2011 Chicago Cubs: Career Years for Everyone!

[Powdered Toast Man]

This is all sorts of awesome.

Darwin Barney - "He makes up for his power and patience deficits by running out pop flies and reliably converting into outs the ground balls hit right at him. You can't teach that."

Juan Pierre - "If Pierre has a hole in his game, beyond his glove, arm, patience and power, it's that he wants it so, so badly. When he manages to get on base, his eagerness to help the team win results in failed steals and pickoffs aplenty. What courage! "

Gutsy and gritty are just words used by guys who don't want to say that the players they're describing aren't to describe yet another shitty player from LSU who isn't really that great, but it's cute that they try so hard.

Barney nor Pierre went to LSU, Hideo Bromo.

The Cubs are gung-ho for gays. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

If only the "it" of It Gets Better was the team. DYR!!

Don't be fooled by Laura's involvement. This is all about protecting the business of the world's largest gay bar.

DPD. Career years for everyone?

"Overall, we didn't play very good baseball, and they did," Ryan Braun said. "That's a good team they have over there. I don't think they've played up to expectations to this point, but they're going to be in it at the end of the year. So it was a combination of us playing bad and them playing good."

I didn't know Ryan Braun could be somewhat gracious. He's also stupid and a liar.

What's really going on'd.

It's rare that changing into an Ed Hardy shirt could make someone look less douchey.

While this really belongs in the "The NL Central is really fucking bad" thread, this seems like a good place to post Ryan Braun promoting pop-shot inducing Muscle Milk.  No word on if he prefers the banana creme.

And here's the source article for the above that speaks to Braun being "one of the most conscientious stars in baseball about attempting to build his personal brand"

Ryan Braun makes Jim Edmonds look like Billy Dee Williams.
