  1. Eh, it was a pretty goofy press conference. It was fun from our standpoint, but the general commentary about it from outside was amusement or mocking because it/he WAS pretty goofy. It was goofy, but I've heard a lot of national media types saying that Maddon killed it in addition to being irreverent. The only segment I've heard just dumping on Maddon over it has been Cardinals fans. Yeah, definitely didn't see the national mocking angle at all. Not of the signing, but just of the press conference. Along the lines of, "hey, look at this guy buying everyone drinks/looking like Harry Caray." Nothing major.
  2. Usually they just call someone a faggot and then try to machete the hell out of them.

  4. Yeah, I was over at GRB and saw a poster say he wouldn't want any manager as unkempt as Maddon was yesterday, that it was reflective of messy thinking or some such nonsense, and that it would be beneath the Cards. I don't know if it was sarcasm, but I literally laughed out loud. The GRB Chicago jealousy is delicioussssssssssss and this http://gatewayredbirds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1517563#p1517563 Whew, thank God Truffle is there to handle it. It's an opposing teams' board; of course they're going to be talking [expletive]. Mocking La Russa is still (rightfully so) a cottage industry around here.
  5. I thought it was just an account all of the mods have access to.
  6. http://38.media.tumblr.com/f2e01af468616e1ac54ff19d4173429e/tumblr_mw1ssfBtOA1sgl0ajo1_500.gif [expletive] it; if they suddenly have the money and can swing it then I am [expletive] down.
  7. Unless there are deferred payments, they should be done. 8 year contract ended with the final out of the 2014 season. I'm a little surprised that wasn't more celebrated. Why?
  8. Wheeeeeeeeee!
  9. 0.927 WHIP

  11. Him striking out the side got me pumped like it was live.
  12. 2007-2010 Marmol was one of the best things ever.
  13. [expletive], Marmol was so much [expletive] fun to watch back then.
  14. Remember: all big businesses are evil, including sports teams. They are only tolerable when they are spending ungodly amounts of money to satiate my burning desire to see them do it.
  15. Why would those be the only options?
  16. It's what, May? And the place is packed and people are invested in the game's outcome and I miss it so. I miss Ted Lilly, too. Look, I am newly unemployed and mildly drunk on a weekday AND SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS WITH ME.
  17. Edmonds getting booed at Sorinao-like levels for just grounding out. Oh, if only these fools knew what was to come.
  18. Hey, it's fun when a guy can give give good press. Lou could, and it was enjoyable.
  19. Soto getting the Rookie of the Month award for April... SOMEONE ELSE WATCH THIS WITH ME.
  20. Comcast about to show the insane Rockies game from 2008 when the Cubs came back from being down 9-1.
  21. Oh man, you're getting haunted but good.
  22. Dat vest. http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20061124141157/starwars/images/d/d0/SkywalkerWampa.jpg
  23. One second he sounds like the smartest baseball guy in the room and the next he sounds like a hyperactive, overtired 6-year-old. It's pretty great.
