4/11 Cubs (Zambrano) at Phillies (Myers), CSN, 6:05 PM

Game Thread is really quiet without Fred

 

We also don't have any ongoing jokes happening at the moment. Otherwise, every other wiseass on this board would be contributing to the joke.

 

Nope. No ongoing jokes. No joke to "beat" into the ground. No joke to "abuse" over and over again.

That's because we already told the joke twice.

[Derwood]

can we get someone in the two-hole who can get on base please

[Garage Party]

I'm guessing Dusty will get booed mercilessly in his forthcoming return to Wrigley.

I'm really worried that some people will take it out of hand and give us all a bad name. He should be booed, loudly, but no slurs, please.

[CubsGM]

Damn it, hurry this up

I'm going to guess the following scenario happens.

 

Dusty gets booed really heavily each day of the Cubs/Reds series. Afterwards, even though nobody at Wrigley heard those slurs used, Dusty will accuse the Cubs fans of hurling racial slurs at him non-stop. He will then get on his high horse about how Cincinnati is a city that is much more accepting of him and it has no racism problems whatsoever.

 

Nope, none! Not any!

 

Of course, his story will change when Ken Griffey Junior starts to slump and gets booed by the Cincy fans.

[Outshined_One]

Bit of a crazy play there.

[BleacherBadger]

Hows the game looking? For those of us who aren't out of the office at 7 on a Friday night...

[Rob]

Damn.

[Rob]

Z's pickoff move is fast.

[Outshined_One]

Christ Comcast, never show Z from the waist down. The man is constantly adjusting himself.

[CubsGM]

Ugh we should have had him

[Outshined_One]

Gobbled him up with the sinker!

I dunno, the forecast I'm looking at, which tends to be highly accurate, doesn't call for rain for another 6 hours.

[CubsGM]

Crap.
