Comments
Looks as if the Pirates might beat the Braves again. I guess firing the manager didn’t improve the team much.

Crap. I thought that was gone.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Wow. What a catch.
dmick89Quote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
Me too. Surprised it wasn’t long gone.

dmick89,
Anderson kept throwing those fastballs right down the middle. No wonder he’s given up so many homers.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Quick and and easy for Hendricks.
dmick89Quote Reply
Anderson isn’t fooling the Cubs hitters, but the Brewers put magnets in their gloves.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
(dying laughing) just testing
dmick89Quote Reply
I think Anderson is in for a tough time when the lineup comes around for the second and maybe third time tonight.
dmick89Quote Reply
This game is on pace to be the luckiest no-hitter is history.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
anyone surprised that bautista only got one game and odor got eight?
EnricoPallazzoQuote Reply
EnricoPallazzo,
No, because Bautista had the hard slide and the stare, but Odor pushed first, then threw the first punch.

Did the Cubs forget to bring their bats on this road trip?
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
The Cubs could have scored about 5 runs in their first 7 or 8 batters tonight. Not much since.
dmick89Quote Reply
If the Cubs get no-hit today I’m punching you all in the dicks or dick areas if you don’t have dicks.

A baserunner!
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
At least there won’t be a perfect game.
dmick89Quote Reply
I seem to be getting bent out of shape about this game more than I would have in years past because, hey, it could happen to us in the playoffs. (2008 comes to mind.)

Yeah, the losses this year (and last) hit me hard.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
I’m so glad Hendricks was allowed to hit with a man on base so he could face the Brewers’ lineup a third time.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ugh.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
I mean I get it but Bautista clearly escalated the situation and could have seriously hurt Odor.
I think Odor’s suspension is reasonable but I do not think that Bautista’s transgression was only one-eighth as bad as Odor’s. 2 or 3 games for Bautista would not have seemed like overkill.
EnricoPallazzoQuote Reply
EnricoPallazzo,
It’s totally stupid all around but I feel like MLB kinda sorta implied that Bautista’s slide was not a huge deal which I absolutely don’t agree with.
EnricoPallazzoQuote Reply
Thank god for Ben Zobrist.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
This game sucked.
dmick89Quote Reply
EnricoPallazzo,
I’ll agree to that
JoshQuote Reply
dmick89,
I’ll agree with that
JoshQuote Reply
There goes the shutout.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Consolation prize!!
JoshQuote Reply
Double consolation prize!!?
JoshQuote Reply
I’m glad they chased the starter out of the game, at least.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
This game alone, I’ve had to log in about 50 times.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
I quit trying to log in until dmick figures it out
JoshQuote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
I kind of wish Counsel had kept him in at this point.
JoshQuote Reply
I guess reloading the page logs me in. Weird.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
When I log in it kicks me to the home page. When I go to a page, it logs me out.
JoshQuote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
You don’t have to login. Just reload the page a time or two. Users aren’t getting logged out. It just appears as though they are.
dmick89Quote Reply
Miguel Montero played for the Cubs last season? I was NOT paying attention. Why was that? Probably just the horrible divorce etc
joshQuote Reply
Cardinals lose.

New shit
