I'm waiting for the Sox to put Shark on the block. I love seeing those fuck sticks get beat!

Listening to a frustrated, lifeless Hawk has been a joy. That said, something tells me that they will turn their season around at some point. Plus, their FO genuinely seems to want to re-sign Shark, so it would take quite a freefall for them to become sellers. Hopefully we can smack them around during the crosstown series and really contribute to their demise.

I honestly don't see them being much better than .500.

Yeah, I don't think so either.  People are already calling for Ventura's head.  It's a mess over there right now.

Sux just signed Tyler Colvin to a minor league deal.

[Butcher]

Were the Astros supposed to be this good? I know they were working on a similar plan, but damn. They're kicking ass. Glad they're out of the division...

[funkster]

Brewers just canned Ron Roenicke.

[jstraw]

Nice timing.

That's very odd after this weekend. Wonder if there wasn't some disagreement on the future of the roster that triggered this now.

Also sounds like Craig Counsell could be the next manager. Joy...

[jeffy]

Very weird timing.

MLB.com is handling the pay-per-view for the five Grateful Dead farewell shows:

If I could buy stock in MLBAM I would load up. They've got their hands in all forms of media, and are the primary reason why the game, as a business anyway, is thriving.

They've talked about a spin off. I think it's inevitable.

Just another reason to laugh at the Sox (because we can't have too many):

 

2015 (24 games)

HRs: 14

Steals: 5

Errors: 20

 

That's right....the Sux has more Errors this season than HRs and Steals...combined.

[Andy]

The Cubs currently have more errors than HR.  23 to 21.  But don't tell anyone.

But they also have more SB then errors.

Very true.
