They still have Matt Capps. You're doomed.
They're now 7 games back, so the move was backwards.

Hey, I got to see them in the World Series not all that long ago.
but I had to sell beer, because I could not afford a ticket.

Let's go Yankees!
Though I have to give respect to Boston, winning 9 of their last 10 games, and the Rangers are on an absolute tear with 11 straight.
You have to give respect for Boston after they engineered one of the greatest reversals within a single season. Hell, within a single half season.
The Giants are holding strong at 3.5 ahead of the surprising D-backs. This is despite the devastating injuries to their most productive members of their lineup throughout the season. They're scrappy.

Every time I see D-Backs or some variation thereof, my mind changes it to "D-Bags". I really don't have anything against Arizona, I just can't stop it
We are watching the weirdest merry-go-round on the top of the NL Central standings ever seen since they formed the division in 1994.
Last team to lose might end up being the division champ at this rate.
EDIT: Oh, great: Cardinals have the Cubs and 'Stros the last week of the season, while we have the Fish and the Pi-rates. And the Pirates face the Reds before they come our way.
It really, really would not surprise me if the Cards blow by both us and the Bucs to take the division title.

Looks like The Giants are getting Carlos Beltran. Man, I hope he'll help our offense finally back up our pitching. It's amazing we've done as well as we have with our current offense with all the injuries.
If there was any doubt that Phil Hughes was finished as a pitcher, this last game would have surely erased it. The Seattle Mariners beat the Yankees 9-2. The same Mariners that lost 17 games straight. Now, I'm sure the fielding and the hitting for the Yankees are to blame as well, and it looks like the bullpen was just giving runs away. But really, after a few other crummy starts following a long injury, if he can't get the job done against mediocre-to-poor teams, he doesn't belong in the majors.

How do you get that? He obviously tags the leg. He may have missed the arm, but the leg was clearly tagged. The ump even changed his mind after reviewing it.
I saw the tagging motion, but no real sign of contact (no shift in the glove or uniform). Even if there was instant replay I doubt it would have changed the call. *shrug* maybe there's better video out there than what they bothered to show on MLB.tv's recaps.
If MLB says it's the wrong call they should just resume the game at a later date.

That noise you hear from these parts isn't the Pirates' offense. It's the restless natives demanding to know why the team hasn't gone more aggressively after a bat. ANY bat.
When a guy just called up has more RBIs for July after a single AB than the starting first baseman, the fans start looking for their pitchforks and torches.
