The Giants' Strickland is such a doucebag.... every time he gets lit (which is pretty regular as a pro choke artist) he hands out hard looks and gets all pissy...
So today, he drills Brice Harper for homers he hit in 2014! Fight... glad he got popped by Harper.
And the fact Posey did not move from behind the plate to restrain Harper shows what Posey thinks of Strickland... even his own team won't protect him. Buster wanted no part of it...
What say you?

Posey has some class.
Can I get an RIP for the Cubs? Their pitching SUCKS! Arrieta looks to be
a has-been. Lester is ready for his AARP card and they gots zero in the pen.

Can't find much in the way of positive about the '17 Giant's. Awful in just about every aspect.

A good old-fashioned brew-ha-ha. Tricky move by Harper to throw his helmet at Strickland, it caught Strickland by surprise and let Harper land the first punch

The Cubs lost to the Padrinos? Serioysly?
Dodger pitching might actually be halfway decent! A few guys are getting hits, too.

Baseball is messed up. Ron Santo is 95th in dingers, had a good glove, and
a respectable BA yet they didn't elect him to the HOF until he'd been in the
dirt for two years? WTF?
So how many years until the Cubbies win again? They, nor anybody else, in
the NL are gonna stop the Blue Crew. Houston is looking pretty gud but them
Dodgers are looking impressive. The pen still has some issues but their bats
are making up for it. 163 run differential through 83 games!

How 'bout some love for the team with the best record in baseball at the break?
Giants can barely see the Padres from their cellar seats.

I don't care who wins the WS as long as it's an American League club. The NL has this silly rule that requires us to watch the futility of a pitcher at bat.

I'm sure that chess is on the "to do list" of very few baseball players.....takes too much time away from computer games and listening to country western.

Yasiel Puig goes yard for 3 runs in the 9th to bring the Dodgers from behind! 62-29!
I take back all the bad things I said in April and May! Really! Can I get an RIP for the Cubs?

...the Red Sox Nation welcomes you, Russ... my SF Giants friends all had the same question when we picked up The Panda: "really?"
He was truly in the class of the David Wells trade (recall that on May 8, 2005 Wells lasted 1.1 innings giving up 9 hits and 7 runs to the A's... I had to remind my wife who attended the game with me that it will at least go down in baseball history).
She had read the sport's writer's criticism, aptly applied to both players, that they "were one hotdog away from the DL"
In the meantime, a "walk off walk," where the BoSox take the win in Fenway against the Yankees after trailing into the 9th, has to be one of the sweetest victories. But even I thought it excruciating.

On October 9, 1869, the "Silver Star Club" of Carson City, Nevada played "a match base ball game" against "the Virginia Club" of Virginia City, Nevada.
Sadly, my newspaper source records neither the result nor the box score.
My guess is that Walling played left field for the Silver Stars in that game, went 0 for 4 and misplayed a pop fly into a sun double.
Donini managed the team.
