I dunno, the instant dislike of it almost kinda makes me want it to be a thing.

brandon wants to take over kyle's role as the class contrarian

[Ding Dong Johnson]

He's doing a damn fine job.

Heydong makes the most logical sense.

[MWV]

Heydong man.

[jersey cubs fan]

Heydong man.

you beat me to it.

 

 

sidenote, I saw a guy wearing a heynong man shirt at the USWNT game in Nashville this weekend and called out Heynong Man. He was confused for a moment then started cracking up.

In fairness, I think mojo dropped that one in a game thread back on the old NSBB.

Heynong man has definitely become a weird "secret handshake".

I just looked up Bryant on B-ref and "Sparkles" is listed next to his name as his official nickname. Damnit.

She should start everything she writes that way.

[Clem Fandango]

She should start everything she writes that way.

 

"Not sure what's going on but Joe Maddon has released the lineups for tonight's game"

 

"Not sure what's going on but the Cubs have just signed Jason Heyward"

 

"Not sure whats going on but the Cubs win 5-2"

 

Yeah, that's pretty great.

Take out the fact that it would be sending the Cubs to the World Series, I still think getting these guys in the NLCS again and donging them into oblivion might be more satisfying than eliminating the Cardinals last year.

[David]

i'll take them missing the playoffs instead

[Brian]

yeah I was going to add that.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Gonna be pretty stoked to see them make the playoffs again by going .750 against the Phillies/Braves/Marlins and below .500 against everyone else. Thankfully their only legitimately great players are SP so maybe they'll get some comeuppance with injuries.

Releasing Brothers now seems odd doesn't it? Wonder if something happened or if they felt he just wasn't a fit.
