Looks like his old school ways were rubbing the young guys in the clubhouse the wrong way. Interesting timing though.

I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

The return on that Khris Davis trade has just been disappointing.

Eh, the kid didn't catch the ball and will have many more years to get a ball in the future.

If you can't catch an underhand toss from 5 feet away, you don't deserve a ball. Nobody should feel any obligation to give a kid a ball.

I feel like a version of this must be your origin story.
1987 at County Stadium and some 40 year old mullet headed guy ripped a ball from your hands. The source of so much pain and anger.

I was 2 months old at the end of the 1987 season and my older brother was 20 months old so like basically a newborn and a toddler isn't exactly a let's go to the baseball game kind of plan or idea that they would've thought of and we lived almost 2 hours from County Stadium, so I'm guessing that probably wasn't it. Although I have been told I was an awesome baby so they probably could've gone if they wanted to.
Seriously, we didn't go to a lot of games and I don't really remember having any good chance at getting a ball when we did go but I never would have expected anyone to just hand me a ball because I was a kid and if a player threw me a ball from like 5 feet away and I missed it and somebody else got it, I'd be more pissed at myself for missing an easy souvenir than the person who got it not giving it the ball to me. Why the hell does that kid deserve it? Catch the **** ball or shut the hell up.

Fully agree with Twirlz on this one. Kid should learn how to catch a ball before he deserves one.

It amuses me that teams just continue to employ Drake.

**** you Boxberger. Cubs score 3 in the bottom of the 9th to win 7-6.

Sounds like the Cubs are getting Cole Hamels.

I was just thinking this has to be one of the worst moves they've made in franchise history. It also cost them a first didn't it?
