Summer ends in about three weeks. That stinks.

Summer for me isn’t ending anytime soon.

109 in Tucson yesterday.

Or, a better correaltion is that lower income people are more likely to be o-beast and lower income people are less likely to need a passport (or can afford one).

There’s definitely some truth to that.

Umm, pretty sure there aren’t many studies that make that connection, but if there were, I’d love to see it. Otherwise, this in no more than two old women sitting around and linking shit just to link shit.

“The summer drought? Definately from Walmart stores, I can feel it in my bones.”

Oakland is pretty damn good

That lineup isn’t

I think it is. Cespedes is for real. Since June 20th, he’s missed one game. Hitting .388 over that span with 5 taters and 20+ runs scored and driven in. Chris Carter is a 3 outcome hitter just like Adam Dunn. Reddick has cooled off considerably but he’s still got plenty of pop in that bat. Gomes walks a ton and is a perfect #2 hitter.

I will concede that Cliff Pennington might be the worst every day player in all of baseball though.

Just saying Shields doesn’t seem like someone I want as my #2 in a series against NY< Tex, LA or Det, mini hot streak or now.

The BABIP gods have been unfriendly to him.

Two minutes of people fainting on TV.

as someone who has had to catch a fellow groomsman fainting at a wedding, this was quite awesome.

Well Oak is 2nd to last in the AL in Runs and Hits. Just saying Shields doesn’t seem like someone I want as my #2 in a series against NY< Tex, LA or Det, mini hot streak or now.

Min, Tor and Oak not exactly a murderer’s row though.

Oakland is pretty damn good. Min has the best home run differential. Toronto I can see your point.

Ha forgot Liriano, but point taken.

Peavy, Floyd, Humber, Quintana?

Humer’s already in the bullpen…I’m guessing a postseason rotation would involve Liriano and Floyd instead of him and Quintana, so in other words they’d better hope to sweep an LDS series and then be gifted three rainouts in the LCS

What is this?

They really don’t scare me outside of Sale, who may be shut down or moved to the pen. Peavy, Floyd, Humber, Quintana? I’ll take my chances I can outscore them.

Does any player get less respect than Jered Weaver?

Touche. I’d take any of Felix/Price/Weaver as 2nd best pitcher in the AL.

With Shields looking very hittable this year the Rays don’t seem all that scary, but I’d still rather play the White Sox than the Rays in a series.

SSS applies again, but has only given up 10 hits, 3 ER, 2 HR and had 19:2 K/BB in his past three starts (24 IP). I think he’s turned around. Would need some pitch fx data though to prove it.
