Yusel Puig is having to go thro' the "Fans Ballot" to gain his deserved place in the game

It'll be travishamockery if Puig doesn't make the team

Remember Anna Benson, the hot wife of pitcher Kris ? The one who threatened to sleep with all his teammates if he ever cheated on her ?

Well............., don't mess with Anna Benson

She sounds a bit radio rentals to me, mad chicken woman of the highest order!

Does she go by the name Julie on Twitter?

The damn Yankess win 8-1, it all happened in the 5th & 6th innings with what I believe the colonials call a grand slam with the bases as they say loaded.  I'm off downtown for a few beers, night night.

Meanwhile, how 'bout them Pittsburgh Pirates. Half way thro' the season and they have the best record in baseball

http://espn.go.com/mlb/standings

Apart from Detroit, I doubt that many people would have predicted the current divisional leaders

Not even the locals think it will last, however, to miss the playoffs now would take a monumental collapse.

Having a soft spot for the Pittsburgh Steelers, when they were really shit.. Mark Malone as QB, a couple of years back after seeing a couple of baseball games live in the US I started having a watch of baseball and picked the Pirates when they were awful too about 3/4 years ago. I've just discovered I have ESPN America on Virgin TV.... so I now get to watch some live. I like it! Although it will never be as good as cricket for me!

The suspensions have started

Ryan Braun banned for the rest of the season. Looks like he took a plea-bargain.

Who is next on the list? A-Rod or a-Fraud as they call him on the Evil Empire forums, There is also a strong rumour that they want Soriano from the Cubs, please let this happen.
