    The Dodgers are winning again now that he has retired. Beat the Giants tonight 3-2 in 11 innings.

    They lead both leagues in runs hrs rbi and batting average. Scored 50 runs more than the next closest team. Everyone in their lineup can hit and even their bench.
    Jose altuve 5x all star at 5'5 is one of the most exciting players in baseball leading mlb in hitting at .365. Also leads the league in WAR.

    Carlos Correa ROY is their ss who is an arod type talent. Both he and altuve will be in the hall of fame barring injury and will be the cornerstone of their IF unless the Yankees ruin everything. George springer is their cf who can mash and run. Has 27 hrs despite being on the dl. And their leadoff guy.

    And Dallas keuchel is their Cy young winner but he's not really Cy young good.

    Man, sounds like they're loaded,.. I don't like any of the NL leaders, save St Louis a wee bit,.. can't see myself pulling for any of the AL east's, and don't give a shit about Cleveland,.. so unless the Twins get hot, maybe I could end up buying an Astros' hat

    Yeah hence why I mentioned 2. I hate puig. Kyle farmers first ab ever is the game winner. Maybe yall can trade us bumgarner.

    Yeah 3 straight years losing over 100 games. The gm said he had a plan I didn't believe him. But he killed my interest in mlb for that time.

    fuck that's rough, Giants are on course to lose 100, not much in their pipeline either.

    Big payroll too,.. I was hoping you guys were gonna take Samardzija off our hands

    He would be a backup. Yall keep his free swinging self.

    Yankees win the final day of trade by landing sonny gray. Their rotation is now complete along with a solid pen and gave up 2 hurt prospects and one other to Billy Beane.
