[Sammy Sofa]

God, outside of the Mets this season, I can't imagine watching any other team's games is this consistently brutal.

 

You sure about that one?

[BigSlick]

the boxscore is kinda funny because you got the 1-2 guys taking 4 walks and getting 2 hits combined, and then the next 3 hitters are 0-9, pretty unlucky

[Roast]

I hate having to watch this game and see our players take close pitches, that should be balls, and have to hold my breath that the ump won't call it.

[E.J.]

God, outside of the Mets this season, I can't imagine watching any other team's games is this consistently brutal.

 

You sure about that one?

 

I'm guessing Nationals and Orioles fans might think otherwise.

[Roast]

Bah. Bradley just had pretty much the same response I did.

[E.J.]

Bradley has no chance at a fastball when hitting LH. No chance at all.

[illiniguy]

God, outside of the Mets this season, I can't imagine watching any other team's games is this consistently brutal.

 

You sure about that one?

 

I'm guessing Nationals and Orioles fans might think otherwise.

The Orioles have a lot to be excited about.

[BigSlick]

You sure about that one?

Combination of high expectations and dashed hopes? He might be right. I mean sure, its pretty brutal watching the Royals (only a fool really thought they'd contend this year), Nats, Pirates, Padres etc. but none of those teams were gonna contend anyway.

 

The Cubs are the perfect storm of disappointing play

We are tied for first place.

[Soul]

I kind of like when Bradley breaks stuff and gets mad. That might be the most entertainment I've had all night.

[erik316wttn]

Daley in to pitch for Colorado

 

Richard Daley?

 

I bet he'd throw a mean spitball.

 

He'd get a dead guy to throw it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Heilman in to pitch for the CUBS

[Bote McBoteface]

Heilman in now. So we're gonna be down by 5 or so with two innings left.

[Roast]

Yeah, Heilman against these guys is not going to be fun.

[illiniguy]

Yeah Aaron Heilman. Awesome pick up this offseason.

[chuckywang]

Someone PLEASE make a waiver claim on Heilman.

[NotSoSober]

Heilman is [expletive] trash

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gonalez tripled to left center field

[illiniguy]

Someone PLEASE make a waiver claim on Heilman.

Our amazing GM would never risk that. He would send down Fox before allowing that to happen.

[Roast]

Yep.

[CHCinIC]

Yep, Heilman still sucks

[Fred Hornkohl]

Helton singled to center field , Gonzalez scored
