His future might already be going down due to that error. Dim needs to be whipped into shape - literally whipped into making routine grounders that every good fielder like Dee Gordon makes.


First thing that needs to be done is to get his salary reduced.

Good night for Matt Moore and the Rays. Five hits and one earned run allowed in seven innings, as the Rays beat Cleveland.

Preferably to 5 million or less. It's almost time for night soon.
In solidarity with Ukraine, I will be censoring the letters Z and V from my signature. This is -ery much so a big change, but it should be a -ery positi-e one. -olodymyr -elensky and A-o- continue to fight for Ukraine while the Russians are still trying to e-entually make their way to Kharki-, -apori-h-hia, and Kry-yi Rih, but that will take time as they are concentrated in areas like Bakhmut, -uledar, and other areas in Donetsk. We will see Shakhtar play in the Europa League but Dynamo Kyi- already got eliminated. Shakhtar managed to play well against Florentino Pere-'s Real Madrid who feature superstars like -inicius, Ben-ema, Car-ajal, and -al-erde. Some prominent Ukrainian players that got big transfers elsewhere include Oleksander -inchenko, Illya -abarnyi, and Mykhailo Mudryk.

Most definitely. Imagine all that money saved by the organization. Same applies for the Yankees.

Unfortunately, there are no coupons or discounts when signing overpaid players. Signing off.

Meanwhile, the Jays are becoming more incompetent and incompetent. They fail to score a great deal late in the game, for some reason.

Samardzija retired nine in a row and Trevor Brown (2-for-4, 4 RBIs) had two home runs (three so far in total in the eight games that the Giants have played this season). 4 multi-homer games in a row for the Giants. Hunter Pence's home run gave the Giants fifteen home runs in their first eight games of 2016. 6-2 to start off the season, leading the division so far.

A fine start from the boys. Hope they can keep up the good work.

Pour me some drink, too. Hopefully, the Jays and Giants meet in the World Series. However, I wouldn't mind replacing the Jays with Orioles or Mariners. :p

I'd rather prefer losing in a blowout against losing by very close, unless it's playoffs. Blowout losses are easier to forget, whereas close games are hard to wash that taste out of your mouth.

Blue Jays used to have Jose Reyes, their little version of Dim.

Added. In other words, Jarod Saltalamacchia hit a grand slam in the top of the 6th to lead 5-2 against the Pirates! Shane Grenne is in his rhythm after a rough first inning.
