Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Marty is an angry old coot that Cincy fans somehow love

Harry, the last several years was an angry, old, dithering coot that most Cubs fans adored.

Harry was no where near as spiteful as Marty has been. He’s a total jerk to opposing teams fans - especially the Cubs fans. He’s a dick.

Cubs Fans "are far away the most obnoxious fans of any team in baseball"

 

 

 

Thom is my favorite announcer to listen to when the Reds are losing and in the basement. His misery is just so delightful to hear.

wait. what? did he ever play second as a major leaguer? (just checked and no)

 

this seems extremely good for us, who want to see the brewers have terrible defense

Yeah, especially after watching Murphy last year I'm very skeptical of this idea that you can just magically make anyone into a 2B through the magic of shifting. I mean it's probably fine late in games when their pen is striking out 30% of the guys that come up, but it's tempting fate to experiment with this given the makeup of their starting rotation IMO.

Shouldn't this thread be updated to something, like, "Brutal NL Central knockdown street brawl to the very bitter end (between everyone but the Cubs)?"

Fixed.

Fangraphs initial playoff/division odds are out:

 

https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds

 

Cubs - 49%

Cards - 27%

Brewers - 13%

Reds - 8%

Pirates - 4%

 

Honestly I think those are a tad light on the Reds and Pirates.

Breaking: Cubs probably not going to win division

kyle being back on the cubs suck bandwagon makes it so clear to me that they're going to be good again

I kinda figured they'd go the "horsefeathers defense, hit dongs" route and start Dietrich in his place. Either way, tough break.

[SouthSideRyan]

They'll bring up Senzel by the end of April

Why does it take two days for someone to bring him his passport?

[Brian]

it's exhibition games tonight and tomorrow, if it was regular season I'm sure his passport would get to him. A conspiracy theorist might think he "forgot" his passport.

So what you're saying is that Ryan Braun is banned from Canada?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

well he sure can't rely on FedEx to get his passport to him
