Choked up watching Koufax help Willie Mays walk out, Hammer coming out with his walking stick, Johnny Bench too.

Wow. Legends. You should have seen Koufax. He was amazing.

First pitch - Koufax to Bench.

BTW, these caps are horrible. They look like rejects from a 1978 hatrack. And not in a good way.

Some good pitchin' tonight.

Never watch the ASG, but now sad that I missed this

Uh, yeah. I saw that. Amazing stuff. (punches wall)

You Blues kindly note the name of the Red-clad shortstop, playing for the Reds, nabbing the throw while crossing second...

Always had good hands. That Gold Glove was no fluke

Royals get Zobrist.

FFS.

Tulo going to Toronto, but they have to take LaTroy Hawkins as well. Must be part of his new pension deal, I guess... Hope the shock will help the Cubs get over on Colorado tonight.

It'll be a busy few days. Did Hamels say "pay me" last week or what? Royals getting serious going for Zobrist - @johnnydawg68 is ready for another shot this year, I bet. It's about winning short series, and you need guys who can play anywhere and drive in runs off the bench. If we were serious about making a run, I bet he'd be headed to the Northside. Good pickup.

Still at least a year away on the Northside, I think. Watch the Pirates. They're good. Giants just refuse to lose since the break.

Hahah. Friend of mine told me about that trade. My response: "So what did anybody gain there? One injury-prone SS for another?"

Hey! Prince! Hi Prince.

Glad to see Gallardo is doing better again down there with you guys @SerenityNigh. Kinda sad to think at one point he was compared to Clayton Kershaw as one of the NL's upcoming mega aces when he was up here in the frozen North. The change in approach seems to be working well for him. He was never good at locating his sinker when he was in Milwaukee.

The Nats should really win the division by at least 12 games but there is something wrong there (beyond the thin bench and pen). Perhaps distractions with the Desmond and J. Zimmerman contracts

I'm hoping we take full advantage.

We've somehow, despite our offensive struggles, managed to keep pace and held our own. Our starting pitching is as a whole, the best in the league in my opinion, just everywhere else lets us down :lol:

Clippard, Uribe and Johnson should steady the ship, and i'm sure we'll get an outfielder before the Deadliner, just not someone like Upton, Alderson is too shrewd to do it, even if its a good or bad move.

If the Nats keep struggling, and we keep saying they'll get better, but will they? Then we've got a chance. By all means, i'm sure the Cards and Dodgers would be rubbing their hands at the prospect of facing us mind!
