Baseball Logic 101, First Principle:



Josh VanMeter is to Derek Shelton as Abraham Nunez is to Lloyd McLendon.

Though it's a nice gesture, I'm tired of seeing players who are sure to be traded serenaded with applause, especially top notch players.



Cubs fans should be furious, with the money that franchise has and to let all those guys go is insane. Nothing to cheer about IMHO

Reynolds strikes out looking with a man on second after being up 3-0 in the count.



The Pirates have been a tough watch so far in the second half.
