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

Kershaw just stole a base

Lol at the Span bobblehead. Horrible positioning of the 7 the Washington Nots

Lol at horrible positioning of the 7.

Pitchers running the bases = disaster in their next inning

 

[Hahahaha]

Trolling?

Swept KC. Make no mistake about it, Boston is winning the division.

This is the same team that will go out and win 6 in a row and then lose 9 of the next 10. AL East is up in the air but I think it'll be between Bal and NY. I still can't count out TB just because they're always in it and Maddon is remarkable. Toronto is choking and will continue on that path. Boston just isn't a good team. Last year's Red Sox season will be a Disney movie in 15 years.

I wonder why Rodney did that in the 8th and at the Angels dugout. It was pretty cool that Pujols and Trout did it

Baseball players are ridiculous, If I have to hear about one more unwritten rule.

Tell me about it

This sounds silly, but at my softball game today I had NT and the posts about baseball's unwritten rules fresh in my mind...There's this thing where you can't play catch in the infield to warm-up prior to the game...Well, it wasn't a dirt field anyway, so I pointedly warmed up just beyond first and second base as if I was standing strong to the anti-unwritten rules/courtesy thing. Sure enough, some dude (some dude ON MY TEAM) said ballplayers don't warm-up on the infield. I chuckled. Mission accomplished!

At least, I thought it was funny.

Next time play pepper near the backstop, somebody will try to shiv you, no doubt about it.

 

[651akathepaul]

Got it. Will check back with the update. All about rufflin' feathers now.

Nah...Not trying to be 'that guy,' but just figured I'd see what happens and then also realized how laughable it really was. I mean, the unwritten rules always seemed to make sense, but I think it's something I try to hold to my chest more as I get older, as if it's preserving the history of the game or something foolish, because I remember when I actually did play, our coach was all about the unwritten rules, respect the game deal, but we all just laughed because we went against that grain and still won. Totally against the unwritten rules. Woo! Liberating...

Right... Because baseball was the only place where segregation occurred.

This is a Brian Sabean move. Uggla will be a Giant before the end of the week

You called it. Uggla agreed to a minor league contract with the Giants.

 

[CP1708]

@arstyle27 the only other Cubs fan you remembered by name. Sorry, I remember his old name, my bad.

He had interest in the NBA one, but not enough to really push me for it. Maybe, he'd have more interest in the MLB one.

Osh we can locate and bug anywhere, he'll see us talkin about it eventually. Maybe post about it in the NBA draft thread where he lives. WildK is offline a lot more now due to summer activities, but he might check in (or at least give us a way to get hold of him when needed) for this type of project.

 

[CP1708]

Also, what about onewearz? He's a pretty big baseball fan, and he's on here reg, would he have any interest?

Could ask DMX too, he's a Pirate fan, could also help with updating the OP when you're offline and such.

 

[DeadsetAce]

yeah was gonna suggest DMX as well. this might cut into his gardening time, but we can ask

@dmxfury


@onewearz

 

[DeadsetAce]

and what about Venom?

Doesn't hurt have a little depth on the bench. Our bench is beyond pathetic

 

[proshares]

Venom's a no. I'll wait and see if these guys come in after the mentions.

 

[アミーゴ]

Throw me in that guys.

 

[rook]

LMAO @ Rodney

but LMFAO @ Trout/Albert. that was priceless

I am not interested in making moves that "dont hurt" us.  I want to make moves that "help us."  This move does not help us.
