2013 MLB Season

Dickey looked pretty good yesterday, as did James Shields of the Royals who pitched a two-hitter in a loss.

Angels are 4-10 get your fu**** acts together and soon 

Go Jays Go!!! I need some MLB playoffs in this god dam city! Lol

Also, what is going on with Doc Halladay?  Miami 14 Philadelphia 2.  That is twice (in a row?) this season that he has gotten absolutely hammered.

Should also be ashamed to have a team with big payroll that is a travesty: the Toronto Blue Jays!

I'm not quite as shocked as I should be.  Dickey having a Cy Young season last year was kind of a shocker.  Hard to believe that a knuckleballer was able to pitch with that much success.  It will be interesting to see if he is able to find whatever it is that he has seemed to have lost.  The Marlins were last year's huge disappointment and adding those guys from that team, you kind of had to wonder if that stink might rub off on the Blue Jays.  They've probably already dug themselves to big of a hole to get out of this year, but who knows, with the talent that they have on that team maybe they will turn it around and at least make it interesting there in the AL East.

It was great- and this is coming from a Giants fan

I called this.
I said watch the Yanks scrap through fairly well, just to have the stars come back and it goes to sh*t.
Well, the first part has held up, they've done amazingly well and it's been great to watch a real team and not just a bunch of guys slugging balls around.

Shame that eventually the big names have to come back... : (

I know the quality is poor (looks like someone took it with their home camera), but this might be one of, if not THE, defensive highlight of the year:

Big two-game showdown between the Tigers and Indians starts today.  Cleveland has a 2 1/2 game lead over the Tigers due to their recent hot streak and the Tigers getting whomped by the Rangers this week.

'scuse the ramblings of someone from over the other side of the pond who actually likes baseball.  Now I don't profess to understand all the statistical guff but I do understand and enjoy the game.  On my first trip to the US back in the late '90s I just grew to enjoy the sport watching the playoffs.  My team became and remains the Braves, Chipper Jones was always my favourite player and I know he only retired recently after a great and long career.

The Yankees have always been the team I love to hate, I suppose that's predictable.  However the news that they have now jumped into bed with my least favourite English football team - Man City - and formed a new NASL franchise means I can really dislike the Yankees with passion and fervour .
