LET'S GO CUBS!

My main issue with cycling right now is that they have more doping problems than the MLB

fair enough.
although, i think things are getting better. there are plenty of “good guys” in the tour and in pro riding elsewhere. but, yeah, it’s sometimes tough to know who they are.

Another reason to be glad when this series ends...
Watching on MLB.tv, the Diamondbacks have what may very well be the most unprofessional broadcast ever.

Last season he spent 3 or 4 innings one night just wandering the stands and talking to himself

question his broadcasting skills i can understand, but the homer in me will never forget his time as a cub…..plus who else sings the 7th inning stretch as a member of the opposing team and still says “root root root for the CUBBIES”?

they're making him throw lots of pitches
two batters, already 10 pitches. That’s good.
