    Red Sox really put themselves behind the 8 ball with the weak start to this season. What was the stat? No team that started that poorly has ever made the playoffs? Red Sox might at least do that, thanks to the wild card but they're still 6 games out of that right now with ~30 to play.

    Bummer that Angels aren't going to make the playoffs again, would like to see more Mike Trout.

    Yup, another crappy year for the halos. Fortunately, I do get to see Trout on local TV, but the games are unwatchable. Better pitching in A ball. I will be out at the Big A on Friday to see your Red Sox. When I bought the tickets a month ago, Angels had a chance of making playoffs.

    Yeah I am surprised the Red Sox might not even make the Playoffs this year, I don’t watch baseball that much until the postseason but I am guess pitching is their problems rather than the bats :eek:

    In July, Nevada casinos' sports books made $7.8 billion on baseball.

    World series off to a good start. Astros took a 2-0 lead in the first, Nats came back and took the lead 5-2, then held off an astros rally in the 7-8th innings to win 5-4.

    Nats gonna win one without Bryce Harper? It would be quite funny.

    Not totally MLB, but Taiwanese equivalent with a former MLBer.
    Totally worth seeing.
    Outfielder's equivalent of a batflip, you let the guy run around the bases when he's out.
    Everyone will start doing this with runners on base.
