Can a team "slump" for 18 straight years? Isn't that an out-an-out slouch?

They made the right move by getting rid of that clubhouse distraction, Barry Bonds.
He wanted big money <i>and</i> he was a jerk!

In the years after Bonds was traded, the Pirates won as many World Series as Bonds did.

DH to be used in all All-Star Games, regardless of venue. DH chosen by the NL manager.

Finally.
The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.

I hate the DH...and I hate that the ASG determines WS home field advantage but as long as it does...this is a necessary change.

Ok, so I'm watching the Reds and the Mets and Nick Masset struck out Ike Davis swinging on a filthy slider, low and away to end the top of the 11th. You could see that Davis was yelling at the mound as he walked away from the plate. So the Reds broadcast obliges us with a closeup replay in super slo-mo so that everyone can read Davis' lips perfectly. As he walks away he's yelling "Throw fucking fastballs you fucking pussy!"
It was cherce. A goddam rook.

If there wasn't already some sort of history behind this...there probably is now.
That's quite a pair on a kid with 12 Games in the majors.

Just so I understand...
If a batter can't hit breaking stuff, the pitcher is a pussy if he doesn't throw him a fastball?
Interesting.
