He went for 50 cents (minimum bid is 25 cents) in my fantasy league's auction and that's looking like an overpay.

Although the brewers have won 8 straight they still suck and I can't wait for them to finish last in their division
I would rather see you lose than win myself

@MLB: Of course Raul Ibanez's 2,000th career hit was a game-tying, 3-run HR with his team down to their last out. Shocking:

I was just thinking about this, but all the moral outrage being directed towards the 76ers should really be directed towards the Astros and their treatment of George Springer. Last year, he couldn't be brought up because they needed to keep a bunch of stiffs on their 40 man (that they ended up dropping like hot potatoes in the offseason). This season, he's being held down because of a mediocre spring, and the fact he refused to sign a long-term deal with them.

Dee Gordon stole second base while the pitcher was holding the ball.

Interactive map on baseball's fan borders

Fun, because the Mets don't show up on the national map at all.
