Rough day for the Mets yesterday. Nation, curious what you think of the skirmish following the game. I read the reporter's version, I think his name is Healey, this morning and it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Alonso is NICE!

The Cubs have a fairly solid offense and decent defense (it's not amazing, but not terrible). The issue is still pitching, IMO.

I'm certain I'd be a terrible GM, but Russell is a guy that I'd have in AAA. Just not sure what value he's adding to the Cubs right now.

It's amazing to me how sometimes organizations become so invested in guys, good, bad, indifferent. Brett Gardner hasn't been a shell of his former self for really the last 3 years, Yet he keeps holding a roster spot of a young kid like Frazier who hit the cover off the ball.
