ENEMY OF MY ENEMY

The #Brewers used the last 10 days to prove they are superior to the #Cubs in almost every facet of the game.Pete Crow-Armstrong's heroics might be the #Cubs best hope in a suddenly perilous playoff race because the bullpen has proven they're NOT going to pull their weight.Sam Antonacci and the #WhiteSox might be showing signs they're feeling the pressure as the race tightens for the division crown.

In the least surprising move of MLB Trade Deadline 2026, the #Tigers sent Tarik Skubal to the #Dodgers for a hefty package of prospects, seemingly pissing off the entire baseball world. Could the #Brewers have saved the planet from evil Dodger domination by simply being willing to include Logan Henderson in a package for Skubal?Jed Hoyer bolstered the #Cubs depleted rotation, bullpen, and bench, but was that enough to challenge for the NL pennant, let alone the World Series?Chris Getz attempted to address all the #WhiteSox key positions of need, but are Luis Castillo, Brenton Doyle, and Joey Bart even close to filling those holes?https://enemyball.com/

#Tigers two-time reigning Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal took issue with #WhiteSox wand-wielding Mike Vasil and the dark arts of sign stealing. With 13 pitchers now on the IL, the #Cubs inexplicably found a way to beat the #Brewers in a potentially season-saving series in Milwaukee. Miguel Vargas, Dillon Dingler, Jackson Chourio, and Pete Crow-Armstrong all had tremendous months of June, but who was our ultimate BADASS?https://enemyball.com/

Now that the #WhiteSox are legit contenders, how "aggressive" will GM Chris Getz really be going after the biggest names in the trade market?Despite a solid start to the month, have the #Tigers dug a hole too deep to recover from, even with a now healthy Tarik Skubal?Pete Crow-Armstrong, completing his reverse cycle at 1B, only to be immediately picked off, is a perfect metaphor for his mercurial, yet frustrating career so far. #CubsAlex Bregman is surprisingly average, but that's certainly "terrible" in his mind and for any player paid $35M per season. Things are so good in Milwaukee that #MLB couldn't decide which #Brewers breakout star, Jacob Misiorowski or Jackson Churio, had a better week. https://enemyball.com/

#WhiteSox sweep hapless #Tigers but lose Mune Murakami before the toughest stretch of the season. Should the #Brewers trade Jesús Made for Tarik Skubal?It's time for the #Cubs to take advantage of a ridiculously weak June schedule.

But the Tigers? Not so much. https://enemyball.com/

Maybe the MLBPA will be better off with new leadership, considering the horrific judgment ex-president Tony Clark showed when he hired his sister-in-law, whom he was also BANGING, all while embezzling funds (allegedly, of course). Being forced to pay Tarik Skubal an extra $13M didn't stop the #Tigers from going full send on 2026 by signing Framber Valdez for $115M AND beloved legend Justin Verlander for another $13M.The #WhiteSox made multiple headlines for mispeaking, misspelling, and misremembering their own history, offending a Hall of Famer and fans alike.Add the ominous "Enjoy The Season" to "Biblical Loses" and "Breaking Even" to #Cubs owner Tom Ricketts' list of unfortunate and infamous quotes.

Despite popular belief, bad journalism, or urban legend, there’s nothing new or illegal about the ‘torpedo’ bats the #Yankees are using to obliterate baseballs. A hot 4-1 start for the #SFGiants is only good for 3rd place in the ridiculous National League West.

ESPN's E60 examines the legal case to give Jim Joyce some peace and Armando Galarraga credit for his perfect game. With all due respect to the prodigious Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani's grand entrance to the exclusive 40/40 Club earns our Badass of the Week. ⁠⁠MajorLeagueAholes.com

After a historic losing streak and falling 100 games below .500 in less than two seasons, the #WhiteSox finally put Pedro Grifol out of his misery. #Cubs sweep the Crosstown Series and find themselves on the verge of playoff conversation. Blake Snell quiets critics by making it past the 8th inning for the first time in his career and tosses another No-No of the Week. After failing to reach the ultimate goal despite every advantage, does Jim Leyland deserve to have his number retired by the #Tigers? ⁠MajorLeagueAholes.com

Much like the soulless undead, the #SFGiants, #Tigers, #WhiteSox, and #Cubs are limping and lurching past the 2024 Trade Deadline and into a post-apocalyptic final two months of the season. MajorLeagueAholes.com

After a three-month hiatus, we make our triumphant return... with a VENGEANCE! If the #Tigers actually do the unthinkable and trade Tarik Skubal, Scott Harris had fucking better land the motherload of big-league-ready, future All-Star-level talent. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed with the Motor City version of Nike's ill-fated City Connect uniforms. Comcast, Bally Sports, and MLB combined forces to earn our Asshole of the Week (Year?) dishonor as millions of fans across the country cannot watch their local teams on TV. A relatively easy second-half schedule should give #SFGiants fans some hope for a turnaround. The Craig Counsell Effect certainly hasn't turned out to be what the #Cubs thought it would be. When will Pete Crow-Armstrong stop swinging for the fences and focus on getting on base where he creates havoc for the opposition? Is it really the right time for the #WhiteSox to trade Garrett Crochet and/or Luis Robert Jr.?
