It's not yet clear that the teams I hate will fail so I can't tell if this is going to be a good season or not yet.

The Brewers were miserable for a week and then bounced back to be 5 ahead of the Cards again, so this season is the best season ever as far as I'm concerned. I hope the Pirates pick up steam and the Cards can't even get into a wildcard game.

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

Swap him with Blackmon and the NL outfield is fine.

But Carlos Gomez is arguably playing better than McCutchen this year and should maybe get that spot.

So Workman gets suspended for throwing at Longoria, Price intentionally hits Ortiz and gets a warning then hits Carp and gets nothing?

Price should miss a start but I'm not going to sit around pretending the Rays are the main bad actors here, no matter how much Boston's pushing that Price hitting Ortiz was actually retaliation for last year or some nonsense. Workman got suspended because he threw behind a guy and up near his head.

Ortiz should probably sit for a game for calling Price "a little girl" on the record and threatening to charge the mound, while we're at it, but it'd take a lot more direct/serious misogyny than that to get MLB to take action like the NHL did against Sean Avery

When did I defend the Red Sox? Suspending a player for hurting another player's feelings (by saying "You throw like a girl", of all things) is insanity. Puig offends someone every time he does anything, should he be suspended? Hell no.
