    well, any sliver of hope that may have existed for the HOF just vanished...but hey, he always has Vegas!

    I doubt Rose and Dowd are tight friends.

    Seems unlikely he was running underage girls when he could've gotten most anyone...despite his great ugliness.

    Regardless...I don't care.

    There's very little Rose could be accused of so scummy that I would reject the possibility. Great player, nothing but west-side WT.

    I'd say Cabrera deserves a first ballot election as of right now, I don't think he needs to prove anything else.

    And yes, Pete is/was a scumbag.

    Dodgers get Darvish
    Yanks get sonny gray
  • Ironman92
    Ah hell! Wonder if this is a slap in the face?

    I hope he willingly moves as asked

    This news sucks

    Scherzer doesn't seem concerned. I hope he's right.

    Cody Bellinger with his 30th HR in just 82 games. OPS down to .962 and Dodgers struggling to a 63-19 record since his call up. No clue why he's not in AAA

    Joe West suspended 3 games

    In a very long list of douchy umpires, Joe West is the douchyest. He is beyond terrible.
  • Verbal Kint
    Apparently he was kidding, Beltre is engaging, but he is not Bryce Harper with balls and strikes.
  • justincredible
    Joe West IS awful. But he definitely should not have been suspended for that.

    The Indians trade for Jay Bruce.

    And traded nothing to get him. Apparently, the Mets were more concerned with getting his contract off the books (and having Cleveland pay a large percentage of it) than actually getting anything of value for him.

    Lolmets.

    Giancarlo.

    His last 115 AB.....20 HR
  • Ironman92
    Damnit. Harper down with an ugly slip on first base after a rain delay. Hope it's not major....but it sure might be.

    In other bad news Stanton rumored to Boston? That would suck.
  • Ironman92
    Out indefinitely with bone bruise. About the best case scenario.

    MVP now Goldschmidt's to lose

    The Dodgers are 11 games up on the next best team in MLB. Yeesh.

    Their run differential is pretty ridiculous as well.
  • Laley23
    And they play in a division with Arizona and Colorado.
  • justincredible
    Do they win 117 games?
