"I know you guys all hate the guy, I don't like him either, it's DFA time, feel free to call him out in the media please"
June 28, 20178 yr Lol. Montero was s*** there, but it's fine for their manager to accuse other players of dirty plays and roiding when his own players are as guilty or more likely. No one in that clubhouse mad about Grandpa Joe yapping his way to .500, huh?

Montero called out his teammate so their response is to call him out.lmao okay then.
June 28, 20178 yr QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 11:22 AM) The the Winnebago driving, wine drinking liberal manger is being dragged to the white house for a second visit as champions to appease the owner. Everything went right the last three years for them at an incredible clip. They caught some tremendous breaks in the post season that covered the actuality of the situation and made them appear much better than they actually were this year is kind of what I thought they were last year. A solid 84-90 win team that doesn't have the rotation to win it all. I don't see why his politics should matter, but he's also speaking to a group of young republicans while he is in town.

If he was sticking around I doubt Rizzo would have said anything Now, it just looks like a guy kicking the guy on the way out

June 28, 20178 yr He was still really salty on the radio this afternoon. He was making excuses as to why Contreras is able to throw out runners at a better rate than him. Basically saying its not because Contreras is better hes just getting better opportunity than him. And then yeah, there is the whole maybe Rizzo misses Ross thing. LOL I am frankly surprised Montero wasnt just let go before this season started.
June 28, 20178 yr Nats are blowing Lackey up. Their offense already is the best in the NL, imagine if they had Eaton

July 1, 20178 yr There are only five NL teams over .500 after 81 games, and the Cubs aren't one of them.
July 1, 20178 yr Who would have thought that after 81 games the Cubs would be scoring fewer runs/game than the Sox?
