5/13 - Cubs (Lester) at Cardinals (Martinez) 3:05 ABC7 & FS1

[David]

apparently still won't have bryant today. that must be some hangover.

 

butler did good yesterday. now lester do good. go cubs.

[Jaxbro]

Maddon going for career win #1000. Get it.

[UMFan83]

I'm guessing KB had a few too many O'Doul's the other night

 

Either that or the Cubs are like "haha how cute you think you have a shot at the division, we will beat you without the NL MVP"

[David]

weird thing is kb sounded completely fine and normal on his radio spot with bernstein and goff yesterday

 

someone obviously poisoned him in that cesspool of a city

Doesn't even need to have been intentional. Could have just drank the tap water or worse yet, ordered toasted ravioli.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

he probably tried the pizza

[David]

honestly i like "toasted" (fried) ravioli so?

 

but yeah the rest of that st louis stuff is vomit

Let's sweep these assholes.

thin crust >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> deep dish

between cheese curds and brats, milwaukee owns the non chicago nl central in this dept

 

italian beef wins

I'll accept Italian beef as Chicago's submission. I prefer thin crust over deep dish as well but I still enjoy a quality slice of deep dish

[Derwood]

Primanti Brothers is the most overrated sandwich in history. Tons of toppings and zero flavor

[philosophizer75]

I currently work at a place that makes chicago dogs and italian beefs in Maryland. Beefs should win forever.

 

Also, I went to school at the University of Pittsburgh and have to agree, Primanti Bros kinda sucks. It's just really peppery coleslaw and fries on a plain ass sandwich.

Toasted ravioli are just pizza rolls that take way too damn long to make. Very enjoyable to eat, but hilariously stupid to prop up as an example of a city's "cuisine." It would be like someone acting like chicken nuggets are a local delicacy.

i had had them many times before i found out (on nsb) that it's a st louis thing

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Yeah, I like toasted ravioli, but Sosa's point is spot on. They are basically dive bar food here in Central Illinois -- on par with mini tacos and mozzarella sticks -- and we're not exactly known for our cuisine. For a city to be known for that is a sad, sad thing.

[Brian707]

Pizza puffs I believe are local to Chicago. I don't see Chicago prop those up like St Louis does toasted ravioli. I think that's why people laugh when that horsefeathers town does that.

Man, we're having a lot of minor issues at the same time.

 

Heyward is due to come off the DL on Tuesday I think, I hope his sprained finger is healed.

Not surprised about the rash of dings. We were so, so lucky last year (besides 1 major injury), some reversal of fortune was to be expected.

 

As long as the arms stay healthy we can weather the storm. Plus we get to watch Candy and Happ in the big league lineup. That's gonna be fun.

We did lose Fowler for almost a month with injury, Strop for a month, Rondon for a few weeks and lackey missed a few starts on the DL but yeah relatively speaking we were very fortunate injury wise

[Aaron_Kennelly]

That's still a pretty exciting lineup for "PANIC! Everyone is sick and hurt!"
