Chicago Sun-Times — Cubs infielder Cody Ransom has never pitched, but more than once he reluctantly agreed to be an emergency reliever/sacrificial lamb in blowout games if necessary. “I’m like, ‘Yeah,’ but in the back of your mind, you’re like, Would I throw the ball away where they can hit it back up the middle,” Ransom said, “or throw it in, where they can’t?” And then he saw the horrific replays of former Phillies teammate J.A. Happ of the Blue Jays getting bloodied by a line drive to the head Tuesday night and getting taken from the f...

Rate the Game: Padres lose to the Cubs
Gaslamp Ball — Lucky for the rating of this particular game, I've found that losses after wins tend to not be viewed as badly. Also, this game happened while I was watching Iron Man 3 (#humblebrag) so I missed most of it and only caught the last few outs, so this will be like my camping rating. I heard Cody Ransom did some good things, which is good for him because I think he's probably a nice guy, but at the same time he probably did those things to get back at the Padres, which is ironic because if he was doing those good things while he was with the Padres, we never would've let him go and hence h...
