Damn, the Dodgers are on fire, going for their 12th in a row tonite and they have the best record in baseball.

Outstanding, Kyle Farmer. Good for you; enjoy your well-deserved blowjob.
27 - having slugged it out in the minors for years - first at bat in the bigs, walk off double that scores 2 for LAD.

Ah, I was just trying to figure if there was a Cubs angle somewhere
Yu Darvish to the Dodgers...damn, already they are the beast of the NL and they just got even better

Yeah, the Dodgers are going to be tough to beat.
The Cubs filled a couple gaps with a nice trade with the Tigers. Justin Wilson (Reliever) and Alex Avila (Catcher) for good prospects.

Damn, how did Arenado catch that pitch? Hell of a piece of hitting to win the game in the 9th.
Yes, I get every MLB game

And what the hell happened in Boston last night?!? Jesus! That catch into the bullpen was insane!
Flair for the dramatic: Red Sox reclaim first place in insane fashion
Scott LauberESPN Staff Writer
BOSTON -- Amid the euphoria and the sheer delirium,*Christian Vazquez*stood with his back to the*Boston Red Sox*dugout, arms in the air, just bathing it all in.
And then came the bath.
Xander Bogaerts*sneaked back onto the field and dumped a bucket of red Gatorade on Vazquez, who moments earlier had crushed a walk-off three-run home run to almost straightaway center field. It was quite likely the hardest ball the Boston catcher has ever hit, and it ended probably the strangest game you will see all season, a*12-10 Red Sox victory*over the*Cleveland Indians.
"This was a PlayStation game, you know?" Bogaerts said. "You keep bouncing back and forth. It was like PlayStation."
Consider the wackiness of Tuesday night in Fenway Park:
Red Sox ace*Chris Sale, the Cy Young favorite in the American League, gave up a season-high seven runs -- five in the first two inning -- after allowing a total of five runs in his previous six starts.
Indians right-hander*Carlos Carrasco*gave away a 5-0 lead in the second inning and lasted only 1 2/3 innings, the shortest non-injury start of his career.
A Red Sox second baseman not named*Dustin Pedroia*notched three hits and four RBIs. And with Pedroia going on the disabled list earlier in the day,*Eduardo Nunez*might get a lot more time at second. One thing is certain: Nunez will stay in the lineup, having gone 11-for-22 with four doubles and two homers in five games since being acquired last week in a trade with the*San Francisco Giants.
Indians center fielder*Austin Jackson*leaped to rob*Hanley Ramirez*of a home run in the fifth inning,*tumbled over the bullpen wall and held on to the ball. It was such a terrific catch that Red Sox closer*Craig Kimbrel*said, "You want to start clapping, but then you realize he just took a run away from us." Sufficiently impressed, the Fenway crowd gave Jackson a standing ovation. "I was just so pumped up, it's like I didn't even hear them," Jackson said. "I was glad I was able to hold on to it, especially going over like that."
Here's where things really got weird. Indians relief ace*Andrew Miller*couldn't hold a 7-5 lead in the sixth inning and blew only his second lead of the season.
Not to be outdone in the ninth inning, Kimbrel gave up a leadoff homer to*Francisco Lindor*and allowed the go-ahead run to score on a wild pitch. It was the fourth blown save for Kimbrel, who has struck out 81 of the 165 batters he has faced this season.
With two outs in the bottom of the ninth,*Mitch Moreland*struck out but reached base on a wild pitch from Indians closer*Cody Allen. After another wild pitch, Vazquez turned around a 95 mph fastball for only his second homer in 208 at-bats.

Austin Jackson robbed Hanley Ramirez with an absolutely ridiculous catch in 5th. Fenway crowd even gave a standing ovation. pic.twitter.com/JqCqiFm910
