Thank God the London Series is over. The quality of the gameplay in that stadium just doesn't feel right, there were too many multi-base hits and pop fouls not being caught.

On the bright side, I'm digging the Reds' Palm Beach throwbacks!

I don't know where this feeling came from, but I thought it was great – and the foul territory didn't seem much more than Oakland. Anyway, I'm sure the sold-out crowd there would've disagreed, as well.

Also, since when did more XBHs equal bad baseball?

Only the Mets...

Shame. If past cases are any indication, the most likely causes are probably either a heart condition or drugs.

The St. Lucie Mets started a fire outside the ballpark with their Independence Day fireworks.

Apparently the Mets' organizational ineptitude is also developed in the farm system...

How the Mets survived this long is truly baffling...

All 5 teams in the NL Central are separated by less than 5 games in the standings. And frankly, these teams are all looking rather mediocre this year.

I mean, would you rather that than a huge lead from the #1s in some of the other divisions.

Even if they are mediocre, it might give their fans something to be excited about.

Okay what the fuck is wrong with the Yankees, is it the Fenway curse or what, because they are getting creamed by the Red Sox. Yesterday they lost 19-3 and now they're down 7-0. The last two series against the RS, the Yankees won, but they were interesting, especially the London Series when both teams were running up the scores.

Whatever it is, it's pissing me off.

Your $218 million team is 30 games over .500, it will be ok.

Agreed. You win some, you lose some. Unless this turns into a long losing streak, it won't be much of an issue.

I prefer softball.

These Phillies throwbacks are glorious!

I love the Braves’ throwbacks too! There have been some slick throwbacks so far this year.

I'm sure looking nice helped lessen the sting of the 15-7 shellacking.

Shame Markakis is likely out for the season. Hope it's not the last time we see him in a Braves uniform because I think he brings a lot to the team.

I am a fan of the Chicago Cubs, but I find minor league ball to be much more fun.

Chicago has a new independent team, called the Chicago Dogs, playing out by O'Hare. I need to check them out.

[Idzequitch]

Cards on a winning tear? I likey.

Bauer is headed to Cincinnati and Puig is coming to Cleveland.

I guarantee that Greg Luzinski is sitting there saying "I told you so!".

Braves managed to get some bullpen help. Finally have a real closer instead of Fluke Jackson.

Yeah my dad was really excited about that. I'm still trying to figure our how the Tigers had anyone that another team acutely wanted.

Phils brought Cholly-san back as hitting coach! BANZAI!
