I'd say gently caress the Cubs, but we usually do that in the standings, so it seems redundant.

And also, gently caress the Cubs.

Go Cardinals!!

Yeah, I remember that. You don't want the pitcher spot getting so many ABs, but you also want space between them and the presumably-best hitters in the lineup.

I'm seeing some really awful tweets including Maybin, Quentin and Matt Wisler? For Kimbrel and Upton?

I don't see it on Mark Bowman's Twitter though.

I think I'm calling BS

I stand corrected. Kimbrel and Upton to the Padres per Dave O'Brien

That is seriously an awful deal for Kimbrel

Dave O'Brien confirmed it but says "More to come" hopefully as in, "They are going to spin those guys to get Mike Trout"

Nope. That's the trade. I can't even. . . . I'm stunned right now. That is FREAKING AWFUL!!!!!

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
I know this is a dumb made up media driven thing but...uhhhh

quote:

The talk is about how the Mets may have a chance this year to wrest New York’s baseball consciousness away from the Yankees, who have owned it since the dynasty days and for years before that, too. CC Sabathia isn’t buying it, though.

...

“I’m not going to sit here and start a war of words back and forth with the Mets, but I don’t see it,” the Yanks lefty says. “That’s all I got to say. I don’t see it happening. They’ve got some good young players, but … yeah, they have some good young players.”

...

“I’m just saying for every starter they have, we have the same guy who has done it before, been in World Series and won World Series games. That’s why I don’t think it’s a battle.”

Can somebody tell me what World Series games Tanaka, Eovaldi, Pineda, and Warren have pitched in, must less won?

Hopefully the Braves sent some cash to San Diego with this deal. I'd hate to think they got the better of it.

They also got some other prospects and a draft pick. That should go well with the absolute first draft pick next season that they will get because I can picture them being worse than the Phillies.

Holy crap. The Braves would've been better off just holding onto the terrible Upton contract if this is what it took to get rid of him, and this is all they got back.
