Growing increasingly frustrated, Ramirez slammed his helmet to the ground and launched into a tirade, saying that agreeing to take part in another 162 games was a waste of everyone's time.

 

"Another spring, summer, and fall out the [expletive] window," Ramirez said as several of his teammates, coaches, and team chairman Tom Ricketts nodded their heads in agreement. "I don't even know why we're here. Seriously, Ryan [Dempster], why are you here right now? Kosuke [Fukudome], what do you expect to get out of all this? Kerry [Wood], that you came back to this team after playing for the New York Yankees makes me [expletive] sick to my stomach for you and your family."

 

"Year after year we all know this is going to end badly, but here we are," Ramirez added. "It's the very definition of insanity."

 

Manager Mike Quade, visibly exasperated by a spring training he described as "the same old pathetic [expletive]," echoed the sentiment of his players, admitting that the Cubs were destined to put all of their fans, family, and friends through hell in a "miserable, futile season." Insisting the Cubs would accomplish nothing special in 2011, Quade predicted the team would temporarily raise expectations after a fairly decent start, lose several key players to injuries, fall into a slump for two crucial months, and then provide a torturous glimmer of hope with a brief comeback that would ultimately be followed by complete and utter collapse.

 

 

 

Love the Kerry Wood line.

Same [expletive], different season, eh?

The best Onion article ever was the one about PNC Park threatening to leave Pittsburgh unless a better team was fielded.

I'm still trying to figure out the title.

 

Too bad the OP doesn't know the difference between "they're" and "there."

 

clearly he or she didn't pay attention during they're grammar classes.
