Obviously to hide it under the headline grabs from Trump's daily new "brilliant" comments made and the Olympics.

 

Go step on another tree stump

 

Prince Fielder?s health fails him in MLB career full of personality and power

Fielder still getting paid

 

Hory...that's alot of money to be paid to do nothing. I wish I was a MLB player.

 

Best contracts but team control for years

 

Rangers killin' it

 

Marlins fading

 

mets on the up and up.. LETS GO METS

 

cespedes is having a game! go ahead 2 run HR and then threw that fool out at 2nd by a mile! Man I love this guy!

 

Mets just moved into second wild card. go baby go!

 

Fish flamed out big time

 

we got this! What a run. I was hoping you'd pop in here! Mets fans

 

Pirates

another 20 years of suck on the horizon...

 

Well, certainly didn't see the Indians losing 2/3 of their playoff rotation right at the end of the year. They're still a good team, but this is going to be tough.

 

Red Sox are who I'm betting on getting to the show. The NL I'm not really sure. The Cubs can be beat, My mets swept them last year, so we will see

 

getting real tired of this Jay Bruce idiot. What a waste. He's done shit all since coming to the Mets

 

reyes and cabrera on the other hand! Damn what a win last night!

 

I haven't said much but, seriously, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop with these Cubs.

 

Rangers taking it all, allimsayin

 

It should be interesting if the mets get into wildcard and win the wildcard as we swept the cubs last year. I know it was last year and the teams are different but the mets are hot and I'm sure that will linger in the cubbies minds

 

Jose Fernandez

Very sad news

 

Sad day.

 

 

Woke up to this yesterday. Very sad for our Cuban community and he personified rags to riches but in the Cuban style that many families here went through in escaping Cuba in a boat. This guy unknowingly saved his mom's life in one of the 4 attempts to get to America by boat. Brought his grandmother over also and was expecting a baby with his gf. Plus as a baseball player holy shit. This guy was on his way and I loved that with all at stake he still had fun and loved the game. One of my friends was close to one of the other victims also.

 

This from the Brewers camp honoring Jose Fernandez. Bob Uecker, Hank Aaron, Robin Yount and Bud Selig. Very classy.

 

I was very pleased with a lot of the tributes and condolences paid by other organizations. One big baseball family

 

 

What a tragedy

 

Jose was suppose to pitch yesterday but got pushed to Monday vs the Mets as his last outing he threw a lot of pitches so he was given an extra days rest! Cant help but think if he was in his normal scheduled start he probably wouldnt even have been on that boat that night!

I was looking forward to watching him pitch versus my mets tonight. He was so awesome to watch on that mound. Reminded me a lot of Pedro. Still had a whole lifetime ahead of him.

I hope they have a very nice ceremony for him at the game tonight

Jose

 

What upsets me more are the children that were fans of his and how they're upset they lost their Pedro Martinez or whatever player we grew up admiring at their age. I think the closest thing to this might be when Roberto Clemente died but he already had a long career and I don't think I was alive when he died.

 

I know your a Miami guy, whats the feel/vibe of the city right now?

I can't help but think its affected a lot of ppl

 

Being that the vast majority of Miami is Cuban, it's really sad. My co-workers aren't really talking about it but a lot of them aren't Cuban. However people with older Cuban parents or younger children are really affected. Dan Le Batard was interviewed on Sportscenter this morning and had to stop because he couldn't stop crying. He was mostly affected since his mom was a big fan of Fernandez and she was really upset as she was also one who escaped Cuba and still has relatives there.

 

Having to live in South Florida for the majority of my life, This hit hard, Jose and Stanton would be the only reason why i would go to a Marlins game. But beyond baseball, Jose is the role model you would want any kid to look up to. Like Doom said, his obstacles defecting from Cuba and not having his grandmother not being at his games. Its just really hard to see that he is passed on. I am still in shock as we speak and only could imagine what his whole family is going through right now.. His passion for the game and smile will sorely be missed..

 

Damn man. Im not sure how I feel about the game tonight . Of course I want the Mets to win but id be happy if the Marlins got a W too

Ive been reading that they may vote him for the NL Cy Young! That would be amazing. Jose was certainly my favourite pitcher other than Thor but he was a lot funner to watch thats for sure.

 

Way too early to go for such a player in JF...

 

that ceremony was tough to watch.

Gotta love Dee Gordon! That was truly amazing to see

 

I couldn't watch the game as I had a prior engagement but I saw the video of Dee, truly magical.

 

Marlins did a great job honoring him, definitely a sad story

 

props to the Mets too for showing a lot of class last night. Very proud of my team. Even though we got the loss, it was Jose's night

 

The Fish/Mets game was pretty special...you'd need to be a heartless @$$ not feel a lump watching that.

Definitely a memorable game.
