Setting records. We Will.
Oh jeez, I had forgotten about those lame team slogans. "Come hungry" was another. I once wrote to the PR department suggesting they discontinue those annual slogans because they didn't fool the fans into thinking the team would be better than it was. Eventually they gave up on the slogans. Thankfully.

But my suggestion for this year is "It'll be nifty if we can win fifty."
I vote for the mercy rule in baseball

Can't we do that ST rule and end the inning whenever we feel like it? And play less than 9 innings?

12-0 but with the 2 out Newman double, I feel the tide turning

Miley laughing it up as they head to the dugout.

Insult to injury. No sense in starting a fight, we'd just swing and miss anyhow

Ha-ha, the joke's on Cy Miley. There goes the one-hitter.

We also now have more hits than errors!

Since the game is already lost they should bring in Feliz to mop up. Who cares if he gives up several more runs. I would not waste a good bullpen arm on this game any longer.

Well, try as he might with all that stellar work in chicago, we've turned Underwood Jr. into a Pirate now.

Too bad they couldn't do an impromptu "Million Dollar Arm" and have the fan who had the highest speed in the radar booth pitch

Good point. They need 2 more innings from the BP and no sense wasting anyone who might help in the next game or 2. Feliz doesn't help. Use him.
