Gentlemen, we have a game a PNC park to discuss. Let’s make it happen!

No, no, I get it. Clevelanders are so used to not winning that they don't understand the etiquette of it. Maybe the stench in the air over East Cleveland is despair, maybe failure, maybe the Cuyahoga. In any event, your faux pas is perfectly understandable.

Your mental health professionals were probably overwhelmed when LeBron James actually did his think just because Clevelanders didn't know what to do with success.

Your reprized PMag will be just fine.

He’s the only player or coach I’ve seen ejected in person.

The Cubs didn’t win the series with him there, so he should be good for Baltimore.

Yeah I probably should have proposed brewers last I win, pirates last he wins but whatever. Its kugel and its only a Pmag which I have a brazillian of. Id give him one anyways if he asked so no biggie.

And I also see Yelich coming back to earth. A BABIP that high is unsustainable for anyone not named Barry Bonds. He was incredibly lucky. Im not saying he sucks at all. Hes very good. But his past season was extreme. Also throw in all the coaching changes, player changes and improvements to the rest of the division.. I dont think theyll have a chance.

But I also predicted the Cards winning the div last season, and the Nats going to the WS, so what do I know really wrt the NL.

I called Brew Crew and Front Row Amy's awesome rockin' tits taking the NLC before Opening Day, so I'll always have that going for me. Yelich will probably have a good year, maybe even a great one, but not like last year. I'm just worried that Aaron Judge comes out of his Sophomore Slump and just becomes a HR machine again.  Then again, I'm hoping Josh Bell does come out of his and becomes the machine he was in '17.

I'm cool with nixing the original bet in favor of a new one. Pirates suck the worst out of the division, I get a Pmag. Brewers in the basement, you get Pepperoni Rolls in the mail (or in person if in Sept if it's a mathematical certainty that they can't not be worst). Deal?

Also, because it's a new year...

Ahem...

heck it's just a Pmag.  LOL.  I got STL, CHI and MIL fighting it out for the division.  CIN and PIT struggling to stay out of the basement.  But baseball is weird.  ya never know.  Last year when the Cards were chasing first Stanton then Ozuna I was on a Cards board stating Yelich was the guy to get.  Stanton costs too much and Ozuna was a one year wonder while Yelich was quietly rising as a star.  I didn't expect this much but I wasn't shocked.

Can't wait for the season to start.  Heck, I'm still checking every day to see if STL jumped into the deep end and signed Harper or Machado.

Hyde got ejected because the batter asked for and was granted time.  The umpire took umbrage that said batter didn't thank him.

Machado is the better player.  But yeah, his personality isn't the best.

Harper is the right kind of guy.  But the Cards already have money in Fowler in RF.

So while I agree they are a long shot to sign either it isn't that the won't spend that much.  Below are a list of guys STL made significant offers to:

Pujols 10/$210 mil
Price 7/$187 mil
Heyward 8/$200 (rumor)
Stanton traded for him and his entire 11/$250 mil

The Cards appear willing to wade into the deep end.  But it hasn't happened yet.  I expect if either Harper or Machado see their dreams of 10/$350 mil drop into 7/$250 Cards will be in.

I don't remember who was batting, but the dugout was not happy with the way the strike zone was being called. So 2nd Inning, Clint is standing in the dugout, a mouth full of gum, and someone strikes out. The dugout is livid, and the bench coach said something that the ump didn't like, but he didn't see who shouted. He just ejected Clint. He didn't even shrug, just handed the papers to the bench coach and walked into the clubhouse.

Ray Searage, Bucs pitching coach, got ejected in '16 against the Cubs. He went out to talk to the pitcher, the ump felt he was taking too long, Searage didn't respect his au-thor-it-y, and got tossed. May 14. 2016.

White Sox made an offer to Machado today.

I doubt he'll take it because the rest of the team is weak...but...if they are making him THE franchise player and build a team around him, and if the Kittens get good again, it would make the ALC interesting again.

I don't remember who was batting, but the dugout was not happy with the way the strike zone was being called. So 2nd Inning, Clint is standing in the dugout, a mouth full of gum, and someone strikes out. The dugout is livid, and the bench coach said something that the ump didn't like, but he didn't see who shouted. He just ejected Clint. He didn't even shrug, just handed the papers to the bench coach and walked into the clubhouse.

Ray Searage, Bucs pitching coach, got ejected in '16 against the Cubs. He went out to talk to the pitcher, the ump felt he was taking too long, Searage didn't respect his au-thor-it-y, and got tossed. May 14. 2016.

It's amazing what you learn when the talking heads stop braying like jackasses and say something important.
