Youk Of The Nation

I can't believe Pittsburgh is only two games out, in second place, this late in the season. Who saw this coming? I mean, I know they're going to crash to Earth eventually, but at this point in the season who didn't expect them to be in a heated battle for sixth with Houston?

Everyone shut up. Now.

This is awful. Less than 100 pitches going into the 8th, drives in a run himself with a hit to the deepest part of the park, and he's getting nothing from the rest of the team.

I am sorry to hear that.

For me, there is no dilemma concerning Jersey. Wide-scale carpetbombing. It's the only thing to do.

According to ESPN, the Topeka Bluehairs of the Midwestern Retirement Community Interleague Circuit have expressed an interest in Mike Cameron. An anonymous source in the MRC-IC executive office stated that the Red Sox may acquire Benjamin "Butch" Harcourt, a left-handed starter with a devastating 30MPH curveball that some scouts have nicknamed "Piece of hard candy", in addition to speedy outfielder Agnes Frimple, who lead the MRC league in stolen bases each of the last four seasons, until a shower accident confined her to an electric wheelchair. She is currently being trained by staff in the catcher's position. With the addition of Cameron to their roster, the Bluehairs may finally be ready to make a push for the league pennant, especially when you consider the rumors that Roger Clemens' family is ready to committ him to a 'home', as soon as he approves the action based on the team's chance to make a run at the playoffs. Further sources indicate that Cameron is excited about the possible deal, as it would "mesh nicely with his 8PM bedtime".

Fryer out loud, you can't get this guy out?

Mainly because he's just being a stupid Cleveland fan. He doesn't attack people or constantly berate/insult everyone. He's just annoying. And we have temp-banned him for various lengths of time for that reason. Eventually, I'm sure, one of his bans will be permanent.

suns, I don't know how many different ways the moderation team on this site can tell you to shut the hell up and stop being an obnoxious troll before you get yourself banned, so...shut the hell up and stop being an obnoxious troll, before you get yourself banned.

The most frustrating thing is that I can almost guarantee they're going to score a bunch of runs on the Phillies and take at least two of three. It's the s*** teams they've been struggling against since the beginning of 2010. It's weird.

It's like the word "banana". I never know when to stop typing Hanrahanhanhrah....anyways, he's due for a blown save.

I think he meant in the US specifically. Which is true, the amount of soccer fans here, percentage-wise, is nowhere near what it is in other countries.

The US team should have just hired some illegal immigrants to play for their team.

Scutaro is taking an average of negative six pitches per at-bat this series.

Congratulations to Jeff Karstens on his first f***ing career RBI.

f***ing f***.

Adrian Gonzalez is quite good at baseball.

Useless.

Saltalamacchia is really starting to play solidly.

70 RBI for Gonzalez. That's just stupidly awesome.

I resent that! I haven't acted like a five-year old in weeks.

Darnell McDonald is the answer, assuming the question is "which player on the Red Sox roster is most deserving of being sacrificed by fire to an ancient and furious god?".
