We really needed to sweep Colorado but at least we got 2/3. Hopefully they can turn around help us out and beat the Mets.
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

I wish that the Cardinals could've traded for Cespedes rather than Brandon Moss :banghead:

Why was Cespedes bounced around so much? I think it was pretty obvious he was going to be a stud.

Giants are lucky to be playing in a division with three AAA teams and the biggest chokers in MLB.

Sadly, I missed the game last night. Tuned in just in time tonight to see Valbuena go deep against Greinke though!

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Yeah Trout is still the best player in baseball, but after this drubbing of the Angels you have to give it to Donaldson.

As a CP3 fan (2008) and Kershaw fan (2012), I hate when narratives carry a player to an award.

So I was prepared to haggle with Donaldson as MVP.
But I just saw that he scooted ahead of Mike Trout in fWAR this week.

no haggle here.

I'm glad that the Dodgers felt that their bullpen was strong enough and didn't need upgrading through trade
