I'm really starting to like Bryce Harper

Yeah, the kid looks like he's going to be the real deal and he's probably going to give the Mets fits for years and years to come.

Now that Chipper is going to retire, I think Bryce will fit the annoying division rival just fine. I hate him already.

I truly believe that beginning in about two years, the Mets/Nats rivalry will hit full swing and they will be the teams battling for the NL East every year for a handful of seasons.

They've been doing a pretty good job of it this year.

don't forget the Bryce Harper versus Kirk Nieuwenhuis ROY race either.

Exactly. And Gonzalez and Strasburg are trying to elbow in on Dickey's All-Star start and Cy Young award. Heck with that. The future is now. Get on board.

On board.

The NL CY Young race right now looks like Dickey, Cain, Gonzalez, Lance Lynn, and I know there was someone else I'm forgetting.

Strassburg is supposedly getting shut down at 160 innings, which if they follow through on that will take him out of contention.

[Edgy MD]

He's in the race now.

Lynn is a pretender, sez I.

I think Gonzalez should fade as well, at least to the point where he doesn't get a first place vote from anyone but the National's beat writer.

Matt Cain is the real horse here (and how smart do the Giants look forking over that huge extension to him and not to Lincecum?) And there is still time for new guys to emerge, but wouldn't it just be amazing for Dickey to hang in there?

Q: So Bryce, now that you're off to a good start in the majors, do you expect to win the batting title?

A: That's a crown question bro!



Q: And do you think that your 0-for-7 w/5 strike-outs day on Saturday will hurt your chances?

A: That's a frown question bro!

"What size shoes are those?"

"What is Mayor McCheese really like?"

"Is Emmett Kelly your role model?"

"Who was better, Bozo or Clarabelle?"

"Caruso or Lanza --- who was the better Pagliacci?"
