Aramis Ramirez says 2015 will be his final season.

I feel like he might be the most underappreciated Cub of my lifetime. The dude was really damn good for quite a stretch and yet lots of people seemed to have a problem with him.

Bob Brenly certainly fanned the flames of that stupid, stupid fire, and it's a big reason why I'm glad Bob fucking left.

People around here called him Pancakes for some reason nobody will say to my face.

I just remember one really stupid stretch where the guy with the only grand slam in Cubs postseason history who I believe is also the franchise record holder for walk off homers got criticized for only "playing well when it doesn't matter".

Christ I hate Cubs fans.

I thought Sosa was the walkoff leader.

Maybe he is, if so Aramis isn't far behind. None of this changes that he was the balls and anyone who has a problem with that can rot.

The Bobby Hill for Aramis and Kenny Lofton trade is in the top Cubs trades of all time, along with Larry Jackson for Fergie Jenkins, Ivan Dejesus for Larry Bowa and Ryne Sandberg and George Bell for Sammy Sosa.

Wisconsin still gonna Wisconsin.

First this and this.

And now the Appleton Timber Rattlers, the Class A Affiliate for the Brewers introduces the Big Mother Funnel Burger.



And, because it would be crazy to stop there, the Grilled Cheese Bacon Cheeseburger.

[InternetApex]

I have no issues with the second pic.

[ChuckD]

I'd eat the first one. I have eaten the second one (although not at a Timber Rattlers game). I see no problems with either.

But it was all Pen could do to post those pics before collapsing on his vegan fainting couch.

That said, even though I don't have any issues with it, I probably wouldn't eat a grilled cheese bacon cheeseburger anytime soon. I'm reminded of Ron Swanson's line about bacon wrapped shrimp. But it's kind of like jizzing on a girl's face. You try it once, just so you can say you've tried it. But afterward you'll probably feel kind of bad about yourself afterward and probably not want to do it again anytime soon.

Most of those people were local sportswriters and talk radioheads (most of them white) who had it out for the best 3B this city had seen in 3 decades because he wore a facemask while playing April baseball in Chicago. That, combined with the presence of a much shittier player at 3B on the South Side who was both white and on a World Series team (and thus tried much harder) for some reason made Aramis into a bad guy in the eyes of various meatballs in the press and fanbase.

Up yours, Barry Rozner.

They should make the whole couch out of vegans.

Seriously, if you wanted to make an all-balls Cub team, Aramis would be your third baseman. Dawson would be in right, Williams in left. Then you'd just make the rest of the team out of Glenn Beckert.

Bill Jurges ain't moving off shortstop, Fork.  The man took a fucking bullet, in-season for crissakes.

Dunston at short. Banks at first. Hank White behind the diddish. Jenkins, Wood, Zambrano, Three-Finger Brown. Lee Arthur Smith blows smoke in the 9th.

We need a centerfielder.
