AAA International League: Buffalo 7/12/3, Louisville 20/24/1 (yikes) The good news? The Bisons beat up on Aroldis Chapman today. The bad news? Louisville beat the snot out of every pitcher the Bisons sent out there, sans Bobby Parnell.

A report from the Washington Post surfaced that Police and FBI agents are investigating a 911 call placed at 4 a.m. Sunday from a public telephone near Times Square warning of an imminent explosion and...
Read MoreAlthough I often cringe at the MMO posts that are almost an hour-by-hour barometer of the current state of the Mets (lose a few in a row, we’re terrible/win a few in a row, we’re pennant contenders), I couldn’t resist starting to write this as Johan Santana dejectedly trudged off the mound after the lambasting the Phillies laid on him in the fourth inning tonight.
