Its amazing how football season comes around, and even though its pennant race time, people dont give a flying fuck about baseball

Mike Trout has a shot at a 30-30 season. Still 3-4 away in each category. MLB hasn't had a 30-30 season since Braun and Trout did it in 2012.
Mookie Betts has a shot, too, for that matter. 5 more SB and he's there.

Yet, every bar here has at least 60 percent of their TVs tuned into the Cards game.

I saw some highlights from the game yesterday, it looked like about 12 people were in attendance.

Yeah, it was a makeup for the rain out the night before. Apparently there were about 300 people in attendance.

That makes sense. I didn't catch the bit about it being a makeup game.

The best part: the announced paid attendance was 18,000+!

Kind of funny article in the Washington Post today about how Adam LaRoche is working with an anti-trafficking organization by posing undercover as a John looking for child prostitutes in third world countries. Rather random that he is even doing that.

Even weirder that he demanded to take his son with him to work.

I wish I could retweet this.

Come back Chris!

Like a pee-wee football game. Or WMLS. Or WNBA playoffs.

Jose Fernandez was killed in a boating accident today.

No words.

What are the details of the accident? Don't drink and boat?

It has been reported that no alcohol or drugs were involved.

Don't speed and boat, it seems like.
