i was expecting the cubs to be bad this year and the rotation to be a tire fire but the fact that Kyle Hendricks has completely fallen apart is absolutely crushing. I blame the Cubs for acquiring his evil Brewers doppelganger and throwing off his Humours.

I don't care if Garrett was screaming curses at Rizzo after striking him out, Javy should chill and just try to hit another dinger off him then do a big bat flip. The Cubs are bad, they don't need to be red asses. On the other hand, the picture of Javy giving the finger is extremely funny.

a major league baseball player should be able to handle having another player yell at him that he is a motherfucker even if that is rude without anyone trying to physically fight him, is my opinion.

Fucks sake, I just want to watch a group of young, fun, good baseball players hit the poo poo out of baseballs. :smith:

I guess the silver lining is that TLR is apparently already losing the clubhouse so maybe the Sox sucking more will foster enough discontent to full on mutiny his piece of poo poo rear end out of the org.

i am very upset that i will once again not be able to drink beer and watch luis bop in person, what a rough year for the sox.

the cubs and dodgers just played an insane, epic 9-inning game that was considered "extras" because it was the second game of a double-header. Probably the best ad for the new formats, it was insane and intense for 3 full innings with a bunch of last-second homers and gutsy pitching performances. I'm still not sold.

in my opinion it should be ILLEGAL for mark prior to make mound visits at wrigley field without the broadcast giving me WRITTEN WARNING that he is the dodger's pitcher coach before every series

Yeah, plantar fasciitis is a degenerative disease: It does not get better over time, it gets worse, especially as you continue to put stress on the plantar fascia. I mean, that's the same condition that ultimately derailed Donovan McNabb and put a premature end to his career.

has preston wilson ever addressed the controversy that he broke up a carlos zambrano no-hitter in the 8th inning where big z had 5 RBIs as well and denied me the opportunity to see a carlos zambrano no-hitter in person?

i should add that i was joking about preston wilson's hit being controversial, he got a clean hit, i'm just annoyed that i missed out on the no-no and probably no one remembers that at all other than zambrano, wilson, and me.

i am not keen to see pujols face the cubs if he's on the roster the next time they play, i don't care if he is washed, that stance in the batter's box will never not terrify me. i'm sure he's got at least one more moonshot against the cubs in him.

envisioning a scenario where it's like a 14 inning game and the bench is all used up and the dodgers have to start the inning with pujols at second.

the cubs can't keep starting trevor williams. they're was a reason he was available on the scrap heap. They should just stretch out Thompson and see what he's got, he'll probably get shelled a little bit but williams has nothing left and i don't want to see moldy rear end alec mills doing his bespectacled eddie harris impression every five days.
