    Ahhhhh, yes. [expletive] you, Theriot.

    Did the Pirates tweak their black jerseys for this year? I'm liking how they look.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Yeesh. That is quite the ghoul in the throwback Pirates cap being shown while they listed the Bucco's lineup.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    It's up to the Cubs.

    Just buy an Old Style beer huggy. No one will know the difference. Well, I have to use the Cubs beer huggy/cozy/whatever that he gave me. It's quite the conundrum.

    Oh God, I'm drinking a bottle of Old Style for my old man since he couldn't make it into town for the game and that's kind of his thing on opening day...and it's so, so bad. COME ON, DAD. Pick a better beer because I'm going to have to do this for the rest of my life.

    I know "stitched together by tornado survivors" shouldn't be hilarious, but come on. That sounds like something from a Mr. Show sketch.

    I'm sorry, Darwin Barney being announced in the starting lineup is just bonkers.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Castro gets the Star Wars theme.

    Surprisingly loud ovation for Marshall.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Wood getting a huge standing ovation.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    OH GOD, THEY LOVE COLVIN SO.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Heck yes.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

    There's at least one on here. Right here. Cubs, Pistons, Vikings. WHAT ARE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU.

    Yeah and most of these fans seem to like every other Chicago team too, just not the Bears. What, Ditka sh@t on someone's meatloaf? I don't get it. I have a unique set of teams myself (Cubs, Bears, Magic, Lightning), but it's not as if I have an aberration for one sport where I choose to root for the #1 rival to the city of teams I root for otherwise. I don't have a genuine problem with it, it's just odd. Damn right. I have a friend who is somehow a Red Sox fan and a Knicks fan. I want him to be studied by science.

    He's not a sorcerer. Barney can get regular starts and coaching in the minors if anyone thinks he has a real chance of not being horrible with the bat (SPOILER ALERT: he doesn't). Look, I'm no big fan of the DeWitt/Baker option, but it's not the end of the world since we're talking about the 8th hitter and it'll likely be the area the Cubs address come the deadline if they're in it. I'm all for making room for young players who have a good chance of being a big part of this team's future...but Barney isn't one of those guys.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    The only positive I see to starting Barney is that he's a plus defender (from everything I've heard). At the same time, there is no plus part of DeWitt's game. He's better offensively overall than Barney, but isn't particularly good either. Thus, since you're going with a young guy anyway, the reasoning would be to go with the guy that already features a plus skill and hope the other side comes around enough. Barney, it sounds like, is Theriot with much better defense and a slightly worse bat. That said, I'd prefer to go with DeWitt. Both are young but DeWitt has shown more offensive potential. With Aramis, Starlin and Pena around the infield, we have good to very good defense at 3 of 4 positions and can afford to put up with poor 2B defense with the hopes that DeWitt's bat comes around. Exactly.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Not sure why you'd want to give Barney a shot if you're such a non-fan of DeWitt and Hill considering that both are/were better than him.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Now when I meet a Cubs/Pistons fan I won't even be surprised.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Hey, 50 more PA is 50 more PA.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, no. no there are a ton that think he's going to win the mvp (and he will) but these are not the same things There's a ton who think it is. I don't know why we're going to pretend like the average fan isn't going to be That Guy. It's the same whether it's baseball or basketball.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Shoulda brought up VCU.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Packers infecting the Bulls thread; now the game threads. THERE NEEDS TO BE A LAW.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, no.
