MLB Daily Thread: 7.13: Day 1 of our long National nightmare

[Used 2 B Hu]

Thass rite, 4 straight days in the middle of summer with no legit baseball. Dafuq was NASA thinking? Oh, right, they're not NASA, they're Major League Baseball...

Well, we can at least talk about some first half season highlights...or in @HammerDown 's or @Rock Strongo 's case, the lowlights.

Are the Astros remembering they're the LAstros?

Did Pittsburgh just send notice to St, Louis to keep first place warm for them?

Can the Yanks and Nats continue leading crappy divisions with teams held together with baling twine and hubba bubba?

And who is making a good case for MVP, ROY, MOY, Cy Young?

How are your early-season predictions holding up?

Is this too many questions?

Do you believe the children are our future?

At least we'll get some "close-up" pics of Pluto tomorrow from the Horizons spacecraft. That should be edu-taining.

Slight correction: YOU are ruining Hu's summer with your non-calling me and schtuff. Why won't you call???

15-22 over their last 37 games.

I do, but I believe we should keep them malnourished so they've got that, you know, hunger or whatever.

Interesting theory...I'm reminded of Detective John Kimbel's speech to his class in "Kindergarten Cop":

"You are soft! You lack discipline! Your mummies and daddies are no longer here to wipe your little tushies!"

That's pretty much what I'm going to do. Got my complete collection of Masterpiece Theatre ready, followed by Jeeves and Wooster and then Upstairs, Downstairs.

meh....no worries....I haven't a problem deciphering/understanding britspeak.

 

[HammerDown]

I've looked at the schedule and I'm willing to bet my very life that the Padres won't lose again until at least Friday.

"Padres still all-in on AJ Preller."

What a joke.

Did Pittsburgh just send notice to St, Louis to keep first place warm for them?

Cardinals only have 3 games left against the AL. .500 team against the AL but 23 games above .500 against the NL.

Cardinals are also much better than the Pirates on run differential.

Pirates can certainly catch them but I still think the Cards are a slight favorite to win the division.

 

[tabascojet]

So first time no Yankee or red Sox all star starters since 1930?? Is that right....
