over 1000 posts that didnt get laggy for me. It mainly depends on your connection. having 3 threads to optimize for those on dial up is foolish and a waste of space IMO
But I will take that win any day. Hopefully the bats show back up tomorrow. Minus the blown call and the error, JJ gets the win. Wags one more save closer.
to be honest, the only 2 other baseball blogs i’ve seen on SBN that can compete with TC’s popularity is the Giants (McCoveyChronicles) and the Rockies (PurpleRow)
Why not just use Wags in the 8th to get the Cub’s top hitters. Moylan is great, but why not let Moylan get their inferior hitters? The closer role is so dumb. it should be called go-to pitcher. Are there any smart managers in baseball?
never seen this guy
