The 4 1/2 foot wall made it great.....the catch was very good, landing on your upper back probably didn't feel too hot.

I guess the former Buckeye part makes it even greater!

It looks like Miguel Cabrera might be the best shot for me to witness a 2,000th RBI.....but I wouldn't put it past him to have a pretty good year in 2015.

None are appealing.

Still waiting on the A Roid suspension.

Valdespin's had a hilarious season of ineptitude this year.

1. Hits pinch hit home run against Pittsburgh's Jose Contreras (well loved and respected long-time vet at end of career) and showboats afterward in game the Mets were losing by 4 or so runs. Gets hit by pitch afterwards (next game, I think). Flips out on team for not backing him up.

2. Shows inability to hit .200.

3. Gets sent to AAA. Flips out on manager for doing so instead of putting him on DL.

4. Bats nearly .500 at AAA, but then gets suspended 3 games for instigating bench clearing brawl after...wait for it...showboating after hitting home run!

5. And now this. Lulz.

Is it a coincidence that all the players are of Latin descent?

Except Braun of course.

So the Yankees plan on starting A-Roid tonight...and he'll be able to play during the appeal process. Probably a good 20-40 games during that process.

Fuck that

Rangers take the biggest blow with Cruz out of the lineup as the Rangers chase down the Indians for a WC spot.

Tigers depth takes a hit with Peralta out, who has had big games against Cleveland this year. Obviously the Jose I. move has softened the blow.

Of course he is..this is going to cost him close to $35 million and 200 something games. And he's technically never failed a drug test. And he's a bitch, yeah.

I'm going to the Sox/Yanks game tonight...any ideas for a sign?

I turned these down about an hour ago, but with this news coming out today I plan on boo'ing A-Rod the entire game.

211 games for A Roid. Minus the 20 or so he will probably get to play in.

I'm no lawyer, but I'm predicting that ARod wins his appeal and gets suspension reduced to 50 games.

Until MLB and the union to agree to fix CBA loopholes to give them clear authority to suspend based on evidence other than positive tests, there will be grounds for appeal.
