Miguel Cabrera is a giant fucking pussy. He showed his true colors this weekend.

Also, the White Sox are fucking terrible.

I thought he showed his true colors when he slapped his wife around and was getting DUIs.


EDIT: Just looked it up and wow did I remember that shit wrong. She's the one that clawed him up (mad at him for being a raging alcoholic apparently) and now he doesn't drink. Good for him.

Was this before or after he got pulled over and asked the cop to hold his bottle of bourbon while he looked for his wallet?

Feels like deja vu. Cleveland and Pittsburgh are both in 1st place before the All-Star break. Still, it's great that the Pirates have the best record in baseball. I hope they finish above .500 and make the playoffs. The same can be said for my beloved Indians :wub:

True or False, Kipnis is the best 2B in the AL?

 

Very true.

 

[NAHSTE]

Over the last 30 days Kipnis has been the best hitter in baseball. Better than Davis, Puig, Trout or Miggy.

Goldschmidt with #20 off Marcum. A bomb.

MOTHERFUCKING BRYCE HARPER IS MOTHERFUCKING BACK

Too bad Werth is hitting in front of him instead of Rendon

 

[Slateman]

Too bad Werth is hitting in front of him instead of Rendon

Davey gonna Davey

Honestly, I think Werth should be hitting cleanup and Zimmerman should be hitting sixth.

Dodgers close to acquiring Carlos MarmoLOL.

The Chicago Cubs are closing in on a trade that would send Carlos Marmol to the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to two sources.
Chicago Cubs


Marmol was designated for assignment on June 25, giving the Cubs a 10-day period to trade him or give him his unconditional release. He has a limited no-trade clause with six teams he could block, including the Dodgers.
It's unknown which player or players the Dodgers would send to Chicago.
Marmol is owed more than $5 million on his $9.8 million for this season, and another source said the Dodgers will absorb some of the money owed. He's ending a three-year, $21 million contract with the Cubs, who are the only team he's played for in the majors.
Marmol can become a free agent after this season.
The 30-year-old Marmol went 2-4 with a 5.86 ERA in 31 relief appearances this season. He has struggled for parts of the past three seasons. He struck out 32 and walked 21 in 27 2/3 innings this season. He had 10 blown saves with a 4.01 ERA in 2011 and has lost his closer role several times.
Marmol has 117 saves over eight seasons with the Cubs. His best season as a closer came in 2010 when he had 38 saves, a 2.55 ERA and 138 strikeouts in 77 2/3 innings.

It's just for cash, so why not? Maybe they can figure something out in his delivery or a tweak, if not, send him on his way.

Dexter Fowler just got placed on 15-day DL so that means this road trip in Colorado just got that much more winnable (Tulo is gone, too). Unfortunately, NL West Destroyer Carlos Gonzalez is in the line-up and playing where he wreaks the most destruction.

Kershaw versus Oswalt: GO!

 

[Slateman]

Nationals going up against the Brewers without Gomez, Segura, Braun, and Hart, against a starting pitcher with an ERA over 5 and Strasburg on the bump. Stras goes 7, doesn't give up a run. Nats down 4-0 in the 8th.
