"S.F. Giants cancel their 2018 season. The Giants simply do not have enough players to fill a roster and can't afford to get anyone else due to the UTTERLY ridiculous salaries they have paid those on the DL."

Er, might as well be. It's insane.

Sounds like the Mets last year.

Just stop kickin' our butts...

Who'da thunk it - NL east standings:

Braves
Mets
Phillies
Nationals
Marlins

I like it beary, beary much!

(Get back to me on the 4th of
August.)

Angels and Astros in first, with the Mariners a half game back. Angles coming into town. This is the most excitement about baseball in Seattle since the goat kicked over a lantern and caught a foul ball at the same time.

AANNNDDDD

the Mets return to reality.

 

[toowrongfoo]

Man, in the NL, many many teams are at least "good" with only the Marlins, Reds and Pads in suck mode.

@gIANTS: wth is this lighting it up thing??????? 9,9, and 10 (at least) in last 3 games, one of those at ATT?

Strange times. I thought everyone was on the DL?

Part of the fun of baseball - long season, things change.

Keep thinking like that, my friend.

Keep thinking like that, my friend.

Right now, I can only hope.

 

[toowrongfoo]

Seems to be all or nothing with them this year. A million runs or none.

Headline:

‘Cutch has 1491 career hits...
about half of them in Atlanta this weekend.

THIS is why I didn’t break out the broom on Thursday morn.

This damn game will Humble ya.

 

[toowrongfoo]

A close game, kinda. Dingdongs kept Strickland in too long and damn near gave up the game.

Is that the first broom this year? Can't remember. I'm surprised. But in this game they kept leaving runners on which is their problem.

 

[buldog5151bass]

At one point I was really enjoying this season.

 

[the harp unstrung]

But in this game they kept leaving runners on which is their problem.

Which team?!
My Braves left the tying runner in scoring position to end the game...

damnitdamnitdamnit...

 

[toowrongfoo]

I won't say then.

And Matt Harvey begins his career as a washed up journeyman playing for the worst teams in the league. Most of these guys never make it back to even close to previous performance levels after 2 surgeries including TJ. I don't know why anyone would trade for him. It' like a free paycheck based on what you used to be able to do. I don't know why GMs just can' stay away from high risk aquisitions that don't often work out.

 

[buldog5151bass]

It was a salary dump for the Reds, I think. Mesoraco is making $13,000,000. Harvey is $5,000,000. Not bad move for the Mets.

 

[the harp unstrung]

“that don’t often work out”...

There ya have it!

Why do GMs recycle managers the way they do?
They’re hoping to capture lightning in their bottle!

Veteran pitchers with a pedigree don’t hit the market every other Tuesday.
The Reds took a shot...that’s all.
As desperately as they suck, Matt Harvey just Might suck a little bit less?

No it wasnt. They picked up the majority of his salary. It was even from a financial standpoint.

Wow. I read it was a straight up deal. No matter what, that's a winner for NY.
