    FINISH THEM, RIZZO. Finish them and we will supply you with wenches to ply you with meats and scented oils.

    Starlin, you are my sunshine.

    Ahhhhh, welcome back, Fujikawa.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Wait, why the hell did they pull Gio?
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Big time. Though at least Feldman had another nice start.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Gee, I wonder if they'll be no-hit today. No, of course not. That would be silly.

    Alright, my dad is actually at this game as part of his birthday celebration; he's probably going insane. That said, nearly every pitch they've taken has been a strike. [expletive] this guy.

    The guy was throwing strikes; it's not like you just take pitches to take pitches if the guy is putting them in the zone. Plus it's the top of the first, so it's not like they had to give Feldman a break or anything. Yes you do, sometimes. You don't just swing at any first pitch strike. That's not a good approach. What? Of course you can swing at a first pitch strike if you think you have something to hit. Yeah, I didn't say you can't. The problem is some (lots - historically) of our players think they have something to hit way too often. Which creates this self-fulling prophecy-mentality that seems to assume that swinging early = automatically bad and taking pitches = automatically good. If the first pitch is there and you think you can hit it, great, take a shot. Taking it just to take it isn't always the right choice. My dad has become pitch count-obsessed lately and he's even bothered if the Cubs have a GOOD inning and they don't make the opposing pitcher throw more than 20 pitches (and at least 15). It's pretty amusing.

    Feldman is the only one they need to try and move. This is a terrible idea. (Nobody's arguing with him; we're just enjoying him trying to explain himself)

    To me it came off as him saying hockey is a trashy sport, and my point was that given the fans have the highest average income it might be hard to make that case. It was just a goofy exaggeration to say; also known as hyperbole. I was originally going to go say "live in the zoo," but rats seemed funnier. I had no idea hockey fans were concerned about such things.

    NHL fans have the highest average income among fans of the big 4 sports, by a good amount. Rich scumbags loving their crappy sport for jerks...and?
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Damn right; those hockey animals get to go live with the rats.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    What an AB.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    You only think so?
  19. Sammy Sofa
    I'm not watching, but my guess is you saw Valbuena, who's going for an X-Ray on his thumb after his slide into 3rd. [expletive]. Aggressive baserunning = bad.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Real meeting of the minds there.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    This is fun.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Really, really, really, REALLY hate aggressive baserunning.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    This is pretty hilarious.

    What? No. Either way, I thought it was going to be a triple off the bat. That's odd. I kind of did at first since the right fielder was playing so far off the line. but, he got to the ball really quick. Didn't seem like much of a shot to me; and as fast as he got to the ball the 3B coach should know a LOT better.
