Crazy freefall by THAT guy.
Heck, when he went to Boston, I thought they had secured the WS for years to come.

90% of owners are raking in money hand over fist.
Good for Carl for earning that contract earlier in his career.

Not sure any player ever earns their ridiculous guaranteed contract. It is really a stupid system that needs to be fixed. It is why there is little changes amongst the ML franchises. The better run organizations will nearly always be competitive while others, like the Twins, will always fail.

Strange But True alert: The #Phillies went 56 straight games without scoring 4 runs in any inning, the most games in history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Of course they've now done it 2 days in a row.

I'd swear to Allah we've gone longer than that ....

Nice to see Houston did not panic.

Not long ago, the White Sox were dominating, the Royals were sinking, the Tigers were flailing and the Indians were a team that really wasn't getting any attention.
The American League Central might not have the most talent, but as June gets going in earnest, it carries plenty of intrigue. The Tribe is in first place, and every team but the Twins has a record above .500. Only 3 1/2 games separate the fourth-place Tigers from the top spot, yet given recent trends, it's reasonable to wonder if the White Sox will soon be looking up at everyone but Minnesota.

Entering the season, the AL Central was considered to be little more than mediocre, but prognosticators also said it had a chance to be the most evenly spread. Two months in, that theory is proving to be accurate.

This week's MLB Power Rankings show the Indians in the top 10, and climbing.

Biggest jump: The Astros. We don't know exactly how many they went from being unranked to 16th, but for argument's sake, we'll assume that's the biggest improvement. Houston had a dreadful April but has come back to go 21-13 since May 1, and the Astros have won 11 of their past 13 games. They took advantage of a softer part of their schedule to move within two games of .500 after sinking to 11 under after being swept by the Rangers two weeks ago.

Biggest drop: The Mariners (No. 4 to No. 9) and the White Sox (No. 12 to No. 17) each dropped five spots, and it's hard to argue against it given the recent results. Early-June series are not dire situations, but it's notable that the Mariners are now three games back in the AL West after they were swept over the weekend by the Rangers. And the White Sox, after soaring through April, have dropped to third in the AL Central and are barely above .500 at 29-28. That's what a 5-14 stretch will do to a once-surging team.

Just watched the Rays win another, this one in Arizona.
Longoria with a couple more tough plays that he made look routine.
Fun to watch other team's coverage ... its much different than ours.
Much better, imo. More honesty, for sure.

CarGo remains entertaining, anyway ...

Carlos Gomez swung so hard that he stumbled and almost fell down. Then he flipped his bat on a hit that was an out.

EVERY Royals pitcher needs an ass-kicking.
The more I watch that, the dirtier it gets.
Machado was HURTING
99 mph in the ribs. You little prick. Bet Machado woulda pounded him if everyone had stayed out of it.

Plus, he was underpaid all those early years.

Wouldn't mind if Twins pitchers had a little Ventura in them. I tell you what, though. I'm leaning more and more to eliminating the DH and making pitchers hit in the AL. You'd see less of this stupid shit if pitchers had to hit.

Boo'ed off the field in ChiTown.
Lustily.

The Cinderella story there is fading fast.
Surprised to see the Central standings.
Everyones scuffling. Royales have dropped 7 straight.
We are sitting there 14 games back ... should be about 30.
