I really like Chicago, but Fuck the Cubs.
So, I wonder will be playing 3B for the Astros next year. Am I giving up on CJ too soon? His career looks to be going the way of Truby to me. Seeing him batting 5th is sad.
Truby mostly burned out; I fear CJ is just going to fade away.
Is it just me or are the astros wearing the brick jerseys less this year?
I like driving in Chicago.
We just did cabs and trains. Is it as enjoyable as driving in Boston?
Ivy is a weed.
Actually, if I ever won the lottery (that I never play), I would visit every MLB park in one season......a girl can dream, can't she?
I think driving would be part of the fun, but if you want to charter a jet that's ok too.
What the fuck? Is Bourn carrying a midget on his back? Is he playing in back of 2B? That's not a big park.
I saw som Fucktard in a fukudome t-shirtat buffalo grill this morning. There was a point to this anecdote a one time. I'd try an explain the inherent terribleness of said yuppie character waiting in line at such an establishment, bit that would probably involve a good bit of self- loathing, which is really too much for a Sunday afternoon. I take solace in the fact that I was not, at least, wearing a fukudome t- shirt.
It's been a while since this team was markedly inferior to the Cubs.
While this team may have a worse record than the Cubs, they can never be inferior to those cocksuckers.
That grinning fool makes those WWII caricatures of Tojo look maudlin.
The lure of snark is strong.
He was way behind those fastballs.
Jane Doe: Jordan Lyles' Slave.
CJ has actually been hitting a little better over the last couple of weeks but a look at B-R shows that he's slugging a little over .300 in the last month.
I would have preferred CJ get the day off over altuve.
That's what Jane likes about those rookies: she gets older; they stay the same age.
Nope. Just thinking how much better he looks in it than say, Carlos Lee or Wallace. Just looking at body type.
Maybe, but how does he fill out a penguin costume? Hmm?
I'm wondering what they'll do to Altuve on the rookie road trip. Make him dress up as a munchkin from Wizard of Oz?
Ed, please keep Bourn. He's pretty irreplaceable.
I'm starting to envision myself positioned on the second tier of that train station. Crouched. Wearing all black, down to supple leather gloves that clutch a titanium sniper rifle. I peer through the scope, centered upon a dancing man, slightly balding, also wearing black. I take a deep breath.This is not good.
This is not good.
IMO his value will never be higher than it is now, and with The Devil advising him he won't be staying after becoming an FA. I'll miss seeing him in the HOU OF...but... get a good haul for him and I'll be just fine with it!
...I also think a player like Bourn will never be appropriately valued on the trade market.
I don't entirely disagree, but I also think a player like Bourn will never be appropriately valued on the trade market.
Mills rests Altuve and his three-game hit streak.
CJ looks dreadful.
What a bunch of assholes, booing their own players like that. Classless fucks who don't give a shit if they lose year after year, but by God they love to boo the shit out of their own players. Fucking imbeciles.
My FTC-fan friend who lived up here moved to Katy last week. She decorated her office with her Cubs pennant, her Cubs coffee mug, her pictures of Wrigley, and every single person who came in to say hello and introduce themselves to her did a double-take and asked her, some incredulously, some disgustedly, "Really?"
Why are we running on a 1-2 count?
Wallace gets moved back to 3B, Lee goes to 1B, Pence goes to Philadelphia and Domonic Brown goes to RF.
He put Boojwah in for his speed, Austro.
I was unaware that was a "use it or lose it" proposition.
Wait, you forgot, Bagwell platoons with Wallace at 3B.
It's the Elephant of Surprise.
So like I said earlier, I wonder who plays 3B next year. The closest thing they have to a 3B prospect is, what... Jonathan Meyer, doing so-so in Lancaster? Paredes, hitting OK at Corpus but very shaky defensively (both at 2B and 3B), and raw overall?
Kvalphabet was drafted last year to be the 3b of the future. He's got A LOT of developing to do to get there.
I finally get to watch a game amidst this annoying string of day games and of course I still can't watch Altuve play. I'm starting to believe he doesn't actually exist and I'm a glitch in the matrix.
But yeah, I'm thinking 2012 could bring a cheapo veteran stop-gap at 3rd.
Bitch, don't you fucking throw at our little man.
Kick it around, you fucking Cub. What a bunch of clowns.
Little Big Man.
The Bill Hall Experience.
cubfuckery
c'mon now Hunter.
FUCKING PENCE! You fucking suck.Swung at ball one and two.Moron.
Three pitch strikeout for our FotF. Nice.
I cannot believe anybody who has watched him for more than five minutes would contemplate a trade involving top prospects.
Jack Link's, your extra innings sponsor. Too bad Sasquatch didn't go through their ad department.
You chose a bad time to blink today, Googly-eyes.....
Sit down, asshole.
Which one? They all are..
Pura Vida and Billy
ok, they just walk him to set up the double play, then just twiddle their dicks while he takes off for second?
Is Campana a good hitter? I know he's a lefty, but.
He's extraordinarily fast. There's no way he'd be a double-play candidate.
They IBB'd him with a runner on 3rd only. Just wondering why you don't go after the weak hitter there.
Hmm. On the Final Takes from MMPUS there are always lots of shots of hot chicks. On the ones from Wrigley, it's guys, ballplayers and mules in halter tops. Weird.
