Twitter tells me the Reds are planning on celebrating Chipper Jones' career in an upcoming Braves series with special bases. Seriously. The Reds

Celebrating by knocking up some Hooters' waitresses probably
they were a chick hanging out with her friends at a bar, the Phillies would be the 320 lb chick with a nose wart and a dick - Trent Steele

perhaps instead of bedazzling the bases, they should make them look haggard and jaundiced, much like Chipper Jones.

WHERE DO THE BRAVES GET ALL THESE ACES

Don't worry. I'm sure Brandon Beachy will hold that .214 BABIP right where it is. And Jurrjens won the Cy Young last year, right? Oh, what's that? He was sent to AAA a few weeks ago and gave up 11 runs in a game the other day? OK.


It's not like Schoenfield ignores the likelihood of regression. He specifically mentions the BABIP

Yeah, the article is actually well-modulated, it's really just the headline that's annoying (the author actually adds a question mark after the underrated statement). He's probably rated right about where he should be after only 36 big league starts, though.

Yeah my point was really the fact that the headline was just ridiculous. The article itself was decent.

Anyone else having trouble with the at bat app? Last 2 days it doesn't update the main scoreboard for me. All games showing mid-first or top first right now.

Stolen from Grantland:

•Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman was arrested for driving 93 mph with a suspended license. Team officials say they're slightly worried about his velocity, but that his curve looks great.

I heard that, for consecutive batters, some fan in Cincy caught two home run balls in a row and failed to give either one to a 3 year old.

It seemed to correct itself last night but its been very buggy lately.
I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is yes. I have a nick name for my penis. Its called the Octagon, but I also nick named my testes - my left one is James Westfall and my right one is Doctor Kenneth Noisewater.

yeah, its been not that smooth. i hate how it doesn't tell you sometimes when the 3rd out occurs or how it occurred in an inning. I sit there and wait and see nothing until the 3 red ball shows up under outs and then it moves to next inning.

Looks like the Astros are going back to navy and orange next year and might have a modernized version of the shooting star unis

Stan Kasten wants the winter classic at Dodger Stadium. Really. http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-052 ... 6659.story

He's already been called up. Started at CF for the Tigers yesterday. (Austin Jackson is injured.) He got his first big league hit, a bunt double.
