  1. personally i'm a fan of sontensei's war against this board and all reason
  2. I hope Soler can sometime join the Dong Party, we miss him
  3. Important amidst the dong party- Kris Bryant getting hits
  4. Expect it to yo-yo every inning and ye will not be disappointed
  5. it'll be cool if folks like Rizzo, Bryant and Schwarber launch a few today
  6. Samardzija takes the lead in the inept pitcher contest on display today
  7. If Hendricks survives this inning he'll have a WHIP of about 4
  8. Good [expletive] lord Hendricks this is embarrassing
  9. I do enjoy the White Sox being the repository of mediocre Cubs players like Soto and Juan Pierre RIP Good Soto, you had a couple good years (resurgent this year too)
  10. I don't know if Alexi is especially hateable, but he is in a fierce competition with Starlin to be the Worst, offensively
  11. ugh this Sox team is such garbage offensively, don't do that
  12. Hendricks fighting with Samardzija for "I desperately dont want to go more than 4 innings, for some reason"
  13. I believe Schwarber played running back in high school, and had a possible scholarship to play football in college. Imagine that dude coming through the hole
  14. I really hate Stone to be honest, he just has such a smug I'm-above-it-all way about him. Hawk at least feels like a human being (a deranged, homer human being) Len is my favorite playcaller in the league so I'm happy with that
  15. Huh. For some reason in my mind's eye they were both distinctly wearing throwbacks.
  16. Everytime the Cubs and Sox wear throwbacks I think of when Pierzynski got punched
  17. I just don't like the Mets so I'd like them to fade away and go home but the Nats are in such freefall I don't see that happening.
  18. that Fangraphs article analyzing his swing gives me *some* optimism, but I'm still pretty sure he's cooked as a player. I dunno. I'd take him on if it's real real cheap.
  19. Albert Pujols came into the Major Leagues like a Fully Formed Hall of Fame player, and never missed a beat for like a decade. In some ways I get why people whisper about steroids or his age coming into the leagues, etc etc because it's so bizarre how complete a player he was right from go. The weirdest thing about the Albert Pujols decline is that he's gone from one of the most patient, disciplined walk-happy players to someone that absolutely despises taking a walk It's like seeing someone's personality change before your eyes. Makes sense that once a player loses some bat speed they'll compensate and expand their zone, but I never thought I'd see Pujols like this. I'd figure he'd just let his average precipitously drop while staying the same patient dude, but nope, he's gone swing crazy. Rage, rage against the dying of the light, Albert. (As long as you're on the Angels and as far away from the Cardinals as can be, thanks)
