He can’t be intelligent AND unafraid of Zambrano.

I’m not going to celebrate it. It was sort of entertaining at first, but then we lost the game and it just turned embarrassing. I’d personally like to have that whole season wiped from my memory. I’ve seen a lot of Cubs baseball, but that was one of the shittiest seasons I’ve witnessed. I’m totally glad Pinella and Hendry decided to ship Barrett off. Soto seems like a much more intelligent ballplayer and human being. And he’s not afraid of Carlos Zambrano.

Barrett didn’t like that he got run over, in spite of the fact that his chromosonally-damaged brain compeleld to stand in front of home plate without the ball

AJ Eyechart is the biggest prick in baseball, so it’s always a good day in America when he gets punched in the face. However, I found it rather embarassing that it was froma cheap-shot sucker punch that came as the result of Barrett getting his ass run over fair and square. The guy was a loose cannon who did way more harm than good thanks to his pistachio-sized brain. Go ahead and celebrate him for that punch if you must. Just know it was a pansy cheap shot.

Thumbs-up on the towel line. I laughed out loud.

True, he did punch that prick. But on the other hand, it was a pretty lame sucker punch. He tried to pull that shit with Z and we know the result.

I agree with Nutsack. Barrett punching AJ in the puss means I will never think to ill of him.
Also, what is that thing near Prior’s hand in the photo? Is that a baseball? I thought he only threw towels?

Word. Barrett grates on me, but at least he did punch that prick in the face. I’m not sure if that makes up for all the passed balls or not.

BK, Love the bullet proof banana hammock part.

I don’t care how much you might hate Barrett, he still punched A.J. Eyechart in the dome. He was winning, at least on that day.

Prior just can’t quit whining, can he? Jesus, I hope he never throws another pitch in the Major Leagues. He’s already earned more than I will in my entire life, so fuck him. I don’t yet hate him with the fire of a thousand suns, but I’m getting there.

As for Barrett, though – at least he acknowledges that he was terrible in a Cubs uniform. I have to give him credit for that.
