You can't win when you build your team around a cocky Russian winger. leafs in 6

I'm all for speeding up the game but this is stupid. Just stupid, Manfred. Usually when the a team issues an IBB: 1) There are already runners on base 2) The score is close 3) It's late in the game This is the game situation that I'd least want to see sped up. Let me savour the excitement! Also give the play-by-play and colour guys the opportunity to hype up the next pitcher/batter matchup. Are they setting up a double-play? Will they go to the bullpen? Will there be a pinch hitter? What is Ryan Goins batting average with the bases loaded? These things must be discussed!

I'm impressed by Atkins and Shapiro here. If we end up signing JB or Edwin, we're going to get maximum value on the contract. Alex would have shot his load a long time ago.

But he was. Ooooops! That was a ticky-tack replay call for an out, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. Point is he was cocky enough to admire his s*** instead of just running out of the box. It's not like I'm arguing that Baez was a -8 WAR this year, I just said I didn't like him. In a world of subjectivity, this is about as subjective as it gets so I'm thinking it's not worth debating.

So showboating after your hit, then making an ass out of yourself and hurting your team by getting thrown out at second = playing the game in a slightly different manner Since you're making this it about race and culture, I can also think of these jerky-looking people after about 45 seconds of contemplating: -Joe Maddon -Dave Banister -Ned Yost -Cole Hamels -Derek Jeter -Mark McGwire I'd say I hate maybe 2%-4% of all players. I think that's reasonable.

I didn't pay much attention to the Cubs until the playoffs, but now that I'm more acquainted with Javy Baez I feel he has a really punch-able face. The way he pimped that s***** homerun (into the Wrigley basket) in game 1 against the Giants was a joke. Then he did the same thing the next game and it wasn't even a homerun and he was thrown out at 2nd. Oooooooh, overall he just looks like such a jerk, I hate him!

Extending a great big FU to Jeff Banister, that smug ******* How does it taste to lose 6 straight playoff games to the Jays? Mmmmmm, I bet it tastes good.

Haha, Pedroia's weak little wrists couldn't hold it back

I'm emotionally exhausted and elated Also disappointed that they didn't show a shot of Pickle's Pub afterwards

Is this Todd Stottlemyre pitching

Also could we agree that x/0 is undefined and does not equal infinity

Win #69

Shouldn't Walker, Gibbons, Atkins, and Sanchez have got together to discuss options before Atkins went out and traded for Lirano, Feldman, and Bolsinger? The fact that they are doing it now either tells me: 1) They're reacting to the media and it's potentially altering their decision making 2) Something has changed over the last week 3) They're just a bunch of procrastinators Not sure which one to hope for.

Go Jays!

Lol, yep. All the pictures that come up when you Google him show the eye so I assumed it was recent!
