Marty should have had been catsrated the moment he foisted that retarded son on the world.

Michael:  She was so innocent.

Dwight:  She was stoned.  Apparently

Also, the meeting of the 5 families was tremendous.  Quick, but tremendous.  The HVAC guy didn't even seem like he was being portrayed by an actor but a genuines hard ass.

(fell down and hit a table in his hotel room is code word for beating in a fag bar).

I didn't know that.

Yes, let's develop this a bit further.

I think Dave's just making a comment that tHom's a big weenie.

Then again I don't know, maybe he is a closet queen, which wouldn't surprise me.  Outspoken right-winger, a visceral air of smug self-righteousness, horribly frightened to disappoint his old man...yup, it all adds up.

However, I would think it rather uncommon for that type of violence to happen in a gay bar.  Wouldn't that be the kind of place where a big flaming tHom would feel safe?  And isn't normally the closeted gheys who inflict violence on unrepressed gheys?  For tHom, he would have to make a pass at either a straight man or a self-loathing,  closeted ghey to get a beating, no?  The odds of doing that and getting a beatdown in a gay bear seem rather slim, no?

Hmmmm....questions questions questions.

Quote from: Emo DoucheNone of those late-in-life ugly "veterans" that Tony LaRussa is addicted to, no Tony Womack, no Jeff Fassero, no Jason Christensen. It's a bunch of young guys with names like Skip, and Rico, and Ryan who keep scrapping out wins. The team looks alive; it looks like it cares.

This from a guy who wrote a book about taking fan discourse to a higher level. What a pantywaist.

Excellent point, RV.  Interesting how quickly the guy regressed to hacktastery there.

The Cubs had fucking well better win this division by 10 games.

Oh but don't tell Deadspin that. "They" couldn't restrain themselves after only 17 days into a season that lasts about 180.

It's a bunch of young guys with names like Skip, and Rico, and Ryan who keep scrapping out wins. The team looks alive; it looks like it cares. That hasn't been the case, really, since 2004, and that includes the World Series winner in 2006. Last night good ole Rick ended a 17-pitch at-bat with a walk. Jim Edmonds would have gotten bored around pitch nine and just grounded to second.

I didn't bother reading the comments to see if that gap-toothed scareball Landy Andrea has chimed in with some kool-aid drinking of her own, but I did notice that Deadspin's source is Viva EL Fucktards.  That would be like Desipio ranting about the Cubs after Michael Barrett's grand-slam on the season's first weekend in 2006 that helped propel the Cubs to a sweep and early-season optimism, and then linking to BCB.

I hate Kurt Hinrich.

Cool. Who is that?

He's Kirk's brother.

And Kirk happens to be worse than Kurt.

In fact I'm convinced Kirk is worse than Khalid El-Amin.

I hate Kurt Hinrich.

I'm glad DLee looks like he's going to prove me wrong.  Anytime Felix would like to hop on board that train would be ok by me too.

I'd be nice to hear from Chuck right about now, considering his petulant comparison of DLee to Mark Grace.

Oh, I forgot.  Chuck never admits when he's wrong.

I once missed my flight from Stansted (London) to Shannon (Ireland) in 2000.  It was the last flight of the day and it was aSunday.  I called home and heard the Bears beat the Colts in an upset, and then bellied up to the bar.  Sadly, the bar wasn't open all night and by the time I realized I better decamp, all of the seats were taking by sleepers.  I had to sleep on the ground.  I managed to fall asleep, though.  Nothing stranger for a 28 year old American travelling by himself to fall asleep while everyhting in the airport was down to mostly murmers and silence and then to open them and hear about 9 different anmated discussions taking place in about 4 different languages and it being morning.  Bad as it was, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything, as it was surely a rather colorful experience.

fucking bum.

STREETWISE!

Heathrow's a nightmare. 

The only two times I've ever lost my luggage happened at Heathrow both times, 5 years apart.

Who is the gritty cocksmith making that stupidly vain attempt for the catch?  Jacoby Ellsbury?

Here's one: Next month I'm flying into Chicago to see my brother play at the state tennis tournament, which is in and around Arlington Heights. 

If I fly into Midway, what's the best way to get up in that area?  I'll have someone who can pick me up once I get closer to the area, but it'd be nice if they didn't have to come down to Midway.  Any suggestions?

I think the only public transit that goes to Midway is the Orange Line.  You'd have to ride it from Midway back downtown, and then catch a Metra Train out to Arlington Heights.

That's a winner. 

It'll save you the aggravation of having someone drive from freaking Arlington Heights all the way to Cicero and 57th.  Fuck that.  Take the Orange Line to Washington/Wells and walk Madison Street west down to Clinton (it'll be about 3 blocks only) and pick up a Metra at the Olgilvie Station.  You'll geta  nice easy ride right to downtown Arlington Heights (or, depending on where your friend lives, possibly the racetrack)

The more I think about it, the angrier it makes me. Who the fuck is he?

He seems to be the one guy with super thin skin and he's always commenting on the way fans react to shit. And you know, he almost never, ever gets booed or criticized.

He just doesn't understand it, because he isn't a Cub. He's a baseball player that wears a white and blue uniform. He's just a player on a team whose history extends back to the very day he was traded here and no further.

And it's fine that he feels that way. In fact, it's probably healthy to feel that way. I wouldn't want my team's best player carrying around the angst that most Cub fans (at least the ones I know) feel every single day. However, keep it to yourself man. At least PRETEND to care about the plight of the fans who followed the team before you got here and will continue to follow it when you're following in your dad's footsteps and sleeping with 14 year old girls in Asia.

That might be your longest post ever.

I guess that's about all it has going for it.

I really felt your anger.  That's something else.

Did you make the first comment in that story, JD?

Also, I agree with Slaky 100%.  My sack flares up whenever DLee pontificates about the fans' booing.  Just shut the fuck up about it, dude.

I paid about $400 for a Trek 930 from Village Cycle in 1999.  By the time it got stolen in 2005, I had probably logged over 7,000 miles on it.  I commuted downtown, year round, from July 2002 until December 2005.  I find people who live in the city and bike regularly and insist on paying 2 grand for a bicycle are foolhardy.  Mine did just fine for 6 years.

That said, I invested quite a bit of money into the upkeep.  Annual tuneups, nice kevlar-based road tires, fenders, lights etc.

Also, even though I bought my bike at Village Cycle and got a good deal, they will never get another dime from me.  I took it in for repairs once and took it back to see that my lights and pedometer had been swiped.  They took no repsonsiblity for it.   I had always gotten a snobby vibe from those doucehbags anyway; my impression is that the people that work there only want to get baked and focus on their own shit, and subsequently suffer neophytes poorly.  Fuck that.

So for a while aftwards I had my tuneups and accessories shopping done at On The Route, on Lincoln, just south of the Lincoln/Ashland/Belmont intersection.  I was happy with them until one time I had my rear tire swiped and took it in and and felt the guy's casual attitude to be an affront to my urgency.  So I swore I wouldn't give my business to them  anymore.

The last place I did business with was Get a Grip, in the newly gentrified Iriving Park neighborhood (On Irving, near Kostner).  This kid who owned that store was initially very cool but then had the nerve to charge me one day for a $3 pump valve, after I had been patronizing him with my business (he was actually the guy I got my sweet kevlar-based tires from).  So I wrote him off.   (I'm apparently  a very fickle customer; you may not want to take my advice.)

Then my bike got stolen and I had gone without for 2 years.  However, I got myself a new bike last fall--another Trek--and haven't ridden it yet.  Once I get myself some nice panniers to hold my work clothes, I'll be rolling downtown again.  I can't fucking wait.

Bike store people can be total douchebags.  That's why when I strike it rich, I'm going to open my own damn bike store and I'll be cool as shit to everyone, I promise.
