The 2016 Cubs: SPLOOGE SPLOOGE SPLOOGE

[World's #1 Astros Fan]

DPD.

"Backing in" is the '98 Cubs, who last 6 of their last 8 regularly-scheduled games before Neifi Perez TRULY saved their season by homering off Robb Nenn and giving them a reprieve which they--finally-- took advantage of.

People are bitter shitheels

Throwing fastballs down the middle to Ryan Braun seems to be going well.

[WTB...A RING FFS!!]

Yeah, with the exception of Cahill, the rest of the staff looked shitty today.

[Saul Goodman]

Three out of four against the Brewers?  DOOM!

I just stumbled across this video about Matt Szczur.

Helluva guy.

I take no responsibility for any dust that may be in the room.

I need the Cubs to take 2 of the 3 at least from the Cardinals because "BUT THE CARDINALS ARE WINNING THE SEASON SERIES" is a thing I heard a lot before that last series in St. Louis, as though that proved that the Cardinals are actually better than the Cubs and misfortune and injury are all that have led to the gap in the standings. Even though the Cardinals have won exactly one of the five series they've played this year.

Lighten up, Francis. I'm not saying they're must wins or that I'll be mad if they don't, just that this team leaving Cardinals fans with absolutely nothing to enjoy about this season would be yet another layer of icing on the cake. Sports is fun. Beating rivals is fun. Let's have fun.

Let me pick myself up from the floor for you telling me to lighten up first


If the Cubs win the World Series, any Cardinal fan bringing up that they won the season series should be of absolute zero consequence to you is all I'm saying.

True, but in the interim you have to understand that I am surrounded by the most intolerable Cardinals fans in the world out here in bugtussle and I don't want them to have even the slightest of joys in the rest of their miserable lives.

I'm not saying those people you describe don't exist, but if you actually let something like that bother you in this scenario then I can't help you.

I said "in the interim", as in between now and when the Cubs do win it all. Until then these 1908 screaming bastards take any shots they can at the Cubs.
