Dodgers sweep the Giants!

the NL west is a tight race 6 games separate first and last place.

lol, the race is tight, but not because the teams are so good, because they're all bad right now lol.

1st in that division would be 4th in the AL East and NL Central

So the Phillies just acquired 38 year old John McDonald from the Indians for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

I.....I don't get it...

Maybe it'll like the time Toronto sent McDonald to the Tigers for a player to be named later. Later he was traded back to Toronto, effectively trading him for himself.

I wouldn't call a team that's been 34-25 since a 5-15 start "bad".

My only guess is that since Utley is now back and with Frandsen playing very well that they will send Galvis back down to AAA to get some regular playing time when McDonald arrives.

so whats your point?

I never said the NL West was the best division in baseball, just that it was a tight race

There is always going to be a bad division, last year the Tigers only won 88 games tying the Cardinals for the last Wild Card spot in the NL, yet they won their division and made it to the World Series but I guess they didn't deserve to be in the World Series because they won the worst division in baseball last year.

Injuries are back!

Melky is injured on the Jays.

Good news though.....Kawasaki is back!

Seriously though, someone needs to do some investigation in Toronto, what's in the water, what's going on with all these injuries in past 3 years? It's the most injured time period in franchise history.

Re: 6/24 - 6/30 Game Discussion Thread

Well Melky had been playing with leg issues virtually on season so this isn't surprising.

Not the way I wanted to see this series start. I blame the Mandarin broadcast! Just kidding, sometimes you're gonna get a stinker of a game like this from Wang.

[Majingir]

Re: 6/24 - 6/30 Game Discussion Thread

Was expecting Jays to lose this game, not cause of Wang, but cause of how good Lester is against Jays. Surprised how Jays offense did in this game, so sucks to see us lose despite getting 4 runs.

As long as Jays win at least 2 more of the remaining 3 against Red Sox, it'll be fine.

Mcdonald could be the bench middle infielder they have on the 25 man if they do in fact trade Utley. I would imagine the scenario would be they trade Utley, Galvis starts at 2nd, they move Mike Young, Frandsden starts at third, Mcdonald becomes a bench player.
