[MLB] A Cespedes for the rest of us.

Hjorvarthr

oh god Drew Butera is back in the majors

Sweeney Tom

CC Sabathia is now the only pitcher in the league who has given up 7 or more runs in 3 straight starts this season.

Tonkka

Wow that was a shitty call.

Tonkka

That call sent this game to extra innings.

Hjorvarthr

something about the west coast and extra innings games for the Twins

brings out the power in guys you don't expect to have any

Sweeney Tom

Albert Pujols aggravated his hurt foot, and may be done for the rest of the season.

Fuck I tried to play Archer god dammit

Good, get the shit over with so we can actually talk about baseball.

The way MLB is handling this whole Biogenesis thing is just sad. I don't know if they even realize that they are literally choosing the worst of all possible options and making themselves look incompetent to boot.

Angry

How are they making themselves look incompetent?

They had enough evidence on Ryan Braun that he accepted his suspension.

I also don't understand how suspensions are the worst of all options? Everyone is sick of the cheating, the MLB, the mlbpa and the fans.

If this results in Alex Rodriguez never playing another game, literally everyone wins.

As a non-Yankees fan,

I hope A-Rod gets a light sentence, because watching Yankees fans get angry over him is the best.

According to the NY Post, he's expected to be suspended until 2015.

Which I guess is light considering at one point a lifetime ban was discussed. But if that happens, he'll be almost 40 when he returns. Even healthy, A-Rod in 2015 likely wouldn't be a big factor anymore.

Angry

My hope is that whatever the suspension, the Yankees can't recoup any of the contract or terminate it.

Raijin Quickfoot

I can't believe I managed a tie this week. My team was complete butts for most of the week.

Angry

If I had moved Lester back in this week I would tied.

My pitching was something else this week.

Raijin Quickfoot

Here is my opinion on ARod.

I want whatever can happen so that people just stop wasting time talking about him.

Goose!

Fuck my offense.

PizzleStixx

Wahoo, Internet is back!

I'm at the point with the suspensions where I'm actually excited to hear them now. We've been guessing for so long and it's always talked about so that means if we guess right we get a prize right? Otherwise why else would this be happening?

My guess: Pete Rose! Suspended to infinity then.

Maximum

My hope is that every player on the Giants is suspended 50 games for sucking.

Jasconius

i'll be pretty satisfied with an A-rod lifetime ban

i'll be more satisfied with something intentionally troll-y like banning him for all but the final year of his contract so he will come back and suck ass for 20 million dollars

Hjorvarthr

I finally moved up in the standings, now I get Maximum


wonderful

I will crush you

Jasconius

my team is done

i have been injury bugged to hell and back

granderson ruined me

then Puig basically eliminated Crawford as a viable fantasy player, which was my last hope

Raijin Quickfoot

I think that's the first week I didn't get a home run from Chris Davis.

As is watching the Yankees organization doctors try and make up injuries so they don't have to play or bench him.

Every single part of this fiasco is a special treat to non-yankee fans. It is a gift from the baseball gods.

Rays get Jesse Crain, but the trade was complicated since Crain's injured and will be based on how much he plays for the Rays

Looks like Rios is heading to Pittsburgh if early reports are to be believed.

Peavy was scratched from his start today as well so he's probably heading somewhere by the end of the day.

The Dodgers now have Brian Wilson.

and yes, he still has the beard

TRAITOROUS SCUM!

and then alex rios fouled a ball off his foot

Jake Peavy to the Red Sox pending physical.

Nirya

Angels sent Alberto Callaspo to the As, got Grant Green in return.

Somewhat excited about that.

That Peavy deal apparently sends Iglesias to the Tigers and Avisail Garcia to the White Sox. Apparently the Tigers believe Peralta will be getting suspended.

Yep.

Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta, Mariners catcher Jesus Montero, Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli, Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera and minor leaguers Fernando Martinez, Fautino de los Santos, Cesar Puello and Norbeto Martin will all be hit with 50-game bans within the next 72 hours, CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman reported Monday, and none plan to challenge their punishment.

Missing from that list, however, are those who have already been hit with suspensions stemming from the Biogenesis investigation. Both Heyman and Passan report that Bartolo Colon, Yasmani Grandal and Melky Cabrera, who were each suspended 50 games last season, will likely not face further discipline.
