Clark the Cub Discussion Thread

I don't know any of those people.

 

I'm pretty sure the dark skinned gentleman wearing the Soler jersey is Soler, but I could be wrong.

Soler, Olt and Erik Jokisch

Could be, but Bob still doesn't know Soler now, does he?

How long before we have a girl mascot named Addison?

This thread had me rolling so hard that I just had to excuse myself into the bathroom at work. God, there's nothing worse than holding in laughter in a quiet work setting.

I wish the rooftop owners would've protested this.

Who's eyes are more functional Olt's or Clark's?

Yeah, between this thread and the Deadspin comments, I had my share of laughs yesterday. It's not that I'm against the concept of introducing a mascot, I think its the combo of a quiet and depressing offseason and such an easy to mock first image of the mascot.

This thread is so full of win.

"They hate me," he said. "I haven't even been the mascot one day and they all already hate me."

He'd grown up, like most kids in his neighborhood, with dreams of manning third base for the Cubs. The cover of the diary he kept as a nine-year-old was now almost completely worn off, and some of the pages threatened to fall out of the spiral rings. But, in this moment, he found himself turning the pages. He'd dared not open it for years, afraid of losing some of the priceless mementos of his past.

 

In it, he found he'd charted his career path as a Cubs minor league.

 

"'Triple A by 20,' what a joke," he said, aware that when he was 20, he had actually been a D-student with a steadily growing ponch above his belt. The Freshman 15 had gotten him at least twice, appropriate, considering he'd repeated many of the classes he'd taken those first two semesters.

 

But the thought struck him that, at just 25, he was still tasked with going to Wrigley Field every day. Sure it wasn't on the hot corner, but he was still in the park. And yeah, the adults would hate him, throw beer on him, hell, probably piss on him. But the kids would love him. And wasn't that the point? Who dreams of being a pro athlete as a child with the goal being the adoration of adults? He'd always envisioned himself taking pictures with little kids, signing autographs, tussling their hair and calling them "champ" or "sport."

 

Suddenly he discovered he was no longer dreading the job, he was actually looking forward to it.

 

Running his fingers across his chinstrap beard, he looked one last time into the Tupac poster above his bed, "Hail Mary" playing on his iPod.

 

"Now, do you want to ride or die?" he asked.

If this was reddit, i think imb would be up to about 20k karma by now just for this thread alone.

There's precedent.

I'm just going to place this here. Apparently Washington DC's Comcast Sportsnet showed the, uh, wrong Clark.

Where's the one with Clark itching himself, if you know what I mean.

 

I wanna see that one again. PM me.

It's in the comments of the Deadspin post calling for photoshops.

Not a bad flier, and if we can catch lightening in a bottle for a few months, someone could fork over a few lottery tickets or a reclamation.

That was really, REALLY bad timing. Just as she said "can't wait to interact with the kids", there he is with his dick out.
