The Bucks reported to camp yesterday and day 1 of camp starts today. You’re probably sitting in your cube hungover from a Sunday Funday so what better way to rid your headache and get you prepared for some Buckeye football than a collection of hype videos?
ALSO:
Braxton had a drone follow him to camp check in and Cardale arrived wearing a Ronda Rousey shirt
During my daily peruse for content on Cleveland.com, I sift through some of the comments and save a handful to share with you all once a week. So when you’re hungover and clinging to life on a Sunday morning, come on over to Bottlegate and let us talk you off the ledge.
Previous weeks: 6/21/15 – 6/28/15 – 7/6/15 – 7/12/15 – 7/19/15 – 7/26/15 – 8/2/15
If you see a comment that needs to be shared with the world, tweet those over to @Bottlegate or shoot us an email at bottlegatecle@gmail.com.
First of all, I don’t think anyone around here dislikes either of these guys as people, they were great in the community, Swish “came home” to try and win a World Series, it didn’t work out and that sucks. That being said……
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh happy day. Happy frickin day. I don’t know how much cash we’re sending Atlanta and I don’t really care at this particular moment. I also do not give one single shit about Chris Johnson. He can hit lefties and that’s cool. And of course, as I write this….
Whoa. Still though. Not gonna get into numbers and statistics because that’s not at all what this is about. The Braves didn’t actually want Swish or Bourn and we didn’t actually want Chris Johnson. It’s a business transaction, like Beyonce and Jay-Z’s marriage.
I’m over-the-moon happy with it though. Johnson will be here a year longer than Swish and Bourn would have been but his contract is a lot less annually. Even though the 10 mil we’re sending over essentially makes it an equal swap money-wise, it gives us roster flexibility to get looks at some of our young guys in the OF (Holt, Ramsey, Naquin, Walters, etc). Hopefully this is a metaphorical turning of the page for the club (and for all of the INSUFFERABLE “bro” jokes from all the Dolan critics).
