Is that supposed to be Mexican flag themed? They got the color hues all wrong.

Nice little qualifier there. The Yankees are so fucking good they split a series with you even though they never took one at bat with a lead. Can’t wait for judge to slam his gavel dick across your faces at that juicebox tomorrow.

that post aged well, congrats on losing to the Space Cowboys

Besides the city connect abominations, another reason Manfred belongs in jail is that terrible Beth Mowins is calling the Cubs-Red Sox game on MLBNet.  Jessica Mendoza is good, Beth Mowins is excruciating.

A League of Their Own came out 30 years ago tomorrow, and is still one of the most perfect movies ever made, and I'd be willing to fight you if you disagree.

Marla Hooch lives in Spring and can still swing the bat:

 

American Pastime cages. Now I'm upset I've never seen Marla Hooch there.

Pretty cool

@Helobious Gallo lmao

[Herbie Hancock 7306]

It’s not funny at all because Gwynn is arguably one the greatest hitters of all time. You’re a stupid motherfucker and you should feel bad for subjecting us all to your dumbfuckery.

I can’t be bothered to look up who the home plate ump is in the Cards v Phils game but his strike zone is complete dog shit.

You can afford do that when you’re getting paid by a team that is also paying Mr. Bonilla $1.2M today and every July 1 for another 14 years. 
 

HAPPY BOBBY BONILLA DAY!!!

Jesus fuck son put down the bottle this has already been covered well above.

Arenado hits for the cycle tonight.  

I honestly was gonna call it when i saw he was 2-2 with the triple and homer out of the way by the 3rd but i did not.

[Scraps 13542]

Lol just saw his "single"

[WBT 20421]

Lulz, that should have been a double E5...or maybe a triple if you give him two just for that throw

Pretty sure it's to put in perspective how terrible Gallo is. And how good Gwynn was. 

[Herbie Hancock 7306]

Anyone with three functioning brain cells already knew that. Which I guess explains why you’re posting it here

At least that would make a lick of sense...

i hate to say it but i'm just waiting for him to slide wrong and end up on the 60 day DL. he's the Joel Embiid of baseball- any time he plays 85% of a season he's an MVP candidate; he just never plays 85% of any given season. if i owned Buxton in fantasy right now i would trade the shit out of him. i hate his injury record, but it is what it is. hope he overcomes it this year.

The 27 Ks in Gwynn's last three seasons is a bit misleading since he only played 36 games in his next to last year and 71 games in his last season.

More impressive to me is he averaged 29 strikeouts / year over a 20 year career.  Still lower than butthead Gallo's total for the month.

[Fudge Nuggets 19151]

Going through some lists about career strikeouts / season numbers, Gwynn is in a class of his own which most of us already know.  But the only dudes close to him that most of us may have heard of are Lou Boudreau (30 SO / season), Joe DiMaggio (34 SO / season) and Yogi Berra (32 SO / season).  Jackie Robinson's numbers are not complete, but he was around 29 in the major leagues.

Quintessential slap hitters with zero power that I knew of growing up like Ozzie Smith and Johnny Ray were in the high 30's.

Most of the guys with a lower SO / season mark than Gwynn have names like Rip, Pie, Sparky, Irish and Skeeter.

[Fudge Nuggets 19151]

Going to the top of the 9th in Candlestick (errrrrrr AT&T) and it's 0-0.

We got no scoring and fog.  Just missing some airborne garbage and a chain link fence to make this a real throwback game.
