Agony and Ivy

I'm 100% miserable during games until it turns into an RD game, but if you can't sitback and enjoy the hell out of this team life must really suck.

Who is home plate umpire? Because he's garbage. Not that a fact like that would differentiate him from 90% of all umpires or anything.

Monty has been fantastic. The BABIP gods are pissed off at everyone for some reason.

This offense is already scary good and will be scary good even if they sit Heyward for Happ.

Sorry Bryce, we have Jason now.

Is that actually JD I thought some one was filling in for him or something. Len said it was. I was sure that was someone different. Although now that I think about it they'd probably stick Glanville in there if JD was out. And JD, as a man of the people, refuses to let that happen to us.

Is that actually JD I thought some one was filling in for him or something. Len said it was him he's just powering through it because he feels fine or something.

What an unbelievably dumb inning. Monty looks good though. Lots of strikes not lots of balls.

Sit the horsefeathers down Meadows you no power piece of horsefeathers that somehow came up and hit for power.

This is a fun start. God I horsefeathering hate the Pirates.

horsefeathers off Harrison you little piece of horsefeathers ball player.

JD sounds like he's on death's doorstep.

Solid win. The vaunted brewers days are numbered.

DONG

Chatwood is bizarro Lester.

Chatwood looks lightyears better in the abbreviated windup. Now we'll see some real stupidity.

I read the part where he plead horsefeathering guilty for molesting his 6 year old niece. You probably read the same blog post every other Heimlich truther read which was written by a close family friend in order to try and get him drafted. There's no selling it to your fanbase that you took an admitted child molester and there's no chance that plays in a clubhouse full of athletes with children of their own. The felon wanted to save his family and keep them together by sparing them a trial? GTFOH with that horsefeathers. First, this isn't some traffic violation where you wake up and say horsefeathers it I've got better things to do than go to court on this glorious Wednesday, I'll just admit guilt so I don't have to waste an entire day. If this was some made up charge I think I go down swinging instead of just accepting the deal that labels me a sex offender. Second, why the horsefeathers would you want to keep a family together if they're making up sexual assault claims against one another? Finally, children do not tend to lie about abuse, so just accepting his new innocence claims over the signed horsefeathering plea deal is asinine to me. I read the SI article. The reason the article gave for the plea was that they didn't think they could win and the plea deal was pretty light compared to what would have happened if he lost. As I said before, reading it didn't change my mind but seems to be more complicated than what I first thought. After reading the article, I'm guessing that he did it, but managed to convenience himself that he didn't enabling him to pass a couple polygraph tests. I'm happy the Cubs didn't draft him but I'm not going to be surprised if he ends up signing with someone at some point. The SI article was a family driven PR stunt to try and get him drafted. When you’re charged with something like that and you’re innocent you don’t just say aw shucks I really don’t want to go through the hassle of not being labeled a child molester the rest of my life. You fight to try and not be labeled a child molester. Kids rarely lie about being abused. He’s a scumbag or the biggest moron on the planet and his career is over once the Beavers season ends hopefully in some heartbreaking fashion. Nobody on an Indy ball team will want him in the clubhouse and nobody in affiliated ball with sisters and daughters will want him around. No org is going to take the chance of alienating a huge part of their fan base for a guy who has a 50/50 shot at actually helping them win. I know I would immediately cease being a Cubs fan if they signed him. If he plays somewhere I hope he suffers a debilitating injury and I mean that. Screw pitchers and really screw pitchers that molest little kids. JFC I thought this would be the one thing the internet could agree on but here we are with Luke Heimlich truthers in every corner. There’s nothing whatsoever complicated about this. He was accused of a heinous crime and then admitted to the heinous crime. Read his “apology” after he was found out.

I think it’s still a fake rally since it was Heyward that hit the walkoff dong and those are mythical

Slow He also dogged the hell out of it and if that was Starlin, Jesse and Gordo would be losing their minds.

Tonight is going to be brutal. Quintana better hold them scoreless for the 4 innings he'll be able to pitch and then we just hope for some bounces.

Hopefully only 9 more innings.

He would've been drafted in the first round or comp round.

Raping a kid is not a "mistake". This isn't a guy that got caught stealing a 6-pack of beer. My initial reaction was the same, but after reading up on the full story, I'm not as sure. I still don't think I'd draft him but there was enough other things going on with the story that is was not as clear cut as I first thought. I read the part where he plead horsefeathering guilty for molesting his 6 year old niece. You probably read the same blog post every other Heimlich truther read which was written by a close family friend in order to try and get him drafted.

Real shame.
