Thanks, big guy.

That, and also please sign somewhere where you'll never hurt us, like Philadelphia.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

I was thinking more like the "Nippon Ham Fighters" or the "Greater Austin, Texas Association of Pilates and Yoga Instructors," but sure, Philly would work.

He could pitch for a team in the Vega constellation and SKO would still find a way to shit his drawers.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

A rotation with Nola and Arrieta at the top would give the Cubs fits.

They don't have much pitching not named Nola and their position player group is meh. If they added Jake they might project for 80 wins at best, maybe they get hot and compete for a second wildcard spot but I wouldn't fear them much, plus it wouldn't be the worst thing for the Nats to maybe have a slightly more difficult time cruising to their third consecutive NLDS loss.

You're right. Jake wouldn't know anything about upsets out of the second wildcard spot.

He turned the clock back to 2015 tonight, blanking the Pirates and allowing 1 hit in 7 innings.

I miss him.
