I guess there's no reason to "gently caress the Angels" right now, no, what the hell, gently caress the Angels. And gently caress the Cubs, while I'm at it. And Boston. Will someone deal with the Red Sox? Yankees. I'm looking at you.

In BOD we trust

reading the mirabelli thing immediately made me think of the dougies going deep stories and then the last line of the oral history:

quote:

Mirabelli: And then we win to cap it all off. No passed balls. It was in our grasp the whole time. It didn’t seem like anything. The only thing that could’ve been better is if I had gone deep.

Ask me how to run a good team into the ground.
Doug Mirabelli is probably my most hated Padre player; which is kind of hilarious considering his irrelevance in the grand scheme of things. Jim Edmonds and Ryan Ludwick come pretty close though

They can't hit at all. Chase Headley has 0 extra base hits.

The pitching hasn't been great either.

They are old and bad and without a ton of reinforcements on the way.

Speaking of Chicago, Chris Sale is the first in the majors to 6 wins after pitching 5.1 innings and giving up only 1 run. His ERA sits at 1.66. White Sox now 18-8!
