ESPN still has the Nationals at #1 in their Power Rankings :harper:

Nothing like a little home cooking at Miller Park South to get the Brewers back on track with a win!

Good to see Braun's neck magically healed 12 hours after he let Kyle Lohse do what he could not. Deer extract?

Maybe he stopped using a rolled up towel as a pillow?

Edit: In case non Brewer fans don't get the joke.

 

Back when Jeff Suppan was on the team, he had to go on the DL for a neck injury at one point. Suppan said the injury was caused by him using a rolled up towel as a pillow, and when he woke up he had a stiff neck and couldn't pitch. Needless to say it didn't improve Suppan's popularity in Milwaukee.

Braun is a cocksucker for pulling that weak shit.

 

[Primetime]

What am I missing here?

 

[KnightNoles]

BP doubles!

A gif to show the Reds' top of the 9th:

Oh well, it's April.

John Buck on FIYA, blasted a three run jack off Halladay.

 

[NAHSTE]

So is it still too early to write off the Phillies, or ... give it more time?

:doc:

These are the players that Youk, a Mets fan, decided to draft instead of Matt Harvey, in a keeper league!
Dan Haren
Mariano Rivera
Mike Fiers
Mark Trumbo
Mike Minor

Can not thank you guys enough for letting him drop to me, and my first pick. :smug:

Back to back 30 point games to start the season. :whoner:

Put this in the fantasy thread not here.

Tejada putting the dagger in the Phil's earlier = sweeet

Put this in the report post comment, not here.

Only Dwight & Pedro have struck out more batters than Harvey through their first 12 starts with the Mets.

Umpire Marty Foster just made one of the worst calls I have ever seen to end a game. Even Joe Nathan was shocked. He thought he walked Zobrist and was floored Foster called it a strike. The pitch was low, outside and nearly fucking bounced. Not saying we would've won the game, but, Marty Foster took the bat out of Even Longoria's hands in a one-run game with two men on due to that call. When you guys see the replay...you won't fucking believe it. Not even close. Rays post-game show keeps showing it and is trying to make sense and even they are getting tongue-tied trying to explain what the hell he thought he saw.
