Nats must have heard us ... inching back in. Yanks still rolling Blue Jays on top of Bosox again, see if they can hold it tonight KC on a roll again

Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka will be placed on the disabled list and miss at least a month with right wrist tendinitis and a mildly strained forearm.

MadBum out pitches everybody's boy Kershaw once again. Love guys who rise to big occasions MadBums the poster boy for that. Madison Bumgartner, San Francisco ACE

SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (4/29/2015 9:37:30 AM)
Yep, what we call an ace isn't exactly the definition. We've had a couple but it's been a longgggg time. So nice to have a guy you know will almost always take you to the ninth with a lead.

So nice to have a guy you know will almost always take you to the ninth with a lead. Pelfrey getting into later innings is a good deal for the bullpen. Hughes can get there too, after that? not so much. A shaky pen getting over-worked already. Graham has stuff,but seems to be not ready for the bigs. Stauffer? no thanks. Boyer? Throws hard but no thanks Fien's mph is going to catch up to him at times. Has a good mentality, but really, is he the 8th inning guy? guess he has to be.

You've been quiet on my boy Thompson Ed What'd ya think so far?

SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (4/29/2015 9:46:54 AM)
If we're gonna play with no fans in Baltimore today, why aren't they playing two? They've got two to make up.

Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (4/29/2015 9:52:03 AM)
When Duensing does come off the DL and it's been pretty quiet there, someone else needs to go. Thompson has earned a job.

SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (4/29/2015 9:54:48 AM)
Yep Cautiously optimistic here too. So far pretty good

SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (4/30/2015 4:26:36 PM)
Remember when everyone was laughing at the Astros? Seemed not too long ago. They have become very good, very quickly. It can be done.

SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (4/30/2015 4:28:31 PM)
Wonder if Bert and Ernie ever feel a twinge of "hey, what the ...." These teams they loved to laugh at, wow.

twinsfan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (4/30/2015 4:50:50 PM)
Wore one of my Astros shirts to the A's vs Astros game. Before the game I bought an A's hat, but decided it would be super lame to wear it at the game with my Astros shirt. Sat by a couple loud A's fans that didn't say anything to me. After the Astros won, I put on and zipped up my Twins jacket for the walk out to the parking lot. That was safe, I'm almost sorry to say.

SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (5/2/2015 2:14:44 PM)
Atta boy ARod. Classy Red Sox fans, classy.

SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (5/3/2015 8:34:21 PM)
Yanks on a nice little run as well. We've seen the Hanley Ramirez Circus before. I think we called it The Manny Ramirez Circus however. [&o]
