How angry would Wrigley Traditionalists get if they build a retractable roof over Wrigley? Maybe one day they'll "renovate" Wrigley like they did Soldier Field, i.e. completely demolish it and leave just some outside stuff and drop a spaceship in the middle of it Glass dome is lowered over by helicopters, then taken away once the game finishes. Like in The Simpson's movie

Ron Coomer's complete silence during Baez's walkoff is a perfect opportunity for your mind to hear illusions of Ron Santo's celebration

I'm sure Bryce Harper set some sort of record, too.

Baez sorta had a Sammy Sosa hop.

Damn Cahill.

+1 I was embarrassed for them when they went from Williams to Dusty. It probably doesn't help to have Jacque Jones as an assistant hitting coach

It's sad that the Washington Nationals are stuck with the wrath of Dusty Baker for ~2 years. I kinda liked their franchise. They deserve better.

Zobrist's 136 OPS+ has officially surpassed Castro's 120
