Hopefully the Red Sox pick Papelbon up and he ruins their season.

I'm down for that!

Indians prospect Francisco Mejia extends MiLB season-high hit streak to 50 games...

The longest hitting streak in modern minor league baseball history ended on Saturday night.

But...
Then, with the swipe of an official scorer’s eraser and the letters D-O-U-B-L-E being written, it picked up right where it left off.


Cleveland Indians catching prospect Francisco Mejia entered Saturday’s action with a 49-game hitting streak. The streak dates back to May 27. It covers Mejia’s promotion to the Advanced A Lynchburg Hillcats. It even survived a vetoed trade to the Milwaukee Brewers, which would have seen Mejia swapped with three other prospects for Jonathan Lucroy.

Judge is a huge guy he can crush the ball, he is kind of Stanton.

Man I hate the Yankees, I hope this isn't a trend.

unreal. crazy how so many guys hit Homer's in their first at bats

[BarkingToad]

Stanton will likely miss the rest of the season.

Cubs bullpen blows it. This team is not winning the WS.

hell of a streak on any level of ball

[Chi_archie]

Woah I was not aware of that streak

[EmpireMaker]

That's a great streak, I want to see that play to see if I think the scorer is giving him charity or not.

[BigSpoon]

I hear A-Rod is very available...

Yep and they want him

Streak ended for real yesterday.

Cleveland Indians prospect Francisco Mejia had his 50-game hit streak snapped after going 0 for 3 with a walk Sunday.

Me too... I'm leaning a gift was given...

[Cross]

Nice work Francisco, what an amazing unknown streak!

[El Nino]

I hope A-Fraud goes to the Marlins and hits 0 HR's for the rest of the season. Would be fantastic.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

agree

I think Marlins would be foolish to add him to the squad

unless he was willing to mentor the youngsters and be happy with a pinch hit appearance every couple of games

[LT Profits]

A-Rod has no intentions of playing this year, even with the Marlins playing 10 minutes from his home. He wants to enjoy family life for now, which is understandable.

But would he ditch the Yankee advisory gig to play for someone else next year?

I wouldn't be surprised if he came back with a contender if anyone wanted him, I'm sure he'd like to get to 700 HRs.

Cubs have activated RHP Trevor Cahill to start the first game of today's doubleheader against Milwaukee. As he's the designated 26th player for the twinbill, no corresponding move is necessary.

Giants: 9-19 since All-Star break, worst in MLB; MLB-best 57-33 before break

Yanks getting every penny they can from A-Rod....
Alex Rodriguez signed 400 items yesterday for Steiner Sports from his final day as a Yankees player last Friday

Cubs rolling right along with the doubleheader sweep today .

Joe Maddon looks like a genius w the Cubs.

[Otters27]

Cubs rolling right along with the doubleheader sweep today .

Brewers bats get 1 run in 18 innings. Lucky to get the one in the final inning.

Imagine if Heyward ever figures it out

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Imagine if Heyward ever figures it out

only thing that worries me about the Cubs is that they are streaky

better hope they don't hit a lull during the playoffs

[EmpireMaker]

Imagine if Heyward ever figures it out

He strikes out way too much and I don't have any confidence that he can fix that.

[EmpireMaker]

the only thing that will stop the Cubs this season is if they get some pitching injuries, their starters have been extremely healthy this season so far
