Where in the sweet hell is Teel

Hicksquidy would be better imo 😆

Defensive replacement

fedde was the guy bumped from the rotation right? Love that guy

Just stomping on the Twins’ neck. Love it. That may just about end their season.

They should. At this point the harder you try, the dumber you look

You’re so close

Twins really needed a sweep. Nope

Yeah, that's definitely what I was hoping for.

Eugenio Suarez OPS while helping Venezuela win the WBC this year -- 1.247. You think this guy might like big moments?

This is a guy who could absolutely blow up in a playoff run in a way few RH hitters on our current roster is likely to do. He had a .956 OPS in the ALCS last year.

Just so we're on the same page, this is a dude who hit 49 home runs just last season. Yes, he's having a historically subpar season so far but Randal Grichuk he ain't. Sounds like it may be a moot point, though.

...this allowed me to wear my Geoff Blum World Series jersey to the Sox/Astros playoff game in Houston where Astros announcer Geoff Blum threw out the first pitch. One of my greatest ever troll jobs, even complimented by multiple Astros fans. You're welcome. (Let's not talk about the rest of my trip.)

Yes, please.

Who are we talking about here? Missed it

Yes, one of the factors that hasn't been discussed enough is that it's not just about the size of the lead, it's the number of teams chasing you. For a long time it was three, which is a lot and virtually guarantees that somebody from the field is going to make a run. I'm hopeful that our sweep began the process of knocking the Tigers out; that's one down. I'd like to knock Minnesota out next. Then it's a one-on-one battle against Cleveland where we control our own destiny.

Precisely. I don’t think the approach reflected arrogance but caution and a pragmatic acceptance that this fun, way-ahead-of-schedule team is far from a legitimate World Series contender.

Oh god - I hope they can bounce back from that 40 minute flight and at least salvage the last game of the series

It would be a great day for Burke to return to form, and for the offense to build on last night's long-awaited outburst. Win today and make it back-to-back series wins against a red hot Mets team and a team that came in as a division leader.

If you truly believe “this is the year and this is the team” then why would you settle for Jo Adell and Clay Holmes? They could’ve emptied the cupboards and gotten a lot more.

Mully was my favorite Score personality. He’s the one voice I’ve consistently listened to for years — always tuned in on my way to work, from back when he was with Brian Hanley. I’m shocked. I definitely won’t be listening for Haugh, who is an incredibly annoying and biased Cub fan (and also clearly a football guy).

No, he's a washed out bum [Edit: yes, obviously.]

Baseball is great. We know nothing. Fvck the Cubs straight to the moon. Amen, please and thank you.

Yeah, even as an affirmed Cub hater this is taking it way too far. I'd trade a double-sweep from the Cubs for a playoff appearance 10 times out of 10.
