Wow Javy -
At least Almora is still continuing to be Mike Trout
-
if Hendricks isn't going to get the low strike today could be a long day

Starling Marte suspended 80 games for PEDs
Rex Buckingham replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in General Baseball Talk
Deleted? The deleted tweet: and the reason for it being deleted: [tweet] [/tweet] yeah, saw that after I posted...but still, being uninformed in this day and age is an excuse that just doesn't cut it. -

Passan ftw edit: Tweet must have been deleted, but it basically called out Marte as lying about it being an accident because it's an injection-only steroid. -
SSS and all that, but Montero looks cooked
-
Anyone else agree with JD that Contreras was set up way too far outside? Felt like he was out of position to make the block there, though blocking a 58 foot pitch isn't ever easy.
-
Seriously, how many years is it going to take before Kaplan stops taking shots at Aramis?
-
At the game, stadium looks about 75% full at best, and probably a 50/50 split on fans. #bfib

WILLSON!
-
Is it just me or is Strop always awful against the Cards?
-
Screw off. What's a terrible call.
-
YOU DAG GUM RIGHT WE ARE PLAYING THIS GAME UNDER PROTEST! Please tell me this is a Clint Hurdle thing, because I can't stop reading it in his voice and not laugh Hawk Harrelson
-
I mean, St. Louis sucks so I don't blame him. In another note, we could really use a quick inning from Lester here.
-
Accurate throw might have gotten Diaz there
-
Anyone else feel like they've made this so much about the Cardinals tonight?
-
Heyward definitely gets to that one if he's in right.
-
A bit behind, but so like a Cardinal to honor guys who killed people because they were driving vehicles while impaired.
-
I honestly think I'd rather see Javy catch than Schwarber. Not because he would be better, but because of how fascinated I would be to watch him behind the plate. edit: obviously not in a game that matters, but when we inevitably are blowing out the Reds in the middle of August, why not let him play all 9 positions?
-
I think that infield is more "athletic" than the Cubs'. That obviously doesn't come close to equating to "good at baseball" though. I read "athletic" there as "good at football", which is as meaningless a metric as any that's been used to describe any form of White Sox aptitude in recent years. Yeah, I think they might be overall, but thought it wasn't the clear, without a doubt proposition he was making it out to be. Not that it matters at all, because like Bukie said, they suck at baseball and our infield (and I was thinking with Javy in place of Zobrist, which proabbly needed clarified) features possibly the two best hitters in the NL and two middle infielders who can hit like pretty good 3rd basemen
-
Read this in an article over on The Ringer and immediately thought, that probably isn't even the clear most athletic infield in Chicago.
-
Yeah, it's not as easy to be mad about it after we won the series, but it seems like they got off pretty light.
-
The longstanding backstory to the W presidency was that Cheney made all the plannin' and Bush was there to convince the yokels he was somebody they could have a beer with, and therefore agree with what Cheney pushed. And what Cheney pushed was WAR WAR WAR, MURDER MURDER MURDER, DEATH DEATH DEATH. Thanks for filling me in.
-
Curious where the "Cheney is evil" talk is coming from. Not doubting it, but just wondering if there are specific stories I can be pointed to.

Like jersey said, this is two different things. Games above or below .500 is how many games it would take for you to get back to the fixed reference point of .500 in either direction. But it's a different measure with another team where the point of reference is always changing based on the other teams record at the time. Right, and over the course of the year I get that, I was really only thinking in terms of an end-of-season record and didn't specify that.
