OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Personally, I'm stunned by the knowledge that people who own sports franchises are incredibly rich and are also terrible people.

I'm not, except the Rickettseses loudly and repeatedly argued they were going to be different. That aged well.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

They fielded a World Champion. All they did was overestimate the shelf life on that goodwill.

Hey!

It's okay when you are a position player. It's not when you're a pitcher! Or "pitcher."

Please tell me that Zagurski's nickname is "Bronco".
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

A Zagurski/Mekkes bullpen dance is that this nation needs.

IT'S SPRING!    Of course it won't really be Spring until the first pitch is thrown.  But technically, I made it to another season!  Oh frabjeous day!  Tulloo, tullay.

Yeah...this offseason has been too goddamn long.  Bring on the real baseball.

Six errors?  My grandson's little league team has never made six errors in a game.  Well, almost never.

CUBS SIGN 5-YEAR EXTENSION WITH RIGHT-HANDED-HITTING, BEARDED THIRD BASEMAN WEARING A JERSEY NUMBER IN THE TEENS WHOSE LAST NAME STARTS WITH B!

I, for one, am glad that the Cubs urgently locked up their *checks notes* utility infielder for *checks notes again* SIX FUCKING YEARS FROM NOW rather than doing anything about the SHITTY FUCKING BULLPEN THAT, FIVE GAMES INTO THE SEASON, HAS COUGHED UP THREE GAMES ALREADY.

I'm really looking forward to David Bote still being on the team when KB, Tony Ballgame, Javy and Schwarbs have all moved on without winning another WS because CJF EDWARDS, TYLER CUNTWOOD and MIKE MONTFUCKINGGOMERY.
