General Cubs Chit-Chat

Projected to get 100 wins again too.

 

How do the Red Sox have better playoff odds across the board with a worse record than the Orioles?

 

Run differential,

Actually, it's projections. Obviously, that may (or may not) be reflected in the run differential too, as the concepts kind of go hand in hand.

Kyle is the NL co-player of the week.

[TruffleShuffle]

if the season were to end now, the cubs would have the highest defensive efficiency of any team in the past 25 years.

[Bull]

I've been moving the last week and kind of lost track. Have we any word on Rondon yet?

 

Edit: never mind. Just found an article about a sore triceps. Yikes!

[seanimal]

 

But man, the hot ham and cheese's....so good.

 

EDIT: Bah, that's Hardee's, dumbass.

 

isn't hardees the same thing as carls jr

 

Mostly. Hardee's has a few menu items from before Carls Jr bought them though. LIke the hot ham and cheese. The actual Carls Jr restaurants don't have it.

 

lol how the hell do you know this?

Because when Carls Jr first bought Hardees, they turned them all into Carls Jr. The hot ham and cheese was gone, and the world was a little less bright for it.

 

Then at some point, in some areas, they made them a frankenstein's monster where they got the name Hardees, but had the Carls Jr star logo and decor. And mostly the same menu, but they added a few Hardees items, like the hot ham and cheese. And the world rejoiced.

 

Also I wasn't sure...I googled both menus.

[seanimal]

why are baseball players such countrified hillbillies?

 

*pulls off bifocals*

 

hillbillies listen to bluegrass, rednecks listen to country music

 

*puts bifocals back on*

Everyone stop horsefeathering saying "hot ham and cheese."

[Banedon]

Everyone stop [expletive] saying "hot ham and cheese."

 

[seanimal]

it seems like more effort to photoshop together a ham sandwich than to just take a picture of a ham sandwich, yet, here we are

[Sammy Sofa]

I have no problem with the sandwich; the name is just horrible. Like, "Cleveland steamer"-style horrible.

 

Also:

 

[Tracer Bullet]

That would make sense if a Cleveland steamer were a sex move where you drove your gf to Cleveland and had sex in a sauna. Why do you give a horsefeathers about the literal description of the sandwich?

 

Also those are delicious

[Tracer Bullet]

By those I mean hot ham and cheese

[Tracer Bullet]

Hot ham and cheese are delicious. I've never partaken of a steamer of any variety. But hot ham and cheese is the bees knees

[jersey cubs fan]

hot ham and cheese is good

It just randomly sounds weird and gross, DESPITE being the literal description of the sandwich. Relax.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I feel bad for anyone who had the hot ham and cheese ripped from them. none of the Hardee's around here went through a name change or a horror such as removing that sandwich from the menu

Hot

Ham

And

Cheese

 

Where's the weird and gross part? I think you're flying solo sofa

[Sammy Sofa]

Unless it's a hot dog, adding "hot" to a burger joint sandwich seems goofy and suspiciously redundant.

 

"Hey, want a hamburger?" "Yeah, thanks!"

 

"Hey, want...a HOT...hamburger?" "Uhhhhh...I guess?"

 

It's totally just a me-thing.

[Sammy Sofa]

Like, if someone came up to me and offered me an Arby's roast beef sandwich, I'd smile and shake their hand and enjoy the delicious sandwich. But if they offered me a "HOT roast beef sandwich," I'd probably punch them in the face and run away.

i think it sounds gross too, tbh

 

but i think it's usually implied that a sandwich with ham or whatever cold cut is cold so they specify that it's hot

Well, ok...so I've been somewhat inaccurate here.

 

At some point the name of it actually changed. It's now called the "Big Hot Ham and Cheese".

[Sammy Sofa]

Hahahahah! That's even worse! Joe Hardee is a freak, man.
