MLB Update:

• Blackmon ends CO offensive blackout with a power surge from the plate, as the Rock’ em Sock’ em Rockies finally sock it to the Yankees. #Rockies #Yankees
• Boston’s Cashner continues to crash and burn, while Baltimore’s Asher dusts off the Red Sox with surprising ease. The result is a very bad series loss for the defending World Champions. #RedSox #Orioles
• Redbirds peck apart the Reds with a monster game from starter Munoz. #Cardinals #Reds
• More misery for the Mets, who weaken yet again in the late innings; as for the Giants, they come back from the brink of extinction to level their record and ready for … a playoff run. #Mets #Giants
• Red P’s wreck hospitality of yellow P’s with huge homer in extras by Hoskins. #Phillies #Pirates
• To their credit, the Angels have not given up, and remain a long shot playoff pretender … going to three games over with a scorching of Seattle. #Angels #Mariners

MLB Update:

• Bryce guy finishes first in Pittsburgh; Phils seem to have recovered their early season form, while the Pirate pitching is apparently heading south for an extended Summer respite. #Phillies #Pirates
• Red Sox and Price don’t get the usual warm reception at Camden Yards; instead, their No. 1 starter gets hit very hard. #RedSox #Orioles
• Pads left stammering at the finish line after Stammen, Tatis and Media throw away the victory. #Padres #Cubs
• Cards prove no lead is safe when you’re he ahead as a Red. #Cardinals #Reds

MLB Update, Recap and Perspectives, Wednesday, 7-17-19:

• Could it be that things are looking really rosy for Rosario and the swaggering Mets, who bust the Twins in the shins with a ton of hits and some surprisingly stiff stuff off the mound from Vargas. #Mets #Twins
• This year’s turning into quite a bod of work for both E-Rod and Devers, whose exploits give Boston the cushion they need to tame the Jays. #RedSox #BlueJays
• The too talented for .500 Brewers are certainly loving life with Hader. #Braves #Brewers
• More runs fall from the heavens for the G-men, who seem to have gone through a majorly positive attitude in the high altitude of Coors Field. #Giants #Rockies
• Classic bad beat in STL for the Pirates, who have a win stolen under their noses when the Cardinals turn to the Goldschmidt standard. #Pirates #Cardinals

MLB Update, Recap and Perspectives, Monday, 7-15-19:

• Chappy’s choo choo made the mistake of venturing into the d’Arnaud danger zone, with some very serious consequences for the shocked and appalled Bombers. #Rays #Yankees
• So much for the Cubs’ resurgence; Cincy reminds everyone that they are no longer to be trifled with (at least for 1 game of the 3-game set). Nice job, Reds! #Reds#Cubs
• Houston earned a Big “L” at the Big A today, with alarmingly spotty pitching that will not serve them well in October (if they do get that far). #Astros #Angels
• As usual, the Pirates save their worst for their good friends the Cardinals, stumbling through a completely miserable, error prone shutout in St. Louis. Absolutely pathetic! #Pirates #Cardinals
• Brewers continue to slide back to the pack, while Freeman and the Braves are look ready to clinch their division by mid August. #Braves #Brewers
• Boston’s big boppers bounce back, as they usually do, against the batting practice junk offered up by the Jays. #BlueJays #RedSox

MLB Update, Recap and Perspectives, Friday, 7-12-19:

• Dodgers continue to prove that despite their gaudy record they are nothing more than serious Fenway flops, with their peerless leader, Mister Roberts, spending most of the game cowering out of sight in a corner of the dugout; rumor has it that despite his time in Boston as a player, he’s really afraid of Wally The Green Monster. #Dodgers #RedSox
• Giants make more mischief for Milwaukee as Posey poses as a slugger. #Giants #Brewers
• In an absolutely scintillating victory, a bunch of likely comatose fans in St. Louie watch some D-backs and Cardinals tread water (who would’ve thought birds and snakes would have such skills). #Diamondback #Cardinals
• Led by their big stick, the former Mariner, Admiral Nelson, the Twins continue to insist that they be taken seriously, but as they ambush the Indians by the banks of Lake Erie, is anybody out there really listening? #Twins #Indians
• Very pleasing win for the C’s over the P’s, as the Cubbies look to turn over a new leaf in the friendly confines. Tough loss for the Pirates, who are desperately trying to get some traction for purposes of sticking their heads out above sea level. #Pirates #Cubs
• The USS Strasburg steams into Filthydelphia and leaves the flounder Phils more than a little queasy. #Nationals #Phillies
• Hope definitely doesn’t spring eternal in Baltimore, as the light hitting Rays bat around (and then some) in a totally obnoxious 7-run first … having more than a little fun against the ever incompetent Bundy. Time to send this whole team down to AA for some serious rehap. #Rays #Orioles
• Yankees exert stern control over the frail Jays with their newly discovered right wing German dictator Domingo. #BlueJays #Yankees

MLB Update:

• The mindlessly mediocre Cubs listlessly drop another game to their underappreciated, crosstown brethren Chisox. This team is living on borrowed time in first place in the NL Central, and may well not finish the year as the best team in Chicago; the White Sox are better than people think. #Cubs #WhiteSox
• A sporting Morton keeps the Rays within shouting distance of the pace setting Yankees. #Yankees #Rays
• The Bryan Reynolds story continues to grow in Pittsburgh, as the rookie obtained as part of the McCutcheon trade had one of the biggest hits of his short career — a 3-run job that pushes the Pirates over the bumbling Brewers. The Bucs are believing they can make a serious run in the 2nd half, and given the lack of a bona fide favorite in this division, this confidence is indeed well founded. #Brewers #Pirates
• Price has no problem de-fanging Detroit’s felines, enabling Boston to merrily coast into the AS break. #RedSox #Tigers
• Wildly entertaining game in Houston, where Trout hit two dingers, but the resilient Astros walk off with the win thanks to Springer. #Angels #Astros
• Something seems to have gone slightly awry with the storybook season for Minnesota. This is not a 100 win team, and Cleveland has finally woken up. Time will tell, but there’s good reason to believe wins will continue to get tougher for the Twins in the 2nd half. #Rangers #Twins
• Padres do what Padres do and give the Dodgers a real hard time … despite the obnoxiously good record for the NL West leaders. Way to go, feisty Fathers! #Padres #Dodgers

MLB Update:

• Angels clear .500 the hard way with a one-run win over Verlander and the division leading Stros. Justin’s just not been as shut down this year, giving up homers with alarming regularity. #Angels #Astros
• Phils couldn’t be more thrilled when Jay Bruce exacted retribution with the game winner. #Phillies #Mets
• No way that the act of stumbling Stanek will stand-up to what may well be the best lineup in the majors. No way. #Yankees #Rays
• Is Chris Davis actually threatening to bust out of the unbreakable slump? A little hitting goes a long way today, with Dylan’s pitching doing the rest for the O’s. #Orioles #BlueJays
• Cain able to finally deliver victory for the Brewers, who do the unthinkable by letting the Guerra bros blow a 5-run lead in the bottom of the ninth. When oh when will the Pirates be able to do away with the Brew Crew bugaboo? #Brewers #Pirates
• Hopeless Royals do something quite irrational and come through in extras to whip the Nationals. #Royals #Nationals
• Finally some relief for the Red Sox, as Heath takes Boston across the finish line in support of another excellent start from E-rod and some major league slugging by Mookie. #RedSox #Tigers
