Bryce Harper. I didn't know much about this kid. But this fool is 17!!!! And this isn't one of those Pakistani age. He is the real deal. He was also the #1 draft pick. I guess some of us already knew that.

And 32 HR with wooden bat!! That's crazyy!!

If he stays with the Nationals..... He'll stagnate. Couple of years platooning with someone (although who I have no idea. Who'd you share it with? Dunn? Zimmerman?) and then a Tigers-sized side should try and pick him up. A team there or thereabouts every year. That way he'll be up there as one of the greats.

You have to feel for Steven Strasburg and the Nationals. Likely needing Tommy John surgery, puts him out until 2012 season.

Just had one of my greatest games on 10.

Phillies @ Marlins, I'm the Phillies.

Sent down in order to start the game, a 5-3 groundout and a 4-3 groundout, followed by a fly to LF.

Hanley comes to the plate, first pitch smashed to left center for a HR, 1-0 down. The #2 hitter reached on a single up the middle, and #3 (Petersen, I think) drove him in with a RBI double. Eventually escaped 2-1 down, before Ryan Howard got on with an E6. Utley then Francisco worked him around the diamond, before Francisco himself scored via the bat of Oswalt the starting pitcher.

Anyway, long story short, we traded runs, before I lost 6-5. Awesome game.

Weird injury yesterday

 

[Manly]

Did you see the Marlins bloke whose name escapes me that got hit by a foul ball from Bonifacio when he was in the on deck circle?

Made a horrible noise off the helmet.

Aroldis Chapman threw a 105mph (168.9kph) pitch today, fastest in MLB history.

I think it would be best if the NY Spankees won the division so that Tampa could play the Twins. This is because the Twins have a very poor record against the Yankees overall, especially in playoffs. Leave the Texas Rangers to play the Yankees (the Rangers swept the Yankees when they last met).

The Rockies are done. The Phillies look good but if they meet the Yankees in the World Series, they damn well better win this time :

Giants in the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Manly]

Halladay just threw a no-hitter in his first postseason game. Great great performance from him.

 

[CaptainOZ]

Only the second no-hitter in postseason history, apparently.

Twins now need to win.
