N: The Cardinals' mystery excursion was an escape room day. http://mlb.com/news/article/216859728/cardinals-visit-escape-room/ V: It would be Waino's idea, wouldn't it? In other news, I had a fever dream last night that Dexter Fowler and I became friends because he was inexplicably curious about Bankruptcy. Best fever dream ever.

I was trying to show theriot.mp4 (The Theriot blooper reel set to the Benny Hill theme) to someone the other day but I can't find it on Youtube anymore. Anyone know if it's gone or where I can find it?

The Twins were hot garbage last year but at least they might have the last pitcher to gently caress up an IBB: http://www.twinkietown.com/2017/2/22/14695852/pour-one-out-for-pat-light-and-the-botched-intentional-walk

32 CS in 95 attempts from 2008-2010. I never understood how someone so fast could be so bad at stealing bases.

N: Cubs sign Strop to an extension through 2018, with a team option for 2019. $5.85m in 2018, $6.25m if the option is picked up in 2019 with a $500k buyout. V: I am okay with this.

cebrail posted:No, it's about cheating. Like when you get caught cheating in a test it's completely irrelevant how good the rest of your test was. I don't agree with those people but they're argument isn't as ridiculous as you're portraying it. The problem is that it's intellectually bankrupt for people to complain about ~steroids~ and use that as a justification for keeping guys like Bonds and Clemens out of the Hall and basically treating them worse than Satan, yet in the same breath having no problem whatsoever with guys like Mays or Mantle or Aaron, all guys who were known users of amphetamines -- which do have a quantifiable effect upon things like reaction speed. Treating steroids like they're magic dinger juice (to which I say, Melky Cabrera lol) turns it into a horseshit game of No True Scotsman.

Hopefully Maddon can regain confidence in him and Rondon. We actually could have a top shelf bullpen this year. Maybe not top-to-bottom the best in the game, but certainly top 5.

Better than the fever dream I had about Robert Gsellman flirting with me to get me to refrain from testifying against him in court.   To contribute: N: Colby Rasmus's wife browbeat him into shaving off his terrible beard. V: Colby Rasmus is married, and I'm not.

Wade Davis was a great get, and Strop is probably one of the best setup men in baseball, but Rondon regressed badly last year (admittedly, no one knows how long he was really hurt) and the rest of the bullpen behind them is a bunch of question marks -- Edwards badly needs to get his changeup worked out, Grimm is a classic Jekyll and Hyde type guy and ... who the hell else do they have? Uehara's rapidly aging carcass?

Players who have greasy hair and scraggly beards are great, they embrace the fact they've made it in life. They are being paid millions of dollars to play baseball and don't have to give a poo poo about how they look and I think it's fantastic. Colby Rasmus should be looked up to in this regard, more mullets well we're at it.

It was pretty similar from 2004-2009 or so. Once they made that playoff run in 03, you had to jump on tickets the first hour they went on sale. It died down once they went into their period of sucking.

Montgomery or Anderson (whichever doesn't make the rotation), Duensing, Strop, CJ, Davis, Rondon, Zastryzsny (sp?), Grimm.... Got some good options there.

I'm on the season ticket holder waiting list for the cubs. I don't even live in Chicago. However, I would totally live there and in 20 years when that comes to pass I'll get a email about the pass being available
