I wonder if the Cubs will ever learn to field the ball. Likely not.

Silva's an idiot, and the fielding is atrocious. I was at the game where he and Aramis fought.

...and yesterday when they blew a 5-run lead to the Rangers. Same old Cubbies!

Yankees have had at least two games end in a tie. Is spring training hockey?

Finally

Freakin Perez is gone.
He was pitching fastballs at 85MPH which might be OK if you are a control pitcher, but not when you are erratic as hell

The final straw was giving up back to back home runs to minor leaguers.

The only thing that sucks is the 12 mill that Manaya promised this idiot.

Watching the Braves beating the Natinals, good times.

Heyward first HR of the year, I think.

You're correct, Tex just hit the second.

Heyward leads off his first two seasons with homers, crazy.

And of course all ESPN cares about is the Jankees.
