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.

Rex Hudler just advocated bunting with two strikes with no one on because...I think because breaking balls are hard to hit?

36 pitches, three runs on one hit with four walks. Auspicious beginning.

I have no idea why, but it seems like any ad for Edward Jones will cause the MLB app on my phone to lose wi-fi reception while watching games

Attaboy, Ackley. The long road from complete poo poo to mediocrity begins with one potentially game winning RBI.

Based on the Rodney's relatively restrained hat tilt, I'd say there is still ample time for the Mariners to gently caress it all up.

OK - it's the second game in a row that I've noticed it.

Does Justin Smoak now always go over and pretend to ask Rodney what he's shooting an arrow at or something like that?

Edit - now reading that some Rays players used to "watch" the arrow with him. I assume Smoak is just doing something similar.

Hamels/ Wainwright has certainly lived up to the billing so far. Pitchers are a combined 3/4, even!

I like that the Phillies added the Liberty Bells to their socks a few years ago, it's a nice detail.

Laughing pretty hard at this Sox/A's game. Ump blows the call on a caught foul-tip third strike that would have ended the inning, allowing the tying run to score two pitches later on a passed ball :lol:

yeah the Red Sox were super lucky there. I guess foul tips, like all ball-strike calls, are not reviewable?

also you could clearly hear the fans cussing out the ump on the Oakland broadcast and it ruled

there was literally no reason to bring Hamels out for the eighth. Sandberg wants to kill his starters.
