  1. I appreciate the positive takes and I know things can change from game to game, but getting shut out two games in a row can't help but feel pretty damn soul-crushing. It looks like the whole time is pressing because of it and this is the first game this postseason I'm really, really nervous about. Lackey being out there is NOT helping. I hope his dumb face proves me wrong.
  2. How goes that diet? Chugging along; down 70 pounds since it started. The Cubs basically have to go to the WS; I will be back in Chicago a week from Friday for 3 days if they do, and I will enjoy myself thoroughly during those 3 days before jumping back on the wagon. If they don't go and I don't have that excuse anymore, people may die.
  3. Sauteed chicken, broccoli and mushrooms and water. Wooooooooooo.
  4. Oh were definitely gonna talk more about chili than the Bears this week. Maybe all season. And it will be way more entertaining too. The Bears are the Skyline chili of football.
  5. Chili without beans is the kind of reject hobo dog food that a typical Bears fan slobbers down as their tears salt their meaty gruel.
  6. Chili without beans is basically just beef stew. It's a crime whenever someone tries to serve it to people expecting delicious chili. Chili is delicious with and without beans. The latter is not chili. Go eat your soup.
  7. I agree with everything, chili without beans is for the weak, just like football w/o touchdowns. Chili without beans is basically just beef stew. It's a crime whenever someone tries to serve it to people expecting delicious chili.
  8. Even all the way in the back and out of focus, Soler is still so much more outrageously handsome than everyone else.
  9. Eh, I'm with you on this, though I think it's mainly just frustration on my part at how relatively disappointing this team turned out to be dong-wise. Zobrist is obviously a very useful hitter to have, but the meatball in me wants a gigantic dong machine batting cleanup. I'd probably feel differently if Schwarber was playing and would be cool with it with another consistent dong-threat coming after Zobrist, but you either have streaky Russell, disappointing Soler and Heyward, or Contreras starting every 3rd game. Right now Baez feels like that threat, and I'd love to see him consistently hitting 4th or 5th.
  10. Didn't Jags fan turn out to have been in the Columbine shooting? I always thought he was at a college game. I mean, yeah, obviously, when you see it it's clear it's the Jags, but something about that dumb shade of blue screams "stupid college sports" when I pictured it in my head.
  11. I know the gif, but I couldn't have told you he was wearing a Jags t-shirt if you had a gun to my head. Also: drink all you want during a game; I was calling out the chumps crying about it the next day.
  12. wait, you're a jags fan? or was that some misguided projection Yeah, I didn't know what the heck he was talking about; I just figured he had some weird vendetta against Jags fans that he was randomly taking out on me.
  13. It's a sport run by garbage people and played by garbage people for garbage people. In a stunning upset, hockey has now overtaken it on my depth chart.
  14. Yeah, too bad I'm not a fan of a cool and awesome team like the Bears.
  15. The Bears are totally now and forever the NFC Browns. http://i.giphy.com/sI0vfkw04EV8I.gif
  16. Jesus, just watch a game for once without drinking, you animals.
  17. Now THIS is fun bad: http://deadspin.com/alshon-jeffery-suggests-revolutionary-new-strategy-we-1787881440 [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet]
  18. DEATH TO FOOTBALL. DEATH TO BEARS (except baby ones).
  19. Exactly. I'm not opposed to putting Contreras or Soler into LF, moving Zobrist to 2B and Baez to SS to try and spark the offense, but for a team who relies so much on their defense, having some combination of Contreras, Soler and Zobrist manning the corners in LA seems a bit too dicey.
  20. Why do you say such horrifying things when I'm about to eat my lunch. The 5th best hitter on the best offense in baseball is objectively valuable. It was a (kinda) joke about how you'd think/hope there were more than 4 hitters on the team better than a fragile defensive monstrosity that you're lucky to see for half of the season.
