Welcome back to Wrigley, Dex!
(Luckily the Cubs only gave up one run in the first. Consistent with their average.)

The Yankees may not win on the scoreboard tonight, but they've won in my heart, for leaving an effective middle reliever on the mound for 3 whole innings.

Fewer games where someone has gone yard 4 times than perfect games in MLB history. 17 four-homer games vs. 21 perfect games.

Addison Russell now being investigated for domestic violence so we're still on pace for everything to be terrible for the entire year.

Yeah. Sure am glad I broke my longstanding rule against personalized jerseys.
Hell, I even sponsored his page at B-R when he came up. So of course it's going to turn out that he's a scumbag.
For now, I'm holding onto the belief that he's young and stupid, that everyone does bad things, and that he can learn and grow.

All necessary caveats, but "physically assaulting wife in front of your kids" isn't some youthful indiscretion shit.

No. That would be an unambiguously bad and inexcusable thing (if that's what happened). Being young and stupid doesn't just manifest itself in indiscretions - sometimes it end in young/stupid people doing bad stuff, particularly in the heat of the moment or in anger, that an older person would not do.
His being young and stupid doesn't excuse anything, but it may mean that the person is not a lost cause, but instead can grow and learn.

As a person, absolutely. But as a person I root for to hit and catch a ball real good, not so much.

Apparently Russell is not in the lineup tonight.
That's a good thing. I am afraid that if/when he returns to Wrigley, he will get a big ovation, and that will make me sick.

Only way they turn on him is if he kneels during the Anthem or seventh inning stretch.

I hate that organization and their shitty, stuck in the 1980s fans.

Aaron Judge's first inning HR tonight. Hardest hit ball in the statcast era.

His last name is very Camaro-ish.

I need to be on here more because I read that and was going to make a similar (and yet different) joke.

Cody Bellinger now 1 off the NL home run lead. Double rookie HR champs?
(Bellinger was born about a month after Pedro's 9+ inning perfect game and about 2 months before DVDs came out)

Sports really was better in the old days:
If LeBron punched a ref in the face and then Richard Jefferson filled in with a triple double the earth would melt with the heat of the takes.
