LOL of course the Cubs have to have Contreras, Almora and Murphy on the bags for the first big moment of the game. A catcher and two of the slowest guys on the team.
My friend who lives in Houston and is a huge Astros fan wrote me a few weeks back tell me how great Hector is, and wondering why the Cubs give up on him. I told him “just wait.” Today he emailed me and said I see what you mean. He’s blown like 5 saves in 15 chances. On the other hand, Cahill has been really good this year. Pitched a gem today.
I was at that game, I think. Wasnt that the one in San Juan when they were playing the Expos and a ball fell into the Bermuda Triangle between Alou, Agon and Aramis?
Mostly pretty boring - Pelo Fino is my favorite other than of course El Mago (and Herbie made me laugh) Pelo Fino is great, he kinda has that Billy Dee Williams thing going on with his hair. And agree on Hancock, hilarious. Hendricks should be "Carl" -- isn't that what the team calls him?
Look how similar Baez looks to Arenado so far this year: Arenado: 4.5 WAR .306/.389/.588/.977 OPS 124 Hits, 29 HR, 81 RBI, 2 SB Javy: 4.8 WAR .302/.335/.594/.929 OPS 124 Hits, 25 HR, 88 RBI, 19 SB
As much as I hate that we traded Godley, the guy we got for him hit one of the biggest home runs and biggest singles in the history of the franchise, so there’s that.
Nah, Italians are fine as long as they get back to [expletive] Hill by dark. edit: profanity filter took out a derogatory term for Italians that is the name of a section of St. Louis that was historically an Italian ghetto and is known for its many Italian Restaurants today. Although now it is advertised and celebrated as "The Hill" it had always been Dxxx Hill. "Dxxx" is where Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola grew up. and Harry Caray too, correct?
