grilledcheese Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Since April is already locked, even though I have 75 minutes left in the month here in California, I will come here to lament about LAD dropping their sixth straight. To the motherfucking Pads, no less!! Stripling gives up 5 ER, and down they go. Luckily, the NL West is absolute dogshit right now with not a single goddamn team at .500 or better. LAD and SFG sit "atop" the division with records of 12-13. Edited May 1, 2016 by grilledcheese
The Man Known as Dan Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Cubs are 17-5. They might be the best hitting, best pitching, best fielding, and best baserunning team in baseball so far. They had a +79 Run Differential in 22 games. They had a +81 Run Differential all of last season when they won 97 games. All of this with only 3 regulars batting above .250. I just... what?

The Phillies. ...after starting the season 0-4. You have nothing to be surprised about..
zev Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 @grilledcheese I share in your lament. I'm not saying they should be 22-3 just because of who all is on their massive payroll, but geez you'd think a winning record going into May wouldn't have been a problem.

Obviously, the expectations of a payroll like theirs are super high, but I think this looks to be the best team they have fielded in the last couple of years. When Ethier gets back, they can sit Crawford and all the bumblefuck OF play that comes with him. Kershaw plays stopper today, CG SO, 14 K, 3 H, no BB. Oh, and he drove in the games only run. That fucking dude is otherworldly. He was perfect until 2 outs in the 5th, when Alexei Ramirez singled down the line in RF, tried to stretch it and got hosed by Puig on a throw he never even came set on. 1
Joe Lucia Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 After 25 games, the Pirates and Phillies have the same record...like we all predicted. Also, the Cardinals are just 1-8 against teams above .500.
Pete Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Seriously, can we just make Joe Manager-for-Life and be done with it? 1

Craig H Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Joe will be happy to know there might be justice in this world. Fox Sports will not hire Curt Schilling. Now, Fox News on the other hand...

RIPPA Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 John Danks was DFAed by the White Sox The Sox will be eating $15.75 million on that one

The rumblings are getting louder, but it seems like it has gone from multiple suspensions to one person getting popped.
sabremike Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 How stupid do you have to be to fail one of these tests? Seriously, anyone with even a cursory knowledge of these things has to know which stuff will get you popped and what won't. 1
