Kolek planning to go pro
I’m pretty sure there is a difference between cheering a guy in his first at bat with a new team and cheering a guy in his first appearance since making a fool of himself. There’s a reason it won’t be a nation wide story when he gets a cheer his first time at Wrigley. If Hader got traded to the Dodgers, no one would care if he got a standing O in his first appearance in Dodger Stadium.
Now I'm accused of going out of my way to bring up Arrieta's steroid use in any baseball conversation. Hilarious.
We literally had a man beating a dead horse gif because you posted about it so much.
The Cardinals are coming.Hey Cub fans, remember that little red speck in your rear view mirror. It's now that red devil bird that covers the entire back window -- and it is getting closer and closer and closer and closer.Cub fans, you want to guess what that white stuff on your trunk is? I suspect the red devil bird left a calling card!The season still has a way to go, but the surprise of the year is that the Cardinals are even in the post-season conversation and, at 2.5 games back as of this writing, they're a contender to chase down the small bears. I'm actually excited again!
Oh, not to be a stickler but as of your writing, the Cards are 3 back.
But they were 7 back a week ago and they're 3 back with about 35 to go.They're looking better than they have all year. They're 16-4 in August and went from a game above .500 to 11 or 12 depending on whether they beat the Dodgers tonight.Admittedly, there is still a way to go. But the turn-around has been pretty good.

They're 17-4 in August and went from a game above .500 to 12 after they swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in Dodger Stadium.Keep in mind that a sweep of the Dodgers in Los Angeles generally is about as rare as a water surplus in the Los Angeles Basin. It happens, but not very often. Admittedly, there is still a way to go. But the turn-around has been pretty good.
I heard yall had a really rough schedule this month.
Between every Cubs fan I've ever known claiming Murphy was on steroids and then getting all mad that a Brewers fan would claim Jake Arrieta was on steroids plus Murphy's comments on Billy Beane's homosexuality following Cubs fans outrage at Hader's Tweets as a teenager, seeing how fast Cubs fans can backpedal is going to be awesome to watch if Murphy plays well for them.
1) Arrieta didn't use steroids. In your scattered brain, do you still think he's using to this very day?2) As others have stated, let's see some evidence of "every Cub fan you've ever known" claiming Murphy was on 'roids.3) I'm not a Murphy fan and his comments regarding homosexuality were disappointing and misguided. If he's truly taken steps to learn more and be more accepting since then good for him. 4) Comparing what Murphy said years ago and how Cubs fans will react to him tonight vs. what was discovered recently and how Brewers fans reacted is a ridiculous comparison. Again, age is no excuse for Hader's tweets. If he's evolved and no longer feels that way good for him as well. I'll be at the game tonight and will politely applaud for Murphy. If he gets any kind of standing ovation it'll be embarrassing. 5) You're bizarre viewpoint of "all Cubs fans" behaving in a certain way is pathological and you should probably talk to someone. It makes you look like an idiot.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
So Murphy's homophobic comments as an adult are less shocking and damaging because they were made years ago as opposed to Josh Hader's as a teenager because they...were made years ago but discovered this year?
Hader said he hates gay people and used racial slurs. Murphy said he has no problems with gay people, he just disagrees with the lifestyle because he is Catholic. Both are disappointing thoughts but you really can't see the difference?
I can see the difference between a 17 year old Tweeting stupid inappropriate things and an adult saying he 100% disagrees with a person's lifestyle because they are gay. Yes, I see a difference.I'm also not going to pretend I'm totally outraged by one and then simply say, "There's a difference, one is Catholic!"

So instead you are outraged by Murphy and then for Hader simply say "He was 17".
