David Ross' Grandpa Strength Splooge Thread.

[SKO]

I hope next summer Ross gets season tickets behind the home dugout at Wrigley for he and his kids and spends the entire summer giving his ex-mates the business.

He can get those two signs from the guy in Cleveland.

That has to be the single dumbest attempt to psyche out an opponent I've ever seen. I get fans of many teams trying to remind the Cubs of their past failures as if it matters, but Cleveland? Did I hallucinate Jose Mesa shitting his pants in 1997?

Colorado is reportedly interested in Dave Martinez for the manager's chair. Maybe Grandpa Rossy gets to hold on to his jersey.

Bud Black got the gig.

David would instantly be better than Ron Coomer so I'm going to start hoping for that.

I've resigned myself to Ross' next chapter taking place in Atlanta. But yeah, Pat & Rossy would be the best thing ever.

His Dancing With the Stars routine was like torture. I felt embarrassment just watching it. I hope he wins.

Ummmm...it was actually a really good quickstep. His footwork was good and he kept a steady frame.

I don't think he did a bad job -- I just couldn't get past the sequinned Cubs jersey.

Is GM Fork pulling a Paul DePodesta and expanding into new sports?

Fork loves to talk DWS and dancing every chance he gets these days.

Fork is definitely a far more credible source of analysis on ballroom dancing than he is on any of the sportsballs. Which is to say maybe just find something better to do with your time anyway

Than sit in a quiet SlackBox with nothing?

I didn't know Fork danced.

At first I threw my head back in laughter when I read this classic sample of DryEli, and then I quickly thought it was maybe DryButSeriousEli that was making an appearance.  It can be hard to tell.

Either way--an ELI POST!

Fork responding to Kurt's post with a "scout's eye" dancing critique is li-tra-ly the most predictable thing that has ever happened since I've been coming to this website.

I literally just finished writing a critique on that very routine.

Now some Cubs podcast wants me to come on each week that Ross dances to offer expert analysis. I'll probably just talk about how fucking hot Sharna Burgess is.

I guess this place really is dead.

No posts/commentary on Ross as manager?

The inexperience doesn't worry me. I just want the Cubs to utilize every possible advantage, especially advanced statistics, and I have zero idea as to whether or not Ross will do that. However, I trust the front office, so long as they aren't signing free agents to massive contracts, since most of those have been kind of busty.
