MLB Daily Thread: 5.20.15 Red Sox didn't suck last night, Yankees did suck and the Mets sucked.

Goods and services!?!?!

Assholes?!?

I'm...so...lonely...This must be what David Letterman will feel like after tonight's show.

HA! I was certain that he went off the air YEARS ago with Leno. I guess I haven't watched "late night TV" since Clinton was in office anyway.

Why am I not shocked that Cotton Ellsbury is on the DL once again?

Mike Napoli the new Mark Reynolds

What's even more odd - run differential is only - 6. Sox are at -32.

Somehow they have the worst run differential in the AL and they are only one game below .500. If they can get their shit together and score, they should be able to make a run.

He is?!? There goes the Yankees' best player. They were enjoying a pretty healthy start, so far, but I was wondering when the likes of Ellsbury, Beltran, Sabathia, Teixeira, Arod, Pineda & Gardner would start to get dinged up. All of those guys love the DL.

The Yankees have the only fanbase I can pick out of a crowd. It's either a guy with greased up hair who is way too loud or a guy in a hip hop outfit who is suspiciously quiet

Rangers on national TV, hosting Boston tonight. No idea who Phil Klein, the TX SP is, but I sure hope we light up Joe Kelly, who despite mostly sucking, has been surprisingly tough on lefties. Still, I can't resist including Choo and Fielder, both of whom have been hawt, on a DraftKings team. Not sure whether it is the homer or the masochist in me.

Mike Napoli the new Mark Reynolds

Is he that good?

Mike Napoli the new Mark Reynolds

is he better than the old Mark Reynolds?

 

[redseat]

I'm just referring to the fact it's boom or bust with them both

Mark Reynolds killed it for me last night. Very instrumental to increasing my DraftKings balance by $30.

I do too, but I'm not at all sure that I am unbiased. Will never forget his 2010 season. No idea if he is still has it in him, but when he was right he absolutely killed it.

Still promising, in my opinion. I doubt that he's lost power. Always thought it was all about timing and plate discipline for him.

Two run blast by Oso Blanco puts 'Stros up 3-1. Get the W Dallas!

Usually when you see sluggers crash and burn in their early 30s (which most do), it's usually the average that suffers the most and is the first to go. So he might be able to hit a good amount of homers, but I'd be very surprised if he's batting .250+.

Yes! Get that win in fewer than 8 runs!
