So if I’m looking at this correctly, the implication in that if Khris Davis is still playing in 95 years, he’ll bat .244???

Is breaking a 4-pitcher no-no in the 9th inning of a 3-0 game via a bunt single still considered bush league if it literally happens in a bush league?

A 3-0 game and no outs isn't some kind of special done deal, you dorks, and especially not if it's taken you 4 horsefeathering pitchers to get to this point! Yard Goats are apparently the worst type of goat, which is impressive since goats suck.

Who wants to see a video featuring Cub prospect legend Hak Ju Lee and Cubs legend Eddie Butler putting his own spin on Ted Lilly's best moment as a Cub?

This is a few days old, but I went to a Mexico City baseball game, and Tony Campana misplayed this into an inside-the-park homer, the first in the new Mexico City stadium.

Fun fact: Campana has a .853 OPS in the Mexican League this year. Of course, league average is .868.

 

Funner fact: Felix Pie currently has a .459/.546/.823/1.369 line in the Mexican League this year.

First round of AL All-Star voting is out....and Tommy LaStella would be the starting 2B in the AL if voting ended today.

I would probaby vote for him right now...Maybe Lowe. LaStella only has 5 doubles

[squally1313]

Good for him. Great story for a dude who seems to be really liked among the players and media.

 

Apropos of nothing, here's a picture of Bryan Lahair.

white sox celebrating 40th anniversary of "disco demolition" night

white sox celebrating 40th anniversary of "disco demolition" night

 

Reading that article is the first time I've ever seen the viewpoint that hating on disco was considered an afront against African Americans, Hispanics, and Homosexuals. The only people I ever associated with disco was milquetoast white people in leisure suits. I realize a lot of disco-era songs became anthemic for a lot of cultures, but I never thought hating disco was because of that, I just assumed people hated it because it was nails on a chalkboard to them.

 

Is this a popular viewpoint that I've just been completely oblivious to or is this some old unpopular hot take that's being resurrected in times of heightened sensitivity?
