  1. His utter lack of effort led directly to 5 Boston points at key junctures of the game. It was annoying the hell out of me. You've got 4+ months to rest after this series, for God's sake.
  2. Hoiberg is out of his mind. This article pretty well sums it up. Last night's lineups made no damn sense.
  3. Terrific. Audio is fine but video isn't loading on the phone app and is choppy as all hell on my work Mac
  4. Is MLB.TV a disaster for everyone tonight or just me?
  5. No wonder we lost. Only time in my GDT run that I neglected to transfer the game time to Central time.
  6. I am completely befuddled as to the handling of Valentine and to a lesser extent Grant. Why start Grant if you're just going to staple him to the bench if he sucks for the first few minutes (then allow MCW to murder the team for a far longer stretch)? Why not play Valentine at all? Is he that much worse than Joffrey FrenchnameIcan'tspell?
  7. Bronson Arroyo, Cincinnati? Seriously? Bronson Arroyo? That's who you want to push out in an attempt to stem the overwhelming tide of dongs that now envelops your entire city? The brutalization continues. Cincinnati will be a smoldering shell of disgusting failure after their humiliation is completed in this game. Not even the specter of possible runs scored against tooth-faced John Lackey can stop the parade of destruction that our dongsmen have begun. Your cameo in first place was just that, a brief moment of glory for an irrelevant horsefly before it crashes headlong into the windshield of oblivion. Look upon your conquerors, Cincinnati, and despair. Unleash more dongs.
  8. Was that a bride? It looked like a prom.
  9. It's become clear that our mighty champions are not merely content with destroying foes this year. Their hearts must be ripped out. They must have the audacity to believe they have triumphed, only to be left in shock as our dongsmen reveal to them the foolishness of their belief. This cruel play will once again play out in this game. Again the Reds are tossing out a human sacrifice. Only time will tell if the Cubs will put him out of his misery early or if they will allow him, too, to foolishly believe he has solved the unsolvable. Unleash more dongs.
  10. They are great. And Ross is actually really funny. He's been perfect as the hapless clod in these and the All-Star voting commercials last year. The fax machine All-Star commercial was utter gold.
  11. That was my exact thought. It sucks, but hopefully Jimmy can run some point and Grant/MCW can be a non-disaster for a few minutes at a time.
  12. He means 2007. We clinched at Cincy that year. I was at the game, and Cubs fans had completely taken over the park. It's no surprise pantywaist Thom got all pissy about it.
  13. I so badly want to make a "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" crack here that I'm going to do it even though I can't think of a clever way to word one.
  14. To probably no one's surprise (my inner self is in my 50s), I don't either. Not that this one thing is a valid point in favor of this position, but probably my favorite "meaningless in the big picture but charming" Cubs thing was when nobody Ryan O'Malley randomly had to pitch a game because we'd played 16 innings in Houston the night before, and he pitched 8 innings of brilliant baseball in what he knew would likely be his only MLB appearance. That's something that only happened because we don't do ties.
  15. The beast is here to devour all in its path. Cincinnati is as Tokyo to our dongsmen's Godzilla. Some person named Tim Adleman has been chosen for a human sacrifice by the Reds, who by the grace of their merciful gods have been allowed to hold first place for the time being. That changes this weekend after the mighty champions destroy these foolish pretenders and leave nothing but a smoking, festering hole of pusillanimous ruin behind. Unleash more dongs.
  16. Halfway to my dong predictions being reality. Let's hope Bryant's comes with a couple on base.
  17. This definitely strikes me as a more useful move.
  18. Eh, none of the 3 top OKC players were in their prime yet when they made the Finals. Last year's team very well could have won the title if they hadn't gacked up Game 6.
  19. Manfred's initiatives to speed up the game continue with this decision that's virtually guaranteed to add more time than he just saved with his intentional-walk change. Nah...It'll take like 5 secs for them to say "there wasn't conclusive evidence that such and such occurred". The thing is, if that's all they're going to do, I don't really see the point. Signaling that the play stands already sends that message.
  20. Curry and LeBron have been proven, Durant and Kawhi probably could (maybe Kawhi already has, you could never tell who the single best player was on those Spurs teams from 13-14). Maybe Harden. Wade and Dirk were at one point but obviously aren't now - yeah, probably just those first 5
  21. https://apnews.com/cd85ff8330c7417d9b58db988f5b6bb3/When-fans-see-red,-MLB-men-in-blue-may-soon-explain-replays Manfred's initiatives to speed up the game continue with this decision that's virtually guaranteed to add more time than he just saved with his intentional-walk change.
  22. I don't think even most Celtics fans would disagree with that take - at least not the second part.
  23. What you saw tonight was the awakening of a beast that had been in hibernation. Now the hour of Milwaukee's discontent is upon them. Brutal evisceration is all they have to look forward to as the resurgent Cubs offense continues their journey back to ultimate power. Tommy Milone, someone I did not know was still being paid to pitch in baseball games, likely senses his impending doom at the hands of Kris Bryant and Albert Almora, both of whom are readying their dongs for battle. But he is either too proud or too foolish to make the life-preserving decision to run away. Unleash more dongs.
