Nice slide by AJ to make sure Stewart had no throw. I wonder if Alexei was watching?

Cheapest tickets on StubHub today were $19

The majority of those were resales, so there are going to be empty seats. People aren't willing to pay the ridiculous face value prices they are putting on these tickets.

Man, gotta love that tradition on display right there! Pitchers bunting, WOOOOO!!

Da Aza 6-3 to end it. 2-1 going to bottom of 2

Except having to use a bench player as the DH when the AL team often employs one full time

I love that Len & Bob discuss Fangraphs stats and win expectancy. What do you think about that Hawk?

It's not what you hit, it's when you hit it!

I'm sure opposing fans watching will say AJ is such an asshole and a dirty player for trying to take out Stewart at 3B.

It really is. The more you think about it, the dumber it is. Things evolve. Its time the NL got with the program.

Well, that's 34 pitches for Jeff to get through 2 innings. Would be nice to run that total up and hit the Cubs pen by the 6th.

They'd be half right

Sorry that is not giving up anything.......do not need as many bench players in AL parks.

I love Hawk, but the one thing I'm still trying to figure out,

 

"It's not who you play, but when you play them".

 

It doesn't make sense.

I think AJ LOVES pissing off Cub fans

Yeah, but AL teams build their offense around a DH. NL teams build their offense around the rest of their lineup.

 

Losing one of your best hitters is a lot worse than adding a good hitter to a lineup that is good enough without that player.

How does that make sense?

 

I know we're all Sox fans, but this idea that interleague play only helps the NL is ridiculous. Besides, look at the results for the past decade.

Say that to the Philadelphia 76ers

ADA with a long run on a sky high pop up to short center. One down.

First pitch out there. Two down

They were still playing the Bulls.

The Cubs have to DH Reed Johnson & Joe Mather, while their opponents get to DH Dunn or David Ortiz. That's a big difference.

Can't we just agree that regardless of who it systematically hurts, that the separate rules s*** is stupid?

Sorry but it is a major competitive advantage. And I don't know what needing bench players has to do with anything

They still don't lose a vital part of their offense like AL teams do.
