[Sammy Sofa]

I'm going. Give me ideas for some kind of insulting sign I can make that makes Theo cry over not signing Tanaka.

[Guest]

I think something about him failing to sign him, having no honor, and seppuku maybe?

HORRY COW

A bunch of old ass planes bombing a picture of PTR.

[Sammy Sofa]

These are all good ideas, plus I'd want to incorporate Matsuzaka somehow.

 

Ultimately running onto the field naked and giving him the double bird might be the most succinct option.

How the [expletive] did we catch Tanaka again? [expletive].

I'd complain about bad luck, but given this organization's focus for 2014 it's probably closer to good luck

[PackLandVA]

Can we just fast forward to Wednesday.

Just make a sign with a picture of Shark and under it, it says "0-4 1.62 ERA. This could have been you!"

[DiamondMind]

It's almost like they actually signed him. Almost.

[Sosa21MVP]

Well, I'll be watching just due to the rarity of the Yankees coming to Wrigley but [expletive] Tanaka again omgwtfbbq!

I hope Soriano gets a good reaction. I still love him. He had every reason to mail it in and he never did, continued to play hard every year, and always had a good attitude about things.

[pitchcs]

I will clap for Soriano.

 

Looking forward to just sitting outside tonight and hopefully keeping this one close. Oh and go quick so I can watch end of Heat/Pacers.

[DiamondMind]

Great way to start the series!
