    What are they 30 games up. Not bad for a struggling injured team.


    Athletics aren't going away. One of the best moneyball teams ever. Lowest paid team in the league and I couldn't name 3 players. But they can mash.

    Now springer is on the dl. Your world series mvp.


    Tuve had a setback. And not looking good for the knee. Correa soon but I prefer Bregman at ss.

    George joins Altuve, Correa, Devo, McCann, and McCullers on the DL, though it’s looking likely that Correa could return in the near future.

    Giants will be sellers. You know what that means. Bum and posey on the block. Astros only thing missing is a superstar catcher.

    Bum and Posey have full no trade clauses,.. they'd have to want to leave SF,.. and our management is stubborn, they (and I) still think we gotta shot at the playoffs,.. but at 5 out, we can't afford a bad streak or we're doomed, even then. I don't see us becoming sellers, like I said, stubborn.

    We're overstocked in the bullpen, maybe trade Melancon and/or Strickland to help us this year and in the future. Hope you get to see Ray Black pitch, he's special,

    Go Giants

    Damn. I thought Altuve was almost ready to return. I saw that Springer didn't play last night but I was hoping it was just a rest day.

    They will agree to be traded. Buster behind the dish in Houston was a dream years ago. I'd still take him today. What is he about 32. It won't be the Astros if it happens actually.

    Yeah derrek Fisher recalled and leading off. Batting about .170. Tucker sent back to Fresno last week. He was lost as fuck batting .150 with even worse peripherals. Got a mishmash.

    With Springer and Altuve out Bregman might not see another fast ball for the rest of the season.
