I'm still not entirely sure who got the better end of the Montero/Pineda trade between the M's and Yanks.

Guy has been spotted twice before with pine tar on him. Got away with it both times... Until today. No cure for stupid.

And the last time it was noticed was like a week ago. Maybe lay low for a few outings? Jesus.

For the moment clearly the Yankees. Guy is at least up in the Majors. Last I heard of Montero he was struggling mightily in the minors.

Haha, Pineda don't give a fuck. He'll be back in a few days soaked in that shit.

1987 · Apr 24, 2014

Pineda is actually a white dude. Just pine tarred the fuck outta himself.

Any other Rangers fans here surprised at how well the team is playing right now? Buncha no-names pulling through and getting it done.

Alex · Apr 24, 2014

Back to .500! After starting out 3-8, I consider it pretty impressive to be 11-11. Moving Votto to #2 is something we should have done long ago with how many walks he draws. We're 8-4 since the change and we've scored less than four runs only twice in that span.

Brewers-Rangers world series calling it now.

I too believe that every Brewers starter has improved their ERA by more than 1.2 in the offseason. All five are certainly going to keep that up through the season.

Definitely. Come September they will be right up there with Aaron Harang.

And MLB has scrapped the new transfer rule. Thank goodness, that shit was so stupid I can't believe it went live.

Kirun · Apr 25, 2014

Yeah, it was horrible. Glad to see it gone.

Alex · Apr 25, 2014

The Reds highest paid starter is also their worst. Fuck Homer Bailey and his shitty contract. I hated the contract when it was announced and he's proving me right so far.

supertouch_sl · Apr 25, 2014

I didn't really understand why my Blue Jay friend complained about JP Arencibia so much, but holy fuck I understand now. Dude is seriously one of my least favorite Rangers of all time.

Kirun · Apr 26, 2014

Hudson has been pitching beautifully. I'm really liking that deal, especially since Lincecum and Vogelsong are pitching like garbage.

Profundis · Apr 26, 2014

Goddamn, Houston is a special brand of terrible. The way this team is going, they may reach 120 losses this year. No pitching, no offense, atrocious fielding, manager starting fights with other players...

At the very least, it will be kind of like watching a car crash in super slow motion that half of the city can't see because of their dumbass television contract.

When I saw Oakland was up 4-0 I was thinking to myself, "It's another Astros game!" only find that they tied it all up and it looked pretty competitive going into the 9th (four hour game!). Then Houston went all Houston and gave up 7 runs in a very impressive display of terrible, terrible fielding.

The astros truly have to be one of the worst teams in a while. Sure some teams have some god awful years (detroit), but few teams consistantly preform on such an intensely mediocre level with long term reliability.

I think they're trying to one up the pirates.

They will have to have a losing record this year and every year until I think 2029 for that to happen.

Folks really can't seem to grasp just how LONG the Pirates were bad.

the decisions that the astros have made have set them up to fail for the next 7-8 years most likely. Yea, it's a long way to go, but they certainly are making their best effort.
