2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

Bobby Bonilla.

If you were the White Sox brass, would you deal Sale for a monster haul to replenish your farm?

 

[steelcity412]

we comin for that #1 spot!!

should be a good 5 game series with the cards, just hope we can keep up what we're doing tonight.

I was just going to ask why the Mets allow Ike Davis to hang around...

He just hit a go-ahead double (more credit to Byrd for scoring from first), but still. He's hitting .174 before that at-bat. :x

 

[Hahahaha]

Alex has the best lawyers and they're going to fight this ****. No way he's getting a lifetime ban and Alex knows this and so does his lawyer. Alex is going to go to war with baseball and they're going to come out looking bad. The info leak, the way they obtained it and their sources are all going to be abused in court. Alex doesn't have a positive drug test and his name that was listed from the Mitchell report wasn't supposed to leak and wasn't a violation. I can't wait to see Selig eat ****

Steinbrennar did this **** with Winfield and got in trouble, now the MLB is doing it Alex will appeal and play this season.


As for the worst coract, I think Pujols is worse. Alex's was terrible but I get why they signed him. He was expected to break the HR, RBI record and get 3K hits.
Pujols was already aging and they had the Alex contract to learn from

 

[champcruthik]

El Toro raking.

 

[CJ616]

Jason Giambi walk off HR for Cleveland can't increase the division lead on that team unless we're playing them ourselves, it seems.

 

[651akathepaul]

I just missed that walk-off.

Good for Giambi.

 

[651akathepaul]

Great finish in Texas. Another walk-off.

 

[tommyicerocking]

Giambi is still in the league?

 

[JD617]

Damn.

 

[651akathepaul]

Ouch. Stay classy Boston.

 

[madj55]

Personally I'd rather be in 1st place than brag about the turnout my fan base has in a terrible baseball city...

Also, that was an awful call on that Daniel Nava play at the plate. However, if Nava didn't screw up going back to tag up earlier in the inning this wouldn't have happened.

Both of these things are true.

 

[eracism]

Epic movie with a "that's it?" ending.

 

[tommyicerocking]

A-Rod should donate his career earning to the Miami Marlins

[651akathepaul]

So, is there a reason why the Reds keep Chapman as a closer instead of letting him start?


Nevermind.

 

[madj55]

Chris Denorfia takes Chapman deep to walk-off a hero, you can't predict baseball

 

[vindeezy]

Chapman relies way too much on his FB..needs yo keep hitters off balance with the slider..easy to turn fastballs around..even at 100,when youre sitting on it .leake gem wasted. Gm over just like that on a leadoff BB and a blast. Put it on a tee for Denorfia.

 

[Hahahaha]

I'm cool with Alex being suspended or something but the fact that Bud "The Dictator" Selig is over here trying to suspend him due the best interest of baseball and blah blah is disgusting. Selig will suspend him, Alex has to be appeal but Selig is the judge and jury for that

Bobby Bonilla.

No? Sale is only 24 wouldn't you want him to be the franchise player?

 

[jjs07]

Lifetime ban or not, I highly doubt we see A-Rod play another game in MLB.

Also, O's have said that Dylan Bundy is available. They need a TOR starter in the worst way. I wonder if DD is going to try to pull a rabbit out of his hat and go after Chris Sale?

 

[mr marcus]

heard 11 baseball teams draw more fans than the marlins/rays combined 

florida is a terrible sports state

 

[osh kosh bosh]

At this point is there anybody out there who believes that Bud Selig DIDN'T collude to keep Barry Bonds out of baseball?

A-Rod's in trouble, because even if he were to get this money, Bud not letting him play again.

 

[RyGuy45]

PED use aside, I hope this plays out for ARod because at the conclusion of this season he will have made $353.4 million in career salary and that won't last forever.
