    Kinda great how the NL Central has maybe become the saltiest division in baseball. Buncha shitty teams just constantly taking out their frustrations on each other.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, what the horsefeathers is with this weird tangent in this thread. Rose has only upped his creep/weirdo game since he left Chicago. Yeah, great, he's managed to become a useful player again, but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that.

    I get it, but I have also never been convinced of Happ being anything more than a fourth outfielder. Happ is so much more than a 4th outfielder. He's a podcaster a coffee entrepreneur and art dealer too The Talented Mr. Happ

    Does anyone say "M's" or "O's"? I've heard "Os" used regularly. Yeah, I hear that more than the actual team name around here.

    Oh, right. Baseball used to be good.

    And the Brewers being in 4th place last year was them being 5 games back after only 60 games. There's not some kind of stupid timey-wimey, disease malaise, nonsense reason for the numbers last year like you keep pretending; it was basically just like the season got chopped of after only 60 games. Possibly making up 5 games with 102 games to go is actually A Thing. The Cubs, by contrast, are in and out of 4th place on a daily basis, 8-9 games back after 95 horsefeathering games. Trying to act like these are the same situation "BECAUSE COVID!!!!!!" is horsefeathering stupid.

    You keep talking about COVID like it's somehow made all baseball data from 2020 and this season totally nebulous.

    OK? It's the same thing; I wasn't putting that out there like "clickbait" is some kinda gotcha or insult; I just think it's a largely meaningless criticism since, of course, literally every media outlet is trying to get people to read/watch/listen to/etc. their content. Right, we agree; this is a story simply because it's about famous people AND the details are so horsefeathering weird/pathetic. IMO, there's no "maybe" about Ross; if there was weird horsefeathers behind his divorce, we definitely would have heard about it, too.

    I have no idea if it applies to her, but these days "Instagram famous" can legit mean someone is absurdly (terrifyingly?) famous within that medium with insane numbers. See also: YouTube/Twitch/Twitter/etc. famous. Someday someone much smarter than me will come up with some kind of insightful breakdown of how much fame has mutated so quickly into a very different thing thanks to social media. Like, someone can have tens of millions of followers or hundreds of millions of views, and yet seemingly most people on the street will have no clue who they are. "content creators" Right? The whole "content" thing cracks me up. It's like THIS close to just saying, "I dunno; here's some more horsefeathers for you to consume."

    Some of what I do involves promoting Christian concerts. I’ve asked some of those people about it as a Cubs fan and they know nothing of her. She is non-existent in those circles. She is only Instagram famous. I have no idea if it applies to her, but these days "Instagram famous" can legit mean someone is absurdly (terrifyingly?) famous within that medium with insane numbers.

    Because it's a ridiculous story, and ridiculous celebrity gossip has been a thing forever. "Clickbait" would be, "You'll Never Believe the Insane Details of David Ross' Divorce!!!!" and then the actual blog or article or whatever pulls a bait and switch and it's just about the boring David Ross divorce we never really heard about because it was so boring and involved David Ross, who is history's most boring monster. My horsefeathering apologies for my horsefeathering incorrect use of the horsefeathering term" click bait" JFC...
  17. Sammy Sofa
    And the reason why anyone knows any of the details is because of... You're right... it is an awesomely juicy gossip story. That's why the divorce updates keep coming. I know David Ross is divorced. But I had to look it up; it was just last year. If it was reported in the media, it probably garnered a couple paragraphs, tops. It's not a reach at all to think Ben's divorce proceedings are "click bait" given some of the information that's come out already.

    It's an awesomely juicy gossip story about two ridiculous public figures. Trying to frame it like "the press" are somehow reaching for clicks seems like a bit of a stretch.

    Also making him go to counseling with the man you are cheating with. That's some next level horsefeathers. That part is confusing; the articles I read make it sound like they definitely went went to counseling after she told him she was having an affair...but did she not tell him who with? They're vague on that part. Zobrist seems like a dope and a half, so who the horsefeathers knows. Also: "Pastor Yawn" still will never not be horsefeathering hilarious.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    What the horsefeathers was that.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Turns out I was WAY too generous. 538 has them with a 4% chance of winning the division. Fangraphs with the 1.4(!!!!!!!)% chance. Keep horsefeathering that chicken, dude.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    The VBs simply have to maintain first for 68 games/2.5 months with a still crap offense and alot of the meat on their pitching staff entering uncharted territory. What could go wrong?! I love how you mention their offense sucks as if ours is bounds better. We're a 91 and they're a 90. Since June began we are dead last at 79 and they are 12th at 105. Its done dude. Just drop the charade. And he's acting like it's somehow just a matter of the Cubs outpacing/lasting the Brewers, as opposed to the Brewers AND the two other teams technically ahead of the Cubs right now.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    This dude ranting like the Cubs have better than maybe a, what, 7% chance of winning the division?
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Who cares if a trash Cubs team can catch up to a trash Brewers team. That's arguably/pretty much definitely the worst outcome.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    You're definitely rolling.
