Go CUBS !!

 

 

 

 

Derwood seems to think he's stuck in the cargo hold...... but the reality is he's orbiting somewhere out near the planet Oonfang. Either way, that's a pretty good place for him. So the new lineup looks like this:

 

at bat: bukie (0-0) - Sat 23 Apr vs. Cincinnati

 

on deck: Sammy Sofa (0-0)

 

in the hold: ctcf (0-0)

We used to get until noon of game day to get the next thread up

[Sammy Sofa]

CLEARLY THESE ARE EXCEPTIONAL TIMES, YOU GOON.

[Derwood]

I FELL ASLEEP BECAUSE I AM AN OLD MAN. I THOUGHT FRED WOULD UNDERSTAND

[Sammy Sofa]

DENIED.

 

Send him to the back of the line.

[Derwood]

In protest, I may be forced to flood this thread with images of Skyline Chili

[ScrubMD]

Derwood misses his start and we get a 16-0 no-hitter. It would be very irresponsible to not ban him.

Counterpoint: Banning me may force me to place a curse upon this team that will last 1000 years.

[Brian]

they're letting the mascot pitch?

Ugh...you monster.

 

Also, it'd be cool to see the offense keep it going tonight for Lester. They were no-shows quite often last year in his starts.

Yeah, the ban is the only logical choice here.

Sorry Derwood, Fred starts until we lose again. So, hopefully August.

And the chili itself is an abomination. It's an abominable component of a greater abomination. It's an affront to humanity.

you chose not to start the thread, two days in a row.

Getting game threads started this season is too important of a task to give to someone who is reckless enough to fall asleep on a whim.
