Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
The Diamondbacks may actually be worse than the Braves somehow.

It would be cool if the Cubs could not drop yet another series to the loving Padres.

So the Padres have Edwin Jackson and Clayton Richard, and they traded Rizzo to us.

Then talking poo poo about Alexei's OPS (4th worst in the league), then self-owning that the person one spot above him is Heyward.

E: Any other pitcher and Jankowski's a goner.

Anyone who's mad about Torres getting traded for Chapman needs to realize that he was position blocked by the guy who's hit 4 homers in the past 4 games.

You can emptyquote this back at me when Chapman's closing out the Cards for the third game in a row in October, but you could have traded Torres for someone who's not a seemingly-unrepentant domestic-abusing gun enthusiast.

For clarity's sake, I'm also mad that we got so little for Shelby. One season of Heyward was better than Shelby provided and he was blocking Martinez but when I look at what Atlanta got for him afterwards I'm annoyed.

I'd say "mourning" more than "honoring", but to-may-to, to-mah-to. Pretty sure I vocally called Taveras a murderer, also. I mean, under US law, anyway. Felony murder and whatnot. I didn't study Dominican criminal law, sadly. You'd think they'd teach that, particularly in Anheuser Busch hall.

But yes, gently caress Taveras and gently caress Chapman.
