Eh, no matter what neutral site they would have moved to, the place would have been at least 80% Cubs fans, they're like the Red Sox and Yankees combined when it comes to traveling.

Not bandwagon fans though, they're the real deal for the most part. Especially in Milwaukee.

I think this was really cool. But I have to ask, Do you think catching the no hitter helps Soto in the MVP race. He is certainly in the mix, but has been overshadowed by Berkman, Pujols, and Delgado, maybe Utley. I have to think this should be considered though.

He's had a great season, but I don't think he has a shot at the MVP.

This won't play a factor at all. The fact that Jason Varitek has caught 3 (or is it 4?) no-hitters in his career never helped his MVP chances any. :D

      That joke was probably in a lot of people’s heads but those people decided not to go there.  We’ll give you a mulligan. P.S. Not for nothing but if I’m walking up behind a teammate with a bat in his hand I’m making enough noise until he looks and sees me there.

      Guys like Bradfield and Beavers aren't as valuable as Ortiz was last year. Right now we have 3 prospects rated at or better (and they are all better) than Ortiz last year: Mayo, Basallo, and Kjerstad. Can we afford to deal one of those three for another rental TOR this off-season?   As of today, I wouldn't feel great about that.

      I don't think those guys are going to get you anything near TOR. I don't think we can afford to annually give up a couple top 100 prospects for a rental TOR- at least not yet. Plenty were willing to part w Cowser last year, but how would we feel about our OF situation this year, and going forward, without Cowser in the mix?

      Idiots looking for attention on social media are claiming Mullins did it on purpose.  Where are we at in society?  Also, @Roy Firestone attempt at a joke just now is pathetic. Hoping for the best for Jorge - if it is a concussion, they are never fun (I've had way too many).  Also, hope Cedric is able to move past this freak accident and focus on getting his hitting going.  We need him.

      That on deck swing that Mullins hit Mateo with... was probably Mullins best contact with a bat  on the day.

      I think the Ubaldo Jimenez contract is still the largest the O's have ever given out to a free agent starter.   Personally, I think it makes more sense to spend big on an elite free agent starter than on elite position players.   Of course they have to be cautious in how and who they identify as elite, but I think they should bid for Burnes, and not just a token bid -- a real bid.
