We would've announced a trade if we had given something up for him. It was a straight waiver claim.

Wilson won't get the L, but by God he deserves it

This dude is a horsefeathering clown.

Seal Boy for second base

God I horsefeathering hate this guy

I want Candelario back.

Yeeeep. Schwarber would be an acceptable option also. Not right now he's not.

What a terrible AB from Caratini

Heyward actually hits the ball hard when a 4-3 dribbler would've been ideal. Sigh

It was really good to see you, Carl

I heard Len say 9 tonight, don't know if that includes this game. But still somewhere between 15-20% of the games left. Doesn't include this game. We play them 6 more times in the next week and a half then the last series of the season.

I'm a little less upset about not scoring last inning now

I thought he was cooked after the 1-1 swing.

IBB Heyward is a pretty awful decision

My God, Schwarber

This has been an excellent inning of baseball

Wilson in to continue his bang up Cubs career

Now he decides to start walking everyone

Yeah you pretty much had to not notice that for me to have a chance. I'm out of transactions so I can't replace Contreras Never say never! One of my players is Kris Bryant, so I'm basically playing a man down also. I've got Bryant too. I went all in on Cub dongsmen this year.

We can't go one series against those guys without that damn Muppet doing something annoying

That one made me laugh too. Most of the actual jerseys look terrible, although I find myself strangely liking the White Sox one.

I went to bed when we were up 5-0, I think it was in the 5th. I probably would've stayed awake longer but MLB.TV was being really jacked up and I got sick of wrestling with it

It was the booth for MVP Baseball. Therefore it is awesome
