    Eh, I'll pat myself on the back even though I cheated and gave a range. Tree, however, is a [expletive] psychic.

    Right, but I didn't think of the Expos or Phillies as "real" rivals, either. I hated and hate the Mets, but that was mostly meatball-y hate because my dad and grandfather and Santo hated them so much and that's all I ever knew of the Mets. I was a huge fan of the re-alignment and loved the Reds and later the Brewers coming to the NL Central with the Cubs because they felt so much more like immediate rivals simply by being so close, moreso than the Pirates ever managed even with the past history in the east.

    Because we're not 5. That makes no sense Don't mind him, he's a robot. I am too, though, so I agree with him. Rooting against the Pirates is dumb. There's just no rivalry. Same when the Astros were lumped in to the NL Central; I'm a big fan of actual regional rivals, so these teams from Texas and Pennsylvania basically just felt like they were coming from a different division to begin with and were only in the Cubs' because they had no place else to go. They really belong in one of the east leagues.

    You're bad at sandwiches if bread is ever the main ingredient. seriously that made no sense at all. Huh? Sure it does. If you remove the bread from a traditional sandwich you're left with a pile of meat and toppings, not a breadless sandwich. And like he said, using some sort of replacement for the bread often leads to it being defined as something else like a wrap, pita, burrito etc. The bread defines the sandwich, therefore it is THE ingredient to making a sandwich. It's not the best ingredient, but it's essential. If you do some wackadoo [expletive] and slather mayo, mustard, butter, and marmalade between two pieces of bread, that will be considered as a mayo, mustard, butter, and marmalade sandwich, will it not? The bread is the defining ingredient [expletive], sean had this down. Nice.

    I like this. It's the same thing with a hamburger; it's identified solely by the meat component. Someone brings you a hot dog or a hamburger on slices of bread and you're going to notice and think it's wrong. Someone brings you a turkey or a ham or a tuna sandwich on a bun and you're going to notice and likely see that as being "wrong," too, unless it was explicitly stated on the menu that it came that way. Again, there's exceptions to the sandwich rule a la things like pulled pork or breakfast sandwiches, but those seem to be people subverting or misusing the term "sandwich"...or just being too damn lazy to come up with something new. And a sub or hoagie or grinder or whatever is something else based on the structure of the bread, hence why they were given different names. And don't come at me with some "sub sandwich" nonsense; it's just a sub, and saying you want a "sub sandwich" is like saying you want a "Pepsi soda" or some [expletive]. They are part of the sandwich family, but are their own entities And cheesecake with crust is, of course, a pie.

    Because we're not 5. That makes no sense Because being a child is about the only way I could see someone inexplicably hating the Pirates like they're actual rivals as opposed to to just being "rivals" in only the loosest possible technicality.

    i dont get it It's a waffle iron that makes Cubs waffles. It used to be my avatar. http://www.sports-4-less.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Cubs-solid-blue-150x150.jpg looked like a sandwich press to me if you put something between two waffles is it a sandwich? No. Nor is it when you put stuff between two pancakes, hence why the McGriddle was coined.

    Nobody said they HAVE to play him at the top or the middle of the lineup next year if he's still struggling.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Oh god I can't wait until 2016 when we miss the playoffs by two games because we just had to let Kyle Schwarber take his lumps. That's a terrible way to run a baseball team. If the kid is worthwhile, he'll make himself the best option. Giving them the time they need is what the minors are for. The hell? So unless a prospect is immediately good they can't afford to fit them in the lineup?
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Pretty sure the defense deserves more blame than basically "well, Aaron Rodgers is just too great." The Packers, and Rodgers specifically, have looked VERY vulnerable dating back to last season and the Bears singlehandedly allowed them to look like worldbeaters again.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    It's not like I can suffer more brain damage.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    In general or specifically for the Cubs? I didn't think there'd be much besides a couple of pitcher signings and some scattered filler (if that's even necessary); I'd like to see them pull of a big trade but I'm not holding my breath.

    Let's just use both to clean toilets.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Ugh, [expletive] Malort. Only creeps and wannabe meth dealers still think it's any kind of tradition. Wretched, wretched stuff.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    seriously. first time i can say that i was left wanting more since 08 or 09. Wow, this feels much more like a merciful ending to me. I'm always sad when baseball ends, but this team seemed pretty burnt out by the end. Soler, Rizzo, Arrieta and Hendricks were like the only ones worth watching most of the time.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Well, this is an intriguingly terrible line of thinking.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Well, yeah; you call a sloppy joe a "sloppy joe" like you call a hot dog a "hot dog;" they're their own entities. Now a pulled pork sandwich runs into breakfast sandwich territory, where the term "sandwich" is being used despite key non-sandwich structural components.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Nah, that's still a loaf of bread. A bun is a roll.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    oh come on, throwing vegas in there is cheap All of those cities are awesome, you heartless robot.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, sleepy little hamlets like Portland, Pittsburgh, Washington DC and Las Vegas. You're drunk on sandwiches.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    I dunno; a bun is a bun and sliced bread is sliced bread even if it's end pieces. It just seems different enough. Of course, you throw some eggs and cheese and meat on a couple of bagels and it's a breakfast sandwich, so yeah, they're all just sandwiches in the end. Saying a hamburger is a sandwich just feels like some steamed hams-type nonsense.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Racist.

    I think putting it on a bun changes things up. Calling a slab of chicken on a bun a "chicken sandwich" seems off; that thing is a chickenburger. A sandwich needs to be slices of bread.
