  1. yeah, I'm betting ChiTown could verify for us.
  2. You, Moses, Job... I mean, who doesn't, really?
  3. No, I think you summed up his general incompetence in that inning quite nicely.
  4. Is this you?!? http://cdn.hellogiggles.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/01/oldlady.jpg
  5. Can someone with more experience help me out here--is it usually a good thing when the opposition bats around in the first inning?
  6. Sure, if all that matters to you is the outcome, but not the process. Chris Colabello, either actively or through negligence, circumvented the well-established and well-known rules of his profession. Simply because "it's just a game" or "just for entertainment" doesn't make it ok on a personal level, and just as we would condemn that behavior in our politicians, we should condemn it in all people. Now, I don't think the punishment should be the same, because the impact, as you said, is apples and oranges. But morality and right and wrong shouldn't be based on the number of people hurt/affected.
  7. I completely agree that there is a big difference in importance and impact, but it doesn't change the reality of what one is doing. Either it's cheating or it's not. Just because it's only a dollar doesn't make taking a candy bar from Target without paying not stealing.
  8. Except that every team has a training staff that can be called year-round, and asked questions about any kind of supplement. If he truly isn't trying to cheat, why wouldn't he call and say someone just gave me supplement X, is that ok for me to take? He's either lying about not knowing how it got in his system, or reckless to the point of stupidity.
  9. Not looking to start something here, but if I'm understanding your first 4 points correctly, you have no problem with cheating so long as it's done in the pursuit of a dream with sizable financial upside. So for example, you are all good with someone who's dream is to be President stuffing the ballot box in order to ensure election.
  10. I'm reasonably certain, barring breaking leprosy news, that both Miguel Sano and Joe Mauer have two arms.
  11. You know the bats are alive when Kurt Suzuki almost goes yard.
  12. Ozzy seems to like getting an MLB paycheck.
  13. Cory Provus says the exit velocity was 112 mph. My goodness.
  14. Make that 5 runs in. Rodon allows 8 baserunners, and only gets one out.
  15. I'm a big fan of the Angels loading the bases in the 1st against the dirty, cheating South Siders, with 4 runs already in.
  16. That Lucroy at-bat broke Gameday--it's refusing to update.
  17. I can't wait for Molitor to be fired, and then Gardenhire will take over as "interim" manager, only to have the interim tag removed after the season. I'm only half kidding.
  18. "We've just got to keep going out there everyday and playing hard, and the hits will start falling. The guys battled today, there's no quit in this group."
  19. You know you're struggling when the Twins announcer mentions "just a .103 average". Looking in your direction CJ Cron.
