I remember looking up his stats a few days ago, just out of curiosity and was surprised just how bad his numbers look. Of course his first appearance of the season against the M's didn't help.

Chase Anderson (??????) is 6 outs away from a no-hitter against the Cubbies.

As nuts as it sounds, MLB needs more of that, not necessarily punches but emotion. Our country is all ADD now and baseball has slipped into a regional sport. So it's nice that that brawl beat out the NBA conference finals for the headlines. How long has it been that just some random May game has been talked about by all of the country not just Texas and the Canadian's.

yeah I agree. It is the passion and emotion.

Odor and Bautista are both scum.

I do like seeing some competitive fire, though.

Ichiro now hitting .407 after going 3-for-4 tonight. The man is a freak of nature. #marlins

Watch out for the Angels.

They've had a significantly tougher schedule than we have so far, and trout has really heated up lately.

I hope I'm wrong, of course.

I hope you are wrong as well, but I don't think you are.

He's seeing a lot of fat pitches right now. Pitches that Nelson Cruz would jack 480 feet with a 115 mph exit velocity.

A true classic. You never heard Vin Scully say this...at least not on TV.

The Royals just score 7 runs in the 9th to beat the White Sox.

PED suspension of Marlon Byrd -- not announced by MLB yet -- would mean CLE has lost two OFers this season in this way. (Abraham Almonte).

This might be a career ender. He is at 38 years old.
