You aren't lying. He's got less than two months to prove he's more than the 25th roster spot guy.

Clearly you haven't seen the train wreck that is CF for Cardinals. The remains of Willie Mays would be a better option to start every day in CF than what Cardinals have.

I'd rather watch Grichuk strike out 3 times a night with his mediocre defense than Gomez. frick. That.

Gomez is a bitch, always has been.

So he got off of the juice and he's back to what he originally was... No surprise

Hey, can't forget about getting Fiers too!

The Brewers haven't really won anything yet. Santana might lose an arm at this point. Phillips has been mediocre this year in AA, and we're still waiting on Hader.

give that man, what ever Pujols is using, and he helps get that final playoff spot.

No one else gives a shite about roids(they adore NFL), so why not join in on the juicing train.

I will actually defend him on this. He's an idiot, probably the dumbest baseball player I've ever watched play for a team I care about, and has been unabashedly terrible for the Astros, but he seems like a good dude. Was all class in his statement today and I've seen people say some pretty nasty stuff to him on Twitter and he is all class in his responses

That said I am glad I won't have to see him take another AB or frick up another fly ball in an Astros uniform

I am going to miss his swings where he misses the ball completely, falls to a knee and loses his batting helmet...
