Ricketts Family Annoyance Thread

[Chuck to Chuck]

I've heard a lot of people making fun of the new mascot because it looks like it's for kids. Aren't mascots supposed to be for kids? It's not a new logo. I don't understand why this is even a story.

Seriously. It's for kids. It really is that simple.

And irrationally hating it means you're agreeing with Chuck.

I don't irrationally hate it. I understand what they are doing.  I just think the design, execution and roll out was well done for a bunch of hack amateurs. You know, the kind of people who would be so stupid as to ask for public financing while running a PAC against government spending.

Welcome to Chucktown where all Cubs news fits into the "Tom Ricketts is dumb" narrative.

Why do you care? This is like bitching about the quality of the food on a kids menu. "And such small portions!"

Then threading in a non sequitur about Joe Ricketts' politics or Pete Ricketts' run for governor in Nebraska.

 Right now, this is Illinois introducing a new, cartoon Chief Illiniwek.

Illinois the University? or Illinois the state?

Meet Squeezy the Pension Python!



As for "Clark," were Ramirez, Beckett, Garvey, Stargell, Kranepool and Greenberg all rejected?

I don't. Doesn't mean I can't make fun of it.

I'm more annoyed by people getting butthurt over the mascot than I am by the fact that the Cubs are going to blow this year. True story.

Can we at least agree that the original mascot was awesome?



They really should have brought that one back.

That sums is up perfectly.

If you have kids can you bitch about the quality of the food on the kids menu?

Because I do all the time.

You end up eating it. You don't have to eat it. Isn't it always chicken fingers or some shit like that? I assumed it always sucks.

I don't have to but I hate to see food go to waste.

It's usually finger food, yes.

I don't know what we're talking about anymore.

I don't care about the Cubs mascot but I like jokes.
