I should make it clear here that I am not saying "Addison did nothing wrong" or that MLB/cops finding no evidence of wrong-doing means nothing happened. I'm sure he did some shitbag thing and I feel uncomfortable rooting for him because he's potentially a shitbag. I'm just cynical enough that I don't expect anything to happen because with no charges ever filed and the wife not cooperating there's basically nothing for MLB to base a suspension on. In Chapman's case I believe charges were filed then dropped later.

Her lawyer said she "isn't interested in legitimizing anything that doesn't come from her."

Sounds like her bestie flew off the handle, and this is the most polite way of gently easing her under the bus.

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?

A man who steals home in an NLCS game can wear his hair however the fuck he wants as far as I'm concerned.

Don't forget El Mago with that clutch RBI.

Second Half Javy:
.295/.345/.517

I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Bump for 4HR in 2 games, and managing to El Mago his way around the bases last night after striking out.

I really do understand why neutral observers look at how Javy's peaks and valleys even out and think Cubs fans overreact to a guy who is sort of just a decent player by the numbers, but also fuck those people because Javy is so very, very fun.

He is The Most Fun, and if you can watch him and give a shit about the numbers, you should only get your baseball from box scores.

some people really have become so obsessed with never being caught being an irrational, emotional fan to the point that they forget that the entire point of this is entertainment and that yes, there's a lot of value in a guy who maybe isn't a superstar just being a good player who you can never take your eyes off of because he just might do something crazy or stupid or both.
