Jones scoring is frustrating because you saw one thing that happens every so often (Soriano [expletive] up the play) yet the average Cubs fan will act like happens almost every game, followed up by something all the damn time (Theriot having the arm strength of a dying child) that the average Cubs fan acts like doesn't exist.

exactly. Which is why I hate "average" sports fans.

 

I'm actually envious of the average fan. Everytime the Cubs lose my day is ruined, whenever UK loses in b-ball my week is ruined. Even though i realize if the cubs lose 62 games it was the best season I have ever witnessed i still live and die on every win and loss. Sometimes I wish i was just an "average" fan.

I don't consider myself an "average" fan by any means. But my days of living and dying with each win/loss are over.

 

 

I live and die with my teams' wins and losses but I'm usually able to get over it within 5 minutes now.

Does Cashner throw anything but fastballs? I don't think he's thrown anything else thus far.

 

Good lord look at the size of that kid's helmet.

He's thrown a bunch of sliders.

You've been paying partial attention, then. His slider has averaged around 84. Both his K's came on sliders.

Actually, what I haven't seen yet is a changeup, but I haven't seen every pitch, either.

I was much worse 2 years ago as most here would attest to. My mood can be altered by wins/losses, but like you it usually lasts like 5 minutes or so. When I was like 20, people couldnt be around me when my teams lost. Pretty sad thinking about it in retrospect.

For me it's all happened since the 08 playoff collapse. Also being around the game much more often has helped, but the collapse is really what did it. I just decided it wasn't worth it to be that involved in the win/loss outcome anymore.
