i don't really follow it this so much, but it took me several days to realize that Beltran and Pence (both on my fantasy team) were traded and playing for new teams :lol:

It's not my fault the shit fell through at the last minute.
The Braves got Bourn.
Fuck Jared Weaver, get a haircut bitch
Rockies have won 2 in a row :faint:
45 games left and about the only way the Rox have a shot of making the playoffs is to go 35-10 down the stretch...and that only gives them an outside shot since that gets them to only 90 wins :|
Fucking Cubs... GDMF Marmol
Astros get a pinch-hit walk-off grand slam to win it 6-5. :x

Former Baltimore Orioles pitcher found dead

(CNN) -- Mike Flanagan, a former Cy Young Award-winning pitcher with the Baltimore Orioles, was found dead Wednesday evening, the baseball team said.
"It is with deep sadness that I learned of the death of my friend Mike Flanagan earlier this evening. In over a quarter century with the organization, Flanny became an integral part of the Orioles family, for his accomplishments both on and off the field," Orioles owner Peter Angelos said.
Flanagan also worked as a broadcaster and executive with the Orioles after his 15-year career pitching for the team. He also played several years with the Toronto Blue Jays.
The lefty's best season was in 1979 when he won 23 games for the Orioles and garnered the Cy Young Award.
Authorities found Flanagan's body on a trail near his Maryland home, CNN affiliate WMAR reported.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances that led to Flanagan's death, the affiliate said.

That is so creepy... reminds me a little bit og back in the late 90's when we would be able to go Twins games for $1 when I was in college. Usually there were under 10,000 in the 60,000 seat metrodome and that seemed empty. i can't imagine being in a stadium with so few people...
yeah i can definitely remember some times at Tiger Stadium when the crowd was a little sparse, but it was never that bad
The Phillies clinched a playoff spot today with Halladay's 1 - 0 complete game shutout of the Houston Astros.
Their magic number to clinch the division is now 3.
I see the BoSox are doing their best to try and avoid making the playoffs this season :|

Sep 28, 1941:
Ted Williams becomes last player to hit .400 - On this day in 1941, the Boston Red Sox's Ted Williams plays a double-header against the Philadelphia Athletics on the last day of the regular season and gets six hits in eight trips to the plate, to boost his batting average to .406 and become the first player since Bill Terry in 1930 to hit .400. Williams, who spent his entire career with the Sox, played his final game exactly 19 years later, on September 28, 1960, at Boston’s Fenway Park and hit a home run in his last time at bat, for a career total of 521 homeruns.
Williams was born on August 30, 1918, in San Diego, and began his major league career with the Red Sox in 1939. 1941 marked Williams' best season. In addition to his .406 batting average--no major league player since him has hit .400--the left fielder led the league with 37 homers, 135 runs and had a slugging average of .735. Also that season, Williams, whose nicknames included "The Splendid Splinter" and "The Thumper," had an on-base percentage of .553, a record that remained unbroken for 61 years, until Barry Bonds achieved a percentage of .582 in 2002.
In 1942, Williams won the American League Triple Crown, for highest batting average and most RBIs and homeruns. He duplicated the feat in 1947. In 1946 and 1949, he was named the American League's Most Valuable Player and in June 1960, he became the fourth player in major league history to hit 500 homers. He was selected to the All-Star team 17 times.
Williams played his last game on September 28, 1960, and retired with a lifetime batting average of .344, a .483 career on-base percentage and 2,654 hits. His achievements are all the more impressive because his career was interrupted twice for military service: Williams was a Marine Corps pilot during World War II and the Korean War and as a result missed a total of nearly five seasons from baseball.
Williams, who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966, managed the Washington Senators (renamed the Texas Rangers in 1972) from 1969 to 1972. In 1984, the Boston Red Sox retired his uniform number (nine). Williams died of cardiac arrest at age 83 on July 5, 2002, in Florida. In a controversial move, his son sent his father’s body to be frozen at a cryonics laboratory.
Red Sox/Rays and Cards/Braves both come down to the final day...amazing to have 2 pairs of teams tied after 161 games
Boston's winning 3 - 2 and New York is beating up on the Rays 6 - 0 right now.
I won't celebrate until the games are over....the Red Sox have been great at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory this September :|
Both Atlanta and St. Louis are winning their games. They may be going to a wildcard playoff.
Man, ESPN has all 4 of these games on TV.
:lol:
