john lackey sucks and we were always right to hate him

[Tracer Bullet]

maybe if you tie the papers to a top shelf bottle of vodka though, you're cool. i don't know. gonna need someone to break down the chemistry on that one for me.

[Tracer Bullet]

sorry about the pain and misery but you're a piece of horsefeathers that no one could love, so i'm out. but at least you'll have a nice mellow buzz while you're puking after chemo

[Chocolate Milk]

Chocolate Milk: [to John Lackey] I don't know what it is about your face,

 

[holds up fist]

 

Chocolate Milk: but I just wanna deliver one of these right in your suck hole.

[Agony and Ivy]

I feel like we were all in on Lackey being a scumbag about the cancer thing even if that wasn't the whole story, what happened? It seems a lot of people are almost surprised this story actually exists. Did you think it was made up just because he was a Cardinal?

[Cubbie Swagger]

If Lackey shits the bed this year, Schwarber gets hurt, and a couple of our other young hitters disappoint...

 

Ugh.

 

Now I need to try to think happy thoughts.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If Lackey [expletive] the bed this year, Schwarber gets hurt, and a couple of our other young hitters disappoint...

 

Ugh.

 

Now I need to try to think happy thoughts.

 

In that scenario, they win the division by 7 games instead of 12.

Then I would call it divine intervention.

Hate is not strong enough.

Fun fact: John Lackey has allowed 262 home runs in his career, tied for 93 all-time.

Breast cancer has about as good of a survival rate as you could reasonably hope for. Having a positive attitude is an important part of any battle with cancer. So the level of douche baggery on his part depends on how his wife felt about the divorce. If this was going to devastate her then yes, it makes him an awful human being. Maybe she is glad to get rid of him. I'm not sure what good he is to her in her fight against cancer if he's there because he feels he has to be.

I like that he's kind of a dick. Hopefully he pitches well.

[Tim]

grrrr

[Omar]

with Lackey and La Stella having decent games, I don't know which Cub to currently hate.

David Ross off to a pretty decent start as well. The hate bucket is pretty empty right now.

 

Though Lackey still has a 5.68 ERA. So, it's him until he proves he's not a Cardinals spy.

[CubinNY]

He's only mildly annoying right now.

[badger]

Have you already forgotten he killed schwarbs, guys???????

[UMFan83]

Have you already forgotten he killed schwarbs, guys???????

 

I know. In the absence of pretty much no one else sucking (even Ross is swinging the bat well) he is the defacto hated Cub until further notice.

[David]

i will continue to hate rat boy, thank you

[jersey cubs fan]

i will continue to hate rat boy, thank you

he's playing tonight

[SRQCub]

sorry about the pain and misery but you're a piece of [expletive] that no one could love, so i'm out. but at least you'll have a nice mellow buzz while you're puking after chemo

 

IF he's such a horrible douche, why in the horsefeathers would you want him around while you're puking after chemo? Get rid of the horsefeathers the guy causes and move on without his negativity.

 

Just saying, if he's such a bad guy, why would she want him to stick around while she fights the worst circumstance in her life?
