This is needed in the Creepy Weirdo thread. Thanks. -
The Cubs juggernaut continues today behind a couple of starting pitchers who both look like they should be rocking this as their theme song: Speaking of dirty white boys: Let's go Cubs. http://static.wixstatic.com/media/ba7f83_2ea3d3ea5b3a4df2817646990cd281a7.gif

yes. in the ricketts seats. PTR and kenney were with him earlier. George Will managed the impressive feat of being the only person in Ken Burns' Baseball to actually make hate the sport a little bit based on how much he loved it.

Then get back on the case before I get IA on your ass.
-
No.

Broken, possibly drunk David is the best David.

Everyone had to do that.

Mostly the mutual Jesus Freak thing, the weird involvement in his wife's Jesus Freak-y career, he seems super quiet and reserved compared to what comes across as a really lose and fun-lovin' bunch of chuckleheads on the team. Basically he seems like the kind of guy everyone yells "CHEESE IT!!!" over when he stumbles across them having shenanigans.
-
It's a short list; most of them play for the Cubs.
-
Then he's the coolest.

TT, this thread is about WANTING to see Zobrist as something other than a creepy weirdo. I find it endearing how you glom on to all of the sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies and dickheads that end up on the roster and defend them as righteous dudes to the bitter end, but we need some kind of tangible proof. Just one example of Zobrist being a stone cold chiller.
-
Hmmmm. Borderline.
-
horsefeathers, I thought he was going to be the best of the prospects.
-
Yeah, him seemingly adding some serious TOOTBLAN tendencies to his game kinda quells any hope I have for him to make up for his deficiencies via his bat. It's, like, "damn, dude, you already suck defensively, but now you gotta suck at THIS, too?" It feels like he's got to REALLY hit well to offset how stank he is at everything else. well, you never know... That just feels like you're cruelly teasing a dog with a delicious treat.
-
Dammit, I don't have sound on. Big time helps retracted.
-
Nobody we see has any reaction. Then maybe he's talking to someone not in the gif.
-
there are some good signs there: he's really improved his discipline from where it was last year (mostly disastrous) to acceptable levels and he seems to have added loft to his swing now and is hitting a lot more fly balls; he was never going to make it as an empty batting average guy so you can see the gains his fellow expatriate has made and it's not unforeseeable to imagine him as a similar type of power bat but you hope he will be less of a total black hole in the field, and this is perhaps sanguine...i don't close the book on it because we've seen coaching/instruction do immense amounts of good in helping player performance (Fowler, Bryant, Russell) greatly outpace their reputation and i still don't know how he ended up on 2nd after Bryant's ball hit off the wall the other day (eventually costing a run) Yeah, him seemingly adding some serious TOOTBLAN tendencies to his game kinda quells any hope I have for him to make up for his deficiencies via his bat. It's, like, "damn, dude, you already suck defensively, but now you gotta suck at THIS, too?" It feels like he's got to REALLY hit well to offset how stank he is at everything else.

Len wants you to know the Cubs are good (a/k/a the Len thread)
Sammy Sofa replied to Brian's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It is mildly annoying that any kind of postseason loss will be tagged to "Cubs being Cubs" as opposed to "fickle baseball being fickle baseball." -
Did it? I was thinking he was just reacting to the whoosh of air. Like, "whoa, is there a bird landing on me?" There's no way that touched him. The kid is way behind, and if it did touch him the guy reacted long after he got hit. But he didn't get hit. Or someone he's talking to is reacting, like, "LOOK OUT" to the kid and he's reacting to that reaction. We have become gif Truthers. This game is too far away.
-
Big time helps.
-
He's definitely a narc.
-
No, awkward cousin hanging with the crew,or going into a club, or a backroom deal and zobrist is the new guy. "He's cool, he's with me" vouching for the new guy kinda deal. So now he's Donnie Brasco? Or Mr. Orange? DAMMIT, WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT.
-
Teacher's pet-kinda deal? Creepy weirdo factor....rising.
-
That's all well and good, but what kind of changes have we seen with his Creepy Weirdo Index?
-
Hahahahah! Nearly a season's worth of legit highlights after a month. Insanity.
