7/29 Cubs (Hendricks) @ St. Louis (Gant) 7:05 ESPN

[TMan92]

 

They showed video of him playing catch (in the rain!) for a few minutes and A-Rod tried to claim it was distracting the team from the mission of winning games. It was billymadisonnopointsgodhavemercyonyoursoul.gif worthy

 

A-Rod is a dolt. I didn’t say it was a good narrative but the guy has the label. We can whine about it all we want.

And it’s a “narrative” because dip horsefeathers guys with a national medium to speak like A-Rod, Gordo, Jesse Rogers, etc continue to make up false narratives about the guy

 

It has been there since Texas.

I must have missed it, what did ARod say about Darvish?

Here’s a good thread on it

BOTE YOU'VE GOTTA BE [expletive] ME

[itisallpartoftheplan]

The Bozo connection right there.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

 

It is bad but it is the narrative the guy has to deal with.

People having said negative things about Darvish before doesn’t make nonsensical rantings about Darvish distracting the team a foregone conclusion.

[Brian]

now they're calling Bote a rat

[Andy]

Have a night, Bote

[Derwood]

Nice win

[soccer10k]

Cubs win!

[Brian]

two straight innings 2-9 shut outs for Cubs pitching

[NotSoSober]

How long til AROD is talking about Bryant being a clubhouse cancer with Bote being the spark plug this team needs

[UMFan83]

The media, sensing an opportunity to tear down a player, are jumping in

 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

This team accepted Tommy La Stella after he basically quit on the team. Arod can piss off.

So, who comments first? Drinky Joe or Theo? And is it anything more than a fart noise and a wanking motion?

Maddon did:

 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Wouldn't shock me if there were parts of the Cubs clubhouse that felt that way. Baseball players are dumb meatheads.

[Cubswin11]

It really just seems like A-Rod, Jesse and his merry band of idiots trying to drum something up

 

 

 

[Aaron_Kennelly]

In conclusion, the Cubs’ clubhouse is a land of contrasts.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Is the Chicago media being extra horrible this year? Is such a thing even possible?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Also, Kyle is our ace. As always.

I feel there’s a lot of times I laugh stuff like this off then it turns out to be true so I’m open minded on it it’s happening, that said I’m sure players disliking other teammates is a thing on every team and it’s effect on winning seems overblown
