I watched a 6.5 hour twins game on a sunny day. I'm a loser.
Whenever the Cubs have a 3+ game division lead, I'll have my 1st check point.Picking up from some posts in the Twin's thread, what are your "checkpoints" during the season for your fav team?
My milestones are end of April, end of May, All-Star break and sometime between mid-August and September.
Harper vs Strickland. I am 100% on Harper's side. Strickland seems butt hurt about getting pwned by this great hitter in the past, not to mention Strickland has a history of a bad temper and throwing at guys. Bryce Harper is a guy I'd kill to have on my favorite team. This guy has passion and you can tell he cares about winning every game he plays and just isn't in it for the good money professional ball players make. I'm not bothered one bit by Harper charging and going bazerk on this wannabe. Good for you Bryce.
Cueto finally got his mojo back
Was watching the game, but had been away from the tv when Homer (Strickland) first threw that pitch. Looked up just in time to see Harper awkwardly chucking his helmet while charging the mound. I had forgotten all about Harper's home runs off Strickland three seasons ago (dude, we WON the series - get over it). Once that backstory was refreshed during the broadcast, I was thinking, "Oh, ok. That's what's going on here." Then to see Homer's smug post-game comments, it made me think, "Yeah, I don't have a huge problem with it." I think it still shows a level of immaturity on Harper's part, but Homer's pretty much a d**k in general. Will be interesting to see how MLB hands out their 'punishments' for the incident.
