  1. Or he could go in the open urinal that he passed to get to the stall and not make me wait another minute to evacuate my bowels you are legally within your rights to [expletive] all over the floor and/or walls very true Non urinal pissers are more monsters
  2. I feel a bit groggy maybe when i first wake up, but a shower and that first drink and i'm good. It's more the headaches and heartburn than anything else. I have no idea why a nap tends to set that off for me. it's probably menstrual
  3. that person is dumb len clearly sounds like a midwesterner that worked to lose his midwestern accent so he could get a job that requires your voice not to be grating. He does not sound like a guy from queens
  4. agreed... he's a little bit of an acquired taste, i think, though. at least, for me, when he first got hired, i hated his voice. he had to win me over with the things he said. sure, but it took like a week and a half. Do people not remember Chip freaking Carey's voice? Nerd voice is annoying, but stern, condescending and cocky nerd voice? At least Len brings joy to the world.
  5. My most common thought when I see movie or a TV show or a news story or anything that's set in the middle of the night is, "my god, how is everyone not completely exhausted?" I am completely addicted to a full night's sleep now and I don't know what flipped the switch to the point that if I don't get at least 7 hours I am destroyed. I think back to how little I would sleep until I was, like, 35 and honestly have no idea how the [expletive] I could operate at all. I saw Pearl Jam in Wrigley Monday night, got to bed at 1, up by 4, on a plane by 6 and in the office by 10:30 and I've been paying for it all week.
  6. What do you think it is? Meatball-rage over the Cubs not having some beloved ex-Cub in the booth? Bitterness over Len not being party of Harry's family of the damned? Inexplicable longing for dead soul-smarminess of Steve Stone? jinxing perfect games
  7. amen brother people who get all worked up about the asg / hfa thing just want to complain about something there's no actual good way Just don't let whether or not you have lights determine hfa (yes I know that is a myth)
  8. there's very little astonishing about not making the playoffs for roughly the first half of that 70, when making the playoffs was really hard. i mean it's pretty awful for a chicago team not to do it once in like 40 years, 15 or so of which included divisional play. plenty of other franchises had runs of extended success in those eras. the cubs couldn't even manage one season, and it's not like it was bad luck. it was due to neglectful and incompetent ownership. But you needed to be best in the league through '69 to make the "playoffs" and the late 60's early 70's Cubs were relatively good.
  9. all of which happened since 1984 there's very little astonishing about not making the playoffs for roughly the first half of that 70, when making the playoffs was really hard.
  10. I still can't get over the fact that Lou pulled Z after 6 innings (I think 85 pitches) in a tie game in Game 1 because he wanted him sharp for game 5. He was pitching great and you win the game you are playing in first. And it doesnt help that Marmol immediately gave up a HR to the first batter he faced to break the tie. I still think that was the right move. He actually pulled him early so that he could bring him back on 3 days rest in game 4. The Cubs had a good back end of the bullpen, and the Cubs really didn't have a 4th starter by that point. Marshall I believe was at his innings limit by that point, Marquis had a 5.73 ERA in the second half of the year, and Trachsel had just been terrible. 1 inning of Zambrano even in a big leverage spot was not worth having Marquis pitch vs having Lilly pitch a second time in the series. Obviously it ended up working out the worst way possible. trying to make guys go on short rest in playoffs is bad

  12. this is all the drama we have in store for us the rest of the season. Which guys will get which days off?
  13. What's the problem? He's giving his kid(s) an awesome experience. Good for him. I am grateful I'm going to get to avoid the Frozen stuff when we go to Disney this November though. I didn't say there was a problem. I just didn't know how to articulate what you were about to see. really? it's not that convoluted of a situation A father lip syncs to music with his young daughter at Disneyland.
  14. What the what? He's not some bloated pudge. Roger Clemens spent half his career looking like Jim Miller doing studio work. Lots of pitchers bloat up. Strop is a truck.
  15. All big programs are dirty. sure, but what does that have to do with ole miss?
  16. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources-ncaas-ole-miss-investigation-expands-beyond-laremy-tunsil-124229650.html NCAA is out of control. Someone is really butthurt that they spent 3 years investigating Ole Miss and all they could come up with was $16,000 of impermissible benefits, such as keeping a loaner car too long or a current player staying on a coach's couch for a night. They found no evidence of pay for play or money exchanging hands between staff and players/recruits. I'm not saying that didn't happen, because of course that kind of thing happens at every program. However, this new tactic is pretty twisted. I have never seen an athlete granted immunity to snitch on a program other than the one he signed with. That has to give schools concern. Now the NCAA is essentially saying that some violations are more important than others, that "getting" school X is more important than school Y. That a player could say "An Ole Miss booster gave me $100 and I took it but signed with Auburn for a new Escalade" and the NCAA would give Ole Miss a level 1 for the hundy and take no action at all against Auburn. spoken like a true fan of a dirty program
  17. hahahaha, so they suspend her for bad comments after her usefulness to the team ran out but not for all the other horsefeathers she's done over the years?

  19. yeah, this is pretty interesting Isn't his agent the same guy who did this with Mariota? no idea, but everybody who pays attention to the details has made it clear the Chargers are offering a contract no other top 5 pick has agreed to sign since new CBA. They are the worst.

  21. is it just me or has every bit of news coming out of training camp been bad? Everybody has been banged up, the line may contend with the worst lines in recent memory for ineptness. the first round pick can't stay on the field. I guess last year's 1st round pick looks good. Nothing about this team is interesting. Are they just playing out of the clock on the Cutler years and allowing Pace and Fox to rebuild from scratch repetitively? Over/under on wins is 7.5 and I'm having a real hard time trying to justify taking the over.
  22. it was explained to me yesterday that the difference between living in California and living in North Dakota is a lot less time to spend on a message board because there is actually stuff to do in CA. didn't he take over the cardinals website?
