Might as well enjoy it while we can. Splooge for his 2 run homer in the first inning.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

I enjoyed it for about 2 minutes until my FF button caught up with the (insert shitty Illinois basketball player)ian performance by my guy Starlin. D'angelo Hall just called a radio station somewhere and called Starlin a clown. But D'angelo Hall is still a tard.

Thank you. I was just telling this to my stepdad on Sunday, and I said those exact words

I just read Andy Dolan's excellent post comparing Barney and Theriot and while I'm not even semi-hard for Barney, I do not hate him enough to label him an Asian Theriot. Yet.

I wouldn't have hated Theriot as much if stupid people didn't love him so much. There's no way the same stupid people fall in love with an Asian version is there? As long as he doesn't become a scrappy folk hero I can stay indifferent, which ain't that bad really.

I said the same thing last night. He's a middling player. I have no reason to hate middling players until idiots decide a team full of middling players is better than a team of excellent players.

Hence my hatred of pretty much every scrappy gritball the Cubs have signed in the last decade.

This will all come together once we have the 40-Barney roster.

Can the Cubs afford 40 purple, plush costumes?
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

Cub fans everywhere went pretty much apeshit for Fukudome during his maiden April. Once it was discovered that he sucked they abandoned him en masse. Even though, at his corkscrewing worst, Fukudome is twice as useful as Theriot, there was a segment that either wouldn't or couldn't see that. Could have something to do with Fukudoe's contract but nah, probably racisim.

Idito. The difference between Fukodume and Theriot was that Theriot was a HOME GROWN KUBBEE TALENT. You boo free agents when they flop, you don't boo a guy who was taught for years what it's like to be a cub, wearing cubbie blue, learning lessons from teh Cubs legends in spring training. A guy who gets it. Theriot was a simple man, who had no expectations, then VOILA, he saved our butts time and time again. And he was ours from the start. All ours. Chief on that, dark skins.
