  1. Almora GIDP in his 5th AB in the 7th.
  2. Kiley McDaniel thinks Almora is the best of the Cubs' big 4 prospects, with Baez and Soler having the most risk.
  3. Couple other things to note: - From youngest to oldest, the Cubs big 4: Almora (19), Baez (20), Soler (21), Bryant (21) - Almora is the second youngest player in the AFL.
  4. Bryant K swinging to start the 6th, lowering his OPS to 1.600 for the AFL to this point.
  5. Almora single in the 5th, now 4-4.
  6. If it was McCann, he would have blocked the pitch from reaching the plate.
  7. Soler always has been the better prospect.
  8. Cubs: 6 of 8 with 5 R and 9 RBI Rest of league today: 5 runs scored on 12 hits.
  9. Soler with a bases-loaded double to clear them. 10-0 Mesa right now with Bryant up. EDIT: Almora 3-3 with a double, HR, 3 R and 3 RBI, Soler 1-3 with a double and 3 RBI, Bryant 2-2 with a HR, BB, R and 3 RBI.
  10. http://cdn0.dailydot.com/uploaded/images/original/2012/7/22/aaron_paul_2.gif
  11. What I think will happen: Jack Morris Greg Maddux What I want to happen: The baseball writers look at the ballot and say to themselves "Sweet sassy molassey, I can't believe we didn't vote 10 of these guys in last year. We should just give up this power trip and let actual knowledgeable people decide who should be honored by our sport."
  12. So, Cutler vs NYG or Newton @ MIN?
  13. The ballot is insane this year since the writers were insane last year. Great blog from Joe Posnanski suggesting maybe voters should vote for Hall of Fame like they vote for MVP, just rank 10 players: http://joeposnanski.blogspot.com/2013/10/ranking-hall-ballot-results-edition.html
  14. thats one way of putting it Loose definition of the words "Lot" "interesting", "big", "league", "ready", "3B", "depth" and "between" make that sentence potentially true.
  15. The only real meaning I can get from draft lists at this point is hoping that somehow Rodon falls due to some non-injury reason, like he decided to take next spring off to rest his arm, so he falls to 4th.
  16. Well, here's McCutchen's biggest chance so far to become a Pirate legend...
  17. Trolling is stupid, so there is no difference.
  18. So...sign me up for something other than a Spain/Germany - Netherlands/Belgium - Uruguay pool, please. EDIT: The USMNT had pretty good luck last cycle (not Mexico luck...) with England/Slovenia/Algeria, couldn't ask for much better than that, especially with nobody wanting any part of the host pool this cycle.
  19. Probable top 10 next week based on predictable results (like Netherlands winning their simple but meaningless matches): 1 Spain 2 Argentina 3 Colombia 4 Germany 4 Italy 6 Croatia 7 Switzerland 8 Netherlands 9 Uruguay 10 Belgium So...note that Brazil isn't in this list, so take Brazil and the top 7, and that's your seeds...if Croatia wins their playoff.
  20. Of course the game counts against season point totals. It's a regular season game.
  21. Analysis of last night's game, including why the Rays brought in a lefty pitcher to face a lefty-killing righty batter with 2 out in the 8th: http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/76784/five-takeaways-from-indians-rays
  22. I met a real live one last weekend in Windsor. He was drunk talking trash about one of the teams in the late 90s that went to the conference championship. You never said you met the Jags GM.
  23. ‏@LenKasper 1m Dale is good baseball man & a lifer in the game. Taught me a lot. Will miss him. Next mgr will be my 5th in 10 yrs here. Not an easy job. My first thought...Len's been here 10 years!?
  24. ATL is not a good team, and NYJ are not a bad team, so that's a risky proposition. STL is probably your best bet on account of "anyone at home vs JAX".
