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.
will never not snicker at commentary like "both managers knew they needed length from their starters in a big way"

I don’t even know how they begin to fix this broke rear end, feast or famine team in the off-season.

Joe is going to pull Lester in the next 2 innings. Whoever comes out will give up 2 runs and that will be the game. Enjoy an extra month of rest, Cubs!


That or walk off homer to officially kick off EYBS

Because their previous starting shortstop abused his ex-wife.

JFC watching Murph ground out limply is like a second Heyward who is an enormous piece of poo poo on top of it.

Clearly the best way to fix an inconsistent lineup is with known reliable producer and stable person...

*Checks notes*

Bryce Harper?

It's probably more cool when your team has done more than muster two measly hits in six innings.

God just let this season loving die already, clean house with the coaches, and give me my fun dinger-fueled team back.
