The current standings are:

Astros - Gurriel(3).....................................................................3

Marlins - Marte(3)......................................................................3

Yankees - Britton(3)...................................................................3

Nationals - Harrison(1)...............................................................1

Mariners - Graveman(1).............................................................1

Meantime, Cherington stands there like a freight train passing a bum.

Britton- 3

By the way, those freight trains that pass bums are moving. Cherington's iike the bum who's waiting for some train to come, pick him up, and put him inside- in the luxury suite.

Oh, that was a good one, Bobster!

I wouldn't care if Ryan Braun were to hit 60 HRs and play errorless defense next season, I wouldn't want that cheating bit of scum to ever wear a Pirates uniform. For me, he's the most-detestable player in baseball.
I agree, and it doesn't have to do with the steroids. It has everything to do with trying to ruin an innocent man to cover it up. I would stop being a Pirates fan if they signed him.

Exactly. It was the stunt he pulled that ruined that guy that really showed his true character. And a rotten character it is.

Doc feels the same way about the Brewers that I feel about the Eagles. If somehow Braun would end up in a Pirate uniform (he won't) It could be in the end of doc

Thx.
I didn't know you had imposed rules on the board.

Good article in today's PG regarding Archer> others are mentioned as well. Main premise is the lack of gate revenue has hurt many teams. ( not the bucs however, they are used to it)

With the scores for Britton at 3 -3 -3.5, the average comes out to 3.

Tampa Bay, sentimental favorite for winning the AL pennant, didn't waste any time proving that between the two Florida franchises, they are the "Lite" version. Looks like they're blowing it up.

Rays decline options on Zunino (4.5 million) and Charlie Morton (15 million). With the addition of placing back up catcher Michael Perez on waivers, who was snatched up by the Pirates before the ink was even dry, Blake Snell must still be in a state of "WTF?" since the early hook in game 6.
