I am well aware that I was taking the bait, but when something is the unvarnished truth, I refuse to live in denial.But henceforth, let this be my standing response...phuk you, GH.That is all.
O's streak at 3 wins!I won't touch the Astros except to point out they have 2 guys on the roster currently batting .240 or better.
I'll just be happy if we split in Philly this week.You ever been to a game at Camden? Is it easy to get there from College Park?
Phillies fan tasered at Monday gamePHILADELPHIA — A police officer used a Taser gun to apprehend a fan who ran onto the field during the Cardinals-Phillies game Monday night, and the home team and the police are investigating whether it was an appropriate use of force.The fan, wearing a baseball cap, red Phillies National League Champions T-shirt and khaki shorts, hopped a fence and scurried around the outfield, eluding two security officers as the eighth inning was starting against the Cardinals.One officer used a Taser and the fan went down in a heap. Several Phillies placed gloves over their faces and appeared to be stifling laughter at the wild scene.A Phillies spokeswoman said the police department is investigating the matter and discussing with the team whether using the stun gun was appropriate.Police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore told The Philadelphia Inquirer police internal affairs will open an investigation to determine if the firing "was proper use of the equipment."Vanore was not made available to The Associated Press when a call was placed to the police department's public affairs office late Monday night.The teams said it's the first time a Taser has been used by police to apprehend a spectator who ran onto the field.The fan was 17-year-old male, and he will be charged with criminal trespass and related offenses, the team said.The Phillies did not release his name because he is a juvenile.
This picture is awesome.
Chris Snyder(notes) hit a long three-run homer and Chris Young had three hits and drove in three runs for the Diamondbacks, who snapped a three-game skid and sent Houston to its seventh straight defeat.

A buddy of mine in Houston just sent me a text message saying on the radio there, someone said maybe the Astros can pay tribute to the 1994 team, and end the season in July.
I got an email with the Cinco De Mayo offer at Minutemaid: five bucks for an outfield seat.The seats are cheaper than the beer now.Drayton's getting desperate.
I'm still drinking Tropicana orange juice... So, everyone who was yelling WORLD SERIES! like a moron during the winning stream... SUCK IT!The Astros suck this year.They suck at the plate.They suck on the mound.They suck in the field.They suck in the bullpen.They suck on the bench.They suck in the locker room.They suck in the front office.They suck at the ticket booth.They suck in the owner's box.They suck in the gift shop.They suck at the concession stands.They suck in my email box, spamming me with desperate cheap package deals.If you come up with any X, Y, and Z coordinate in space, they suck there too.Any analysis that suggests otherwise is flawed, any opinion that is contrary to that fact is retarded, and any data you point to that leads to any other conclusion is useless.They are in the cellar of the National League, and eventually they will out-suck Baltimore to win the Race To The Basement.
Cake Typo Gives Bobby "Cocks" An Excellent Post-Baseball Porn NameThe Senate invited the Braves manager to Capitol Hill to celebrate his upcoming retirement, complete with a misspelled cake that read "Thanks For 50 Great Years Bobby Cocks."
29. Baltimore Orioles: By no means has the season gone the way the Orioles had planned, but at least they've gotten some revenge. After going 2-16, 6-12, 6-12 and 3-15 against Boston the past four years, Baltimore swept the Red Sox this past weekend. Of course, the O's were then promptly swept by the Yankees, restoring the world to its natural order. 30. Houston AstrosStreakiness, thy name is Astro. Houston started the year on an eight-game losing streak, then won eight of its next 10 and then lost eight in a row again. Left fielder Carlos Lee finally hit his first home run of the season Wednesday night, in his 26th game, and is batting just an even .200, not to mention that he's one of the only five outfielders rated worse defensively than the aforementioned Fukudome, as noted above.
Of course, the O's were then promptly swept by the Yankees, restoring the world to its natural order.
The Pirates? The fucking Pirates? We can't hit the fucking Pirates? Fuck you, Mark McGwire.
