GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. How the fuck does a base umpire have the god damn authority to overrule a hit by pitch call. That call can only be made by the HP Umpire, how the fuck can the base umpire see what the hp ump didn't get the fuck out of here.

You mad?

Yeah, you mad

[*Shinzon*]

Of course I'm fucking mad, it's a fucking ridiculous call. The base ump has no fucking authority LET ALONE THE 2ND base ump, last I checked umps couldn't just make up the fucking rules as they go along. Reds lucked out, cuz that ends up being the second out and the inning ends on that popup to short. Unreal.

Joe Castiglione on the Sox radio broadcast was plugging "Vote for Cincinnati for the All-Star Game." Youk/Votto, of course.

[Akiyama]

Well that's game with Halladay on the mound. gg. Game 2 tomorrow. Come on Reds. Beat the Mets D:

[*Shinzon*]

NEVER MIND THE REDS ARE GOING TO GIVE THE GAME RIGHT BACK LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[Headspace]

Reds not gonna stop hitting.

Where's every day Nieve?

[Headspace]

Sup Votto.

There's every day Nieve.

[Penthesilea]

7th complete game this year for Halladay

[*Shinzon*]

Man is Charlie Manuel Blind, I can't believe Votto didn't make the ASG, his swing is sweet.

It's hard to see Votto when Howard stands in front of him.

[*Shinzon*]

I like that lol

[Headspace]

Votto was 3 feet away from a third home run.

But i'll take the double and a 3-4 game.


Frenchy stlll has the arm

[*Shinzon*]

SIT THE FUCK DOWN VOTTO LOOOOOL, he was out by a fucking mile. Now only if Fancouer could hit with some damn consistency.

[Headspace]

SIT THE FUCK DOWN VOTTO LOOOOOL,

Reds try that shit all the time, especially with leads.

[*Shinzon*]

I like the aggressive play but seriously who runs on Frenchy?

[Headspace]

Winners do.

Bunch of reports saying there's a Lee-Twins deal pending. Heyman said "interesting discussions" but also seeing a few beat writers saying its a done deal. Would make the Twins a pretty legit team if so. I assume its for their young catcher.

Mets May Have Difficulty Adding Payroll
By Zach Links [July 5 at 9:32pm CST]

One of the Mets' debt covenants states that the team's payroll cannot increase, sources told Josh Kosman of the New York Post. Kosman writes that given their current financial state, the Mets may not be able to go after the ace that they seek at the Trade Deadline.

There is mounting evidence that suggests that the club, saddled with roughly $700MM in debt, is not turning a profit. The Wilpon family continues to feel the sting of the Bernie Madoff-perpetuated Ponzi scheme, which cost them "hundreds of millions". Sources say that the team is losing about $10MM per season when factoring in interest payments and depreciation.

Unsurprisingly, sources also told the Post that Fred Wilpon will ultimately have to sell his beloved franchise if things do not turn around.

Thank you Bernie, thank you.
