And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
-- for Anthony Rizzo
Hope none of our players get murdered in Shitcongo

Non-bootyblasted Resd fan here, ask me anything.
>>66798346
Do they have a better CF in the system than Billy Hamilton?
Why are they wasting the rest of Votto's career?
Is Stephenson any good? I'm thinking of trying to pick him up in my fantasy league.
Why are Len and JD so great at puns?
>>66798436
They're the best commentators in baseball
It feels good to stream the game in southern Illinois. One more month till semester ends and i can see our Cubbies live!
>>66798385
>Do they have a better CF in the system than Billy Hamilton?
Depends on how you define better. They don't have anyone faster and I think he's an OK hitter.
>Why are they wasting the rest of Votto's career?
Pretty sure Votto has a no-trade clause in his contract. I'm more surprised they didn't let go of Bruce in the offseason.
>Is Stephenson any good? I'm thinking of trying to pick him up in my fantasy league.
Don't know enough about him to tell you. Fantasy baseball can be a crapshoot anyway, so I don't want to be responsible for you picking up a player you'll later regret.
>>66798346
What were your expectations for the Reds...
1) Before the season started?
2) After the Reds "hot start"?
3) As of this game?
>>66798492
1.) fuck all
2.)"I'm not buying it"
3.) fuck all
>>66798492
>1) Before the season started?
They aren't going anywhere.
>2) After the Reds "hot start"?
They might do better than I thought, but they still probably won't go anywhere.
>3) As of this game?
Still aren't going anywhere, but the season is still young.
Cubbies have a good team and they had a good team last year. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they take the Central.
>>66798492
>before
Suck ass
>hot start
Maybe they'll not be as bad as I thought
