I feel a little bad for Dusty Baker.

I don't

If only our pitching can hold the opponents to -1 runs.

CJ and Wade off to a great start.

Wade off to a great start.

Didn't somebody run stats on CJ on back-to-back days, and the results were suboptimal?

I seem to recal that.

As much well-deserved shit as we've given him on here, that was one helluva ride into the sunset.

I hate Lackey as much as the next guy but that was a hell of a start.

This should be in the "I admit it..." thread, but until 1998, I was a reasonably big Brewers fan. When I was a kid, our antenna on top of our house in Libertyville would pick up Milwaukee stations, including Channel 18, which had exciting AMERICAN LEAGUE baseball action in the early '80s. So, I'd watch the Cubs during the day and put on the Brewers at night.

This continued when we got cable as they included Channel 18 among the basic cable channels. So all of a sudden I had access not only to the Cubs, but the Brewers and the hated Mets and the dull Barves. The Brewers were exciting when they won 13 in a row in 1987 and Molitor had his 39-game hitting streak. I went to a ton of games at County Stadium; I saw Nolan Ryan win #300 there, I liked the early 90s Brewers teams, particularly the 1992 team with Cal Eldred and Yount and Molitor and GREG VAUGHN. I was in high school then, and a trip up to Milwaukee, a $4 bleacher ticket, $6 parking split 4 ways, and cheap ballpark food made for a cheap date.

One summer during college I was in the bleachers for a Sox-Brewers game. I think it was 1995 (could have been 1994), and the place was packed with Sox fans. I embedded myself with the natives, and stuck out a long rain delay that occurred largely before beer sales were cut off. By 1 am as the Brewers completed a comeback, one of my new fast friends told me "It's a good thing all those assholes from Illinois have left."

They were my girlfriend. The Cubs were my wife. When Bud Selig moved the Brewers into the NL, it was like your girlfriend moving in next door to you and your wife, and your girlfriend picking fights with her. The dalliance had to end. So, it did, with the exception of the last weekend of 2003 and then the 2011 National League Championship Series. I attended Game 6 at Miller Park and after exposure to Cardinals fans seated nearby, it was impossible to stay neutral.

But screw them all up there.

I am completely unrepentant in my love for Harvey's Wallbangers, Gorman Thomas in particular.

Non-Cubs teams I liked a lot:

2014-15 Royals
2004 Red Sox
2002 Angels
Zito/Mulder/Hudson Era A's
Lou Piniella Era Mariners
90s Indians.

The 90s/2000s had several teams that should absolutely have won rings (A's/Mariners/Indians) and got cockblocked by that god awful Yankee dynasty.

I tend to follow the Twins because I was in ollege in the Twin Cities when they won the World Series in 87 and the team's in that era were fun to watch.

I was also in college up there in 85 and throughly enjoyed the misery of Vikings fans that year. The McMahon game on Thursday night is one of my favorite NFL games ever.

What blown call?

That inning saved an umpire's life.

He's still a thin-skinned asshole.

Let's call it right now once and for all: the most fun player in baseball. Fight me.

The amazing thing is that although his control of the strike zone isn't great, it isn't Dunston-ian (talk about a relatively fun player, and Baez is a couple powers of fun beyond Shawon), and his fun-creating ability doesn't come with stupid-plays-that-drive-you-up-a-fuckin-wall-making tendency. How many horrible mental errors has he made?

You mean besides his hair?
