  1. Wow. Video es.pn/Jlikcb @keithlaw: Article on catch, with an unbelievable photo of Salberg going over fence: bit.ly/JDn8ja
  2. @RotoAnalysis i wasn't worried either. The whole "he's done" narrative was way overplayed
  3. Don't look now, but most HR past 2 weeks? Viciedo (6), Pujols (5). Also 14 RBI over the past 2 weeks. Just behind Giancarlo and Cruz #pujols
  4. RT @jonahkeri: YES RT @ChadMoriyama @jonahkeri Wasn't quite sure what you wanted. This? files.upit.me/1338075639.gif
  5. @Red_Head_Ed @joe_sheehan @billpetti there's no way Baltimore could find someone to hit .278 w/ 22 HR and 70 RBI like his career averages.
  6. @keithlaw @frnkrw Keith, you hate the Orioles so much that you only put 2 of their prospects in your top 3 overall. #meow
  7. I want to help you, but I don't want to give back the money I didn't deserve. What a horrible person es.pn/KCFtpM
  8. Rape is a horrible, horrible thing, but women lying about being raped? How sad. How does she not go to jail? es.pn/KCFtpM
  9. @SidBreamSlide closers matter basically zero. If Braves lost Kimbrel, it'd barely affect them.
  10. Closers don't matter RT @dschoenfield: Since '97, Yankees won 97% of games leading in 9th. Pirates, w/ ~8 different closers, have won 94.5%.
  11. Remember when Wade didn't show up for game 3? Me neither. #ridiculous
  12. RT @adbrandt: Just had a player ask me if Roger Goodell ordered the cuts at the New Orleans Times-Picayune. He was joking...I think.
  13. @AdamLawsonEU sad thing is there are many managers worse than him. People just look at records. It's a sad day we live in.
  14. @AdamLawsonEU just noticed you had someone thinking Fredi was doing a good job. Wtf. He's awful. Last yr too many IP for RPs. Now hes scared
  15. @ajcbraves why no Kimbrel? 20 pitches since 5/15. Fredi needs to resign until he can figure out his best pitchers.
  16. The save rule strikes again. Kimbrel has thrown 20 pitches since 5/15, yet Fredi trots out Cristhian Martinez. @keithlaw @joe_sheehan
  17. Mine as well. RT @undecided I did. “@TJFutureCPA: Watching @ESPN_Numbers. Did undecided just used "If if was a fifth?"”
  18. remember when Alfredo Aceves was 'terrible' and he'd never recover? He's allowed 2ER in his last 16 2/3 IP w/ 18K/5BB
  19. RT @ajcbraves: Exactly. @MoeDLeeIV M. Thatcher said "Being old skool is like being a lady. If you have to tell someone you are, you aren't."
  20. @joe_sheehan 2-3-2 is such a disadvantage for the team with the better record. Likely ends with that team down 2-3 heading home
