Our friend led the seventh inning stretch and won the "finish the song-line" contest — sadly, he didn't realize he was standing behind the pole that holds up the netting the entire time so was denied screentime on the jumbotron.
I am now also a big fan of pitch clocks.

Oh good. The Cubs signed notorious homophobic shithead Daniel Murphy. I was hoping we’d get another Aroldis for me to despise in the playoffs.

He's also not any good, so it's not like you get to ignore his awful because he's driving in runs. Hope that he gets beaned in his first AB and is out for the year.

Re: MLB 2018
How much, do you think, does 2016 play into this? I can say that after 2004, I started caring a lot more about the character of players. I wanted to like them (however vague a term that is) for more than just helping win games. I suppose I was a lot more amoral before 2004, focused on wins and fuck everything else. I know you were open about your loathing of Chapman on that team, but the lust for that elusive championship complicated things a bit, no?Wolter wrote: ↑23 Aug 2018, 8:53pmI don’t blame her.

I wanted them to win without him, but I couldn’t root for him to fail outright (although in hindsight, as furious as I was in the moment, his blowing the save in 7 insured the last out wasn’t him in all of my memories)Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Aug 2018, 9:35pmHow much, do you think, does 2016 play into this?

I want Murphy to either make a complete apology or just get hit by a fucking meteor.

Though I must admit, the ballpark/AA experience was great.
