The top 5 bands of all time are in no particular order are The Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Creedence Clearwater Revival.  There will be no more discussion on this matter as disagreement with the list is wrong and may lead to a virtual ***** slapping.

False, I give you the Mighty Zeppelin, I've loved them since high school, but my top 5 are in this order:

1. Kiss

2. Judas Priest

3. Zeppelin

4, Cheap Trick

5. Queensryche (with Geoff Tate on vocals, never got into his replacement stuff)

Yeli needs not to play every day. 

It doesn’t matter who we trade for by Monday’s deadline if Yeli is playing every day & batting towards the top of the order

Yeah that was bad.

3rd base Joey Ortiz vs bases loaded Joey Ortiz.  What a matchup.

Brent Suter won.

If this team is serious about contending for a WS Yelich needs to produce, He's not. If he is in the lineup he should be hitting 7th or 8th. But that will never happen. Unfortunately, his meager hitting will be used in the top order. The leadership of this team has to see that he is not right and a tough decision needs to be made

[Bulldogboy]

Glad Ortiz is locked in. Well he was until being benched for ..... checks notes.... David flipping Hamilton.

Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the White Sox have acquired Luis Castillo from the Mariners in a four-player trade.

In exchange for Castillo, the Mariners will acquire right-handed reliever Seranthony Dominguez, outfielder Nolan Jones, and catcher/outfield prospect Boston Smith. The Mariners have long been rumored to explore trading a starting pitcher with Emerson Hancock and George Kirby’s name bandied about, but it’s Castillo who will be heading to Chicago. The right-hander is not the same hurler he was a few years ago when he was among the very best in the sport, but he’s a solid mid-rotation option for a team that has played well above expectations with an excellent chance of reaching October.

I was gonna say at least it's Joey with the bases loaded and not Yeli. But never mind.

This will not happen on Murphy watch. Don't underestimate the Uke role in the Yelich love. Murphy was tight with him and knows the lore.

I wonder if we can talk more about Vinny catching a foul ball.

Their 5th and 13th-ranked prospects for Skubal?  I doubt it.

No one said that was the whole deal.

[Bulldogboy]

Why would anyone ever throw Chourio a fastball? He's not going to walk so it's easy pickings

Another digression; has anyone ever heard an opposite field HR called an "oppo taco" other than in the MLB advert featuring the ever-annoying Joe Buck??

If you listen to the games on the MLB app you know what I mean.

Yeah those "commercials" are the worst. Gotta turn the volume down during inning breaks. 

[jason21nl]

Why the hell is he challenging that pitch?

Yelich is so washed.  Sad

[RobertCrawley]

Yelich weakly grounds out to the right side of the field.

Why is he still in the lineup every day?

[yfinn6]

Get him out of the top 4 of the lineup, PLEASE. For the love of god please move him.

We could ask this question literally every game.

[trwi7]

Just do your strikeout or ground out and let us keep our challenges.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Yelich stinks and shows no signs of not stinking- him playing everyday is slowly killing this team

Don’t hear it much other than that MLB app ad. Perhaps ballparks should have a Mexican food concession stand in the outfield concourse with that name.
