How in the hell does that writer still have a job

Edit:

Just saw this

Last night a story was published on one of our team blogs that crossed the line between fanaticism and good taste.

We take pride in the fact that our team blogs are allowed to express themselves and their rabid following of their teams unencumbered by the traditional editorial process. It's what we're great at and what makes us unique. But when someone does cross that line of good taste, we need to make sure that our readership realizes that we don't embrace the culture of pure wild, wild west.

We took the post down and we have mutually agreed to part ways with the blogger in question. We thank him for his years of service to his community and look forward to opening a new chapter at that blog. We in no way endorse the post. We realize that this could happen again in the future and we will always act when that line is crossed.

Let me put it this way. I'd take their #5 guy over any of our starters right now. I'm not asking for an Strasburg or Scherzer. I just want a guy who can get to the 6th inning without crapping himself.

Don't worry the Jays' bullpen will somehow give up those runs right back to the Red Sox.

While the Red Sox bullpen gives them right back to the Jays.

@jackcurryyes : Tanaka's MRI showed a small forearm strain so he will be placed on the 15-day DL.



@bryanhoch :Cashman said it will conservatively be a month before Tanaka returns to mlb rotation

@peterbotte: Cashman said no change in Tanaka's elbow, but when asked if this might be a Tommy John precursor, said "Could be."

[StuntGranny®]

Sigh.

Braves should've traded Teheran and kept Kimbrel. If this season is any indication, Teheran's 15 minutes are up.

[andrew8798]

How in the hell do you almost blow a 10 run lead

[Renslayer]

Braves were up 10-2 after 4 innings. Now? It's a 1 run game in the seventh inning. Heh

[BRV]

Red Sox starting pitchers innings pitched this season:

7.0
6.0
6.0
5.1
7.0
3.1
8.0
4.2
2.1
5.2
6.0
5.0
5.0
5.2
5.0
6.0
6.0
7.0
2.1
6.0
2.2

With the exception of Justin Masterson in Baltimore last Saturday, they haven't had a starting pitcher get through the seventh inning in more than two weeks.

[Renslayer]

Nationals lead the Braves now on a Dan Uggla homer. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Chilly McFreeze]

LOL Dan Uggla WTF

The Grilli got lit alright.

[StuntGranny®]

If only the Braves hadn't traded away the best closer in the game, perhaps they wouldn't have blown that save.

[andrew8798]

Wow
