Root...Root...Root...

...for the 'Roots?

Can't help but enjoy the ball-stomping the Pirates are putting on the Jakes right now.  The BFiBs must be apoplectic and, with La Genius gone, they have no one to blame!
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Yep.  I'm hoping the Pirates are the landing spot for Norris too.  I would like to see the Pirates get over the hump this year.

My only regret will be that my smackdown of Cam Bonifay will no longer be valid.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

I love how the NL Central might end up with 3 playoff teams.  I thought the Astros were going to be so bad that the AL West was going to go undefeated against them and have 3 playoff teams?  Why aren't we hearing that about the Cubs?

Comparing the Cubs record to Houston's is not even close. The Cubs are -10 to .500, Houston -35.   Milwaukee is in the cellar in that division. Nonetheless, FTC.

I didn't even look at the standings I was just going off those preseason Astros hate articles.

And they might get Wandy back in a couple of weeks.  He was dealing the first part of the season.
You may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"

I hardly ever look at the standings anymore.

The rest are pretending, they put on a show
