Rudy G. would have.

Hamels doing a Jaime imitation ....

I forgot Carlos Gomez was acquired by the Rangers. Looks like I'll be rooting for the Indians instead.

Ok, so maybe losing out on Price wasn't the worst thing that could have happened to the Cardinals.

Maybe but the cards would likely have a 90 plus win team with him.

Just because we all needed one more reason to hate the Cubs--

I get a call today from a Cubs scout. He learned back in September that the team wasn't going to renew his contract after 13 years with the club. They offered him a severance package, provided he sign a separation agreement and release which he wanted me to review.

Buried in the agreement is a provision that made his separation date the last day of the regular season, and another provision whereby he releases any right to bonuses or perks after his separation date. Yeah, they wanted him to waive his right to a playoff bonus AND his right to receive a ring should the team win the World Series.

The Cubs front office can eat a bag of dicks.

Yeah, that's pretty crappy, Fors. Hopefully he can work out a better deal.

Adding insult to last night's injury, the winning run was scored by Heyward, who had reached second via a lousy bunt (forcing the runner at second) and a throwing error by Crawford on what should have been the double play.

It's depressing to think the only thing between the Cubs and the end of the Goat Curse is the motherfucking Dodgers.

I concur Artie. I have no love for the Dodgers whatsoever, but I have far less for Heyward and have no desire to see him get a title.

I dont hate the cubs and see heyward leaving as a break but it is hard not to root for the epic streak of losing to continue.

I agree we caught a break on J-Hey, but him being a mouthy dude taking less money to roll with the Cubs is an act of sedition if not treason to me. 

I may at some point cheer for our rivals up north to end the misery, but it won't be while he's playing for them. There's a lot on their team I do like. Bryant, Arrieta, Rizzo are all pretty great players. I don't even mind Lackey moving, we didn't really give him much choice on staying here. 

Heyward? He just bothers me. His hype bothers me, me believing in his hype and praying we'd keep him bothers me, his inability to deliver bothers me. He had a mega deal on the table from us, and it was sheer luck we dodged that bullet, but he's just bad news.

If the vaunted goat is going to make an appearance, he better hurry the fuck up.
