Even without Price they still have a decent rotation next year.

Cobb, Moore, Archer and Orduzzi and Smyly

 

[Mach85]

Had no idea Gardner was their best hitter this year.

Yeah, Gardner's shown some surprising pop this year.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Liam Hendricks pitching for the Royals tonight. Light him up Sox.

Also because it will jinx him Cobb's got a no hitter going through 7. Hopefully it won't jinx him so bad that he gives up like 5 runs and they lose

 

[Canada4Gold]

and Hendricks is not pitching for the Royals anymore tonight

 

[Canada4Gold]

Just fyi, jinxing a team to lose by mentioning a no hitter. Yeah that's not a thing. I'm am not to blame here

 

[Suntouchable13]

Yunel Escobar helped us tonight. Hopefully he won't burn us on the weekend.

Yeah but McGee did not. Yankees aren't really the issue though.

O ****, I assumed that TB won. Damn! Oh well, they are behind us in the standings now. If we win, we are not concerned with them. Man, NYY have some kinda horseshoe stuck up their ass.

 

[TMLeafer]

Was it a home run to that ridiculous right field again?

 

[p.l.f.]

3.5 games back
Just saying

 

[Gardiner Express]

Re-sign Melky, and keep the platoon of Gose and Pillar in centre.

Inb4 he has adult-onset ADHD...

 

[Nasty Nazem]

MLB is a joke. Really, a 25 game suspension for using Adderall?

Reminds me of Backstrom getting pulled out of the gold medal game for Sweden back in Sochi because he took Claritin.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Just when they are about to play the Yankees no less

Makes more sense than the marijuana usage rules. Amphetamines can be dangerous and do provide an edge over the competition, especially over the course of a long season (legitimate medical uses excepted of course). Marijuana is not an addictive substance on that level and is responsible for less harm than alcohol.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Chris Davis is the joke. He had an exemption for it last year, didn't this year for whatever reason, and still decided to take it, tested positive once, continued to take it and now does it again to get the suspension.

If he just didn't re-apply for the exemption because he didn't know he needed to he's an idiot.

If he did and was denied and still took it he's an idiot

Still taking it after testing positive once, he's an idiot.

You don't have an exemption for it, you know its going to show up when you're tested, why are you still taking it? It makes no sense.

He deserves a 25 game suspension for being an idiot really.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Davis didn't apply for the exemption this year. Yet he continued to take adderall. He has to be an idiot, like who does that?

 

[ChiTownLeafer]

I'm looking to go to a game on sunday. Would you guys recommend i buy tickets online or from scalpers? Tickets are $17 online for the 500 level, would i get it for cheaper if i were to get them from scalpers?

I'd just do it online. At most you'll save 7 bucks. Is it worth it that much and to not know where you're sitting? The only real savings from scalpers are on the $60+ tickets. Hope you have a good time.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

So are we to cheer this weekend for an Orioles (vs. Yankees) and A's (vs. Mariners) sweep, and the Indians taking 2 of 3 from the Tigers?

Some massive series that will have playoff implications.

We pretty much need our own sweeps. Nothing else really matters

As for your question though. Really cheer for the o's the split you suggest with the tigers and a's mariners as long as their no sweep in either direction that's probably best case.
