–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Why do people get their panties in such a bunch over sign stealing?\u00a0 Last night Josh Beckett<\/a><\/strong> had some choice words for the Yankees Brett Gardner<\/a><\/strong> last night after he caught him supposedly relaying signs to Mark Teixeira<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Teixeira probably had some words of his own for Gardner too after striking out that at-bat.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The San Francisco Giants are hosting a Star Wars night later this month.\u00a0 Instead of bobble-heads they are giving away replicas of Brian Wilson<\/a><\/strong> encased in carbonite-awesome<\/a>!<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mike Trout<\/a><\/strong> is boom-titties! (That one\u2019s for you Lucey.)\u00a0 Not only did he become the 9th<\/sup> youngest player to ever have a two-homer game, the kid was hitting balls that were not even close to the strike zone.\u00a0 We had him ranked as our No. 2 prospect<\/a> and he is proving to everyone that he is well deserving of such a dubious honor.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In 13 professional innings this summer, Sonny Gray<\/a><\/strong> has allowed only 1 run.\u00a0 The kid is sick nasty.\u00a0 If you get a chance, watch him pitch and notice how fast the guy moves down the mound.\u00a0 Surreal speed there, which allows such a small guy to have such devastating stuff.\u00a0 Can\u2019t wait to see how quick he makes it up with the big club.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Watching Francisco Cervelli<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s first at-bat last night was pure comedy.\u00a0 Beckett broke him off back-to-back hammers on the inside part of the plate and made him look like one of those sucky kids in little league who have never seen a curveball before.\u00a0 Cervelli even gave a look at Beckett after the second curveball that said everything.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
