When the umpire calls you out,
It's no use to stamp and shout,
Wildly kicking dust about—
Play the game!
And though his decision may
End your chances for the day,
Rallies often end that way—
Play the game!
When the umpire shouts: 'Strike two!'
And the ball seems wide to you,
There is just one thing to do:
Play the game!
Keep your temper at the plate,
Grit your teeth and calmly wait,
For the next one may be straight
Play the game!
When you think the umpire's wrong,
Tell him so, but jog along;
Nothing's gained by language strong—
Play the game!
For his will must be obeyed
Wheresoever baseball's played,
Take his verdict as it's made—
Play the game!
Son of mine, beyond a doubt,
Fate shall often call you 'out,'
But keep on, with courage stout—
Play the game!
In the battlefield of men
There'll come trying moments when
You shall lose the verdict—then
Play the game!
There's an umpire who shall say
You have missed your greatest play,
And shall dash your hopes away—
Play the game!
You must bow unto his will
Though your chance it seems to kill,
And you think he erred, but still
Play the game!
For the Great Umpire above
Sees what we see nothing of,
By His wisdom and His love—
Play the game!
Keep your faith in Him although
His grim verdicts hurt you so,
At His Will we come and go—
Play the game!

It was when i realized I didn't want to be associated delusional idiots like yourself who go around saying how great their team is when they haven't won shit in the past 20 years.
I saw a cubs fan at the grocery store the other day and I just lost it, fucking smug prick. I was trying to buy some bread and he was there looking at the fucking salads. Typical fucking Cubs fan.
I tried to ignore him, but this asshole was just fucking unbelievable. Jesus Christ. He had a fucking Cubs t-shirt on. I bet you he bought it at the team store like a fucking schmuck. He and the fucking stupid cashier probably had this big self-satisfactory exchange. "Can I pay extra for this t-shirt, haha, I want to sacrifice my money for the Cubs to make history, just like Gordon Heyward."
I couldn't fucking take it so I walked up to him and I told him to his face that Kershaw was better than Arrieta even without Arrieta's inevitable regression this season, and that the advanced sabermetrics like TJS completely prove it. But this guy just fucking smiled and in the most smug fucking way possible replied to me that Arrieta had better "stuff".
What the fuck? What does that even mean?
I tried to explain how TJS brings everything together under fairly deemed conditions but this guy just kept on going on and on about Arrieta's nasty "stuff".
I fucking lost it, l told that fucking idiot what a smug fucking retard he was. He was like 'dude what are you talking about' like he didn't fucking know what a prick he was. l fucking tackled him right there.
Staff called the cops on me as if l did anything wrong. They are actually going to fucking put me on trial for assault. Fucking Cubs fans
how dare you make fun of this poor child
these are the feelings of a child, there is nothing funny about sadness

Why do Mexicans have such flat fucking faces.
Atlanta pls gib teheran or wisler
wow so it was even sooner then that ? Was your father the first to leave your life or was it your mother who dumped you in an LA pothole soon after your birth?
cubs fan > cis woman salad lover
daily reminder that its been so long since the dodgers went to a WS that they mistake interdivision games as winning the world series
Not even a little funny

