6 game winning run in Miami including a 4 game sweep of the Dodgers in LA. Less good news is Dee Gordon getting an 80 game suspension for PED's. Fucks sake.

Stanton just hit an absolute bomb in the stadium where he got his face caved in. Beautiful.

Yeah it's shit I loved watching him play, always had a smile on his face and fast as fuck. Now it's tainted.

Welcome to baseball, where it's best to assume everyone is using

Series lost to Boston, the first time that's happened since September 2013. We've lost 12 of the last 16 and we're now in May, not quite time for panic, but time for concern certainly.

If this is how it is for 2016, I don't know what Girardi and Cashman can do. Neither should be fired in October if we win 70 games; ownerships reluctance to hand high contracts out is to blame for that, and I understand twice bitten etc, but doesn't mean it's not frustrating.

All this payroll saved best be used to making sure they land Harper is all, otherwise they're not using their greatest advantage, their wealth.

Should say that is at Fenway.

Yep, not fun to watch at all.

Some talk on a blog I read, about sending Seveino down. If the first 24 games are a fair reflection of this team, and we're gonna win less than 81 games, keep him up and let him develope and take his lumps this year.

CC Sabathia has his best start in years and then ends up on the 15 day DL.

6 quality starts in a row from our starters. Now if we could consistently start to hit...

Jose Fernandez is so so good. I love watching him pitch.

Strasburg got himself a nice extension, even after TJS. Given how awful the future free agency pitching class is, just makes me more annoyed we didn't make a run for Price or Zimmerman.

No idea who these people are but it came up on me FB. Bloke did well not to go down!

Lots of bad blood left from October then. The last time they play each other this year too, so getting it all out whilst they can.

Proper naughty slide that from Bautista. Great right hook from Odor too.

Would've loved him to to hit a grand slam after that

Finally back to .500!

First time over .500 since we were 4-4 so I will

At Ashton Gate finally watching Bristol rugby win promotion back to the Preimership, and they're playing Sweet Caroline. I'm refusing to sing on principle

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

That's true commitment! If it's a consolation any time that Alicia Keys New York track comes on it's an insta-mute.

This Red Sox team is pretty good at scoring runs.
