is the "sugarkings" name of the cuban miami 50's baseball team a reference to cocaine or what?

I don't know, but one interesting tidbit I gathered from their Wikipedia page, is they moved from Havana to Jersey City in 1960, moved from Jersey City and became the Jacksonville Suns in 1961, they eventually moved to Virginia and became the Norfolk Tides. The Jacksonville Suns would later return and eventually be renamed to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, current AAA team of the Marlins. The Shrimp and the Tides are currently playing in a series this week, so it's all very appropriate.

It'd also be nice to have him because we can compete in this division right now.

Absolutely. It's also why it's been frustrating they've been slow to call up productive help with the injuries.

tommy hutton on the call tonight with Hollandsworth having a scheduled day off.

Really? That's amazing, and needs to stay that way lol.

Hollandsworth's kid is graduating from college or high school or wherever so that's why he's not there tonight

Can his kid graduate every night? Lol

wow now pete alonso was also put on the DL. So they have Degrom, Alonso, Nimmo, Conforto, taijuan walker, carlos carrasco, Syndergaard obviously, pillar, jeff mcneil, albert almora, AND JD davis all on the DL. This needs to be at the very least 2 out of 3. A sweep would be huge.

villar is hitting leadoff and maybin went from AAA to hitting 3rd for them tonight. this needs to be a sweep.

They do have Stroman going tonight. Hopefully we do sweep though, I made the division bet today lol.

tommy on the call tonight is the only reason why the marlins broadcast is better than watching the sny guys call the game off a screen

[Nick]

Please throw strikes.

[Nick]

Fucking idiotic.

[Namaste]

You gotta be fucking kidding me

it was a perfect throw

[Spork5812]

Well that was frustrating.

[Erick]

Bad start for the Sugar Kings.
