the centerpieces of a June 15, 1964, six-player deal: Brock, Jack Spring and Paul Toth were traded from the Chicago Cubs to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for Broglio, Bobby Shantz, and Doug Clemens.

MLB - Where a pitcher could face one batter with a 7-3 lead in the 5th inning and get a W.
It's a joke.

Welp, it was an accidental overdose..

A medical examiner in Texas has ruled that Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs died from an accidental overdose of drugs and alcohol.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office said in a report released Friday that Skaggs had the powerful painkillers fentanyl and oxycodone, along with alcohol, in his system.

The autopsy listed the cause of death as a "mixed ethanol, fentanyl and oxycodone intoxication with terminal aspiration of gastric contents," which essentially means Skaggs choked on his vomit while under the influence.

I had a long winded response and deleted it. No one cares what I have to say.

Terrible day to be a Brewers fan. I truly thought they were going to get a W.C. spot and perhaps even find a way to win the division. Will be interesting to see if/how they rally together.
On another note, last night proved once again - the Flubs are JUNK!

Good, open article about Duffy and all he's been through.

He mentions how insanely rude the 2010 staff was to him.
Greinke
Chen
Davies
Bannister
O'Sullivan
Hochevar

Shields arrived in 2013 and changed all of it for him. Crazy he still has had 3 panic attacks this year.

Maddon managed his last game at Wrigley in a Flubs uniform.
Epic fail job today. AGAIN. Can't blame him for not wanting to pitch Kimbrel after yesterday's debacle but but but. Who the fuck knows but?
Disaster season and I have a feeling Theo may jump ship.

Boo Yankees, Cardinals, Dodgers, in that order.

Also LOL to the Cubs and missing with their payroll.

How upset would MLB and the network/s be if Tampa Bay played Minnesota or Oakland for the ALCS and a grand total of 1,879 people other than die hard Rays, Twins, As fans watched all the games?

As an impartial fan I'm rooting for a Yankees / Dodgers W.S. despite the fact that if the Nats make the W.S. I could/would attend the home games.

Am I the only one who watched an epic post season baseball game last night?
Craziest thing of all was when I was on a chain text message with an Indonesian guy and an Indian guy who is a Brewers fan. I had a good feeling I knew what was going to happen.

Indo guy - "Brewers looking good."

Indian guy - "Still need 5 outs"
"2 run lead is nothing for the Nats"

Gutter - "Nice jinx job Leo. The 2003 Cubs say thanks".

Well, lookie what happened next.

Right after the 3 runs were scored.

Indian guy - "yeah seriously"
"Oh well, they weren't going to beat the Dodgers anyway"

Indo guy - "It's over"?

Indian guy - "Yeah, thanks Leo you jinxed it"

Indo guy - "lol. cheese and rice. You hang out with Gutter too long"
"Was (I think he meant is) it over? Haven't seen the end of the game yet".

Indian guy - "Will be in 3 outs"
"Now 2 outs"

Game ends and immediately after.....

Indo guy - "Wow, damn...... sorry v-dog."

Indian guy - "Over"
"Brewers team was better team for 8 1/3 innings (I think he meant 7 1/3 innings) but it was a 27 out game (actually only 24 for the Nats)"

Gutter - "Grisham pulled a Bucker".

Indian guy - "Yep, whatever he's a rookie"

Indo guy - "That's unfortunate."

Indian guy - "Shouldn't have been in that situation.... that HBP was clearly a foul ball"
"Hit the knob first before it hit his wrist and bounced to his shoulder"
"If it hit directly in (on) the wrist first he would have been in a lot of pain"
"98 mph direct hit fastballs on the wrist hurt"

Gutter - "Probably right about the HBP but who is to say he wouldn't have walked, or gotten a base hit, or hit a HR? Well, thankfully it was a WC game and not game 7 of the WS because if it was Grisham would be done as a Brewer. Hader needs a haircut. Sorry Vroom Vroom! Tough loss!"

Cards putting up a TD, extra point, and a field goal in the first inning.

Reading that he was texting Kay for drugs when Kay was in the hospital recovering from an overdose tells me someone/many people knew Skaggs had a major problem and was in deep trouble.
The fact that someone/people affiliated with the Angles still chose to be enablers is sickening.
I have an old school Rally Monkey shirt - I'm tossing it in the garbage as soon as I end this post.

Horrible situation - yes I agree that it looks like a number of people not just knew there was a very serious problem, but enabled it.

And this is going to cost the Angels dearly.
