Was Andres Blanco the "runs gloved in" guy?

 

My mind is mashed potatoes

Cesar Izturis didn't always use a glove to get it in either

Haha....I forgot about that.

If more people could do it, more people would.

 

i'm not blaming him at all, i just don't remember ever hearing about a player missing time for a divorce. i just assume that half of the team is going through a divorce at any given time. almora has had like 3 since zobrist played his last game.

I have no idea of your level of sarcasm there but I'm almost sure Almora has only been married the one time

Yeah he’s being a dick.

 

With each passing day, the likelihood of his return becomes more remote.

it was a joke about almora getting engaged to multiple women in rapid succession after he was drafted

Zobrist’s wife choosing Ben’s birthday to end he social media silence. Odd choice.

It’s the most Cubs thing ever that Bryant is still “under evaluation.”

I have to believe it would be absolutely awful to fly with a concussion. I feel like he's ok.

This one was a few hours before his birthday.

 

She made another of just herself on his actual then later deleted it after it was full of people questioning her timing of the post.

[Derwood]

She brings the term "word salad" to a whole new level

How do we make #TodayWeBe the new official Cubs hashtag.

[Hawk4Hall]

How can the Zobrist's get a divorce? I read all those stories about how deep their Christian faith is! :|

[Hawk4Hall]

She totally seems the type to live out a fake christian life only to be found she's actually a horsefeathers person.

 

Most people that wear religion on their sleeve are horsefeathers people deep down.

I dont know if I believe that. I do believe that there is a sheep mentality that happens a lot. Part of that sheep mentality is that Christians often hide their real issues because life is supposed to be great. Instead of using their spirituality to help them(which usually means some sort of confession), they prop up a false front. I also believe that most Evangelical Christians follow a more Republican doctrine than that of Christ...which seems awful to a lot of none believers who are not quite so right leaning.

 

Basically I dont think they are any worse than most people. They just arent a whole lot better off like most of them think.

Myself, I think horrible people are worse than most people.

No, I just didn't find a corroborating article from a beat writer at the time I posted it, so I was acknowledging that this was a second hand news story, that's all

for a guy who hates twitter so much you sure do twitter like a true pro

Talking more about the way that a story was posted than the actual story is the most NSBB thing ever. Never change

as to the story itself, I think it's an innocuous quote and really the only thing you can say in the situation. You have to prepare as though he will not return. I don't think Joe is breaking any news there.
