Not getting my hopes up but I'm also not looking to settle.  Once you're in, anything can fucking happen.

A little from column A, a little from column B. Of course I want them to win, and yeah of course they can win, but I'm just hoping to avoid the stress levels I had in 2003 and 2008 because this should be the beginning of a long run of success. We'll see how well that works once the playoffs start. I'm sure I'll be a wreck.

Nuh-uh.  Were you not paying attention to Eli?  If the Cubs don't win it all this year, they'll never win it.

If you're confused about this concept, go ask a Nationals fan - if you can find one who hasn't slit its wrists after so many years of abject failure.

What a wonderful, nuanced place for discussion Desipio has continued to blossom into, even after all these years.

It's ok, Eli. I think you make a good point.

It'd be easier to clarify the times someone is NOT joking at Desipio. Maybe a sincerity font instead of the sarcasm font most sites use?

It would need to be some kind of fancy cursive font.

I was mostly trying to make a bad joke implying that the only person who agreed with you was the forum pariah. This is why I usually cancel out of writing any post where I make a joke, I'm unfunny as fuck.

But it's still fun to think about it.

Fuck you, weather.  I'll beat the shit out of the nearest Skilling if this game doesn't happen.

It's okay weather don't listen to Oleg he's just being short with you. Just delay it long enough so I can watch in real time.

This is excellent: http://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/theo-epstein-cubs-playoffs-in-reach/

QuoteThey traded for a veteran leadoff hitter, Dexter Fowler, and they began calling up (or recalling) the kids, all of them – Bryant, Schwarber, Russell, Jorge Soler, Javier Baez, Matt Szczur, on and on.

Szczur?  I lol'd.
