2013 MLB Season Thread

Jon Heyman with a tweet that is a lot funnier than it really has any right to be.

[Maxx]

Fucking christ Matt Kemp, can you stay healthy for two weeks?

[DMN in the House]

It just opens a spot in the Dodgers outfield!

[Toe]

If the Dodgers are out of the race come September, do they just shut him down for the final month and hope he is finally 100% next season?

[EddieG]

So no Puig in the AS game, instead Freddie Freeman and Steve Delabar win the final votes.

[The Buscher]

Leyland named Matt Moore and Chris Tillman to the ASG ahead of Derek Holland, who just shut down Leyland's Tigers last night. It's obvious to me that Leyland didn't look past the wins stat when making those selections.

Killer outing by Yoenis Cespedes at the HR Derby.

[thatshortguy]

Even Bryce Harper's inverted nepotism couldn't save him. Loved the gif Deadspin posted.

[livid]

Yeah, Cespedes was nuts. I'm really glad he won too because I was pulling for him.

[Maxx]

Harvey starts out the game by giving up a double to Trout, and then knocking Cano out of the game with a pitch to the knee.

[Lowerdeck]

Apparently it's to the quad and not the knee, so it shouldn't be that bad to the Yanks.

They still need a C, 1B, 3B, DH, and one OF though.

[Maxx]

So why exactly did Leyland not let Rivera, the greatest closer in history, close out his last All Star Game. One that just so happened to be taking place in the city he's spent his entire career in?

[gunnar hendershow]

In case whoever pitched the 8th blew the lead and there was no bottom of the 9th for him to pitch. Rivera was fully behind him doing this apparently.

[Lint]

Due to the Biogenesis scandal, Ryan Braun had been suspended the rest of the season, and more suspensions are top be announced

I am going to try and be positive. Cubbies seem to have gotten some decent prospects for Garza

Mike Olt has been at the top of the Rangers system for awhile and they've been reluctant to deal him in the past. Not sure if that means it's a good thing or a bad thing, though.

[Meacon Keaton]

It's July. I thought all Cub fans gave up and were getting hyped for the Bears by this point?

Better than Brewers fans who started in April.

It's prospects. I am gearing up for 2015 or so

And the Bears

[gunnar hendershow]

Mike Olt will probably wind up being the only everyday player the Cubs wind up with in their trade frenzy.
