Kinsler had four of the Rangers' league-best 27 hits. Mike Napoli and Nelson Cruz also had four hits as all the Rangers starters had at least two except for third baseman Chris Davis, who was hitless in six at-bats.

Michael Young also went deep and had three RBIs for Texas, which had 18 runs by the end of the fifth inning.

Things were so one-sided that Michael Cuddyer moved from right field to the mound to pitch the eighth for the Twins. Cuddyer gave up a double to Napoli, a bloop single to Mitch Moreland, and walked Kinsler with one out to load the bases.

Wow!

Aaaaaaaand CC perfect through 5.1 and rain delay.

Fuck CC.

Just wait until there's a comebacker and then distract him with a doughnut. No mo' no-no.

It took 2 rain delays to break the perfect game.

15-5 with a 2.56 in the AL East.

Beast mode.

That is some losing streak by the Mariners. Mets are still hovering around .500 and I guess Beltran will be a goner by the end of the series with the Reds.

I'm rooting for the Pirates this year for Doc Emrick.

My god that call to end the Braves/Pirates game was typical ump bullshit.

Jerry Meals with a lame call

That goes WAYYYY beyond typical. That's easily the 2nd worst call I've seen in baseball, ever (behind the Joyce Galarraga call), but this one is so obviously in bad faith (19th inning, dude probably wants to go hit up the strip club) it might be the worst.

We're not talking about two rubbish teams either, both teams are right n the playoff hunt. In fact, the Pirates are only 1 game out. If the Pirates finish 1 game out, then fans should burn Selig's house down. Actually they should do it anyway.

White Sox and Jays with a trade. There is talk that the Jays will flip Jackson over to St. Louis for Colby Rasmus.
