Amazing

lolol

So does this picture mean a Braves fan did it? Infield fly?

So Lance Berkman is not too enamored with Wrigley Field.

Comments are fantastic.

You're a good man and a scholar, Mr. Berkman.

 

[BFIB]

I remember him making a comment when he signed with the Cards, being back in the NL. It was something around liking NL ballparks more "except for Wrigley."

Berkman comments are always gold.

Oh for the love of all things holy...Coward warning, please.

Is there a transcription?

coward warning? I don't get it.

"It's one of the worst places in baseball for, well, just about anything," Berkman told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and the Dallas Morning News. "I really don't like it. I read where they got approval for some more upgrades. Count me in the group of people extremely happy to see that. I guess I'm just spoiled.

"There is a tremendous history associated with it and there is something special about playing on the same field that guys like Babe Ruth did. But really, what kind of history is there? It's not like there has been one championship after another. It's mainly been a place for people to go and drink beer."

For the record Ian Kinsler and Derek Holland can't wait to play there.

You'd drink to excess too Lance if you had to watch the Cubs every year.

Yes, Wrigley is a dump, but people from miles around like to come inside. Kinda like Berkman's wife, except people usually fondly remember their visit to Wrigley.

C'mon Al-Gor!

 

[Square Triangle]

Amazing lol

 

[Askani]

Finally saw the Escobar replay. Super job to turn two.

Really want to see KC take one here. Would be awesome.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Wrigley rooftop seats gotta suck.

 

[eznark]

 

[Askani]

You score one, but then waste a runner who was already on second trying to steal third. I don't get it.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Good grief, LoCoain. Cmon.

 

[eznark]

Both runners were going, how do you blame Cain?

 

[newjeruse]

Trail runner only goes when he sees Cain going.

 

[eznark]

Looked like they both left to me but I just caught the tail end of it. Always safe to blame Yost.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Oh, I guess I'm just blaming Cain because he got caught. I guess I'm probably blaming the wrong Brewer and Yost is a better target.

Jonathan Papelbon: Professional dumbass

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Like a true midwesterner, I'm listening to the Royals, eating homemade BBQ, and have the weather map open because there's a tornado watch.

Decisions matter, not outcomes.

Seems like a legitimate point.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

BJ just drilled Wade in the ass!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Double! Upton plz

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Wow, what the fuck, did the Royals pay this umpire off? Davis has been getting some shittacular calls all game.

 

[carlos]

agreed, eric gregg jr sighting.

That's like 6 or 7 times pitch trax is showing blown calls.

easy for Davis to have no walks when he gets 8 inches on both sides of the plate

edit: fuck!, snitkered again!

 

[eznark]

That was one of the worst sends I have ever seen.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Getz is having a pretty nice road trip so far, dang.

 

[zychi]

coward warning? I don't get it.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Look at Lance's batting average in Wrigley.

MLBN was talking about this yesterday.

 

[rekameohs]

hahahahahahahaha

Holy shit!

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Alright, Kelvin. Here's your shot at redemption.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Hey Braves, why'd you steal the Chiefs' war whoop song?

I put the pork and sausage in the bread and made little half sandwiches!

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

So the ump was that bad?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

This fucking umpire can go to hell

 

[Runus]

This fucking umpire can go to hell

Yep, that was some of the worst ball/strike calls I have personally seen this year.

We can just start a new streak tomorrow. We were bound to lose one soon.

 

[vas_a_morir]

This sucks. I wish they would have finished the game yesterday.

Also, time to DFA the entire Braves team. They lost a game.
