don't care what they do in an odd year.

but i did feel like typing the two sentences above ITT and this one.


No. Boo. Mac needs to stay in Miami.

That guy knows how to straight up hit the ball. For a bigger guy, he doesn't waste pitches trying to launch homers, he gets on base and drives in runs when needed. One of the smarter hitters in the game right now.

Having him as protection for Stanton in that lineup should be a big part of the Marlins plan for the future.

The Padres are trying to deal for Cole Hamels? who do they think they are?

Lack of titles experienced in lifetime must be the cause of this distress.
