Guilty pleasure involving dirty humor #37:

 

Watching any sporting event with players named "Wang" and "Dong" involved.

CUBS are 3-7 when they allow 3 or more HR in a game.

 

Go CUBS !!

Don't forget Angel Pagan! He's the glue that can bring the team together!

Hey dude, why do you hate being aggressive at the plate?

[Guancous]

Does anyone find it strange when Dusty has been most successful? The Giants made the playoffs when Barry Bonds reached a 19 hat size. The Cubs make the playoffs when Sammy was... bigger. The Cubs have been dreadful ever since stringent testing has been implemented. Isn't it weird how most of his strongest defenders have played the worst over the last couple of years?

 

Are you implying what I think you might be implying in regards to roids?

 

I'm not saying that Dusty encouraged steroid abuse. I think that he turned a blind eye to it. The Cubs perform fewer conditioning drills than other teams. It appears that they perform less fundamental drills as well. I'm just saying that they are not a disciplined as most teams because of a "hands off the veterans" approach.

The wind was blowing out in the first inning.

 

The wind blows straight into the ground when we hit.

I think that kind of an accusation is really hard to prove and, quite frankly, unfair given circumstances and climate of that kind of abuse. A number of managers in baseball could be implicated in a similar fashion (Tony LaRussa comes immediately to mind) who drill their teams much harder and offer a better focus on fundamentals.

Jones grounded out to second, 4-3
