Instead of this "who is the handsomest" business, it would be fun to see a photo of the ugliest person from each team.

I'll start: Roberto Osuna.

Does anyone remember that site that had weekly or maybe daily updates of goings on in baseball but they were set to what were basically chat rooms or text chains?

I remember them being hilarious

:siren: ATTENTION: CHICAGOONS :siren:

I don't want to keep clogging up the N/V thread with this stuff, so I'm just going to post it once. Once I get all the SAS Chicagoons' cell numbers, I won't need to post here to advertise anymore. :v:

We're having another meetup this Sunday (May 28) at noon at Links Taproom in Wicker Park. We've currently got myself, Poque, Popete, Explosionface, and Joey Freshwater attending, with Pancakes tentatively attending. If you want to join us, either PM me for my cell number or just show up at Links at noon on Sunday and you'll be able to identify Poque by his giant sparkling World Series ring. :swoon:

Don't forget!

Yeah it was fun to meet everyone! I'm sure we'll do it again.

Wish I could have stuck around to watch the game. But instead I got a bunt single and scored a run off a former KBO league pitcher :smug:

never bunt.

Pretty much the only sane response in the whole fiasco, lol who loving carries a grudge over a batter doing his job against you 2+ years ago? Do I have to worry about Javy getting drilled in the head the next time he faces Strickland because he had the audacity to single up the middle in the NLDS last year?

literally the entire giants fanbase was super mad at Javy for having the absolute gall to be excited about that hit, despite it being because Strickland threw at him the last time he'd been up :jerkbag:

literally

so, yes, probably, since Strickland is a whiny fuckbaby

in a vacuum it's funny to think about somebody reacting to their own inability to get somebody out with intentionally not getting them out again, but in Real Life trying to hit somebody with a 98 mph fastball is insane garbage

That's nice, only the Yankees have two starters and the rest is spread around between teams.

This might be Anibal Sanchez's best bet on lowering his HR/9

I went to look for other pitchers for the NL and grabbed Jered Weaver

but then I saw that Mike Fiers is pitching as bad as he is WITH an 87.6% LOB (good for third-best in the majors if he qualified in IP), what's he going to look like if that regresses?? You'd have to hope that his 30% HR/FB ratio also regressed, I guess

I would like to nominate John "21% HR/FB" Lackey for the HRD.

he appears to be at 50% in the first inning, just require that to be put up on the scoreboard :haw:

(but that's a bit funky since he has given up two first inning homers on "line drives" so I dunno if that adds to the denominator or not)

At least I'll get to see Fowler get his WS Ring and a standing ovation at Wrigley on Friday before the Cardinals absolutely grind up the Cubs into a fine powder and snort them. :unsmith:

I just meant on TV. :( I'm actually pretty bummed about that I probably won't make it to a single Wrigley game this year. Maybe this will finally be the year I she'll out hundreds of dollars for a good seat at AT&T when the Cubs are in town.

He had like a 70% FB rate going into this week. Anyone know what the record would be for a season?

57.3%, 2006 Frank Thomas, at least among qualified batters.

Gallo is also above that so far in 2017
