Blame David wright

[Post Count Padder]

Actually, speaking of Mark Reynolds...remember when he got off to an awesome start and some thought maybe he turned it around?

 

He is 0 for his last 19 and in his last 110 at bats, he has 50 Ks and a .471 OPS.

Why the [expletive] is David Wright in the competition to begin with?

Why the [expletive] is David Wright in the competition to begin with?

 

Because it's in Citi Field.

That's really dumb, he has 13 HR this year and has never really been a premier power guy. But I guess I get it....

He was a 30 HR guy before Citi Field opened (or at least that's what I hear people say when talking about the Mets, which is never anymore).

Here's Elvis Andrus [expletive] with Beltre again:

I really hope he pulls this clownery in a close, late innings situation and somehow a drop/error ensues and costs them the game.

Man I'd love to see the Chicago media and fanbase's reaction to Castro and Ramirez doing things like that.

 

Personally, I love it.

If that did happen though, it would be hilarious.

And they're trying to avoid having what happened to Billy Butler here last year happen again.

Great article on the history of the George Brett pine tar incident.

Why can't Castro at least be entertaining when he's having a miserable year like Andrus? Starlin looks like he hates being out there most of the time.

 

What I'm getting at is that Starlin Castro sucks at everything.

Really? Seems pretty stupid.

Paying to watch people play sports is pretty stupid too, but it's fun.
