fatalism thread

why would something good happen when something bad could happen instead?

[Tracer Bullet]

to get your hopes up so the crash will be harder when something even worse happens

To provide contrast, so that the bad can feel really bad.

I found out from my dad that he missed the 60th birthday wish my mom got for him on the new Jumbotron the other day because he was stuck in one of the cursed Wrigley bathroom lines for nearly half an hour.

 

This team is made of evil.

bump for cardinals

[treebird]

never pretend the cubs will make you happy.

 

all is not lost -- all never was.

Mark Reynolds baseball superstar.

 

Oh wait he's hitting like .175 in games not against the Cubs and probably a shitty fielder

[Sammy Sofa]

To be fair, Travis Wood is some kind of garbage person.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Cubs are destined to forever be the prison gf of the Cardinals.

[treebird]

this game is everything you should need to see to never get your hopes up ever again.

 

if you let the cubs hurt you, it's your fault, not theirs.

[Little Slide Rooter]

We never should have traded Lou Brock.

[treebird]

you'd save and be ready to re-load before clicking SIM, though. the cubs will never get that chance.

tonight was also an important developmental step for our young guys. it will quickly be ingrained in them that they can never win in busch stadium and should never try. even in future seasons with better and better teams, the screams of the ghosts of the cardinals' suicide-by-dui all-stars will be deafening.

I wonder if their screams are pitched better than the average suicide-by-dui ghost?

The Cardinals are a little better on paper and have a 5.5 game lead. I like our wild card chances, but the division is not even worth worrying about. Edited May 5, 2015 by Hairyducked Idiot

Seriously. The entire reason people are getting worked up in the game threads is because the division isn't and shouldn't be a foregone conclusion. We need to get out of the coin flip game if there's any possible way to do it.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

It's not a foregone conclusion. It's just a long shot and the WC is way more likely.

[Guest]

it's like 20% right now and can easily be significantly higher in 2-3 days (part of the reason even talking like that is stupid right now)

 

20% for something like this isn't a long shot. it's a real opportunity.

but this is the fatalism thread so i lose

It's a slim chance. I'm not going to turn it down or anything, but when I check the scores, I'm looking at wild-card rivals first. YMMV.
