I did read that, but the second part would be true ;). Perception is reality in this case, and if players (especially trade targets and free agents) feel that performance would be negatively affected by whatever, then they are more likely to go elsewhere. This means not-shitty players are less likely to line up for…

One of the most amazing things about the Cubs fan base in general is how the refuse to blame certain things. They see no correlation to playing in a shithole of a stadium and why free agents are hesitant to play there. They refuse to believe that a lot of day games can affect negatively a player's performance.…

Did he swing? I mean the head of the bat did cross the hands and possibly the plate?

Deal with it.

Lighten up Francis.

If you look closely enough you can see the Liverpool PR team holding the strings

If you want to fire him, then do it. I mean, I understand firing and replacing him, but not replacing him then firing him.

If we had a guarantee that we could get one of those I would be all for it. I want to give the new ownership a few years though. This might just be a rookie mistake.

Fuck you Andrew Bogut.

Absolutely a penalty, even if there were some theatrics done to accentuate the foul. The defender smacked his foot into the ground. That would be like punching someone, having them fall down and then saying, well the damage was clearly done by the ground.

By the way, the next guy up hit a home run so had he not slipped, the Rockies would have tied the game up right there. Oops.

They definitely have talent. Still, its crazy to see such an incredible group of players flame out so horribly.

Holy shit. Page 11.

The written rule says something along the lines of "a player caught using a banned substance will serve a 50 game suspension" (Braun did more than 50 games). No where in the written rules does it say that opposing teams can hit him with a baseball. So, yes, they did try to do the unwritten rule here.

An All-Star vote for Lucroy is a vote for change.

It held the Gold Cup final a year ago...

So the only reason is to not repeat? Let's stop hosting qualifiers in Columbus or KC because they've had them there!

I'm a little confused as to why Soldier Field is not on here anymore.

We hate Mexico more than you, doo dah doo dah...
