This is insane. 41 road games, 17 on west coast and only 22 home games left

 

For comparison's sake the Cubs have 34 home games left, 28 road games, and 7 on the west coast

Alright then.

 

 

Curious is the dirt manicured differently that you don't see the dirt and stuff flying up like you used to?

 

My guess is just from my memory of playing infield as a kid when it would get real hot and the dirt would almost get sandy and semi-deep, opposed to watered and a little bit harder. When it is semi deep, standing dirt it would get "dusty" much more often.

also have you guys noticed that the games seem to be way more colorful than they were 100 years ago?

Cards fans have noticed and they aren't happy

 

That's even funnier when you take it as double entendre . =D>

Benintendi is getting called up tomorrow

 

I found this mildly surprising since he isn't exactly tearing up AA. He hasn't been bad by any stretch, just so so well that you jump him a level to get him to the majors.

votto isn't wrong to be pissed, but that's a dick move. Full disclosure: i hate votto.

 

ETA: I just saw Votto apologized and gave dude a ball. "dick move" retracted.

it was never a dick move

 

 

maybe im sensitive because of the bartman thing, but players throwing tantrums over that is weak. Hold it together.

Tantrum?

Tantrum = "an uncontrolled outburst of anger and frustration, typically in a young child" so, sure.

Fans begging for balls suck

 

Wait. What am I missing? The fan wasn't requesting a ball. It appeared to be coming toward his head.
