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

 

What is that?? That looks awful!

???

It appears to be age, and a lack of steroids.

Or, do you not like his hat?

He looks much older. He said he was bleaching his skin. I would not be surprised if he got face lifts. He looks terrible. It is NOT a result of aging. (My dad is almost 80 and he looks great!)

It almost looks like he bleached his skin. I loved Sosa a Cub, that 1998 Season was awesome.

People age differently though. 

He looks like he just doesn't take care of himself. 

 

Also, Michael Jackson fan?

You think he is a Michael Jackson fan? Maybe. I suspect he is more of a Salsa and Merengue fan.

Nice to see my buddies in good spirits! 

 

Mets are not doing too bad themselves. They have an 8-1 lead in the 4th. We knocked out the Rockies ace. We have our ace going.  So, it is all 's here.

I missed the game, had to crash early to get in here to work at 5am. Man I just seen we blew an 8-0 lead but still won 9-8. Our Pitching this season has been really puzzling.

Your guy Chapman has been losing some big games for the Yankees. He walked in the winning run against the BoSox last night.

 

The Cubs traded for a starting pitcher. When does he make his Cubs debut? 

 

What other trades would you like to see the Cubs make?

Not sure what is wrong with Chap, odd for him to be blowing Saves. I like the Quintana trade, it was much needed but if the Brewers keep winning it will be tough to catch them. Cubs still play the Brewers a bunch though, I think like 9 times if I am not mistaken.

Quintana makes his first start as a Cub on Sunday evening.

Jake is Pitching tonight. I get off work here in about an hour so I will watch tonight. Yes we need to keep winning and hope for the Brewers to lose a few. It would be ideal if we can narrow the Brewers lead down to 2/2.5 games by the end of July.
