I know it hurt Cubs fans when Kris Bryant moved on, and he wasn't a superstar with the Giants but it still mystified me that they'd let him go. Think those teams knew something the Rockies didn't?

Awfully quiet in here. 

Cubs lose 14-5 in the 11th inning. One of those things that happens only never per century.

Yeah that dude landed like a sack a potatoes. Plus it looks like he wasn't wearing pants or shirt. And he waited until a play to the outfield (sort of) and just frickin' launched himself over. Looked like a couple of neurons shot one arm toward the railing to grab on but the rest of him was already headed for the warning track.

Edit: wearing shorts but had taken off his shirt and poured beer on himself in support of a Pirates rally.

I don't know who that is but I agree with every word of that rant and there was a time when I would have delivered it with the same level of enthusiasm.

Yeah, I'm surprised MLB gave it that title, other than something like "funny catch" or "bumbling catch" or something.  It was fun to watch though.  One of the more annoying commentators on ESPN was carping about that title as well.  I saw another clip of the play where the batter was looking out at Varsho and shook his head and smiled at him after the play.

Yeah....you don't get points for tripping.

This was a better catch last night.

Well no it's one of the worst ever but it's a catch so it looks perfect in the box score!

I'm really not a fan of the Manfred Man, but I guess it would have ended with a Dodgers win anyway. Yes I watched a Dodger game since the Giants were off. Marlins came from 0–5 to tie it up with a grand slam but LA executed perfect baseball to win in the 10th.

That was hysterical! Texas should be embarrassed for weeks over that (and about their politics, too, but for much longer than a couple of weeks).
