Figures Wade Davis would screw it up  2-1 AL with a homer!

Yeah he was spouting off about everything. That guy was nuts.

He also made some very rude comments about a couple of teammates 

[2006Coltsbestever]

That was a great catch by Upton. This game is almost over, Wade Davis will take the loss  = the only Cubs All-Star.

You guys probably would have thought of me as a pest

 

I was also preparing for my first season of Junior league football 

[2006Coltsbestever]

AL wins but it doesn't determine HFA so I had fun watching for a change. I knew the NL wouldn't hit Miller, only the 2016 Cubs could do such a thing with Bryant, Rizzo, and Zobrist

Maybe this will help them out... I don't know much about him, but he was an Allstar once upon a time.

Well that is something they have not had this year so it will be fun to see if they can put it together now.

[2006Coltsbestever]

You guys beat me to the news, great stuff! Quintana will definitely help with Pitching depth, he has been solid at times throughout his career. 5.5 games out of 1st and now stretch time begins tomorrow, All-Star break is over. I am glad we didn't trade KyleS, that was talked about.

[Myles]

Looks like a win/win trade for these teams.   Quintana will be a 3rd or 4th starter for the Cubs for a few years.

The White Sox got the Cubs top 2 prospects.

I looked on several ranking sites and he's currently the 2nd to 8th ranked minor league player in all of baseball.

Yes but Happ and Almora are up

[2006Coltsbestever]

Now that the All-Star Break is over, it's put up time now! Time to show why the Cubs are the World Champions. They need to quit screwin around! Brewers, I mean please

[2006Coltsbestever]

If someone put a gun to my head and ask me if I thought the Cubs would still win the Division, I would say YES but WS not so sure, Dodgers look damn great. If the Brewers had like a 8 game lead I would be worried. It's 5.5

Did anyone see the recent pictures of Sammy Sosa?

Sorry, but he looks awful. He looked better in the past.
