Everything is screwed up in baseball!

 

 

Boston Red Sox, 10-4, five-game win streak, first place

 

Colorado Rockies, 10-4, five-game win streak, first place

 

Tampa Bay Rays, 5-9, last place

 

Torii Hunter, leading the majors in batting with a .413 average

 

Vernon Wells, .971 OPS

 

Coco Crisp, .704 Slugging Pct.

 

A.J. Burnett, leading the majors in Strikeouts

 

 

 

I could go on...

I think the Mayan calendar was missinterpeted.

I think the Mayan calendar was missinterpeted.

According to one of those email chain letters deals it was possible to prevent the apocalypse so long as that ridiculous Gangnam Style video reach 1B views by Dec. 21st. We did. It worked.

Matt Kemp:

 

10-55, .182 BA

18 strikeouts

[Blarg]

Kershaw gave up 5 runs to the Padres yesterday to secure the Dodgers being swept at home.

Anyone can look good over 3 starts or 50 PA's (except the Angels). 

[Stradling]

Anyone can look good over 3 starts or 50 PA's (except the Angels).

Or look bad.

[nate]

What a relief...

 

I don't care about any other teams but the Angels.

[Turd Ferguson]

Nice to see former Angels succeeding somewhere else for once.

Until a couple games ago, Jean Segura was leading the national league in hitting.

[Taylor]

Troll Daddy's troll post percentage is a measly 73%.

[Angel Oracle]

But, but, we have the great Howie Kendrick and his $8.5 million/season salary and annual .700s OPS with so-so defense and a stupid number of GIDPs.

The Padres are making the news again.

[AZMike]

But, but, we have the great Howie Kendrick and his $8.5 million/season salary and annual .700s OPS with so-so defense and a stupid number of GIDPs. 

This year we will have a new GIDP king at three times that price.

 

Unfortunately, unlike a certain MVP-winner, he won't win a Triple Crown to offset his league-leading GIDP nod

"miss me yet?"

[fan_since79]

You forgot to mention he's hitting .413.

[Jay]

I thought for sure we would keep Torii after he basically carried us last September

[Taylor]

"miss me yet?"

 

Because Torii never swung at the first pitch and killed rallies! Oh wait.

[fan_since79]

Torii's going to rake this weekend in Anaheim.

"miss me yet?"

Oh hey there Mr. GIDP himself

The Braves are 12-2 with Uggla, B.J. Upton and Heyward hitting .163, .140 & .128.

The Braves are 12-2 with Uggla, B.J. Upton and Heyward hitting .163, .140 & .128.

Team ERA of 1.77 takes care of that.

[bdavis621]

For all the money the Dodgers spent they also don't look good. Getting swept by the Padres in their own park is brutal.

[AZMike]

The Braves are 12-2 with Uggla, B.J. Upton and Heyward hitting .163, .140 & .128.

At least Justin Upton is picking up the slack for his brother a little bit as well:

 

.333 / .393 / .852
