Oh for fucks sake.  How in God's name did they get worse?

It's shocking how quiet the Reds have been since the Chapman fiasco.

I wonder if the Cubs have given the Rockies a call on Blackmon.

I'm sure they probably have. The FO had interest in him even last offseason. In terms of other Rockies OFs, I don't want CarGo, as some are suggesting we do. He's always hurt, is still expensive, and his road splits are ugly.

All Rockies numbers will be a little slanted toward being better at home.  That said, his road numbers are below average.  Not sure he's a good fit for the Cubs.
I got nothin'.

Although I'm sure I won't like it if the Cubs have to face him, there's really no move I want to happen more than Cueto to the Cardinals just to drive all of the BFIB insane.  They've hated him and called him a thug (loaded racial words are St. Louis's native tongue) ever since that fight 5 or so years ago.

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena.  [Image: ITgoyeg.png]

I think there's enough cognitive dissonance going on in their tiny collective grey matter to look past it after the initial shock wears off.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Brett Lawrie to the White Sox.  Has he done shit in the last five years?
