wow. how do you not toss him there? actually, i'm glad he didn't. homeboy strikes out like 60 percent of the time

joe buck referencing colin cowherd actually makes total sense

does pederson's hat/helmet ever stay on and no, zobrist is not out at first horsefeathers. he was like 7 feet away.

joe buck is such a horsefeathering douche

So over my six years as an advisor here at East Carolina I can't ever recall a student wearing a cubs hat to their appointment. This morning I had two girls wear a cubs hat and both said they didn't realize I was a cubs fan. Which is odd since my walls are littered with Cubs stuff. Anyway, I think it's a sign - we got this one.

this win is going to be fun here in a few minutes

I think over the last 12 hours or so I may be close to breaking the "heart" function on this board. Much like Roberts may break Kershaw's arm. Or the Cubs will break the Dodger's will tonight.

Love you all

http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-dodgers-cubs-plaschke-20161014-snap-story.html #hottake as if i needed another reason to despise bill plascke. Well, I'll just give my "poor man's FJM" a whirl how so, bill? because the cubs are really horsefeathering good and haven't won horsefeathers lately and they have a large fanbase? ok, i guess that's "hijacking" in your world. in the real world it's just a good team with a bunch of fans that desperately want to see their team win a championship. agree to disagree i guess. yes, people talking about baseball on a national scale is a bad thing. to that effect ESPN has nothing but college football coverage on my TV this morning. this makes no sense. are you saying that baseball execs are swayed by the cubs pathway to greatness? it's not exactly "controlling" but it's all i have. i haven't put a dent in your shitty article but you've already lost me. well done. hmm. haven't seen it but it sounds terrible. it also sounds like this is an inferiority complex open letter written by some 12 year old jealous acne faced kid from LA. i bet you are writing this from your mom's basement (horsefeathers, i've stooped to your levels). i'm better than that, sorry. yes, they're horsefeathering good and perhaps baseball fans want to watch a young, entertaining, amazing baseball team play? maybe that's a narrative to consider? the point remains - as IM SURE YOU KNOW - they haven't won a horsefeathering championship in a long ass time. it's a real thing that is thrown in our face all the time. all of a sudden when it's brought up now we should be guilt shamed for the horsefeathering idiots talking about it? the audacity to pay a "baseball boss" more than 10 million a year. it's almost as if all these guys are rich or something and the ones that are best get paid the most. oh, wait, that's exactly how professional sports work. never mind. http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Los+Angeles+Dodgers+v+Arizona+Diamondbacks+11HGG5DWXCwl.jpg somone give bill a free ticket, please. and for the love of god someone line up a barber shop quartet to sing the horsefeathering seventh inning stretch! ok. now this horsefeathers is just mad the cubs are a better team? your horrible article is losing steam, bill. i didn't think it was possible, but now it's just "angry guy being jealous and pointing out how he's mad that his team is worse than the opponent". it's not a great look. i had this argument before but it was when i was an undergrad and super drunk. i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and guess you are drunk now. it's almost as if they looked at projected audience and revenue in considering these factors and went with the most lucrative. DAMN these TV executives and "baseball" (i like how baseball is being used here like it's evil) who want to turn profits. maybe you should have won the first three and then taken a much longer break? also, why the horsefeathers would afternoon vs night matter anyway. the cubs were PLAYING IN CALIFORNIA when they clinched. and wouldn't having the later game be more "not easy on the body" than the "getaway day" afternoon game? does. not. compute. THANKS, CUBS. we are really coming off the rails here... I like how he say's in ANYONE'S MEMORY like he did a quick-and-dirty poll of the entire world before writing his shitty article. and - NEWSFLASH, BILL - empty seats in Dodger's stadium is not a new thing. this is where bill decided he would try to pull a quote and put different meaning behind it. this quote does not mean what you think it means, bill. hmm. it's almost as if you should have started and ended your entire piece with this little tidbit of information. i have no idea what he says after this because i haven't gotten there yet. but, i'll bet it's much more idiotic. yep. did not disappointment. no further commentary necessary. Actually, horsefeathers it, I like how the entire article he tries to say why there shouldn't be a "cliche story" and then BAM - if their WAS a cliche story it should be for LA. GD when i started this little exercise i didn't think this shitty article would be so long. The Dodger's are the REAL cinderella because they lost with washed up managers. OH, and baseball's highest payroll. A true sob story. READ: so, it worked. and it was a smart plan even though those few years sucked for cubs fans. Happy to know the cubs "print money" when you JUST SAID the dodgers have had the highest payroll in baseball. and lol at "fancy new bleachers" as if that didn't cost the team a [expletive] of money to completely gut and remodel the stadium that was a safety hazard and falling apart. I...just...can't. Nobel Peace Prize? eat horsefeathers, bill

https://www.groupon.com/deals/gl-nlcs-game-2-cubs-playoffs-rooftop Legit view of game and under $200 but for game 2 https://www.groupon.com/deals/gl-nlcs-cubs-skybox-on-sheffield-rooftop $149 for a blocked rooftop ticket to game 1 you, sir, are awesome.

so i have a friend going into chicago this weekend (jealous) for work. is the rooftops offer that was posted on this site earlier still an option? any other options (short of her dropping a ton of money for actual tickets)?

no truffle is just the loneliest cubs fan

I actually like Smoltz as an analyst, but yeah he needs to stop doing that. Even Dan flinched a bit when he said "Pedro" but let it go. His insight is pretty spot on most of the time however. yeah to be fair he had nothing but good things to say about him. but how the horsefeathers do you still make that mistake the day after the game? i guess my barometer is low, too, amongst the costa/buck types i compare him to.

yep. still conflicted on bringing dex back but that's probably more of a personal bias. assuming fowler isn't re-signed then move heyward to CF - his bat is much more palatable there.

btw i was listening to the dan patrick radio show earlier and that idiot smoltz called him PEDRO baez again this morning. JFC

just finished reading the 65 pages of this. thanks, all, it did not disappoint. now i'm re-watching the ninth inning for the third time. thought about fred while reading this/watching the ending last night. keep it going, cubs!

Anybody close to Atlanta? Final night at this conference and I've recruited most of the women to go to a bar with me to watch the game (one other guy with us and he will be pulling against the Cubs. Hands may be thrown). They have a sports bar in this hotel but didn't know if there were other recommendations or a Cubs bar in ATL?

Under the Heyward blurb:

What the horsefeathers is an Al Hrbrowski? Actually I don't horsefeathering care

I'll go out on a limb and say a guy who rescued his own mother from drowning probably has an inkling about the dangers of boating that's not remotely the same thing or what duke was saying

i didn't just tear up. there were tears running down my cheeks. very touching moment

i am really THIS far behind?

i bet fred and jose are already chatting baseball
