Im at work is it a brawl or just a mosh pit type of thing?

The flip between AL and NL over the past four years is amazing.

I find it amazing how a guy that is 0 for the season and cannot play defense is sticking around. What is the expectation that they have of Palka. What harm is there of sending him down for a month? If they lose him is it that great of a loss.

Tatis would make it the lead story on Sportscenter for the next ten years.

I am sure at this point that he and Kimbrell have deals in place for after the draft. I think deep down the cubs have had this plan with Kimbrell all along.

Agreed he is a terrible fielder he needs to dominate with the bat. Similar to Yolmer and the errors. They need to excel incredibly in the things they do well because the things they don't do well they are actually useless.

This organization is still of the mindset that OBP and the changes in how the game are played are irrelevant. Even if they turn over the entire coaching staff at the MLB level it will be with MiLB guys from within the organization. There is no emphasis at all on OBP or defensive metrics at the MLB level it truly is amazing how inept this organization is.

Jon Lester just left the game in the top of the third. He doubled in the bottom of the 2nd......not good if he is out.

Flipped over to the cub game. Kevin Newman is having a day. He gifted the cubs 6 runs. I fear the White Sox will become the Pirates. Looked to have promise in a bad division but never bold enough to put it all together.

Lester and Hamels are 35 and Darvish will be 33 in August

Im sitting right around there. Stop telling people how wonderful the club level is! It is overpriced and doesn't feel like you are at the game. No bathroom lines, limited food choices a nice bar area that is inside if it is cold or raining/snowing. I am not certain how those are not over $100 for the opener. Been to every opener since 89.

Real solid move.....I wonder if the good seats still available mantra had an impact. Friday should sell out for no other reason than it is Friday.

The fear is that this front office has no history of succeeding in what they are setting out to do and the early results are not impressive thus when we see something like this it make us all feel that we are in for a miserable next 10 years so instead of realizing that we try to tell ourselves those that have failed miserably will now succeed and those telling us that they may not are wrong. It is the only way we can stay on as fans.

Well at least the bullpen is rested.

When JR sells the team New owner finds a front office that is not modeled after 1985

2017 was an absolute disgrace. In 2016 they played in the snow. Sat out there in 2017 for 3 hours with no rain. They act like it is 1915 where you struggle to communicate things to people. If I go out there tomorrow, I will not be coming back Friday.

I had the folder and everything but being that there was no run off in my ward it was the treasurer and mayor it was rather simple. It was kind of funny as I didn't even go to the booth. Was easier to just walk over and put it in filling in the blank as I walked to the machine. I have liked Lightfoot since day 1. I really hope she wins.

I voted today. Took the ballot and filled it out while walking to the machine to put it in. The judge running the machine just chuckled. There is no reason to not vote in this election it is beyond simple.

The NL central is going to be great to watch on a daily basis.

See it doesn't matter that he defense sucks, they didn't score.

Yesterday the story was that Eloy does not call the ball lound enough....pop ups have mystified this team for a number of years. It's the curse of D'Angelo Jimenez.

I am on gamecast how does one single on a pop up to short?

This rebuild will fail miserably if OBP and defense are not taken seriously.

Well the lineup tinkering didn't work the first go around. Palka is playing himself down to AAA....sweet baby james never thought I'd be looking forward for a Jon Jay activation.

No we wouldn't a couple from Minnesota did the same thing a couple of years back. They pled guilty and got probation.
