I was lucky enough to attend tonight's game, and even luckier that our group ended up with some passes to go onto the field during batting practice. We saw the Cubs final couple of groups and I now completely understand how a scout can fall in love with a player.  The hitters were mostly just timing up pitches and taking what appeared nice, easy swings.  The difference between Soler and everyone else was that he was taking these effortless cuts and just smashing line drives that were landing 10-15 rows up in the left field bleachers.  I'm still a little hard just thinking about it.

Where'd ya sit?  That fading Internet Star Kermit came by my seats for a few innings.  If only Fork were there, too, we could've re-created the founding of Hockeenight.

Section 127, on the first base line towards the home plate end of the visitors dugout. 

Not sure you can really re-create the founding of Hockeenight without having Bobby Howry there to pee all over himself on the mound though.

And then being attacked by a dudebro in cargo shorts and a Cubs home jersey.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

#1 on the list, though, would have to be the makeup game in September 2007, when we cheered on a  golden sombrero for Ankiel and alienated another Desipiot's seatneighbors

Power hitting Jorge has come to haunt your fucking nightmares, NL playoff contenders

Maybe it'd be cheaper to just keep replacing shower curtains.

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

I knew you'd made the same joke before.

He seems different, in that he isn't striking out on 4 pitches every at bat..  and you'd have to think the minor league instructors will have a plan for the first time in forever.. I'm not sure what to think, it's an odd feeling. Baez, Soler, vizcaino, vogelbach all seem like legit prospects. And we have the #2 pick in the draft. What a time to be alive.

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.

Kris Bryant mended so many broken hearts.

Zero Percent Financing, Eli!

Considering inflation, it's like Jorge is paying us to thud on our shower doors.

So, 0% on a  DreamLine Enigma-X 56-in to 60-in W x 76-in H Frameless Sliding Shower Door for $924.11 is cheaper than a Hookless EVA/PEVA Frosty White Solid Shower Liner for $11.98 even at 21.99% APR credit card rates?

The financing isn't the whole cost, kids.
