I think things worked out quite nicely for Carlos. 9 year career, all star, over $23 million earned, I'd say most minor league prospects would take that career in a heartbeat

kyle says kris bryant is going to suck anyways so why do we care

he's gonna die in a horrible accident with that thing, isn't he

so much for the theory that 1908 was modzilla.

ozzie knows what it takes to win a world series, the only thing maddon lacks sign him yesterday

I'm all in on ozzie guillen being a bench coach

what's joe maddon's email so we can set up our next guest

has anyone spotted joe maddon singing go cubs go at murphy's yet

so I'm going to dc next week for a vacation, and if it comes to it game 5 will be on Thursday. just checked stubhub, and nosebleeds are $97 a ticket, which isn't ungodly. hopefully I can convince the wife to get tickets for this, cross your fingers.

can you officially guarantee the playoffs for the 2015 season?

when brett, derwood, and myself have an ohio cubs fan meeting at great american ball park next season you all aren't invited

so he's not a miserable negative nancy like kyle, and thinks writing about baseball should be fun? I love him more.

not to be on the same side as kyle, but what's the cliff's notes version of why bleacher nation is so terrible? I always liked it.

only if it has ketchup on it. yum.

Additionally, look where the second baseman was playing, for a guy with Jeter's opposite field tendencies. Buck Showalter knows the score. I can't imagine Buck Showalter would throw away a game just for the Legend of Jeter, but I watched the game on YES and from the shot they showed the 2B was really close to 2B and the SS was not even in the picture which means he was closer to 3B than 2B. Just seems really odd to play Jeter that way and then put a fastball on the outer half... Edit: To be fair his spray chart is not so exaggerated for http://www.fangraphs.com/spraycharts.aspx?playerid=826&position=SS&type=battedball The orioles still had/have a shot for home field, they weren't throwing any games. It is generally accepted that if you play shifts on defense your pitcher / catcher do not adjust their pitch selection to account for the shifts. The fact that it was a fastball on the outer half has nothing to do with the shift. You pitch the batter as you normally would and assume he will hit to his normal tendencies. It would have been a nice moment if everything about leading up to it had not been so overblown. Stuff like this article is just madness. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/f6ea076eec3b479f881e573ffb9b1dd2/could-jeter-be-first-perfect-hall-vote I mean the guy never even won an MVP and now he deserves to be the first unanimous selection to the HOF? well, he should get in unanimously. the problem is he should be far from the first one to get in unanimously.

@BestFansStLouis would be amazing

Oh my god the Bengals might be one of the 3 best teams in the league

So then you have no problem with the fact that the NFL only waited until after the video was leaked to impose stiffer punishments? You have no problem that the Ravens waited until after the video leaked to terminate Ray Rice's contract? what? no, of course i'm not ok with their deplorable non-reaction to this. but i'm certainly not going to complain that public outcry forced them to get it right My complaint is that there was no public outcry before Monday's leak. At least not enough to get the NFL to do anything of substance. yeah there was definitely no chatter of the 2 game suspension being a joke until the 2nd video got released. jesus christ give me a break.

it's rosie red yo

whether 2010-now was necessary or not, it's over now. point is, the cubs are possibly good RIGHT NOW, things are paying off, and there's a very good chance the cubs will be good to amazing the next few years. so just enjoy it, dorks.

I like how after all these years we just assume our prospects will fill in with no issues

I saw Sammy's first game back from the corked back suspension, Maddux's first game back as a Cub, A-Ram's 3 HR game, and a Soriano 3 HR game too all in Cincy
