Dodgers are tired of not making the WS over the years, while the Giants have won 3 titles in a 5 year span.
Mets have possibly the best young rotation in MLB, adding offense at the deadline to make the playoffs. Dangerous pitching team.
Jays also acquired Price. Still 7 GB of the Yankees. Sure they can make up ground but it's not a guarantee and then they could lose Price for nothing in the offseason.

3? but really 2. Arroyo is out for the season. Avilan & Johnson in relief. Latos & Wood in the rotation.
This is the craziest deadline that I can remember since I started following baseball. So many deals and so many more to go before 3 PM.

Absolutely ridiculous. Completely one-sided in the Royals favor. Volquez is clearly trying to hit Donaldson (3 times) and Tulowitzki (once), but the person who gets ejected is Sanchez? The Royals have been picking fights with the White Sox, A's, and Astros, among other teams I'm sure. Ned Yost is a ****ing moron for allowing it all to happen.
Here's a link to everything that happened in Toronto: http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/2015/08/02/mlbtv_kcator_324948483_1200K.mp4 Terrible officiating by the umpire. Very similar to when a soccer referee lets a game get out of hand and punishes those retaliating to a string of uncalled fouls.
Gregg Zaun going IN on Ventura. http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/zaun-stop-writing-cheques-your-skinny-ass-cant-cash/
Incredible. So not only does ump Jim Wolf (Randy's brother, who is, funny enough, in the Blue Jays org.) punish Toronto and let KC skate free, so does MLB. Wow. Gibbons suspended one game; Sanchez suspended 3 games. _____________________________________ Meanwhile, Detroit has fired errr allowed GM Dave Dombrowski to pursue other opportunities.
FYI, there's playoff caliber baseball going on right now on ESPN. Kershaw vs. The Cole Train 1-0 Buccos* *Bye bye, scoreless streak :grin:
Yessir :grin: Moved out of state earlier this year. Really getting homesick. I definitely would have gone to at least one of the games if I were still living there.
