It must be bad if he immediately ends up on the IL. No waiting the usual 8 days.

It would help solve our RF problem.</sarc>

Not sure where you'd slot him in defensively, but maybe we can find a place for his bat between Burger and Colas. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/05/diamondbacks-dfa-seth-beer.html

Billy Hamilton was made to be the 10th inning Manford Man. He IS the Manford Man.

Fun fact: 2/3 of this Sox lineup features the word “and” in their name.

This goes beyond the "he's a bad guy because he's greedy." Reinsdorf is a horrible owner, but Wirtz was on a whole different level. It's not even close... like saying that both Hank Aaron and Daniel Palka were home run hitters.

As bad as JR is, there is NO comparing him to Bill Wirtz IMO. Try to find and read Career Misconduct. Wirtz was a crook who stole from his own niece for his own gain.

f*** yes.

He’s available for a prorated league minimum!

...until you show that that's your goal by clearly taking action ONLY so far as to achieve second place (maybe), then publicly stating that that's your goal. THEN they won't be happy.

Also, shouldn’t the comparison be Abreu vs. Benentendi?

That was a BOMB.

Wow. That's the hardest home run I've ever seen Vaughn hit

There's always extras....

…well, with Kelly coming in and the umps not delaying it… yes, estupido.

…or, getting the last out of the 6th before the rain delay. now if it keeps up they call it a W.

Honestly, who should lead off?

Isn’t that basically the plot of Major League?

Leury?

For a moment I thought the Spanish word for “griffin” was “grifol” until I looked it up and found it was “grifo.” would have been somehow appropriate if Pedro Grifol literally translated to “Peter Griffin.”

Reminds me of the old East German joke about its Trabant cars. A man pulls into a gas station, and the attendant asks what he needs. the man says, “can I get a full talk of petrol and a new set of wipers for my Trabant here?” The attendant replies, “let me think about it - seems like a pretty good deal….”

Or worse - glitter.

...and a new catchphrase was born

Knowing this team they would somehow turn it into a hot dog
