Jorge Soler Zero Percent Financing Thud On The Shower Door SPLOOGE Fest

It'd probably be cheaper to just get a washable plastic shower liner, guys.

I knew you'd made the same joke before.

A joke that hilarious deserves to be told more than once a year.

Don't forget Almora. He's going to be a fucking beast. I still wouldn't cash out on Brett Jackson or Josh Vitters just yet either.

This is very disconcerting.

Fork is literally the very, very worst scout ever.

The Cubs being awesome is far more important than me being right.

So you're not Al Yellon then?

Or Vlahos

Seriously, that prick's only baseball related tweet since the playoffs began was to retweet an article about why players get better once they join the Cardinals.

Goff and Spiegel had a good bit this morning re-listening to Mike Shannon's call of Soler's (pronounced "Sole Are") homerun off Waino.  You could feel the exact moment his fat-and-booze-coated heart broke (and the fact that he can't even be bothered to pronounce his fucking name the right way, considering how much Jorge has battered his team, makes it extra special)

Nobody's right 100% of the time, and it's not like my mortgage payments depend on any of it.

It's why I write up the NHL draft the day it happens, and never second guess picks...it's also why I always offer the disclaimer that I thought Kyle Turris is who the Chicago Blackhawks should have taken in the 2007 draft.

Someone on the TBS crew (Eck?) was calling him that last night, too.

My favorite is the Cardinals fans and Matheny complaining about the fucking wind. How the fuck do you complain about a weather condition that affects both teams? Also, the wind was blowing out to right, and Soler, Schwarber, and Bryant all crushed it to left. If the weather conditions were normal the only difference in that game is that Schwarber's clears the basket.

I feel like Armchair_QB could find a way.

Another Cardinal-killing homer from Horgay Solar would be the balls.

Kyle Swarber, too. Or that Kyle Swabber guy. Or maybe Kyle Shwabber.

They retired Soler. We're fucked

In the April series against the Rockies, their play-by-play guy called him "Solar," as in energy, for an entire game.

His arm did it today. He's a Cardinal slayer.

What a ride it's been for George Sun.  The way he burst on the scene last September--particularly against the Cardinals.  And that month is followed by his inconsistent play and health through the early cold, days of this year.  He showed flashes, but never seemed to get on any kind of a roll like he was last year, leaving us to wonder what we had.

And then this fucking series, where I think he made it clear that as long as he's healthy we probaly don't have to worry about much at all.  I mean, that throw was from DEEP right field.  This guy.

Since he's come back from the DL he looks like he's put it all together. He's more patient, his swing is less upper-cut like and is generating more power, and as Fangraphs pointed out, this series especially he's stopped chasing bad pitches and he's been driving breaking balls. If he can sustain that, look out.
