2015: The Back To The Future Season

[Saul Goodman]

Outstanding.

[Yeti]

Outstanding.

Truly is. I miss these.

[ChuckD]

Six days left in August and the 2015 Cubs have already equaled their win total from 2014.

[Quality Start Machine]

Outstanding.

My eye keeps getting drawn to Slak.

[SKO]

I just noticed the Malort and the Gorilla. Goddammit, Morph. You are a tortured genius.

[SKO]

Speaking of the Giants, I honestly feel that the main objective of this series is to not get swept.  Losing all 3 would slingshot the Giants right back into the Wildcard race with a head full of steam.

I'd be disappointed if the Cubs don't take 2 of the games but honestly I'm primarily concerned with them taking at least 1.

Take 2, on the other hand, and they've nearly pushed the Giants out of contention.

Sweep the series and I think we can start planning for at least one postseason game.

"Let's see how this plays out" on the bottom right. He also replaced the twitter handle by the date.

Is that Toews perve-face above Castro?

Rocking a high-top fade, natch.

Yup.

Now it's time to get greedy and steal another game before they face the inevitable Bumgarner Beatdown tomorrow.  C'mon Hendricks.

Bumgarner is definitely going to homer off Haren. So yeah, go Kyle Hendricks. I also hope Schwarber has another homer in him tonight, because seeing him go yard off of Peavy after the redass fit that Peavy threw over Schwarber taking too long to get set or whatever would be glorious.

DPD: this Cubs Perfect Strangers intro is the best: http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/story/2015-08-25/chicago-cubs-perfect-strangers-video-sitcom-intro-mashup-giants-pirates-full-house-family-matters

That made me happier than something that cheesy ever should.

They say we're living in the golden age of television but we no longer have cheesy 80s theme songs so I call bullshit on that. The only one I'd have preferred over the Perfect Strangers theme would have been Growing Pains, which would have been extremely suitable with a team full of rookies and all.

But Growing Pains didn't take place in Chicago or have Wrigley in its credits.

This is true but I have long maintained that the Growing Pains theme song is the greatest theme song in the history of corny TV theme songs and so I must champion it wherever possible.

I won't knock you for that. I've been championing "Movin' On Up" since before I can remember.

That's a banger. I'll take "Cheers."

Instrumental category: "M*A*S*H*" Honorable mention: "Night Court"

Sleeper pick: "227"

No longer appreciated due to Cosby affiliation: "A Different World"

Does it have to be 80's? Because the Sammy Davis Jr. version of the Baretta theme song is epic.

Hell almost any 60's - 70's cop show theme music is killer.

Instrumental-- Rockford Files and CHIPs were classics (St. Elsewhere a sleeper pick)
Sitcom  just wanted to put a good word in for Alice and Three's Company

Sanford and Son

Cheers? Not very sappy. Actually depressing. Fit the post-Carter 80's to a T.

And M*A*S*H*? "Suicide is Painless?

Those two are hardly cheese "everything's wonderful."

Hell, both of those are terrific themes for the Cubs in general.

How the fuck has nobody mentioned Cagney and Lacey in this conversation yet?

Also, you all probably won't know this one, but it's a British classic: The Professionals

Because we're not gay homosexuals?
