The Angels would get someone from Pendelton that only knows Taps.

I think the best that ‘Arte’ can do is find someone that can fart “Feels So Good” by Chuck Mangione.

The Yankees just had their worst month since 1991 at 10-18. They began August 11.5 games ahead in the East. They now lead TB by 6 games entering this weekend's series against the Rays. 

[Blarg]

It would only be 5 if the Angels hadn't swept the Blue Jays.

How wonderful it would be for the Yankees to lose their division lead and then lose in the 1-game WC playoff.

[Blarg]

It could happen, if they had to play the Angels for 3 more series.

Andrew Velazquez is rated second in shortstops with a 7.3 rating. For God's sake, somebody teach Squid how to hit. 

[Blarg]

Angels traded away the second highest rated Left fielder in Brandon Marsh. If he learns how to hit then the trade may bite the Angels in the ass.

Braves found themselves an ace for the next 6 years.  Nice trio of rookies they've had this year

He had a 2.87 ERA before last night, a WHIP of just over 1.00, and was K'ing 13.3/9IP.  It's not like last night was a fluke.
