no just the ticket prices but when you pull it out of context like that, sure.

HA HA ------------- I love the winning but a part of me misses the days of 2011-2014 where tickets were $10-$15 a piece by June Trying to make plans now and not a ticket below $100

Hammel's starts have the worst Adjustment to Team Rating on FiveThirtyEight out of any Cubs starter and this is one of the few games where Cubs are not favored by sir Nate Silver and company.

Can't wait until Joe is on Curb Your Enthusiasm. It'll be pretty good.

Or where to.

Richard warming up to save the day.

I just tuned into the game and the first thing I hear is JD saying "Harper is lucky he didn't take a knee to the coconut"

thats not a sleeper thats a coma

I thought Starlin Castro was Jeter 2.0

Papelbon is no longer a threat. We got this.

Brian Dopirak and David Kelton

more like the Urban Scherzer

is that really yellow? isn't it more of a lime green

oh, its gonna be that kinda night?

Josh Hamilton would know what that means Revere has 2 stolen bases this season and has been caught 3 times. I think he just "looks like a leadoff hitter"

as does Little League, but i'll let them pass

.203/.259/.281/.540/45 OPS+ barf

Bat flipping is contagious with Miami what is it about college baseball that makes the entire team crowd the home plate after every run scored?

looks like we'll have to walk Harper and Murphy before getting Zimmerman out 15 times this series

but did you weigh in The Dusty Factor*

Scherzer has two different colored eyes http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/baseball/mlb/img25163997.jpg and you guys thought Zobrist was a creepy weirdo
