I know no such things.....I still get pissed at games like that 2nd one at Wrigley.....I may have a problem. One more thing...why the hell did the offense get worse after the deadline? I'm not thrilled about the Burger trade but he shouldn't have made that much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they took their 2nd best HR hitter off the team. Last year was it no one hit 20 HR's . This year you had 2 guys would were headed for over 30. Can't win with a whole bunch of guys who don't get on base and .600ish OPS .  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of comments saying the same thing, inflating offensive stats to make the changes look better.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