Thankfully my parents were always around and showed me there was more to life than sports so I can look at things objectively and not base a personality around blindly following a team.
Simple question lads.
Does Arietta take Steriods, or is he clean?
fuck you you play in pitcher parks and your pitchers dont blow
ITS JUST PILATES
Who /EightGameWinStreak/ here?
>I am a fairweather cuck
what I read
he does pilates senpai
>the cell
>pitcher's park
pick one
The way he laughed in his glove made him look like an anime girl
TJS was a one thread meme
definitely needs pilates somewhere in there now
Most athletes take steroids, they just know when they won't get tested
Makes sense since you can't read the statistics against the Dodgers either.
>your pitchers don't blow
Ian "worst opponent OPS allowed in 2015" Kennedy is unironically our best starter right now. elite bullpen doesn't matter much when you never have the lead
Who /twosweepsinarow/ here?
>Most athletes take steroids, they just know when they won't get tested
Teheran (or Wisler) is OURS, Dave already told me so.
...
>using a pic of the faggot pussy who got a dumb rule implemented to brag about doing good
same thing happened to me only with Jake Arrieta.
He was in the Pilates and Plants section. Like he was fucking fooling me.
He actually claimed he had better "stuff" than Kershaw.
Fucking smug prick.
So I fucking lost it. I told that Smug retard how undeserving he was of the Cy Young. I fucking tackled him right there.
Staff called the cops on me. I'm actually going to trial.
Arrieta tweeted @me to watch out because we was going to be something after that.
Fucking smug prick.
Aren't you that guy who called Kershaw overpaid and a #4 starter?
He is overpaid but I wouldn't call him a number 4 starter.
apologize
Chase Utley?
Are you white?
What happened to Daddy Grienke?
Did he off himself?
all memes aside no, hes good because his cutter and sinker are elite and generate some of the lowest exit velocity out of any pitcher in the league, that is if anyone even makes contact with them
Literally every professional athlete is overpaid
You must really be fucked in the head if you believe a living GOAT is overpaid when he isn't even the highest paid pitcher ....and even if he was the highest paid it would still be underpayment for Kershaw
They're both faggots. The NL produces absolute losers who ruin the game.
> *on phone* Pilates can do that for me? You mean it?
/mlb/: Who is that?

/mlb/: Jake from Natty Arms at 30 years old? *takes phone*

Tell me this: More teams have won championships with less money than Kershaw is getting paid for. I don't give a shit if he is the second coming of Sandy Koufax. If they don't win rings it doesn't matter how good of a pitcher you are.
8/10
>muh rings
Hes better than Koufax already
>trout has had a noodle arm ever since coming into the league
>suddenly every throw he makes to the infield is on the money
clean, Arrieta works hard
Daily reminder that obsessing over the individual regular season achievements of Kershaw is equivalent to winning the WS for Dodgers fans.
The noodle arm meme died years ago. He's improved immensely.
>"why can't 1 pitcher contribute as much as a team of 40 men?"
Kershaw is a true GOAT with or without a ring, everyone is witnessing history and they don't even know it because it's been happening for years
Koufax only had like four good season
rude 2bh, hes been good the last 2 games, hope he stays at lead off because hes LITERALLY the only guy on the entire team that actually draws walks.
memes never die. they wait.
And he will be swept under the rug because he never won the Big One.
are you a troll? hes the only 30 mil a year pitcher playing up to his contract
I DON'T CARE WHAT ANY OF YOU SAY
ROIDIETTA IS A DIRTY, CHEATING FUCK

Anyone else think the White Sox are falling apart?
Because they're only winning in starts where it's Sale or Quintana desu
PILATES?
YOU WANNA TALK SOME PILATES BRO?
LET'S GO YOU FUCKING MENTAL DWARF, LET'S FUCKING DO SOME PILATES.
Kershaw is the rug. People ge swept under him. Just look at Bumgarner and his 3 rings. People will remember him for being second to Kershaw.

you using 'fuck' as a noun and not a verb is triggering my autism
please don't do this again
His contract should be adjusted to be worth 5M more than the highest annual salary of that season. He should be paid 40M over 10 years
Don't even remind me.
Next month we'll be out of the race desu, if not by July.
This team is finished.
Arrieta has not physically changed at ALL since he began Pilates, that is a fact.
You are all just absurdly jealous of his ability. Go ahead and try to point out ONE thing that's different about him in this picture.
Pro tip: you can't.
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Sale also juiced.
With the way he's pitching, it's almost like it's not fair.
I'm a White Sox fan, and I'm not convinced he's really that good. I think Quintana is the more complete pitcher.
latos had completely unsustainable peripherals
What are you talking about, steroids have obviously caused to him to grow a third eye
thanks for proving he's a cheat
oh no lad. hold on. there is about to be a storm coming your way
He's shit, his first few starts were obvious fluke outings. Not to mention, he played against shit teams too.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's off the team in a month with the way he's pitching. We're scouring the trade market for starters, as we should be.
Because I might be right?
Don't remind me with what shit I've had to put up with this past week. I don't want Sale winning the Cy Young in a lost season.
Has there been a greater single season in the history of Baseball?
Bonds 2001-2004
Kershaw 2016
