    Fat losers are no fun. I should know.

    so bad It just kept escalating and escalating and then there was Ditka and everything went white and I traveled in time.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    I hope so. That said, he shouldn't wear that stupid face mask. There's no way it doesn't cause at least a minor distraction. I always thought the same thing with Aramis; I don't know how that thing doesn't throw their hitting off.

    I think Soler just hates the cold.

    Unless Lester is going to be able to pull off a long outing tomorrow, now I kinda want Rondon Fan's (seriously, change your name; I thought you were doing that for guys we want them to get rid of) rainout prediction to come true.

    Despite the annoying 9th, it's great having a team that's just fun to watch again. There's offensive approach is great, and Bryant looked fantastic. Can't wait until Russell's up to join in.

    Damn. That card is like an acid flashback. Since I'm back home for the time being, I should really dig out my old collection.

    Plus bemoaning things for being cruel and then pointing to FJM and older Deadspin as something different seems pretty...faulty. Maybe your tastes have simply changed, because those sites from day one tore into people. Saying they were just the right amount of mean seems like a pretty tenuous thing to long for when odds are if FJM was still going you'd probably just now think was too cruel, too because your sense of humor has changed.

    But seriously, to me that rings about as true people who bemoan negative news stories like they think the world has never been more evil or worse off or who knows what. So some sites that used to be more funny changed their tone or their focus; so what? Staffs change, focuses change with outlets like that...the scope of sites available out there has never been more huge or more varied. Finding writing that's "just" funny isn't something that's harder to do now than any point in the past; it's the exact opposite. Just because FJM stopped years ago or Deadspin shifted it's content output doesn't mean there's now mean that the internet's humor quotient or whatever has simply decreased without anything to different to come along to fill that role.

    Get a load of gramps over here.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    yes, very true isn't that representative of the internet as a whole? Man, yesterday did weird things to people. No, I seriously doubt the whole of "the internet" is less funny now.

    I'm seem to recall Prior getting a decent amount of "we could be seeing one of the all-time greats"-hype a lot the whole way until he showed up. Analysts are obviously really high on Bryant, and they should be because he's like pure cut right from the Golden Triangle, but for some reason Prior seemed more next level-hyped.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    That's what makes the hate so strong. If they make Bryant share the retirement with Grace like they did with Jenkins/Maddux, I'm going to be really annoyed. I still get irked by that stupid Jenkins/Maddux thing. Because they're both so awesome?
  16. Sammy Sofa
    It's not Ross, who cares No, [expletive], UMFan is bothered by the guy hitting .333 .429 .833 1.262 (in a tiny sample size) getting a start and that's that.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    [expletive] THIS DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! Get some kind of stomach bug and make it tomorrow, Kris.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Jeez, fine, I'll just snack while I piss like an animal so I can make it back in time.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    [expletive] WORK.

    Yeah; I'm Mr. Pays No Attention to This Kind of Stuff and even I was well aware of Strasburg and Harper for a lonnnnnnng time. Bryant is gonna rule, but I don't think he's anywhere near that kind of hype. And Trout was kind of a relative slow burn, too.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    alcantara isn't as exciting, but he was a top 50 prospect at midseason last year, and his development continues to be pretty important to the cubs' future. As a supersub, sure.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    I don't dislike the guy; I'm just willing to go use the bathroom or get a snack if he's up to bat.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Meh; he's just a dude.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    I don't know; there's still only 3 guys in the lineup that I really care about seeing in Castro, Rizzo and Soler. Everyone else is just sorta filler in terms of me not caring if I see them hit or not. Once Bryant and Russell are up...hot damn.
