    A bunch of them are all done up inside on all levels for parties. They'd still find plenty of suckers.

    I think it's pretty clear that the Cubs keeping this an issue is playing a part of keeping fans on the "no Sammy" side. They are playing up to the meatballs and thus feeding them more red meat, and making things worse. Talking about Sammy needing to do stuff to get back into the good graces of Ricketts & Co is just ridiculous and not the least bit helpful. They aren't handling this flawlessly, but it is a bit of a no-win situation. The media is going to ask, the contingent who want Sammy around will make some noise too, and "we want our nice PR events not to be marred by morons who will boo Sammy" is a hard sentiment to sanitize. When looking at any kind of promotional material since the Ricketts took over, be it retrospectives or giveaways or events or acknowledging former players and the like, the Cubs have actively minimized Sammy as much as possible short of just completely ignoring him. They could definitely be doing a LOT more, especially with all of the anniversary stuff, in terms of making him a part of the organization's history again even without inviting him or anything like that. Just remind people how awesome he was.

    OH MY GOD, WHO CARES ABOUT A BIT OF THE [expletive] BRICKS AND IVY. I hate this stupid [expletive] stadium and this stupid [expletive] city.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Miami, because that's amazingly in favor of the Cubs.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    The [expletive] is wrong with you.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Now even the Astros have won 4 games in a row.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, but imagine when we're actually motivated to care even half as much as this bozo does.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    SMOKE WEED EVERYDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

    He's classy, d'uh.

    Yeah, I doubt it's anything traumatic; it's just one of this things that probably annoys him, but because everyone gets a kick out of it it's turned into a huge, hilarious, wonderful thing. Just amplifying a mild annoyance times a billion for the world's amusement.

    Bonifacio's line since May 1 is .205/.233/.289. Ask him if those numbers are also deceptive. He said all that matters in the end is what their totals are.

    I like the authoritative fist bump with the 3B coach.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    That's like some nerd saying he loves to do math problems. GET HIM, BOYS.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Nobody's actually excited over a bullpen guy; that's just David being cute.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, that's right...he loves Bonifacio, but can't stand Castro's "deceptive" numbers.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Speaking of Bonifacio, I just got a text from a friend that wants to trade Castro ASAP so they can plug in Bonifacio or Baez at SS and that today was more "proof" that Castro "still sucks." I am angered. What about today was proof that Castro sucks? Just that he want O-fer. I asked what the home run last night meant and he said it was a fluke. I pointed out how hard he was still driving the ball and mostly hitting into bad luck and he said that "the numbers are deceptive."

    Most of my non Cubs fan friends are super cool when it comes to baseball. I can count on one hand the number of Cubs fan friends that don't make me want to push them on to a landmine.

    Also: petition to change my user name or user status to "Sammy Sofa."
  23. Sammy Sofa
    That's Lost, right? Fun fact: I've never watched an episode.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    No way; think of all the spare change he has laying around. That should be incentive enough for Ricketts to bring him back.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    But he probably comes with one of those wooden support things that lets two sumo wrestlers sit on him at the same time.
