  1. I fell asleep before the 9th (I’m getting old) and expected the Braun hit a dong. The description of what actually happened is worse.
  2. None of those names rang a bell so I looked him up. It was Scott Anders, he was drafted in 1985, but yeah, played 2 years in the minors with terrible stats.
  3. Tommy Pham is only a little bitter about how the Cardinals have treated him. The SI article is really good - you definitely feel for this guy. Plus he cites his own WAR and quotes the $8 mil/year value of WAR to highlight his pay discrepancy. Pretty impressive stuff. The terrible thing about his story is that it isn't all that different from a lot of guys. I played in a very competitive 30 and older baseball league for a few years and guys who played in professional organizations had similar stories. I never knew what was due to inflation or the truth. One guy I played with was a catcher who was in the Cubs organization and drafted a year before Wrona and two before Girardi. He claimed he was pretty good and asked the Cubs for his release so he could try a different organization and they refused to release him.
  4. gives some wine to Bacchus to get the curse off the Cubs.
  5. Len and JD were talking about Ichiro and Gwen. Votto is right up there.
  6. This pitcher for the Reds is nailing his spots. He looks good.
  7. he looks like a fetal alcohol case If Joe Dirt were based on a real character.
  8. I think the Cubs were victimized by the Gods of variance in Miami. They hit the ball hard for the most part and pitched pretty well given a widely inaccurate strike zone. I was pleased with Hewyard's swing and contact (when he made contact). I'm not worried in the least. It's going to be different because of the weather, but I expect the Cubs to win both games.
  9. 5-dimensional chess playing again. He's going to scare Theo into signing Bartolo Colon.
  10. What struck me the most about this opening series was how shitty the balls and strikes were called by the umpires.
  11. Javey needs a nice sit down with Rizzo or Bryant where they tell him to knock this horsefeathers off.
