Yea, pretty terrible. This is obviously Bird Seligs fault. If only he were a better commissioner.

I mean, it’s kind of his fault. You can’t credit Selig for baseball’s financial success then dismiss all the dumb shit he does. He’s either responsible for the sport or he’s not.

Cant believe more people aren’t furious at this stupid wild card setup where Atlanta is going to have to win a do-or-die “play-in” against a team with eight less wins. Fucking absurd.

Wow. No. AL Central and it’s not even close.

Cubs, Astros, Pirates. All terrible. AL Central is pretty bad, though.

For some reason, I feel that St. Louis is going to come to Atlanta and easily win the play-in game

Fatass Cabrera and Junky McJunkerstein down in Texas can suck it.

Agree with others on the park. It was underwhelming for sure. Fans have no identity either. It was like a baseball movie of people cast to be fans. Could be they were just from Ohio, though.

They have the two best players in baseball in their division

I hope you change that to National League and quick.

Also let’s be honest, if it’s the Cubs in their position, they’re getting as much attention if not more than anyone else. It’s not because of the division, it’s because of the market.

They have the two best players in baseball in their division and until they went on an insane streak and then the Pirates collapsed, that division was a four team race. The Cubs and Astros merely existing shouldn’t pull it down.

What are you basing that on? Their schedule is a joke.

Don’t forget Votto missed a bunch of time.

Reds are the best team in baseball and do get ignored, he’s dead on.

What are you basing that on? Their schedule is a joke. They have a lot of talent but would struggle to make the playoffs in better divisions.

What are your thoughts on Huntington and Hurdle going forward

TBL: Well Huntington needs to develop a bit more. I think he can be a future all-star

Hurdle? To be honest I think he maxed out. i would trade him for some prospects.

People still named their kids Homer back in the 1980s? We need more Gus’s in this world.

Posnanski had a piece about him after the no-hitter. It's a nickname, his real name was David or some shit/ mondays

They need to feel the pressure and trade sexy prospects for Choo and Perez.

Also great call on the Pirates collapsing. What are your thoughts on Huntington and Hurdle going forward? No googling who they are.

He makes some good points. Still, it’s Cincinnati and they wont the worst division in baseball. There’s no story there. Right now its about the AL races. Once the playoffs begin Cincy will get some attention.
