A "meatball" was coined by sulley to describe a type of fan (ie - most fans) who have terrible opinions. They tend to love things like grit and guys who run out grounders and "play the game the right way." They get boners over the unwritten rules, hate showboating and fun and are generally, well, meatballish. Their idea of good players tend to be annoying little white guys like Theriot or Eckstein, while non-white players who dare to show any emotion are just lazy, selfish attention hogs who only care about padding their stats. Think of how the average Cubs fans rails about Sammy despite how amazing he was. THAT's a meatball. A meatball might even love Contreras now because he's the new hotness, but if he keeps up his awesome little displays of confidence and coolness, as soon as he struggles they will LOATHE him and be calling up Barry Rozner to hurl spittle about how he's the new Aramis.

What a savage. I love this guy. Contreras is going to bring out the worst in me, I assure you. Clearly you are confused by what a meatball is.
-
Sounds like something a Cardinals fan would say with Jake lurking... -
What does it mean?
-
Which is weird, because he's so short. Maybe try asking Thedge instead.
-
I loved how amped up he was after driving in that RBI last night. I hope he ends up driving the meatballs insane.

Every time I see your sig I'm kinda becoming worried it's slowly, sneakily destroying the team. I'm begging you, please don't add Almora and Willson to it. Statistically, it's a kiss of death (or at least a kiss of disappointment).
-
Good. In other news: Lackey is a horse's ass with a horse's face.
-
Alas, I'm like 6'4 and change and they just end up being too short. Rock it with pride: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/epicrapbattlesofhistory/images/0/05/Bill_S._Preston_Based_On.png/revision/latest?cb=20150824014956

Good God, yes. you know that if you had your druthers half the guys who donged yesterday wouldn't even be here You know it, baby. http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/956/636/78c.gif

Good God, yes.

"It" being HIS stupid face?

I was cracking up at how much he was enjoying all the attention when he was coming up for his AB. He was digging the hell out of that Pharoahe Monch. Seemed like the Pirates were trying to ice him a little bit. Obviously, the pitcher had no book on him to speak of, so the mound visit made sense. But then after the mound visit was two throws to first base, which would have had my anxiety level in anticipation of that first pitch even more nerve wracking. It might have been a better idea of throwing one outside of the strike zone on that first pitch, because after that long wait, Willson was clearly ready to swing the bat. And that he did. I loved Joe all but getting someone to chain Baez to 1B.

Curry's knee, Green's suspension and no Bogut. The Warriors don't have to deal with any one of those issues and they almost certainly win this. Awesomely crazy series.

Dammit, Peterman. He's really Cubbing this thing up. -

THIS was your post in the middle of Contreras exploding into our lives?
-
Plus Addison is hitting with a .905 OPS over the last week.
-
You can easily fit both of them into the lineup with all of the OF injuries right now.
-
Yeah, but Coghlan is a terrible fartknocker regardless of the matchups. Hell, Montero is, too. YOUTH MOVEMENT YOUTH MOVEMENT YOUTH MOVEMENT

And play Almora; horsefeathers Coghlan.

The Pirates are not the Cubs, though. That's a key factor. If the shoe was on the other foot, the Cubs could go out and spend money or trade minor leaguers to try to close the gap. The Pirates don't have the ability to spend money. They don't have the ability to trade minor leaguers for huge upgrades because they need their minor leaguers to be successful. But that's the point; they're likely not in a position where they need to go out and spend a bunch of money. Plenty of people picked them to be a WC team this year, so unless this season is likely indicative of a downward trend instead of a disappointment then they're likely to be right back in it next season. They don't have to be the Cubs, in any sense, to do that.
-
I mean, we've had numerous conversations here about how pretty much everyone would love it if the Cubs were consistently competitive; I seriously doubt anyone except the saddest meatball was bemoaning the idea that that might mean regularly competing for the WC instead of winning the division.
-
Again, who's talking about giving up forever? And the Pirates finished 1 game ahead of the Cubs team that beat them in the playoffs with 4-5 rookies and spent on 3 top 15 FAs, something that the Pirates will never be able to do. The Pirates still could very easily beat whoever they'd be playing in the WC game. You ARE kinda talking like they're basically doomed to fail.
-
Competitive simply has to be "can we make the playoffs," which they very easily could do next season. They certainly don't have to be as good as we hope the Cubs will be next season to do that.
