-The Chicago White Sox arguably have the worst 1-2 punch I have ever seen, both of which have been absolute fantasy killers this season. Adam Dunn makes headlines with his plentiful strike-outs, putrid average and pants-shittingly failure to meet even the most modest of expectations, Alex Rios has been worse. Way worse. Dunn’s OPS+ of 66 dwarfs Rios’ 52. These two coupled in with the revolving door at 3b (Starter Brent Morel has an OPS+ of 56 while back-up Mark Teahen is has an OPS+ of 59) have provided the worst 3rd of a lineup in recent memory. I simply cannot fathom how they are only 1 game back of .500.
-I’ve watched the video of the “blown call” from the Pirates-Braves the other day probably 25 times. Yeah, the throw definitely beat Lugo home. I still can’t tell definitively if he tagged him out or not. That ump definitely doesn’t deserve the amount of shit he got, and the call was not as easy as people are claiming. Shitty job by the catcher there, make sure you get the out. And Scott Proctor, learn how to fucking run the bases, that was pathetic.

-How the hell does Hiroki Kuroda have 13 losses while John Lackey has 9 wins? God the Dodgers suck.
-I’m calling it right now, Adrian wins the regular season and TJ comes in second. Drew falls to third and loses in the first round of the play-offs, bringing a smile to everyone else’s face. I think Kurt and I will battle for 4th and 5th, and Colin will come in 6th with a team that no one will want to face in the play-offs.
-Is anyone else down for throwing a championship party for the winner of the DD this year? Most of us should be around and I think it would be a real fun time.
