Fucking hate hearing people cry about the Yankees playing A-Rod. The dude has the right to an appeal, and even the fucking Yankees have a right to a dude who will post better than a 557 OPS at 3rd.

Medlen, Beachy, and Maholm are all capable of being very good, and even dominant at times. Hopefully they find it in the next two months. And Wood has been pretty good the last two times out.

Love A.J. Griffin for no real reason other than a sick curveball that was very curvy one day so I decided I would like him. Love him and Jerry Blevins because Blevins sounds like a Jerry Lewis/Professor Frink thing to say.

Arizona Diamondbacks upcoming games:

Just finished 3 games against 1st place Boston
2 games against 2nd place Tampa Bay
3 games against 3rd place Baltimore trying to climb back into the 1st
3 games against 1st place (what?) Pittsburgh
4 games against 3rd place Cincinatti trying to climb back into 1st
An entire month of a season deciding fracas against divisional opponents

And they end it against Washington which may or may not be important games when the time comes

I'm convinced that 40 percent of the Braves lead could be attributed to incompetent divisional opponents.

I'm not denying that the Braves haven't been playing well offensively, but they have still been underperforming (in my opinion) until recently. Actually, its basically gone as Justin Upton has gone, for the most part. Uggla and BJ are huge holes in the lineup (even with Uggla's HRs and walks, which are the only things that make him passable), and Simmons wasn't doing amazingly well offensively until recently. Even Gattis' power has disappeared. But having Heyward and Justin playing well means the Braves are scary. If Heyward can stay healthy for more than a week, that is.


Minor has been great, but I say the Braves lose on paper to a ton of other playoff teams if he's the best we can put up in Game 1. And I'm not putting any stock in Teheran in the playoffs, considering how untested he is.

But to wrap up my ramblings, as a Braves fan and an Atlanta sports fan, I am allowed to be skeptical about the success of my team in the playoffs. One championship in all sports combined isn't so great, guys.

So tired of the shaving cream pie, the big jump pile at the plate on a walkoff as well as the helmet flip halfway down the 3B line I'm the case of a homer.

Thing I hate more than both is throwing the ball back after an opposing team homers at Wrigley. So fn stupid.

I'm with you on the shaving cream.

Big celebrations of walkoff HR are only acceptable in MEANINGFUL games. Let's try and tone that down when the Twins play the Astros and what have you.

Throwing back the ball is whatever.

Waving during anything less than a 4 run lead is a big no no. Wave all you want if the lead is 4 or more.

I seriously refuse to do The Wave anymore. I mean it's there for the kids to have fun, so I don't know why I care, but I think it just makes people stop paying attention to the game. And Braves fans aren't the most vocal most of the time (that one-game playoff debacle popoff was crazy), so I want them focused on the game!

What's even worse was when people in other stadiums do it. Yeah, it's a thing in Chicago, but that doesn't mean you get to do it in COLORADO, even IF the Cubs are visiting.

Hey Wave, 1986 called. They don't want you back.



So the Pirates have left:
2 vs Marlins
3 @ Rockies
3 @ Cards
3 vs Dbacks
3 @ Padres
4 @ Giants
3 vs Brewers
3 vs Cards
3 @ Brewers
3 more @ Cards
3 @ Rangers (BAN THE DH!)
4 vs Cubs
4 vs Padres
3 vs Reds
3 @ Cubs
3 @ Reds


Still feels like a LOT of baseball to determine NL Central champs.

Hate that throwing the ball back after an opposing HR has become a thing around the league. So dumb.

Here's the thing about the hr ball:

As soon as it happens everyone starts yelling to throw it back. What if I just caught a future HOFers homer? The crowd will boo the poor soul who caught it and they eventually cave. If you were to ask the crowd why should I throw it back they would yell that "its tradition". Yes. Let's keep up tradition with a team that hasn't won a championship in 104 years. Whatever you've been doing for good luck has worked wonders.

I used to work with a 55 year old closeted homosexual. He was very open with me but he hated the way he was, like a self loathing gay guy. He would insult and rip apart gay people and make fun of lesbians and the on going issue of gay marriage all the while carrying on a cyber relationship with a guy in Brazil named Luis. Frank Drebin in striking me the same way right now, a brooding and self-loathing Cubs Fan.

Two things:

1) You know why

2) People who go to Wrigley and Cubs fans can be two different groups of fans.

It's dumb because when the ball hits the field, what does the ball girl do with it? She gives it to another fan in the crowd which defeats the entire purpose of throwing it back.
