Tyler Skaggs pitched tonight and gave up 2 runs in 7 innings as the Angels won and Tyler is now 2-0.

Ian Kennedy gave up 1 run in 6 innings to the Brewers tonight. 3.60 ERA on the season now. We replaced him with Arroyo at double the price tag. :shrug:

Seems pretty ridiculous when you consider the relatively tiny investment it would take to join the 21rst Century.

Is this why Towers makes such horrendous decisions? Is he one of those old school "I judge a player by lookin' 'em in the eye" kind of fossils?

Towers went from pitcher, to pitching coach, to scout, to Director of Scouting, to finally GM. My guess is he values his personal judgement quite a lot given this career path.

When we lose today, can the MLB charge the loss to the Kansas City Feds since we're wearing their unis?

Maybe they should keep those KC Fed uniforms for awhile.

For all of the pounding this team has taken, the bullpen has actually been pretty damn good over the past 2-3 weeks. They were huge in the game today... and, somehow, Hill remembered how to swing a bat! :D

Leave it to the Cubs to lose on the 100th anniversary of Wrigley Field due to a cursed 2nd base.

Two in a row! Bolsinger pitched really well today. His curve was on fire.

Incredible to think that we can win the next 10 games in a row, and STILL be below .500.... WoW!!!! :eek:
