Anyone checked out/ordered from this place? My dad and I picked some bourbon samples to try over New Year's.  Shipping is all screwed up in the UK, though, and it could take a while to get here.

Does it make me bad that after that '08 choke in the playoffs that I decided I'm not going to really watch the Cubs til I see they actually made a World Series? I have a wife and 8-month old and thought for sure they'd at least make it in '08. I just don't have the time/patience to dedicate the ridiculous amounts of time to these losers like I used to. I think I may have watched all of 20 innings all last season when surfing. Now after they make it to the series, if that ever happens in my lifetime, I'll get back to watching. Just not putting any more stock in this team til they can make it over the hump for once.

I find myself slowly drifting in this direction.

Just win a fucking pennant already, assholes.

Thirded.

When the topic of saving a little more came up about a month or so ago, my yearly baseball package purchase was the first suggestion out of my mouth.  I've got too many other things to do to spend time being frustrated about a team of millionaires disappointing me year after year.

Saw this tonight.  Well, part of it.  The non-stop shaky cam made me nauseous enough that I couldn't look at the screen when the camera wasn't on the tripod.  What a waste of 20 bucks.

I hate this show if for no other reason than because the commercials that aired during it reminded my wife that Grey's Anatomy was premiering.

Charming.  Just think, only two more years of his cheerful, good-natured attitude.

The bad reviews didn't do this movie justice.  What a steaming pile.

Doesn't sound like this ump has a hangup.... geez.

The umpire who ejected Milton Bradley in his Wrigley Field debut Friday intends to file a report stating that the outfielder made physical contact.
Bradley is in serious danger of being suspended. He struck out looking on a full count pitch and shared a brief, but aggressive, exchange with umpire Dan Iassogna, at one point knocking the ump's hat slightly up his head. The report will be filed with the Commissioner's Office on Saturday. We'll keep you updated. Apr. 17 - 9:29 am et

That report isn't right. Iassogna was the second base umpire who said a report would be filed. Larry Vanover was the cockbag behind the plate who ass-raped Bradley on balls and strikes and then tossed him.

According to the Trib the only contact between Bradley and Vanover was the bills of their caps and it's so brief you have to run the tape in slo-mo to even see it.

Knowing his desire to fuck the Cubs in any conceivable way I would guess Bud makes sure Bradley gets a few days off. Fucking douchebag.

As predicted...

DPD.

Want to spend a few days in Puerto Vallarta in February.

Anyone know a nice place?

I was there at the beginning of this month.  My wife and I stayed at the Riu Vallarta in the Nuevo Vallarta part of the bay.  If you're looking for an all-inclusive, it wasn't too bad, both price-wise and accommodations.  Through Funjet, 6 nights/7 days ran me about $2500 for two people including airfare.  There were events throughout the day and entertainment every night.  Five restaurants (three specialty requiring once-per-stay reservations), five or six bars, and a decent amount of beachfront. The staff was really attentive with the little things, but sometimes overzealous.  It was a little bit far from downtown (15-20 mins.) and the airport (30 mins.), but cabs were really cheap (less than 15 bucks).

As for day trips, do the Los Veranos canopy tour.  There are 14 zip lines going back and forth across a river and a couple of them are near 500 feet up.

Grab a guidebook of phrases, too.  The English was pretty good for most of the people we met, but it can was hit or miss downtown.

Also, the time shares are desperate for people to sign up down there.  They'll give you all sorts of deals just to get you to come and listen.  The cost for two day trips for two people was less than the regular price for one trip for one person.  We could have had bottles of A-list tequila, cash, and free stays to name some of the other offers.

Now you know why Zambrano doesn't merit a splooge thread; because half the time, he deserves a fuck-you thread, instead. Z has become an all-or-nothing guy the last two years, he might be the highest variance SP in the league.

I don't trust that consistency at all in a short series, I hope Lou makes Dempster his #1 for the playoffs, Demp has been the most consistent starter this season.

Good luck.  Seriously.

Goddammit, what is your fucking problem, bitch? Enough is enough, you feel the need to attack people on this site due to some fucking agenda or whatever, most people came here to talk about, rave about, and yes, bitch about, the Cubs. I don't come here to get attacked with every damn post I make from some fuckhead with a Cardinals logo for god's sake.

Where did I say anything about some fucking pussy named "Mike D" in my post? But that's OK, you can begin ranting on someone without provocation, and I'm sure some of your like-minded little bitches can be nice and smarmy and jump in, too.

You want to play personal games, fine, that's what the other thread is for. Otherwise, keep it out of other threads on a CUBS FAN SITE, is that so damn hard for you? ASSHOLE.

Your idiocy makes my brain melt and that upsets me.

Just thought I should say something.

I don't know what's worse, PPE's hyperreactive ledge jumping or your constant bullying assholism towards people you don't agree with.  You must be a fucking peach to be around.

You could stop referring to it yourself...

Christ on a bike.

Not really the greatest follower to the last couple of posts but here goes:

I just got a really great job offer, and I'm feeling like it's the right move for me to take it.  However, it means that I'll be moving from Cleveland to Raleigh without my fiancee, at least until our wedding in August and possibly later depending on a couple of things.  I'm nervous about the whole idea, so my question is two-fold.

First, any suggestions for doing the long-distance relationship thing for the next five months? Second, are there Desipiots living in Raleigh or who have passed through there with recommendations about living, eating, etc?  I don't know a whole lot about the area, and I'll take any help I can get.

Anybody know when this starts up again?  Should be in a few weeks...

It's in a few weeks or so.

I heard it was coming back in a couple of weeks, give or take...

According to the TVIV, it's sometime in September.

September 13th at 10pm EST, according to this.  It's at the bottom.

If anyone has any leads on high-paying jobs that don't require training, actual work, or even showing up, then hit me up. 

If you don't mind the occasional gunshot, I could give you a reference for the crack dealers down the street from me.

Quote4. Chicago (15-3). Bring it on, e-mailers. I can't wait. Get it all out of your system now, because I do not think on a neutral field the Bears are better than the Patriots or Chargers.

I could maybe see the Chargers because our run defense has been suspect at times, but I see the Patriots as receiving accolades based on reputation similar to how Notre Dame has been accused.  They've been traditionally great in the last several years, and Tom Brady has carried the team this year, but I see them as having more flaws than the Bears.

That said, what's with his self-applause for being courteous on the airplane?  Way to inject yourself into the story, dipshit.
