Compared to previous years, the AL isn't nearly as strong. There are about 4-5 good teams and 4-5 awful teams in the league. The other 20 teams are reveling in mediocrity. I don't know, watching him, it seems like he's lost his 'it' factor. He has no excitement whatsoever anymore. It's like the Mets clubhouse depresses him or something. Fair point. He's pitching more like a #2 or #3 starter and not a top flight ace. Frankly, I haven't been completely satisfied with his performance this season. He's allowing too many baserunners and has been victimized by the long ball. I wasn't here when it happened but there is no excuse for allowing a grand slam to an AL pitcher. But yeah, the experts saying Santana is in decline is way too premature.

Well... believe it or not, some NL teams actually have a winning record against the AL. Like the Mets 9-6 (6 of those games were the Yankees which happens every year) Reds are also 9-6. But the 1st place teams? Cubs DBacks are 6-9. And the biggest frauds of all, the Sillies at 4-11

Fluke drive in a fluke game. Watching a superior Greatics team absolutely paste the Fake Show in 6 makes me think the Super Bowl should at least be a best of 3 series.

At this stage of the game do you still have the balls for a repeat of our previous avatar bet? Considering the shitability factor of your team, i'll understand if you turtle.

I already made plans for July 4th a few days prior without knowing the pitching matchup. Fuck. Only way I'll be able to attend the game is if I can convince my wife to come with me. Yeah, that's not happening. Since the Mets have owned Kid Cole and King Johan schooled your lineup the first time around, I'm surprised you're even considering another bet . Poor StarRider is just a glutton for punishment. If you lose, are you going to pay up like a real man? I need assurance. Hell, my eyes are still hurting from looking at that microscopic Johan avi.

He's the best pitcher in the history of the world!!!!! And the Mets beat the Phillies back in mid-April when the Phillies were under .500, so for sure the same thing will happen now!
