I know what you actually mean, but it's worth pointing out that team won 97 games and somehow actually underperformed their Pythagorean, so it definitely didn't underachieve.

He's like a handsome Bruno Mars.

Looking at the lineups reminds me of what the Cubs lineup should be in a couple years.

aww starlin and babby starlin

How does Bautista get more votes than Trout?

[Guest]

I knew this already, but Dave Winfield is a big, big man.

[mul21]

How does Bautista get more votes than Trout?

 

Because his nickname is Joey Bats and he hits a million HRs. Duh.

[mul21]

I think I would be happy if Puig were to be solely responsible for ending the Cardinals season every year that the Cubs aren't in it. Him and his glorious mohawk along with his flair for the dramatic will make losing because of him unbearable for TBFIB.

[Cubswin11]

Stanton kinda has a tiny face.
