  1. I dunno, game 5 and its afterglow was like a dream. Yeah, what's happening right now is [expletive] fantastic, but for anyone who can remember game 5 of the 2003 NLDS, or hell, after game 4 of the NLCS of 2004, this doesn't even compare. Everything was going right; the team was stacked and seemed set to win then AND going into the future. I remember just being so ridiculously happy about those playoff wins; never felt like anything like it over any other sports win. the nlcs game 4 afterglow was just incredible. especially because game 4 was a blow out. zambrano, prior, wood just needing to win one game. come on. http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/epicrapbattlesofhistory/images/a/a9/Crying-gif-24.gif/revision/latest?cb=20150227011925

  3. I like names on the back of the jerseys since most of the time I have no idea who these lunkheads are when they first show up. Plus I'm, like, angry at numbers and stuff.
  4. I do. It is overbearing when they are winning, but oh so delicious when we are concurrently donging them to death. Oh, I have no problem with them rubbing it in their faces. Steal bases and bunt for hits when you've got a big lead late, pitch 'em inside, get all pumped up and show it on the field; but actually hitting them with the current narrative is just a tad annoying. I seriously doubt any of them were intentional, but I just hate that they can go, "SEE?!? Nobody's as our classy team made up of jerks that smell bad!" Give them nothing but shame and regret.
  5. As awesome as Maddon's comments are, I really wish they hadn't hit any of the Cardinals at all today. Their team and their fans have a persecution complex that puts Kim Davis to shame and I don't want to see that fed.
  6. Why does it have to be an either/or? It's a question of resources. At the end of the day, great as he is, Chapman is still a relief pitcher. That should put him further down the list in terms of areas the Cubs should be spending their trade chips and money on. Since their bullpen has been pretty damn good and isn't a glaring weakness, there's not a real need to go out and trade for a closer who will then be a FA after next season. I'd want them to look to make other moves in regards to the OF and the starting rotation before they start looking at a relief pitcher. At the end of the day, I don't think there's been enough of a difference between Rondon and Chapman to give up what it would take to trade for him.
  7. Not if we all do it. This should be our "I AM SPARTACUS"-moment.
  8. I was just going to post the same thing.
  9. Well, now he's just being cruel, what with his fancy book-learnin' words and whatnot.
  10. Well, yeah, I'd rather have Mike Trout over Bryant, but hey, sometimes you have to settle for the guy who is just really, really, really good instead of the best.
  11. did not disappoint I'm so pissed I can't see it. Describe the glory. Some guy hit a ball that had a trail of fire behind it. It looked sure to blaze right through Fowler's chest and to the wall for an inside-the-park home run. Then, suddenly, the skies parted and a dong descended from heaven. And verily, as the prophecies had foretold, it was not a dong of bat, but a dong of glove. Streaking through the sky, Addison Russell snatched the ball of fire from the air. As the runner was a step away from second base, Addison transferred the ball from his glove to his hand, using only the power of love. The ball was flipped to Javier Baez, who stretched out his arm, stretched it to the length of 7 mighty men. The flip was in time. The Cubs were victorious. Is that too long to have tattooed to my back?
  12. Sooooooooooooooo thank goodness tree missed his next start.

  15. did not disappoint I'm so pissed I can't see it. Describe the glory. hit hard up the middle, thought for sure it was a hit russell nabs it and tosses to castro You mean Baez, right? I figured he got pulled when Russell came in. But still, thanks. Can't wait to see the highlights.
  16. did not disappoint I'm so pissed I can't see it. Describe the glory. two massive fist pumps (imagine the white sox game), then two jumps in the air, then two chest pumps, then a shout out to jesus Thank you.
  17. Whichever Cardinal gets rage-drunk tonight and forgets to call for a cab after midnight and ends up in the lake.
  18. did not disappoint I'm so pissed I can't see it. Describe the glory.

  20. NAILS. Celebrate your [expletive] ass off, strop. That was some delicious redemption.
  21. i could've sworn you were the one who got me on the strop transforms into awful vs st louis mentality Probably, but desperate Rosscupian times call for awesome measures.
