I've noticed him doing the whole "point up at God thing" a lot more lately when he gets on base....so when he was pointing at the base before, was he actually hailing Satan? Was that Ben Zobrist's brief window of being cool?

If you you gaze into the creepy weird abyss, the creepy weird abyss gazes back.

What's it like to hear your song when Ben goes up to the plate?

 

I think it's hilarious. ... I have told him every single season that: "Babe, you really don't have to choose my song. It would probably be way cooler for you to choose Jack White or other artists." But he's like, "No, I like your music the best." So I always put it in his hands. It's not a marketing ploy on my end, he's got his deal and I've got mine.

 

How different is life in Chicago compared to the other places you guys have lived?

 

Not incredibly different from the places we've been because we've been in Florida for a majority of our career and Kansas City is obviously a very friendly environment as well.

 

These people are dangerous lunatics.

Looks like they used Baseball-Reference's WAR which has him at 2.2

Damn he's 35? Wonder what time he eats dinner.

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm eating a big salad for dinner RIGHT NOW.

Creepy weirdo did an interview on NPR today

 

made my morning drive. of course, the interview starts with "Its 19 minutes after 9 o'clock" which means I was running very late.

This may be the tipping point:

I'm on board with this Zobrist fella. I don't care what his beliefs are if he wants to be awesome at baseball.

[Sammy Sofa]

His tracksuit joy won me over; he's now a righteous dude.

[Banedon]

His walk reminds me of that Leo meme...

Basically I think he's the Cubs' version of this guy, and every team could use one of them:
