Former Cubs

[Ding Dong Johnson]

The last season I played of The Show a couple years ago I beefed up Nicky Two Strikes just for kicks and gigs then played all my games at the Polo Grounds. Dude hit like .700 and had about 40 dongs in April.

When I travel to NY on the show, I always play one game at the Polo Grounds. Can you imagine a park like that right in Manhattan?

Fingers crossed he requires only rest and strengthening…Ngl I suspect the demand for 24/7/365 power oriented high performance is going to be the death of pro sports and I’m most upset that it’ll be after my lifetime 

They'll be turned into cyborgs soon enough don't you worry.

Nah, the game will morph into blernsball.

Villanueva's start with the Padres was impressive. Crazy to see how some players take off once they get a fresh start.

0-4 with 3 K yesterday. That tracks. Though he is 1-3 with 0 K today

I watched an inning of Rockies vs Rays today and in that time Kris Bryant struck out on 3 pitches directly after consecutive hits, and Chris Morel hilariously misplayed a double off the wall in left field

Former Cubs draft pick/decent prospect Jay Jackson retired. He managed to last 17 years in baseball. Pretty impressive.

He's 0-for-18 to start the season with no BB and 8 Ks. 

Remains to be seen if eating tape will help.

That sounds.... really bad.  He has to be getting close to calling it quits.  His back isn't going to get any better and he can't even make it through a few weeks of the season, all while not being able to perform even when he is on the field.

He won’t be calling it quits until at least after the 2028 season. Keep gettin them checks!
