though his home/road splits are pretty nuts. His SLG% at home (.806) is higher than his OPS on the road (.772).

Blackmon leads MLB in runs

Pretty amazing considering that all of those players (save for Bagwell) played before 1940.

You mean all the guys who reached 150? Which Blackmon has a chance to do?

Williams the lone exception then, he got 150 in 1949.

Well who woulda thought the Red Sox will get past the Tribe in October because of Doug Fist her

I used to always use some kind of sexual innuendo for my fantasy team named based on players I had. One year, the team's name was Fister Buchholz.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

...I wish I'd had Albert Pujols instead of Buchholz.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Fister Pujols

lolz

@SlinkyRedfoot what's up with the attendance at Indians games?

You can never count out the Cardinals.

Too many injuries on the pitching front.

Lynn is never much of a factor late season
Wainwright might be done
Rosenthal is probably done
Leake is pretty mediocre
Alex Reyes would be nice right about now

I think every team that Cardinals has faced in the past month has had at least 1 game where they've totally teed off on the Cardinals and that includes the win streak. They aren't pitching well at all right now.

Im not sure the basketball trade moves the needle on either team.

IT played his best ball with the Celtics almost guaranteed and previously was known for controlling the ball too much which is why he has been a bit of a journeyman.

Kyrie Irving is injury prone, doesn't play defense and apparently beefs with one of the most valuable players in any sport.

That draft pick, though...

Still can't count them out. They always seem to find a way to get into the post season

True but they didn't last year and they had a better team last year.

Luck swings both ways in baseball.

hes back

Red Sox recalled INF Deven Marrero from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Advice: Marrero has batted just .212/.258/.318 over 166 plate appearances this season in the majors. The 26-year-old utility infielder carries no fantasy relevance.

 

[cerealboi]

if you are cheating don't go to a place where there is a good chance you'll either be on the big screen on on television

Better advice: if you're with the side chick and want to go to a game, wear a T-shirt with profanity or some objectionable message on it. They'll never put you on camera.
