I hate baseball with the burning fire of a thousand suns.

Hockey is where it's at.

At least the losing streak justified our bitching. What will we complain about now?

I've said all along that these Braves are a special (needs) bunch.

In addition to free admission, Ferguson residents will be provided a concession stand they can loot during the 7th inning stretch.

Don't forget, fans, that next week in Chicago it's Die Hard night. Free admission to anyone who was alive the last time the Cubs played in the World Series.

Fire Freddie G.

Are MLB managers scared of pissing off their own players? Or have they just become too lazy to apply Baseball Strategy 101 to their decisions? This used to frustrate me to no end with Bobby Cox and I watched it again last night with Freddie Gonzales. It's the bottom of the 8th. Score tied at 3. First batter is AJ Prierzimininski who strokes a single to right. What do you do? Hey, they're putting in a much faster pinch runner. Sweet. Kelly Johnson coming to the plate. Surely he's going to square around and bunt. Let's see if he can lay this one down the first base line and move the go ahead run into scoring position.

I won't go on with this. Obviously, he never went up there with the intent to move the runner into scoring position. He swung away from the start and flew weakly out to center, as did the next two Braves. Is bunting just no longer part of the game? In that situation, laying down a bunt is the ONLY option. There's no thinking about it. No other strategy.

Everytime I see you hit one in the air, you owe me 20 push-ups.

The Cubs are clearly the best team in baseball. They should win that division by 12-15 games and cruise into the World Series. May set a record for wins.

And while we are at it, can we change the name of the Cy Young Award to The Jake Arrieta Award? May he have a long career, free of Tommy John Surgery, and ACL injuries.

Lalalalala, I'm not listening to any of you.
