Tonight's episode is going to be fucking awesome.  All flashback.  All MIB and Jacob.  

Hopefully they show how he turned into the black smoke.  

and Adam and Eve will be revealed.  I know that much.  

We get it, you read spoilers. Now shut the fuck up about them.

Apparently the spoilers are coming out like mustard colored poop.

I'm scared.

I haven't heard any other spoilers other than who adam and eve are.  
And I haven't heard anything at all about the finale.   I've been trying to avoid them, actually.  

You still managed to just post a fucking spoiler.

Good job, dood.

Like most of you, I like Brenly. I enjoyed his verbal stripdown of Ryan Braun last year. He's a decent color guy and generally fun to listen to, but he does have some MEATHEAD in him that filters out like it did last night.

Bob is like everyone's favorite uncle. His jokes and stories are as cheesy as they are predictable. And, yeah, he sometimes says just plain dumb shit. But it's all good, because he's just your favorite goofball uncle.

You just fetch him another beer and listen to the story about that time he wore blue shoes again. And you sure as hell don't fact check him.

This kid gets to balls that Theriot can only dream of tracking down. And then he nonchalantly sidearms them wide of the bag. It's a good thing Alan Trammell is the best infielding coach in the history of the sport or who knows what kind of bad habits this dude would develop. At some point he might teach one of them the proper way to field a throw from the catcher. One hopes that someone is Castro.

THIS.

If Trammel is worth a shit, he'll teach Castro to stay home, on the bag, on throws to second from the catcher on attempted steals.  I heard on the radio that Castro apparently did one of those ghey-assed, jump out-out-in-front-of-the-bag and then sweep back for a diving tag attempt on a Brandon Phillips stolen base.  Just because all the kids are doing it doesn't make it right.  That shit needs to stop yesterday.

I don't normally encourage kids to STAY OFF HUEY'S LAWN, but...

THIS.

At least he got eight whole innings before the idiots at Wrigley booed him.  Fuck Cubs fans. 

Really? Fuck this goddamn gutless fucking fanbase.

Who is Scott Moore?

1/3 of a Kyle Farnsworth and 1/2 of a Steve Trachsel 2.

Red Beard is really flirtin' with disaster.

Starlin is the first Cub player born in 1990 or later to make the MLB.  I feel old.

He might be the first Cub player in my lifetime who is younger than me.

Mine was Kerry Wood.

Carlos Zambrano.

For theose strawmen around here who have insisted that Malkin is really the Penguins' best player...

http://www.kuklaskorner.com/index.php/psh/comments/malkin_has_not_been_a_difference_maker/

Just some (hopefully) interesting reading.

Instead of searching around to see if anyone actually suggested this, I'm just going to go out on a limb and call bullshit'd.

I'm pretty sure someone here did say that in the past. It was as wrong then (whenever it was said) as it is now.

That said:

Pretty sure no one here really gives a shit who the Penguins' best player is.

Not a fan of the pick.

Say no more.

I figured MikeC would show up with all kinds of talking points & pyrotechnics.

My basic misgiving (which has no value whatsoever) is that judges make decisions that carry ramifications. Kagan has absolutely no experience at this.

It would be tantamount to any of us, who can sit here and pontificate about baseball stats and strategy without any real experience, being appointed manager of the Cubs for life.

Over a third of the 111 Supreme Court justices in American history came to the job without prior experience as judges.

Notably: Hugo Black (lawyer and Senator), Felix Frankfurter (lawyer and one of the founders of the ACLU), Thurgood Marshall (lawyer and Chief Counsel for the NAACP), Louis Brandeis (lawyer and social activist), William Rehnquist (lawyer and US Assistant Attorney General), Earl Warren (California Attorney General, Governor of California and sleazy male stripper).

What the fuck are you doing Perd Hapley?

That name is amazing.

April: Do you want me to seduce Perd Hapley?

Leslie: How would that help?

April: I don't know. I just want to see if I could do it.

Leslie: April, I appreciate that, but I don't think it's something worth losing your virginity over.

What's the difference in Starlin playing meaningless biesbol in Chicago versus meaningless biesbol in Iowa or Buttfuckingham, Tennessee or Crotch Scratch Springs, Florida?  For fuck's sake, he was proving that he was above thr competition in the minors.  Why not bring him up?

This is fine if he plays. What some people fear is that, whenever he starts to struggle, he'll find the major league bench and lose those ABs, which won't help his development at all.

Quote from: Powdered Toast Man on May 09, 2010, 08:09:38 AM
I know a lot of you like to think you know better, but this team sucks.

Who here is saying they don't? That's exactly the point. Bringing up Castro so young, like moving Zambrano to the pen, strikes a lot of us as a dumb win-it-now move by a team that is not even remotely ready to begin winning it now.

But if this is actually what's best for Castro's development, so be it. (It's kind of nice that the Cubs are finally calling up a "kid" from the farm under the age of 27.) We've been burnt too many times before to trust this, though.

Adding...

Throat, meet boot.
