The amount of Theriot apparel I still see at games is obscene, and is one of the better arguments that this team deserves bad things to happen to it.

 

Boy, Hollandsworth played a LOT less for the Cubs than I remember being furious over.

 

Hollandsworth was stealing time from Jason Dubois dammit

I actively hated Hundley and Estes other than that I can’t really think of a player I passionately despised. Rusch and Marquis I kinda knew what they were and other common targets were on bad teams so they were just bad players on bad teams. I think I kinda disliked Julian Tavares but I have no idea why

I think I hated Antonio alfonseca but I’m not 100% sure.

 

 

I absolutely disliked Sergio mitre. At least as a pitcher.

I remember not liking AA up until he chestbelly bumped that ump that called Alou's double foul against the Cards.

 

Ironically, apparently that ump is now the head of the instant replay umps.

AA tossed me a ball during warm ups once so he's the greatest Cub of all time imo

Alfonseca was stronger than I realized.

 

the extra fingers probably helped

Milton Bradley threw me one between innings. Then some drunk horsefeathers was yelling at me to give it to a kid. We were in the bleachers. I scanned all over and didn't see a kid anywhere but he continued to talk horsefeathers until a security guard came to tell him to shut the horsefeathers up.

Did he give you the finger or something? Not like he would have missed it.

Nope. Badger is Indigo Montoya.

Who the F is Ismael Valdez?

 

he was a decent pitcher for the dodgers in the mid 90s but he kinda sucked by the time the cubs got him...and yeah, blisters.

 

Ah, yes, that rings a bell now. I think I've voided all but Sammy, Kerry, and Brant Brown's dropped fly ball from that era of the Cubs out of my brain. Or I drank too much in college.

The icing on this poop cake will be when Russell is lauded as having "saved the season" as the Cubs inevitably turn it around some time in the next 20 games.

 

"Cubs' record before Addison Russell return: 11-17 After: 41-26" or some such graphic around the all-star break.

Do we know who Gordon Davis is?

No idea, but when I Googled his name along with Russell's to see what you were talking about, the top result was a Muskat article about Russell celebrating Mother's Day in '16 with Melisa that should probably just get pulled down.

The name looked weirdly familiar, and he's been on various Cubs FB pages today as an Addison apologist
