Good morning, campers!
Here are recent links that will keep those dreaded TPS reports from being sent in on time:
- Via Hardball Talk, what a wild few days for pitchers at Comerica Park! On Friday, Tigers battery mates Brad Penny and Victor Martinez engaged in a heated conversation near the mound, then yesterday Angels starter Jered Weaver, while locked in an exciting duel with Justin Verlander, got ejected for throwing at Alex Avila’s head.
- Joe Posnanski discusses the greatness of Barry Bonds through the 1998 season.
- Just how poor is the Dodgers attendance this season, asks Steve Dilbeck of the Los Angeles Times?
- Ted Berg bids farewell to Carlos Beltran.
- Home plate umpire Jerry Meals became this year’s Jim Joyce with his controversial, game-ending call in the 19th inning in Atlanta. Pat Lackey of the Where Have You Gone, Andy Van Slyke blog shares his thoughts on the play at home plate and instant replay. He vents at Pirates skipper Clint Hurdle’s in-game decisions too.
SB Nation’s Rob Neyer is no fan of Clint Hurdle’s maneuvers either.
Have a walk-off week!
