Weird start time.

Yeah... WTF?

[jersey cubs fan]

Weird start time.

 

Yeah, it's a getaway game for both teams, but they also both have an off day tomorrow. I guess 4pm is somewhat normal to a California audience though, since that is when most east coast games start for them.

Dumb.

[Schwarber Fan]

Man, I really wish there was a youtube mash-up of some of the clown shoes things Josh Hamilton has done in the OF.

I really think the Cubs should take a serious look at Sweeney.

Why is Hollandsworth in the booth?

Why is Hollandsworth in the booth?

 

If the question is actually why isn't JD in the booth, he's attending his daughter's graduation.

 

If the question is why Hollandsworth is in the booth, I don't have a good answer.

[Schwarber Fan]

All the good vibes are completely gone. Amazing how fast they came and went.

It's a small consolation that the Sox just blew a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the 14th inning to Seattle. The silence on the broadcast is deafening.

Patrick Mooney looks awkward as hell and he isn't even 1/10 as awkward looking as most sports writers

Wait, what?

 

They went all those innings with 0 runs and then that happened? Baseball is [expletive] crazy.

 

 

 

I was paying attention to this game because I couldn't get a damn win out of Iwakuma.
