Sexy.

I could see a team signing Marshall to be their closer, but they're not going to pay him like a top shelf closer. Just like they wouldn't give us closer value in a trade either. Right, that's why I said "decent money." I could definitely see teams lining up to sign him if the Cubs let him go, but he's not gonna get closer money. -
Marshall isn't one of those guys. Neither is Baker. Neither is Barney. So who else has he commented on?

There's magic in the ivy and the old scoreboard The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score In a world full of greed, I could never want more Than someday we'll go all the way Granted, it doesn't flow perfectly, but the next line finishes the sentence. How is that a sentence? Yeah, that makes it even more nonsensical. If he said "than to someday go all the way," OK, but "in a world full of greed, I could never want more than someday we'll go all the way" is a "sentence" that even makes hccf cry foul.

So you don't think any team would want him to be their closer if he continues his current production through next season? Probably not. Most teams don't sink decent money into a reliever that isn't already tagged as a closer to be their new closer.
-
I mean, I get that he's saying that he's being "greedy" in that he wants the scoreboard to be filled with Cubs hits and runs, but man...that's a tortuous lyric.

Marshall is getting over $3 million this year because his 2-year deal is backloaded, so it's not like he's making over $6 million over the course of it; the total is about $4.3 million. Thornton got the money he got because of his previous 3 seasons with the Sox (he was better than Marshall) and because he was signed with the intention of making him the closer.
-
Urge to crap...rising.
-
If the Cubs can't win here I just may crap my pants.

Yeah Ernie Banks said, "Oh let's play two." Or did he mean 200 years? NO, HE DIDN'T YOU DUMB [expletive].

How often do you see non-closers netting decent returns? How do you know he's highly regarded around the league? Why do you think he's going to be able to double or even triple his annual salary as a soft-tossing non-closer?
-
THE SONG ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE WHETHER THEY ARE GOOD OR BAD. Christ. It's not like you're actually buying peanuts and Crackerjacks at every game, too.

See? Even the soccer guy gets it.

Shark's arguably better than Wood this season.

i said its "a bit" ridiculous. but again much more so because the song content is so sappy. Of course a song that's explicitly pro-Cubs is going to be "sappy." You want something fun and cheesy that's easy for people to sing along to, like "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." And there's nothing embarrassing about being happy and celebrating after a win. I thought it was ridiculous enough when bitter people would gripe about other teams celebrating walk-off wins...now you've got miserable Cubs fans grousing about other fans being happy and having a good time after a victory.
-
Mmmmm, yeah.
-
Garza is bringing the sexy.
-
You yourself said it's embarrassing that people sing and dance after a victory when the team is 20 games under. Just a bit up the screen there. Scroll back up if you don't believe me. I can quote it for you if you want. And "Jump" is bad and annoying, too. It's even worse since it has nothing to do with the Cubs and outside of the moronically simple chorus it's hard as hell to sing along with.
-
Remember, when people try to make "serious" sports music you end up with Eddie Vedder's "Go All the Way" monstrosity. Maybe that [expletive] flies down at your made-up Wri-guh-lee Field, Eddie, but not in the real world.
-
YOU HEARD ME. Really, they're just stupid. But the people singing and chanting are having a great time, so who cares? Let everyone have their fun.
-
Of course it's a bad song. Sports song are terrible (and before the soccer fans get here, yes, that includes your dumb chants). "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" is a stupid song. It's not like the Cubs are a weird team for having a bad song played at the end of the game. And really, the irony of preferring "Jump" is pretty hilarious. What's less embarrassing about that? The ridiculously dated synth riffs? Diamond Dave's yowling scatting? Man, if only they did something REALLY cool, like playing "Sweet Caroline!" I drives me nuts how badass all the teams that play that during a game look! And Christ, NOTHING is worse than complaining about people being happy over a win when the team is 20 games under. If anything, isn't that when you're looking for something to enjoy the most? Why get down on people for having two [expletive] minutes of fun because the [expletive] team won a game? Are you really THAT self-conscious about your fandom? Hey, you know what's more embarrassing than fans enjoying a win when a team is 20 games under? THE [expletive] TEAM BEING 20 GAMES UNDER.
