I hope Javy singlehandedly knocks us out of a protected draft pick the rest of the way.

 

So they don't sign anyone good this offseason? Weird.

Well then he has another thing to blame Theo/Jed/PTR for.

Extra incentive to sign Maeda and Lester.

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah if they lose the first round draft pick protection, the offseason plan pretty much becomes lester and/or maeda, or bust.

I have now watched 4 Javi games (2 live, 2 on TV), and he has homered in all 4. You guys should pay me to watch every game he ever plays.

 

I've seen him twice, tonight and once in Peoria a couple years ago. He won both games with a HR.

[expletive], [expletive], [expletive]. I guess that's what I get for going to bed at a decentish hour.

[Sammys Boombox]

Just woke up. I'm not even surprised.

[Banedon]

Gahhhh....went to bed after Javi's 10th inning AB...sonuva...

[George Hayduke]

JAVY!!! This day is off to a great start!

I'm out. Hopefully I'll get the alert in the morning that the Cubs won on Javy's 12th inning homer.

 

I saw the headline on mlb.com this morning and my first thought was, "did Rondon fan somehow hack into the mlb website just to troll all of us who went to bed after the 10th?"

[roadster]

Hitting a game winning hr is so javi of him

I fell asleep on the couch after the Cubs scored in the 11th thinking there would be no more Javy ABs. Woke up shortly after to see Len and JD signing off and a reply of the home run. Son of a bitch.

 

PS we are all too old on this board.

[jersey cubs fan]

I picked a hell of a night to pass out on the couch.

Fell asleep and woke up to the end of the top of the 12th with them showing a Baez replay.

[Heisenberg]

Mother fn Javy.

 

This feels like the first meaningful win in the last few years.

@ckamka: Javier Baez makes MLB Debut and hits first career HR on 3-year anniversary of Tony Campana's lone career HR (inside the park)

The Des Moines Register print deadline was just a little too early...

Darn MT/PT games. I really tried, guys. I guess I should be happy to have seen Rizzo's first homer live.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The problems with that are:

 

1) They could still sign someone. Screw the first-round pick.

 

2) Several of the players they might want to sign won't be pick-tied.

 

3) They probably weren't going to sign anyone anyway.

 

4) Worth it to not have to hear "we lost 90+ games, there's no point in trying next year, we're too far away!"
