Zimmerman is coming off of the books after this season.I think with his club option not getting picked up, and letting Dozier walk, and they make a deep enough run this season, they can pay Rendon.

And I still say Brett Gardner’s head is proof he’s an alien or at the very least a hybrid

Yep there goes my dream of Rays vs Braves so i can be happy with either. Going to end up being Yankees vs Cardinals just to piss me off.

Jeez, Braves got slaughtered. Time to invest in a bullpen!

Rays & Nats force a game 5. What a world. Yanks on the other hand? Stout as fuck.
