went with my brother 4nd my dad

There was a sick throw by Roger Bernadina to the cut off man Danny Espinosa to get this guy out at 3rd who was trying to do a triple and they didn't show a single replay, not even during the heineken light highlights

I hope Cashman is taking notes. This Yankees team Girardi is sending out everytime they play right now is getting job done. Even without the heavy hitters. AND, they're cheap.

Tonight's starting 9 + the 1 or 2 guys they got on the bench right now comes out to about $57 mil. if my math is right.

Also not to jinx it, but I think Cashman caught lightning in a bottle with this Vernon Wells trade. I wish this font size was smaller.

He'll go 0 for his next 90 now

I think the Rockies would do better if they got a couple more hits during their games. What do you guys think?

Maybe they're saving their hits so they can cash them in at the same time for a bigger prize.

I think the skateboard costs 4,500 hits.

This week they've barely had enough hits to buy one of those pencil erasers.

I wonder if arcade prizes are universal.

Like we all had the dilemma of using our last 20 tickets on the super ball or the keychain.

Super ball everytime btw.

That shit bounced high as fuck.

HEY HOW ABOUT YOU SHUT YOUR FAT DICKHEAD MOUTH

Looks like we got a keychain fan over here.

I wish they could hit enough for a keychain

The chemistry of this group is through the roof and I love them. Reminiscent of the '96 Champs teams. However, it has only been slightly more than a month. We'll stay tuned and see how it continues...

"Don't ever 'shush' me!"

-Joba Chamberlain to Mariano Rivera.

I got the water gun... I was 16 and my friend and I pooled all our tickets together, was shitty, wasn't even a super soaker, barely used it. This was at Chuck E Cheese's

at the arcade I went for the superball

Chad Jenkins is starting for the Jays. Ugh. He'll allow more home runs than batters he strikes out.

Joey Bats killing the Sox today.

Rizzo gets an extension.

Rizzo is going to be real good. I know that's not going out on a branch, but good deal for the Cubs to lock him up.

I'll have a really good laugh when all the injured veterans come back and get full playing time and the team starts to fall apart..

Still trying to figure out if Rizzo will be "real good" or "great". Leaning toward the Fred Mcgriff real good. Solid numbers all around, maybe a career year with 32-35 bombs, occasional all-star, but never a serious MVP contender. Think the Cubs rebuilding project's issue right now is they don't have that true superstar. Unless Castro or Rizzo outperforms my expectations, or a Baez or Almora down on the farm is it, they are going to run into problems if the only way to get that type is to throw $200 million at someone down the road.

I cant take anyone who's named after a rat seriously.

Also can't take Trevor Plouffe seriously either cause he sounds like something used to take a shower.

I'm sure the Cubs will find that guy to throw money at when he is one of the final pieces of the puzzle. Need the foundation first. You don't want another Soriano deal

Fred McGriff should be a Hall of Famer. Rizzos a stud. It's a good sign.

Could be worse than McGriff. Could be JT Snowe

Seems like he is a better overall hitter than Snow, but if he dosent live up to potential that is probably a pretty good comp for what he would be.

As far as the superstar goes, I like signing guys as pieces of the puzzle via free agency. Those are contacts you can usually get out from under (see Dejesus' 3 year deal). You basically get one (maaaybe two) chances to spend a giant wad of cash on one player. Not to mention the draft pick you would likely lose as well. So another Soriano is a very real possibility in that case. Your MVP type should really be someone who you developed yourself (Castro) or who you aquired early in his career with lots of years of control left (Rizzo). If not, and you have to spend top dollar, you take a huge risk.

Skippord, rox coming to Wrigley this week. Anything I should know about em?

They have some guy named Tulo. Heard he can hit, kinda.

Rox are throwing Nicasio, Francis and Garland. Would have liked to have seen De La Rosa. At least I get to se Matt Harvey on Friday.

Nicasio throws incredibly hard but can't get past the fifth inning because whatever team he's facing fouls off nine hundred pitches per at bat. Jeff Francis will give up two runs at minimum. Garland is my favorite and I hope he gets all of the ground balls.

And outside of Cargo and Tulo I would watch every at bat Wilin Rosario takes because he is one of the strongest people in baseball and hits monstrous home runs. Also Nolan Arenado plays terrific defense and will hit at least 5 line drives that he will be robbed of hits on. Josh Rutledge looks like Captain America.

That seems like a fair breakdown of them.

I know, I know. Video games. But here is my anecdote about Wilin Rosario.

I got his card in Diamond Dynasty and was very shocked to learn that he has 99 power vs. both lefties and righties. So I used him. And he hit lots of home runs. I will try to get his card again when my current catcher expires.

The end.

That is pretty impressive.

He has a picture of himself dressed like Mr. T in his locker.

Was gonna make a post yesterday on how the last 2 or 3 Mother's Days, the baseball gods give all the starting pitchers superpowers and 1 or 2 come close or get a no-hitter or perfect game.

Chris Sale came close last night.

I think I have a romantic link to West Coast baseball due to their great pitching/pitchers parks. As a Yankees fan I could only hope to have games over in about 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Gonna assume someone from the Rockies saw my posts making fun of them and put them on the bulletin board for last night's game.

Sox two games back now, fuck you baseball.

Astros president and CEO George Postolos has stepped down.

Hmmm. Any well known GMs or front office guy sitting around that we know of? If someone's looking for the ultimate rebuilding project, this is it.

<font color=goldenrod>It makes my heart hurt how bad the Mets are. Their offense is the worst its been in years.</font>

Don't worry, they play the cubs soon enough.

Wonder if RP saw Travis Wood pitching tonight.
