Let us be the Phillies' achilles heel, with Quintana who will hopefully deal, and Javy with his sex appeal to Schwarber's dongs that make us squeal and Heyward's ways refined, genteel, and of course yesterday's hero, Tommy LaStella

[Old Style]

If only LaStella had a nickname that would have fit with your rhyming scheme.

Confusingly, 538 thinks the Cubs have the starting pitching advantage in this one.

I believe pizzetta is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the civil war era

It's the name that Pizza Hut's marketing decided to give the personal pan pizza.

Fun Fact: the Pizza Hut in my hometown shut down for repeated health code violations. Also, probably shut down due to poor sales.

 

I hope Pizza Hut is the next corporate brand to go the way of Radioshack.

[SouthSideRyan]

Pizza Hut is my favorite of the garbage pizzas

Presumably you're not going to be encouraging us to check the Pizza League forum about this:

I'm glad to now know there is a pizzatoday.com.

I wonder if ryan knew another pizza war would ensue

Ugh, I wish I didn't click on that. Why do so many people enjoy that garbage?

 

Totally forgot about Little Caesars. This is the worst pizza chain and they know it.

[David]

but they have crazy bread so they're ok

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Pizza Hut is by far the worst. They're the Baltimore Orioles of pizza.

[Brian707]

No

 

[Brian707]

Of the big 4 shitty chain pizza places: Pizza Hut>Dominos>Little Caesars>Papa Bigot

 

By no means is Pizza Hut even edible, its just the least crappy out of the 4.

 

Also the Cubs are in Philadelphia, I guess Dominos currently has a Philly cheese steak pizza?

Surprised they didnt DL Heyward and call KB up today to get his bat in the lineup an extra game. Maybe they want him to have 1 more day of rest after his rehab assignment before the stretch run.

 

Anyways, lineup:

 

[David]

dominos is ok

 

the rest are inedible

[bcl412]

SuperCubs vs lesser Good teams. I got SuperCubs

[Ding Dong Johnson]

[jersey cubs fan]

If you're here, and I'm here, isn't it our time?

[Cubswin11]

With Heyward hurt I get playing Almora but horsefeathers Joe, stop hitting anything but 7/8/9 vs RHP

[Schwarber Fan]

I know you’ve all been waiting...

 

Looks like we might get our night off tonight.

[Banedon]

[itisallpartoftheplan]

So if we play tonight Heyward could get DL’d for an extra arm. (A pitcher, not a third arm for him) Don’t get why they wouldn’t just have it be Bryant.

Probably not, given the weather this weekend and how late in the season it is. Looks like there might be a good shot at a 1-2 hour delay window and then they can get it in.
