Happ tried to do his best Brandon McCarthy impression by blocking a line drive with his head:

Swept by the Giants.

Lost 2/3 to the Padres.

Swept the Doyers.

"Robinson Cano tallied hit No. 1,500 today".

Won the series vs. the Braves.

Justin Upton showed exactly why we traded him.

Man, I love watching him struggle. Before it was painful when he was hurting our team, now I see it from everyone else's point of view!

Not sure if you're serious about Justin struggling? BJ on the other hand is struggling. But Justin is playing damn well. Best player in the braves lineup so far.

Edit: I agree he isn't playing as well as he was at the beginning of the year, but too early to say he is struggling. BJ on the other hand, dear god. Does anyone accept returns lol

Dead serious. It's only downhill from here, and we know from experience.

I loved the series here in Arizona. He had one HR, but whatever... embarrassed himself the rest of the series!

(I may hold a little grudge for the way he played and acted out here in Phoenix, so take that into account)

Also, how is BJ Upton in the top 10 in AS voting?

AS voting is a ******* joke anymore, no wonder nobody watches it.

The Dbacks won last night, but it shouldn't have gone 14 innings. Such a blatant, blown call at third (that ESPN refuses to show it in the 3 seconds they air anything about the Dbacks beating the best team in the league and we also happen to have the hottest hitter in the NL...).

Whatever, I guess I can live with a good team flying under the radar.

Okay, that's my rant for the morning. I'm still fuming over that call, even though we still won.

I gave Justin the benefit of the doubt for 2 weeks since my last post. Here is how I feel now

Good call on him. I agree BJ shouldn't be allowed within 100 miles of the allstar game

Ugh, we have the umpiring crew that messed up and were suspended last week.

They called an out on a foul ball that Ozuna caught after it bounced off the wall.

Now, less than three feet & in perfect position they missed a clear out on a pick off throw.

They need to be fired. Or sent back down to the minors and back to umpiring school.

PapoZalsa · 05-20-2013, 05:45 PM

Let see how NYY are going to do with some regulars coming back. So far so good with the replacements.

Lemers · 05-20-2013, 05:47 PM

Maybe the replace nuts are better than the old guys coming back.

Well people were 100% sure that by now the NYY was going to be in dead last place. THEY WERE WRONG!!!

Anyway Who knows, let me get my crystal ball out.

Haboob · 05-20-2013, 10:28 PM

Patrick Corbin, 5th in our rotation, but he's 8-0. He's our ace.

shadoquad · 05-20-2013, 10:31 PM

Ugh what a loss to the yanks. Difference was closers... hall of fame shut down vs. Recently troubled...

Pitching definitely hasn't been good, starting rotation, bullpen and now Johnson. I have faith they will get it turned around.

First base ump was a mess. That's about as mad as I have seen Buck.

I agree, the whole MLB umpire crew has been terrible this yr.
