Throw your money at never.  They're done.

I think they make the playoffs but it will be because SD continues to collapse, rather than any impressive run they go on.

Is getting fat a requisite when you play for the Cards?

It happens when you take anabolic steroids and then age.

Brewers' attendance drop one of the steepest in MLB. Blame goes to group sales and Cubs fans.

TLR put in Adam Engel as a defensive replacement ... and Engel responded by dropping Kyle Stowers' 9th-inning foul ball for the White Sox's third error of the night. A couple of pitches later -- with the O's down to their final strike -- Stowers homered off Liam Hendriks to tie it, and Baltimore won it in the 11th.

I don't know anything about Adam Engel, so I'm not saying LaRussa blew the game or anything. But sometimes there are seasons in which just about everything a manager does goes right ... and then there is the kind of season LaRussa is having in 2022.

I don't wanna say Sox fans have lost the faith, but you can go on Vivid Seats right now and buy a ticket to the Sept. 22 game against Cleveland for $2, and a ticket in the second level behind the plate for $16.

When am I going to wear that jersey tee now??

Also I mentioned earlier in the thread that the Brewers had won the Hader trade so far, but lordy lordy.  Rogers has settled in after some turbulence early, as of tomorrow (had a blowup on 6/14) will have given up 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 unearned run against 8 strikeouts in 6.1 IP in 6 appearances.  Hader over the same stretch has had four appearances good for only 2 IP, with 4 SOs against 10 hits, 4 walks, and 9 earned.

He's either hurt or there's issues at home

[Dickthedribbler]

Josh Hader got lit up today in Kansas City like a freaking fireworks show. Brought in to start the 8th with the Padres trailing 9-6. Gave up 5 hits, 2 walks and 6 earned runs, all while retiring one batter. Padres lose 15-7.

You're right.Something seriously wrong somewhere.

I kinda thought he might have been tipping his pitches, but now it seems like that's morphed into a full blown case of the yips.

Wouldn't happen if Yadier Molina was his catcher

His ERA since the Mar a Lago raid is over 15.

Maybe abandoning his team in the middle of a pennant race actually WAS good for his team.

Clearly the case.  At least he can buy a ticket to get into Cooperstown

He may only have 12 RBI this year, but they were the greatest RBIs. People say every one was HoF worthy.

Went out to dinner in Columbia the other day and two guys at a table next to us were talking about where Pujols is in all time home runs and they were talking about how Barry Bonds doesn't count because he used steroids. Lol. The same fanbase that is bowing at Albert Pujols's feet and has a section named after Mark McGuire in their stadium...
