Starling Castro got his 1000th hit the other day for the Cubs at age 25. He frequently plays braindead though

I thought this comment was stupid and Cowherd a fuckwad but I didn't think he was going to get Jimmy the Greeked. I guess it's pretty predictable.

I don't really care about the comment he was fired over but he obviously doesn't know a damn thing about baseball.

I'm calling it... KC Royals = WS champs. My safe bet is STL. I dunno how much of a stretch it is calling KC for the World Series, but I think it's time I give in to them. Anyone willing to make any early calls on the ultimate playoff contenders/champs??
In all of pro sports, I am a MN Twins fan. Born in Iowa so I'm a University of Iowa Hawkeye fan when it comes to football, and don't care too much when it comes to other sports (who wins anyway); in pro football I just like seeing a good football game.
But yea baseball is a sport I'm fairly passionate about, and I enjoyed some good success from the Twins in the last decade, like '00-09. I wanna say we haven't made it to the playoffs since like '09 though. This season we actually have a possible chance at the wildcard spot though... and the playoffs are the playoffs so I'll take that wildcard. But following the Twins this whole season, and our new rivals, the Royals, it's like every day we win, they win, every day we lose, they win... they win the close ones, we lose the close ones, they beat the good teams (they beat that Keuchel dude yesterday) we beat the good teams only sometimes. Lol I know I'm being a bit dramatic but in such a long season trends like this do show themselves.
It's funny because 10 years ago the Twins were the dominant AL central team and maybe the White Sox were our #2. And the Royals were by far the worst lol. Detroit I guess has always kinda hung around in there and has had some really nice years lately. But honestly the success of the Royals this year, as being hands down one of the best teams in baseball, does come as a bit of a surprise to me, especially considering their overall winning traditions have been basically non-existent.
GO TWINS!

I always thought Cowherd was kind of an idiot that should shut up a lot more than he normally does, but did he really get fired for what he said in that clip? Wow that wasn't that big a deal was it?? I feel like I'm missing something, goddamn lol.

It is but I don't know what either of them was thinking. Toronto needs pitching. They have plenty of offense.

Texas and KC have also made big moves for playoff pitchers who can pitch 3 times in a series.

Giants picked up Mike Leake for 2 minor leaguers, what a fucking deal. Dude had a great July, hopefully it carries over. He will likely take Hudson's spot in the rotation.

Bad idea; I enjoyed at least some playoff success with the Twins the first decade of the new millennium, but since our new field we only made the playoffs our first year ('10) then the next 4 years SUCKED. During my last post in this thread I got thinking about that, and even though it was surely a bummer making it to the playoffs a number of times back then and always losing in the first round (often to the yanks ) it's still a lot more fun at least being postseason contenders in the playoff hunt.
We've had our struggles this year, and our play since the all-star break has been especially worrisome, and KC is continuing to dominate so we aren't winning our division, but into August now we are still right there in the Wild Card. I like that

All the opponents hated playing in the Twins dome, but it seemed to give them an advantage.
I hate to say it but KC looks like they are real and not just a one year thing. They went out and got that starter so they have somebody to match up with aces in the playoffs. He's good but not a complete dominator. But their relievers are so good.
Dave Dumbrowski got fired by the Tigers. Lots of success, but no rings on the Tigers. His only weakness was that he could never put together a bullpen. He also had a slight problem with hitters who couldn't field very well, but that's pretty common on most teams.
