Wow, I was just looking him up on Fangraphs and it's easy to forget how valuable a player he was. He had a nine year stretch where he put up 58.1 fWAR. Helllllllllllllll no. He was so much fun to watch.

Boston. Lester. Teams shove off from their own players all the time with those kind of shitty offers; we're talking about going after a FA like Price. Now dance for me. -
Which is a thing that happens.
-
I like how you say this like sometimes there are repercussions if a player turns down an offer.

Honestly the Boston success bothers me a lot less after this: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2013/06/25/sports/hockey/seventeen_ss-slide-6GUF/seventeen_ss-slide-6GUF-articleLarge.jpg Meaningless.

And they had a timeout so it's not like that had to worry about the clock running if they got stopped short. I'm still stunned at how this [expletive] thing played out. How could you call something so ridiculously stupid given everything available...I...I just...WHAT THE [expletive]. [expletive] Boston.

blame the dog I can't; I swear, I'm the only one that can smell how badly the dog here keeps farting and people are starting to suspect I'm hiding something.

I say I fall asleep early in the 3rd quarter and offend the room with my Thai food-farts.

Definitely check out this fantastic shredding of Goodell that was briefly up on RollingStone.com and then quickly was pulled down for...reasons? http://www.mrdestructo.com/2015/01/everything-stupid-is-alive-and.html

If the Bulls do this stupid thing, I will straight up kill you with my hands and feet.

Given the history of the NFL in StL (and the MASSIVE mistakes made re: any big stadia built here in the past 25 years) I agree. But let's not act like the Cubs are on some pedestal of sports professionalism and long-term planning. If it weren't for the GemStar Satellite Group, John Hughes (a Sox fan BTW: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Only_the_Lonely_%28film%29) and Harry, (going back to the first point) where would this franchise be? You might just have easily been fans of the Tampa Bay Cubs, or the Trib would've had to stick up Daley like Jerry did (for a POS pre-Camden Yards stadium somewhere) Or, most likely, the Chicago Brewers. http://33.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m32g5zFBmU1qedb29o1_500.gif

It's more the myth/perception that Harry and his traditions are like these "epitome of Chicago and the Cubs" hallmarks and how the meatballs so readily embraced that. As an older kid I just assumed this mushmouthed lunatic had been around with the Cubs forever and that's why they tolerated him.
-
I noticed Harry before the 90's, but knowing what he was before makes what he became seem even worse. 89/90 was the tail end of "good Harry". I think he was slipping way before that; the replays of the awesome '84 run is where you can really hear him getting hammered and sloppy as the games go on. Most of the 80's he was just white noise and as a kid I didn't know any better/give a [expletive] who was calling the game, especially since I really only watched Cubs games. By '91 I was watching a ton of baseball and it was obvious how terrible he was. Like you said, hearing how good he was before he came to the Cubs, especially with the Cardinals, just makes it sad how shitty he was for most of his time with the Cubs.
-
Pretty much. Hearing that sloppy wreck just seems to personify the whole "who gives a [expletive]?" attitude the franchise had for too long. Yeah, Santo was a spaz, but it works if you have a pro like Hughes to handle it. Harry just had King Prick sucking his butt.
-
PUT HIM IN HELL.
-
No, I'm talking about a certain type of meatball. There are many sub-meat and sub-ball breakdowns.
-
Madness. That Harry's statue was the first statue outside of Wrigley sucks, too. Everything about him just seems to personify complacent, only wanna get drunk, meatball fans.
