Jacob deGrom: 2.05 ERA, 2.56 FIP, 128 K, 23 BB
Noah Syndergaard: 2.70 ERA, 2.63 FIP, 91 K, 20 BB
Matt Harvey: 3.16 ERA, 3.69 FIP, 116 K, 31 BB

Fuck. I've never had one of my sports teams suck as much as the Sox are currently sucking. This'd be some kind of new sucking record (if I hadn't already set it in 2013

)

No but seriously.

It’s getting ugly. The Red Sox have lost three straight and 12 of the last 14 games and at 44-58 are on pace to lose 92 games. That could be optimistic, especially if the Red Sox trade a few veterans before Friday’s deadline.

I wish the Mariners had anyone worth trading.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #141 on:** July 30, 2015, 10:31:43 AM »

...I'm not sure wtf the Braves are thinking with this trade. We're giving up a serviceable middle of the rotation, potential #2 starter in Alex Wood, a VERY valuable reliever in Jim Johnson, a serviceable lefty reliever in Avilan, and one of our top prospects in Jose Peraza.

In return we're getting Hector Olivera, who apparently the Braves REALLY loved this spring and has never faced major league pitching and might be 32 or 33 instead of 30, a middling pitching prospect, and a draft pick. I fully agree that we need a can't miss offensive prospect... just not this one, who has a busted elbow and is OLD. First genuinely stupid thing Hart has done here so far imo.

DD really did try tho. He made moves every trade deadline to strengthen it, but it never really worked out for him. BPs are tricky to build since reliever performance is really volatile and I guess they could never find a guy from their minor league system that stuck and shined.

Now DD's gone tho. It will be interesting to see how the Tigers move forward with the rebuild.

As a St Louisan who enjoys baseball but hates Cardinals fans, it always puts a smile on my face when the Cards get bumped out. It's pretty much unbearable around here in October.

But I'm thoroughly enjoying these delicious salty tears due to getting bumped out by the Cubs.
