Sheets on the DL.

And their bullpen gets infinitely shittier with Yanni going back to the rotation. Balls.

Have any Cubs' fans noticed yet that "It's Gonna Happen" is written in the font the Red Sox use on their uniform fronts (both home and road?)

If "it" is I'm going to get pissed and try to beat that guy to death with his Busch Stadium-esque professionally painted sign, then "it" is indeed going to happen.

1) "It" wouldn't be written in the actual typeface the Red Sox use as that's a custom, proprietary face created exclusively for them. It's clearly meant to be a lookalike, though, and that's all that really matters.

2) Check out this sweet piece of remaindered Olympic bid merch he's selling:



I assume the five stars aren't a mistake, but rather his clever way of suggesting that Chicago 2016 will be on par with Chicago's two World Fairs.

Still lame.

3) I'll say it again: He's pushing a 14 MB image file on every page of his site. He should be shot in the face just for this.

That's over 1 GB of bandwidth for every 72 non-cached page loads. If I were to hotlink his image right here (and I won't, for everyone's sanity), we could probably eat up his monthly bandwidth allotment inside of a week.

Nope.

I think they zoomed in on one of these shirts Fan Cam-style yesterday.

It looked like it was written in Red Sox lettering.

WTF?

Nobody.

It was definitely Red Sox font, Red Sox colors, the schmo prob got a good deal on a bunch of left-over placards from '04.

He wore the matching "It's Gonna Happen" hat and tshirt and managed to get the hat on Woo-Woo, presumably gratis. 

Oh for chrissakes, if you're going to expect me to read my own messageboard, you're dopier than I am.

I thought the Chicago 2016 bid stated as much: Give us the Olympics, and we'll give you a star on our flag.

I hadn't heard that, but it's a hell of a pitch.

That ought to appease the South Side and shut up those immigrants' rights protesters right quick.

And maybe if we're extra good, the new star will be a gold one!

Yeah.  Knowing the Olympic guys, they'd insist on having the five stars be different colors.  And be rings.

You could always borrow the "I'ts Our Turn" sign that frequented the Cell in 2005.

MVPancakes.  Clutch.

Also, a great call on the pitchout with the squeeze on in the top of the 8th to help stop the bleeding.
