Ancient history. Back in the 1900’s. You might as well ask “Why did they have to start Galehouse in the playoff game?”
Teams being four games ahead in April and not being in first place when the season ends aren’t “ancient history,” it’s an annual event.
Six years ago is ancient history?:dubious:
Giants and Dodgers playing a doubleheader today, was there a rainout? It is pretty rare to have rainouts in California, although early spring can still have rain there.
Yep. The April 6th game at AT&T was rained-out. Not surprising for early April in San Francisco.
Well currently Tampa is beating Boston and Texas is beating the Jays. This could be a good day for the Yanks.
For the fans of anyone other than the Dodgers or the Indians, can I offer you Pedro Baez?
Anyone?
I will throw in a bucket of (tennis) balls.
Dodgers are seriously kicking butt on the Giants today. Is this a day/night doubleheader or can the fans actually get two for the price of one?
Watching Pablo Sandoval pitch was the highlight of this season thus far. I am ready for a Sandoval/Baez swap.
ETA: The Dodger announcers said Sandoval was the first position player to pitch for the Giants since 1991. Wow.
Sadly, it’s a day/night.
That sucks. The Pirates/Tigers were a real doubleheader earlier this week. I hate day/night doubleheaders.
So after nearly a month, the AL looks almost exactly like people were predicting before the season (except most people had the Yankees a hair ahead of the Red Sox). The NL, not so much.
Odd trivia that was just mentioned during the Tigers/Orioles: The Diamondbacks are the first team to win their first 9 series since the 1907 Cubs.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before.
In today’s game against the Padres (through 8 innings), every single position player for the Mets with at least one official at-bat has two hits. No more, no less. 
Adrian Gonzalez messed it up by getting a third hit.
The Cubs shut out Milwaukee again, this time 2-0, earning a four-game sweep. Milwaukee scored two runs in the entire series!
The first game was the make-up from the rainout the teams had earlier in the month, so that sort of justifies it…
Speaking of the Padres, I’m still scratching my head over the Chase Headley acquisition. Why were they interested in spending $13 million on Headley when they already had better, cheaper options with Solarte and Villanueva? Surely it wasn’t just to get Bryan Mitchell.
The Kansas City Dumpster Fires finally managed back-to-back wins, the last team to do so.
Are there any teams anymore that are just genuinely bad, not actively tanking?
