<p>Oh. Right. <i>That&#8217;s</i> why you don&#8217;t want to piss away a game you had a 5-1 lead in when you&#8217;re facing the 2016 White Sox.</p>
<p>I mean, obviously you don&#8217;t want to do that against the <i>any-year anybody</i>, but when you have a date with the ridiculous arm of Chris Sale the next day? Sheeeeeeeee-it.</p>
<p>Hey, but at least Matt Dominguez, Darwin Barney, and Josh Thole are playing!</p>
<p>Of course, what&#8217;s you&#8217;re alternative tonight? Watching the Raptors&#8217; ongoing disappointment? (Hint: yes.)</p>

<p>Hey, Jon Heyman <a href="https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/725043234557284352">tweeted</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/725042445508042752">some</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/725042620834152449">stuff</a> about the Bautista and Encarnacion contract impasses which we basically knew but that I&#8217;ll probably write about eventually anyway (vesting options?).</p>
<p>I&#8217;d also like to write more about this piece later (probably in a Daily Duce), but less about this subject in general, so I&#8217;ll just leave this here: it&#8217;s Bob Nightengale&#8217;s Victor Conte-influenced story on Chris Colabello, dirty labs, and positive tests for <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/bob-nightengale/2016/04/25/mlb-ped-drugs-chris-colabello-chemists-victor-conte/83513014/">USA Today</a>. Hmm. (<a href="https://twitter.com/thescottlewis/status/725097564895350785">Counterpoint</a>).</p>
<p>For real though: actually watch that video that&#8217;s gone viral of <a href="https://twitter.com/JustNotSports/status/724935194025799680">dudes reading real tweets</a> to Sarah Spain and Julie DiCaro and, if you&#8217;re the kind of person who sends tweets like that or don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s anything wrong here, please quit being garbage.</p>
