QUOTE (reiks12 @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 09:06 PM) I am actually wondering if the Pirates knew Marte was either on PEDS or had been tested for it during the offseason and that is why they were so unwilling to make a trade. He tested positive during ST, I imagine the team knew.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 08:29 PM) So how long does Avi have to mash until we stop doubting? 6 months

Cool win, love the team's reaction afterward, still not happy about Miggy getting pulled but I get it.

WHAT THE f***!

I have sinking feeling.

Tim Anderson is very good, White Sox 1B are f***ing trash.

God, feels like a perfect game is on the line, I'm unreasonably excited about this.

Holy s*** he's actually going to pull off the Maddux, this is very cool.

So Miguel Gonzalez is gonna Maddux the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, huh? This sport is weird.

Avi just soooo looks the part, makes it hard not to fall in love with him.

The moment I turned on Ricky Renteria.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 04:48 PM) I've never found him funny either so it's always been weird to me how popular he became. That said, he seems like a good enough dude so I've never really had a problem with him. Years of watching sports has taught me to separate the personal form the professional side and to irrationally hate, actually, Timo alone taught me the latter.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 04:44 PM) That said, looks like it was maybe something I needed to do before the season started and I was charged for mlb.tv. I can't find a way to get the milb.tv for half off right now. If anyone knows how, let me know, and thanks in advance. This is where I'm at, I actually canceled my MILB.tv subscription by accident (thought I was turning off auto-renewal) and haven't resubscribed because I'm getting screwed out of $25. There's a box you have to tick near the end of signing up for MLB.tv in order to get MILB.tv for $25. If you're on MLB.tv auto-renewal I think you're SOL. There's nothing that links the 2 accounts, you just get a download code for MILB.tv when you tick that box.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 04:23 PM) I'm not much of a fan either. Too goofy and he looks inferior when you match him up with Colbert. Dude broke during every sketch he ever appeared in (same for Horacio Sans' b**** ass) and was arguably the worst Weekend Update host in the show's history -- even sitting next to Tina Fey couldn't save him -- so they gave him the f***ing Tonight Show, fitting successor to Leno. And yes, I understand this is completely irrational and oddly extreme. This week is off to a rough start.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 03:44 PM) Didn't like SNL this weekend I take it? Even by SNL standards it was insultingly bad. The man has zero talent and even less comedic courage/integrity.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 03:46 PM) Hahaha. I hope you follow Vic Berger on twitter. EDIT: He occasionally rips on him Yes, yes I do, Vic is amazing. Love that video, his use of air horns is always spot on.

Jimmy Fallon is the biggest f***ing hack in the history of television. I legitimately hate him, his dumb face angers me. Just felt the need to throw that out there.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 03:53 PM) Just binged season 2 of Fargo, holy s*** Legion is good. Watch Legion you dummies.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 08:28 PM) As much as I want to see Vintage Shields, dude has a 1.69 era and a 5.28 FIP. That walk total has to come down by like half if he is going to be decent this season. EDIT: just saw that was only his first two starts, and not including today. My guess is that five hits and three more walks isn't going to help that FIP at all. For the record I was being very, very sarcastic. James Shields is terrible.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 06:14 PM) If I were a Mod, I would close this thread. Good thing you're not a mod.

Have you all apologized to Shields yet? The thing about Avi has always been the exit velocity, dude hits the ball hard as hell, just can't elevate. If he starts hitting the ball in the air you have to take him seriously.

Buxton is all glove, zero bat, will be interesting to see how history views him.

Shields is clearly good and you should all feel bad for doubting him.

Just binged season 2 of Fargo, holy s*** Legion is good.
