[Sammy Sofa]

fred?

 

oh, truffle

[Sammy Sofa]

With my work schedule I don't get to watch many of the games, so now that Fred is mostly too busy to do the in-game stats I have fun trying to determine what the score is based on the latest page of posts in a game thread.

 

Most of the time I end up assuming the Cubs are losing 29-2.

[Derwood]

That photo looks like Bryant

 

I'm not even going to start with this game tonight. I have to be up too early

That's some kind of weird face-blindness Derwood has going on there.

No, the black guy, doy

[Sammy Sofa]

Actually, he kind of has a point. Arrieta used to look like this:

Alright, sorta close.

 

But now Arrieta looks like this:

That Woolly Willie beard does a lot of damage.

[DiamondMind]

Where is everyone? Drunk already?

[DiamondMind]

[halplm]

Castro looked a lot better last night, hopefully that continues.

 

I really only see two possibilities for tonight after the sorry excuse for a hangover last night: We get shut out and nearly or possibly no-hit... or we win 12-2.

[DiamondMind]

We get shut out and nearly or possibly no-hit... or we win 12-2.

 

Duh. :P

[jersey cubs fan]

In what weird world does that look like Bryant at all?

[ScrubMD]

You whites all look the same to me.

[Guest]

We win easily 8-2 and take the series tomorrow.

[treebird]

goldschmidt is good.

[treebird]

rizzo's okay, too.

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow, Rizzo.

[DiamondMind]

Fatalism engaged.

[treebird]

yikes

[ScrubMD]

Baseball is the dumbest sport ever.
