    It's like the ump was frozen in time for a second by how stunned he was.

    Goodness gracious.

    [expletive], dudes; stop striking out.

    It's always struck me as a little odd when people talk about their WS fantasy they seem to typically describe the Cubs winning it in game 7, usually dramatically. Personally, I want that huge win streak; just cruise to winning it all with a minimum of drama.

    i hope that whenever we win it, he actually feels comfortable showing his face and having some sort of cool moment because the whole thing is awful. Bring him back after they win it. I don't trust Cubs/sports fans enough to not be awful to him if they bring him back for a playoff game or something and then they end up losing. Bring him back where? He's living a normal life, just doesn't feed into media(and other) morons. I just feel like he got so much [expletive] and had to be so miserable that it would be nice for him to have a cool moment of some kind. It's meatbally, I guess. It was just so stupid that he had to endure what he did. I had also heard that (maybe it was that ridiculous Wayne Drehs article years ago) he hadn't gone to a game since. Who know if that still is (or ever was) true. That just blows, though. Yeah, I just think it would be cool since he got such a raw deal. Of course he doesn't have to do it, and they have to do it, but it would be a nice gesture.

He probably doesn't want to be brought anywhere. Think of it like that sacrifice scene from Temple of Doom.

    This.. Especially when it's outside and 95F and the bride insists on an hour ceremony In a church without air conditioning A wedding I went to in North Carolina this summer expressly said on the invitation that people could wear whatever they wanted (at a business/church casual-level) and still most of the suckers showed up completely dressed up to the nines and sweating their bits off in an un-air conditioned church. Madness. What part of NC? I was in an August wedding a few years back. In a wool tux. In August. Outside. I literally had to continuously wipe my face sweat throughout the entire wedding so it didn't drip off my face. Outer Banks. It was sticky.

    I figure I owe this place a little something. Make it rain, ya filthy animals. Though I do have to say, there's no Ad Block when I'm at work, and it's a bit odd that while I'm at my federal job with a security clearance most of the banners that pop up are for Arab, Russian or Chinese dating sites. Thanks a ton, Google.

    I'm definitely going to be working for this and the first series. Thankfully, they fixed our cable at work so I'll be able to have the games on multiple screens.

    Why? He was available for free last month and nobody wanted him. I know he's had a good month, but I doubt that's rebuilt his trade value to the point where somebody is taking on his contract and giving something of value. I've shared this sentiment before, but 'Castro clearing waivers means the baseline for his trade value is literally zero' is simply not true. Teams have different motivations and risk tolerances in August, and generally the default is letting a player pass through waivers out of courtesy if nothing else. We're 10 months removed from Matt Kemp's corpse and bloated contract getting insane value in trade, and he didn't have Starlin's youth, health, positional advantage, friendlier contract, or insane September to promote optimism. I obviously have no insight as to how GMs view the waiver wire, but I just can't imagine a team like the Padres letting Castro slip through waivers simply out of courtesy if they felt his contract was at all friendly. I'm not saying he's untradeable, but I think people need to scale back expectations on getting anything of real value for him at this point. Why? Players pass through waivers all the time; it means next to nothing.

    There are quite a few hot dudes on this team. Kyle Schwarber...yikes. All I can think of is this: https://youtu.be/bl6z03A5zRs

    Can't we raise money by putting out a sexy calendar?

    does middle relief mean jon lester in another language? No, you [expletive]. :-) As Joe said, he seems to be peaking at the right time. But I do wonder/fear esp about Strop. If the Cubs can beat Pitts, I'm not terribly confident given the majority of his outings, esp at Busch. The majority of his outings? Then how does he have the number she has? Sorcery?

    I would imagine very healthy. Well, they're from the Midwest, so not TOO healthy.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Yup. The strategic reasons are obvious, but at the same time it's obviously saying, "[expletive] you, you suck, we're not worried about you doing anything with the bat." You come up and crush one when a team's walked someone to get to you? Hell yeah, you should get to enjoy it. Every other sport you see people celebrating or getting pumped over scoring or a big play, but baseball is still our big, dumb uncle who says awkward things at holiday dinners. Flat out saying they're going to hit him is just ridiculous. It's like a basketball team saying they're going to clothesline Steph Curry because of what he does after he hits a big 3.

    Told you they should have gotten Hamels.

    Great flip AND great pimping. Go sniff a butt, Twins.

    The worst Constantine villain. Well played.
