i think billy corgan is in the midst of a mental breakdown.

 

Starting in 2008?

 

no, he was just on stern (?) talking [expletive] about pearl jam and foo fighters...saying they're his "competitors" and stuff.

EDIT: It doesn't sound all that harsh when I read the quotes.

Mooney says the Cubs showed Lester a video that ended with him on the mound as the Cubs won the World Series.

"I'm not 18, I don't need to walk out onto the field with my name and number on a jumbotron."

 

"But being CGI'd into a fake World Series video would be [expletive] sweet."

 

edit: Beat me^^

 

Reminds me of that episode of Entourage where various agencies are trying to sign Vincent Chase.

Billy's a big believer in chemtrails:

Probably a Truther, too.

 

And the Vedder song...he says "Wri-gu-lee Field."

What took so long?

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey, I actually like it otherwise.

Ya'll are drunk with NOCODE.

 

Up in my tree FTW

OK, i had to Google chem-trail because I had no idea what that was. There is no way this is a real conspiracy thing, right? I mean...he's just making fun of them there right? UN-freaking-believable.

[Sammy Sofa]

It used to be a lot bigger than it is now; it really flourished in the 90's. Kind of replaced people freaking out over fluoride in the water.

There's a guy I work with who totally believes it.

Correct.

I definitely went through a conspiracy phase back in the day, but then as the internet became more of a thing and I had access to more information it became obvious how much of them were just made up of exaggerations, overreactions, mistakes or just plain bull [expletive]. It's depressing how many people don't take advantage of how much learning they have at their fingertips and they only dwell in places that treat these theories like gospel. It's a bit scary how you'll hear people rattle off things like chemtrails or not landing on the moon or Truther crap like they're established and accepted facts.

[Sammy Sofa]

Alright, we're getting distracted; time for more baller moves, Cubs.

Cuz everything in the inter webs is truth.

Guys, I feel like although picking up Lester sounds great, I will never understand it with gifs and twitter clips....what I REALLLY need, and what we all need, is for this whole episode to be illustrated via MS Paint. Can ya help a fellow out Treymon?

I have been waiting for that. This is a franchise changing acquisition that had many twists and turns...deserves to be immortalized with Nomar and Theo.

Wittenmeyer just posted an article saying that the Lester signing doesn't mean the Cubs are on a "spending spree" and they're likely done with any impact moves for the rest of the offseason. And with that, I fully expect the Cubs to acquire Justin Upton tomorrow.

I don't think Wittenmeyer has any reliable sources and just throws [expletive] at the wall at this point.

It's a lot easier for some to buy into faceless nefarious pupptermasters than it is to chalk things up to a random and chaotic universe. At least someone is in charge.

He had the Giants as favorites about 30 minutes before they dropped out.
