Lower Wacker Drive: No particular reason, other than it's kind of fun to say "Wacker." Also close to Billy Goat Tavern.

He's on a mission from God

The Braves got such an incredible start to the season that despite going 6-11 in their last 17, they're still in first place. They need to get this shift fixed.

Looks like the Cards have quietly become the class of the NL.  Checked the box scores this morning and they're sitting at 20-11.

I just want to say Yu Darvish is a man among boys...

That is all...

It's all been starting pitching (I'd like to send that to the owner of the Angels - spend all that money on bats, and they still suck).  We are a full run better than anyone else in the NL with our starters.  Our bullpen, however, is the worst in baseball.  You turn on Baseball Tonight, though, and it's like baseball doesn't exist west of the Hudson River and outside L.A.

I expect the starters to revert to mean sooner or later though.  Although it's nice to see that 4 of the 5 starters, the Cards have locked in for at least 3 more years - and 2 of them are either in their 2nd season, or their rookie year.

Too bad the rest of that team hasn't been the last couple of Octobers.

Glad he didn't pitch last night...

Yeah...

fuck you.

The Rangers have lost only 2 series this year, and both are to Chicago teams.

all in all though:

20-12>12-20

[Snaggletiger]

Yep, he went there.

Craig Sweet Cheeks Kimbrel comes in with a 4-3 lead in the 9th.  Gets the first two batters.  Full count to the 9th place hitter.  BAM...game tied.  Next batter.  Sin Shoo Choo Foo MooShoo Gai Pan...BAM...game over.

Best closer in baseballz last year. Now 3 blown saves in his last 5 outings.

Sounds like he's ready for the Cardinals bullpen.

And our offense is so Jekyll/Hyde.

Of our 12 losses, 6 have come with the starting pitching giving up 2 runs or fewer.

To further pile on (Sad when our teams are in first) the Braves have to be on pace to set a strikeout record.  They're striking out in double digits virtually every single game. Honestly, no excuse for that.  You've got proven hitters throughout this line up but they all seem to have no discipline at the plate, save for Freddie Freeman.

I wish you two would quit bitching.  It's not like you aren't going to play in the NLCS.  The Orioles on the other hand will not finish better than third.  We can't get over that hump and even if we could........pffffffftttttttttttttt.   Rangers would beat that ass.  As a matter of fact I think that it doesn't matter who wins the NLCS, the Rangers are the most badass and complete team in MLB.  This could possibly be their best team ever.  I don't see anyone that can stop them. 

[Buzz Killington]

Two in a row for the Cubs...win another and we call that a winning streak.

They need one of these in their locker room.

This^^^ well...that last part of this^^^.  The Bravos are falling apart at the seams and will be lucky to play .500 ball by season's end.  The Rangers, on the other hand....now THAT'S one hell of a team.

Astros have exactly 9 wins this year.

Fuck all y'all.
