“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
I actually had that in my post about the money coming off the books, but I deleted it because I didn't want the scoreboard thread to turn into a "we have to sign Choo" thread. Looking at the FA list, Choo is arguably the best bat on the market. Beltran might be for one year and I'm assuming the Yankees keep Cano.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Welp, the Cards are finally struggling a bit. I guess that's something.
Rounding third and heading for home...
Unfortunately with both the Pirates and the Reds 5-5 over their last 10... it means neither of the 3 teams made any progress.
If they all struggle and slump together it is pretty meaningless in the division race.
On the other hand, looks like those Braves are starting to find the stride they set at the beginning of the season. Their pitching looked great. They don't want the post season to end on a wild card race or loss this year.
Braves and Dodgers are starting to get healthy and hit their strides at the right time. If Heyward and J-Up start hitting, ATL will be just fine. If Kemp comes back healthy to go with Hanley, A-Gon and Puig, the Dodgers will be ridiculous. Both teams have great pitching. Yeah, the dominance of the NL Central could be coming to a close right quick.

I think the frustrating part is the division their in. In any other division they'd be in first with breathing room. This year, they're in third, and not moving.
When they win, the Pirates and/or Cards win. When they lose, it seems one of the other two lose. Unfortunately the Pirates and Cards both lost on the same day this week twice, and so did the Reds...
This is a big big week.
The Cardinals got swept, and the Pirates lost two of three to the Marlins, and the Reds didn't gain any ground. In fact, they lost a game on the Pirates. Frustrating. I've given up on winning the division now.
