IT WAS A HOT DOG. -
Sadly, I basically had this argument with my brain when I started going to the gym every other day and trying to crunch the fitness/nutrition numbers.

I mean, when the Cubs were a perennial 85 loss team, every couple inning stretch of suckiness threatened to set me off. But I literally cannot get the least bit worked up for a couple inning stretches of suckiness now, because of context. Its fine to get upset and say that things suck or that AB blew or Joe Maddon's glasses are out of style now or whatever. But when you extrapolate your 2 inning anger to pretending the offense is somehow "a joke" over the course of the season, then you've gone off the rails and deep breaths need to be taken. The Cubs are, in fact, awesome. Our rational minds know this. I think a lot of us have programmed ourselves not to believe our rational minds when it says the Cubs are good, because our rational minds knew our meatball minds were tilting the scales in favor of crappy Cub teams for a long, long time. It is...crazy idea, I know...almost like a bunch of fans following sports. There's a big ol' middle ground between, "I don't even own an emotion about my favorite sports squadron," and, "THIS TERRIBLE GAME MEANS THE CUBS ARE GOING BACK INTO THE CELLAR FOR YEARS TO COME."

Very cute, Pedantic Pete; when people encounter something sucky, it's not unusual for them to complain about it even if it's something that's sucky only for a limited period of time. The only weird thing is pretending to have to explain this concept to jersey cubs fan.
-
"Oh god, it horsefeathering sucks how sick I am right now." "Quit complaining, you weirdo."
-
This is glorious.

Yeah, and it's that Baez is an awesome baseball freak and that Almora is likely Just Some Dude, so get outta here with that stuff.
-
Yeah it would be nice to win these two series and go 4-2 going in to the break, though I'd be fine going 3-3 (just basically don't go like 1-5). Hopefully, somehow, the VBs will finally lose but I'm not holding my breath in the Marlins series with them. The Pirates series this weekend is a 5 game series with a DH so hopefully they only win 2 of those games, somehow. It's tremendously annoying that the Cubs can't handle the dumb VB themselves for a while.
-
I just think it's a bit odd to want to call out other Cubs fans after a win or a win streak. Like, "ha-ha! The team you're a fan of is DOING BETTER AND WINNING LOTS OF GAMES. Suck it, loser!"
-
No excuse to not feast on a pair of crappy WC teams to at least keep pace with the VB.
-
Hahahaha! Your gas bill must be unusually high in the summer.
-
Because you typically show up after the game or at the end to start lecturing people for being annoyed with a horsefeathers game. And then, weirdly, you start acting like those people are supposed to be bummed out or embarassed when the Cubs win. People are going to complain when things go poorly, even if that is just for a few innings; you don't have to act like it's going to cripple Bryant because he can't hear enough people clapping for him to come back to life.
-
My dude, you've been crying all year about a team that is on pace to win 95 games and has won the division the last two years, appeared in the last three NLCS, and won you the damn World Series. You whine nonstop, and you've barely posted while they've been doing well. It's the people enjoying the Cubs' best run in franchise history that are weird, though. Wait, you think he's not enjoying the Cubs when they do well? And HE'S the weirdo? Some people prefer to use the game threads to vent when the Cubs are sucking. Y'know, the flipside of how you all but vanish when they have a crappy game.
-
Says the guy grousing about Rizzo in this very game thread. It's not like people are griping about a perfect baseball team; shockingly, even good teams can have players or situations that people inexplicably wish were better! But sure, keep acting like it's just you vs. a tide of r_macks.
-
No you weren't. Somewhat, and definitely.
-
Why is he trying to enter through the bar though? The player entrance is maybe fifty feet away and he's played around a hundred games at Wrigley Field. He should know this. That's just the weird, pretty awesome persona Votto has embraced in the last few years. I think being trapped on the Reds has driven him slowly insane.

Gigantic Willy Style - The Willson Contreras Thread

Not enough dong. -
It's crazy the offense has been so good with him being ass and Bryant being just okay/hurt for a good month+ "Crazy" is definitely one way to describe it.

Rizzo horsefeathering sucks.
-
Should be 5 to horsefeathering 2 right now.

horsefeathers this horsefeathers.

Walking Hamilton should merit a fine.
