Or if he was "medically aided" like Arod. Although I dont think Arod is juicing right now. He's being tested too often.

[Angel Oracle]

PayRod still has an impressive OPS for a 40 year-old.

[Dick B Back]

Nice game for Kendrys today. 4-4 with 3 HRs, a triple, 5 runs and 3 RBIs.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Hamilton powers the Rangers to a victory.

Kemp first cycle in Pads history!

Hard to believe that they went that long without one.

[TeemuTrout]

3 home runs and a triple, yet only 3 RBI? Sounds like something Mike Trout would do. 

[Angel Oracle]

Pat Corbin is back and pitching well again after 16 months recovery from TJ surgery.

Past 5 starts for Arizona:  31.1 innings, 25/2 Ks/BBs ratio, 1.44 ERA 

Overall in 14 starts = 75.1 innings, 70/13 Ks/BBs ratio, 1.18 WHIP, 2.99 ERA  

 

Hoping for Skaggs to recover well enough in 2016.   It's now been almost 14 months for Skaggs.

Corbin could be an angel right now.

Probably would be if the FO had a clue back in 2010

[Angel Oracle]

The M's actually have a chance to finish at .500.

And recent studies are showing the benefits of roids last longer than previously thought.

I watched a good part of the Yankees-Blue Jays game tonight. Toronto pitcher Marcus Stroman wore #6. I can't remember the last time I saw a pitcher with a single digit number. The three-run homer by Russell Martin in the bottom of the seventh may have been the final dagger in the Yankees' chances of winning the AL East.

 

Nice to know that good things spread. During the top of the eighth, the Toronto crowd loudly and proudly chanted "Yankees suck!"

Texas keeps rolling along and crushes the A's 10-3. Beltre and Andrus both with 3-run blasts.

 

Hopefully they can continue this against Houston.

[fan_since79]

Joe Blanton won tonight for the Pirates, who clinched a playoff spot.

 

He's 4-0 with a 1.88 ERA.

Ideally they sweep Houston then clinch the divisio while KC clinches best record in baseball all before the Angels arrive in Texas. The Rangers may then be resting some of their best guys and would likely be fairly indifferent to who gets into a second wild card, as the first time the teams could face each other is in the ALCS anyway.

Unbelievable.

I don't usually say this, but I think he's juicing.

Holy ****...

 

How does this even happen?

Former Halo Jeff Juden wore number 7 in the late 1990s in the brief time he was here.

[fan_since79]

Rangers are up 8-1 over the hapless A's.

 

No excuse if we don't sweep Oakland next week at the Big A.

Reading some baseball history lately, I am reminded that back in the day, there were few teams that assigned numbers, and when they began doing it,  they often numbered regular players with their position numbers or batting order numbers.
There are few players with low numbers anymore, because many of those low numbers have been retired.

No way the rangers sweep th stros again: that would mean 7 straight wins against one team. Houston will win at least one of those games; angels will need to dominate against seattle and oakland.

[Homebrewer]

<<<<<<<No excuse if we don't sweep Oakland next week at the Big A.>>>>>

Ouch..just reading that makes my stomach squirm a little.
It's that kind of team that historically, we seem to struggle against.
Lets hope they don't bring up an unknown/obscure kid for his first major league start, or we'll really be screwed.

[Troll Daddy]

Oakland will play us tough ... btw Dodgers pull Kershaw after five inning for a pinch hitter, Kershaw gets in Mattingly's face for everyone to see and bitches him out, pinch hitter proceeds to hit a grand slam and put the Dodgers up 4-3. lol

[fan_since79]

Dodgers are struggling going into the final stretch. They needed the win today to get some momentum back.

[fan_since79]

Blanton wins AGAIN in relief. He's 5-0 since coming to the Pirates.

 

Pittsburgh wins its 10,000th game since joining the NL.

[Hollyw00d]

That's impressive considering they went 20 years without a winning season

[tomsred]

Cleveland is beating Minnesota 6-0 in the sixth inning.
