Those pesky ass Fish would be 12-4 at home if they hold on, which they wont, because you're the Braves. With Mets and Fish off to hot starts, NL East way more tough than we thought a month ago.

Protestors outside Nike for No Wahoo

Nike statement on Chief Wahoo notes Major League Baseball contract | OregonLive.com

looking at some of those picket holders, i'd guess none of them really know wtf isgoing on and just doing this because it's the "cool" thing to do. Bet none of them have ever even seen a Cleveland baseball game.

They should make the mascot look like Jobu.

 

[HammerDown]

99% of protesters need to go home, take a fucking shower and brushed their damn teeth. Don't get in my face telling me about your little issue when you look like a homeless vagrant. Of all the fucking nerve.

I didn't realize the Pirates were so bad

Nor did you realize it was May 5.

 

[bksballer89]

Can't win a pennant in May but you sure can lose one. When you're tied for last w/the Cubs and 9 games out of 1st place, it is a bad situation

Talk about living the good life. The Braves lose 7 in a row but are still in 1st place

Martin Perez with Partially torn UCL; Harrison with More Back Issues

From MLBTR:



Martin Perez, Matt Harrison Have Significant Injuries

By Jeff Todd [May 14, 2014 at 6:02pm CDT]
Two key Rangers starters — lefties Martin Perez and Matt Harrison — have significant injuries that could result in long DL stints, reports Anthony Andro of FOX Sports Southwest ([ame="[MEDIA=twitter]466712480887345155[/MEDIA]"]Twitter[/ame] [ame="[MEDIA=twitter]466712747733168128[/MEDIA]"]links[/ame]). Both hurlers are inked to long-term extensions.
Perez, 23, has a partial UCL tear in his left elbow. While he is weighing the possibility of resting and pitching through the injury, a Tommy John procedure is on the table.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old Harrison has another serious back issue (called spondylolisthesis) that could require a form of spinal fusion surgery. He, too, could potentially try to throw without surgery. The procedure could potentially be career-threatening, according to a [ame="[MEDIA=twitter]466713362642923520[/MEDIA]"]tweet[/ame] from Jeff Wilson of the Forth Worth Star-Telegram.

Bend it like Beckett: Curve fuels Dodger pitcher's resurgence - The Orange County Register

The best thing to happen to Josh Beckett in a long time was Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis tearing the meniscus in his left knee last month.

So says the 34-year-old right-hander, because with the downtime Ellis had after surgery, he put together a packet of information to show the struggling Beckett what he was doing wrong.

Beckett wants a perfect game now, not just a mere no-hitter.
