2013 Epstink's Chicago Cubstinks

DPD. Optoat has officially replaced Jub Jub as the nickname for my cat.

It's a cat. Just call it whatever you want.

I think he is

Fair point.

It's a cat.  It doesn't matter what you call him.  He couldn't care less.  He's not going to come anyway.

The Cubs are in the top half of the NL in OPS. Yay?

Third in slugging. The on base still kind of stinks.

By my count, there are now only 5 players (Samardzija, Castro, Barney, Russell, and Castillo) who remain from the 25-man roster that Jepstink inherited in 2011. That's a lot of goddamn gutless fucking assholes to unload in <2 years.

Snorknado is now the longest tenured Cub -- 5 years as of yesterday.

*polite clap*

Actually, make that 6 -- Rafael Dolis. However, even if you use the 40-man rosters from 2011 and 2013, you'll only find those same 6 names common to both.

So I'd never heard of or seen this Billy Cub guy before this week. Anyone have any run-ins?

He smells... like really bad.

Pretty sure I have a picture of this guy with my (at the time) 2.5-year old daughter before a late September game in 2008 an--HOLY SHIT HE WASN'T OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED?!?!  THIS RUINS EVERYTHING!  *burns picture*

He didn't do himself any favors on B&B. I'm not sure he's all there.

North side version of Andy the Clown? I'm pretty sure the Sox invited him to Old Comiskey just in time for the demolition.

Sweeping the Giants (however shitty they are) means the Cubs are now seven games under .500 and 9.5 games out of the wild card.

I think it's time for the annual TJ Explains How The Cubs Win It All post.

Still better than Jerry Pritikin.
