Because everyone should watch it. Weirdest call ever.

The atmosphere in that stadium is positively crazy. It reminds me quite a bit of the nuttiness in Oakland during the Warriors/Mavs series in 2007. I'm half contemplating making the trek up from the southern half of the state to see a game there while the getting is good.

The best was when someone said 50 percent of the league was on steroids and Rickey Henderson said "well I'm not, so it's more like 49 percent"

Rickey Henderson is a beautiful human being.

That was fantastic, I love the swing of an nonexistent bat.

Atlanta wins another Medlen start. That makes 23 in a row now, which is the new record.

It took all season, but the real Mike Napoli has finally shown up. He has activated beast mode. Hopefully he can keep it up for the rest of the year and stay hot through the playoffs.

I also read that Mike Adams is going to be out for nearly two weeks. He got hurt at exactly the wrong time, but at least Uehara has been pitching well enough to take over his spot.

Edit: and I guess Beltre got dinged up again. I hope it isn't anything major.

Yep. Really playing well down the stretch. Took 2/3 from the Mets this weekend, swept the Marlins before.

Up to 93 wins, with 3 games in Pittsburgh remaining. Best season they've had since winning 96 games in 2004.

The Dodgers finally decide to hit but is it a little to late. We won the last 5 in row average a little less than 7 runs a game but only made up 1 game to the Cardinals. 2 games out with 3 games left. Still got hope.

We are a few days away from the great debate in Southern California: who was the biggest disappointment, Dodgers or Angels?

SHAKING MY FUCKEN HEAD.

After playing like absolute shit all of April, I'm amazed the Angels are even still in it. The Dodgers traded for half of Boston's roster as well as Hanley Ramirez and it didn't change a thing.

I vote Doyers.

No way. The Dodgers weren't expected to do shit this year anyway. The Angels on the other hand...

Don't forget to include the Padres in that conversation!

You can't reason with Dodger fans. They missed the playoffs in 2010 and didn't even give McCourt another year before they ran him out of town (this is after making the NLCS in 08 and 09). I know he was a shit owner, but they act like those two NLCS runs took place in the 50's or 60's.

Quarter billion in salary for one player?

That was for three players. The Angels spent a quarter billion on one player.

The Dodgers might not have had big expectations going into the season, but they had one of the best records in the game for the first couple of months of the season, and then took on all of that salary with the Red Sox trade.

Pujols is getting paid to play. Crawford is getting paid to sit.

And while the Angels and Dodgers spend like one-percenters, the Oakland A's just clinched a playoff berth!
