Billingsley since returning from DL: 5 games, 1.56 ERA, 26K, 6BB

What is the key to this magic?

I like Santangelo too. One of the best broadcasters around.

Rolen is back.

I obviously hate the Giants, but I like to give credit where it is due. They have great uniforms, a beautiful park, and put out awesome bobbleheads:

Pitching numbers get better, offensive numbers get worse. Nothing new for the Rays.

Lots of fans in Tampa waiting to attend games when they return from their West Coast trip.

Potassium rulz!

Clayton Kershaw now has a better batting average than Juan Uribe.

Welp, back to scoreboard watching the Cardinals. See ya later, RATS.

Rough day for my fantasy team b/t Melky getting suspended then Felix pitching a perfect game and I'm matched up against him. Luckily I have :leake: so I'm still within striking distance.

For how well the Orioles are playing right now doesn't mean shit to me. Call me a shitty fan but i don't see this team making it to the playoffs.

Doesn't matter to me, making it this far right now over the season is better than we've seen since 1997. It's progress no matter how you cut it, and we actually have a GM who is worth what we are paying.

Digging deeper, Kershaw's OPS is also higher.

When we hired Dan Duquette earlier this season i was furious. He was out of baseball for ten years and i thought he'd be a downgrade from Andy McPhail. Thank God i was wrong. Wei Yen and Jason Hammel have been incredible signings/trades.

Even with the extra wild card spot?
