MLB Random Thoughts - [9/10 - 9/16]

[Villain]

AJ Burnett is a tool.

Dodgers have 7 players on the 60-day DL. Kershaw missed his last start with hip tightness, and Kemp has been benched since Saturday. The season isn't over yet, I'm not giving up hope yet, but it's getting harder and harder to see this team getting that second wild card. If we got that, I'd be happy. The Division seems all but gone. Not having Billingsley has been a huge loss. I really hope he doesn't need Tommy John surgery.

JAMES JERRY HARDY!!!

Mike Matheny is the absolute worst at his job.

Good to see your still here unlike the other Phillies fans, who must have past away from the wildcard fever. Phillies are looking good, but Coal Hammels is not a true ace. #Shouldofkept Joe Blanton.

An average of 1,089 people watched the Astros/Reds game on FSN Houston on Sunday, with only four quarter hours having enough viewers to produce a measurable rating.

It is believed to be the lowest rated Astros game in team history.

Keep in mind, this was a road game, so the 8-10k fans who usually go to the home games didn't even bother watching.

The last time I saw a sporting event get the "unmeasurable rating" was regular season NHL on Versus a few years back.

Went to the Astros/Cubs game last night. I guess the good thing about having a horrible team is that you can basically sit anywhere. I'm not even sure where our seats were at, but we just moved to the front row because half of it was empty. I enjoyed it, lots of breathing room and empty concession lines.

Robin Ventura is doing his best to get into the conversation. He's starting tinkering, sac bunting and messing with the lineup on a day-to-day basis.

Know how that was with the Orioles for years. Also didn't hurt when you were a kid trying to get autographs from either team.

From what I've heard, he's received nothing but praise for his job. I guess that doesn't seem to be the case?

LOL, c'mon man, you can't possibly rip Ventura this year considering how well the team has played. Be fair. You can't rip a guy who's winning when nobody thought he would. He has to get a pass on minor gripes like lineups.

Mitch Williams just said Ryan Braun was his MVP pick. So confused, maybe Mitch isn't as dumb as we thought.

There is a fajita stand on the first base line in the main concourse, they cook the meat right in front of you fresh, and serve them on a bed of nacho chips. You can load up on salsa, jalapenos, etc at the condiment table, and you end up with an awesome restaurant quality meal of two chicken or steak fajitas and nachos for like $9.

The other place to eat would be Green Fork, located behind home plate. It's a salad stand, they have four different kinds, or create your own. I recommend the Cobb. The thing is huge, and it's only $8. All fresh, very good. I'm telling you, it's big. Best bargain in the stadium.

The sliders stand on the third base line i'm told is very good, but I dont eat burgers. A little pricey at $11, but im told well worth it.

Everything else in the building is overpriced shit.

Who will be the worst rookie manager!? We'll find out at the end of the season!

All ballpark food is overpriced shit. I recommend just having an awesome tailgate before hand. Oh wait, you can only do that at Miller Park.
