Somehow the Padres do it again. After getting utterly shit on by Mis, but keeping it a close 1-0 game, our Holy Father, Gavin Sheets comes through AGAIN.

It's the only reason the record is above .500.

Not the stache guy!

We’ve already won the season series against Houston on May 14th.

Time is a cruel mistress. She comes for us all.

 

[LurchingBeast]

With the way the Cubs hit that series, scratching out a win to avoid the sweep by the best team in baseball feels huge.

If it's MLB rivalry weekend, why are the Cubs playing the White Sox instead of one of their rivals

Because it's fake rivalry weekend. The Pads play the Mariners in the "Vedder Cup."

nobody cares about this shit

The Chicago White Sox are currently a playoff team.

Prepare to meet your doom.

That's fine. It would feel exactly like losing to the Detroit Tigers or something.

Somehow someone decided the Braves and Red Sox were rivals though that has never been a thing.

The Vedder Cup was fun when it was just some bullshit that the hardcore fans came up with, but now that’s it’s this real thing it’s already been beaten to death and no one cares.

Yeah - Bucs/Phillies? Philly might be the same state but it’s farther from Pgh than all Ohio cities, Detroit, DC, Baltimore. Even Toronto. I don’t give a fuck about Philly. The teams have no history. Makes no sense.

You see, the Braves used to be a Boston team like 75 years ago, so these current players have deep-seated hatred for each other?

Please forget about the few years that the franchise was in Milwaukee.

Let's go with it.

If the Braves have a rival, it’s the Phillies.

I’d consider the Braves to be more of a rival for the Bucs than the Phillies cause of the early/mid-90s series.

Yep, typical corporate shit where they take a fan-made thing and just ruin it (I've totally posted this before but fuck it)

 

[LurchingBeast]

Alright, these White Sox unis are fuckin wretched
