Why doesn't WGN just run commercials telling everybody what their odds are of dying in the next year, or maybe scare us into worrying about nuclear holocaust?
-
Most depressing 5-0 late inning lead without an injury ever. I'll take it. Edit: Well, Lackey is pitching well and deep in Colorado. Shouldn't be overlooking how that is awesome.

We suck.

Gave up the go ahead run without them putting a single ball in the outfield and no BB.

Joe West sucks chant. Lol

Joe FREAKING West

I'm like a 2. I have found it virtually impossible to get very mad about the Cubs this year. Being human makes it harder to remove emotion from the equation that determines pissed off levels. Even when my head is like, "Dude, you're the defending world champs and (almost) everything sucks right now and you're still in first place."

Does your meter only go up to 8? No. The conventional 10.

I'm about an 8 on the pissed off meter

Early leads are so overrated.

Len says Rizzo is changing his walkup song for one AB tomorrow... http://mlb.com/images/4/5/2/154339452/101315_chc_dugout_dancing_lo_o34c5qeh.gif

The fact that there is even a bean ball culture that the umps have to navigate is the problem here. Adults throwing at each other like giant babies is so beyond stupid that it's amazing the number of people who defend it There can be two problems... 1. Bean ball "culture" that has mostly been perpetuated by the Red Sox in this instance. 2. Umpires with no brains.

Good inning. Was really hoping KB would bat with runners on when Schwarber was up 2-0 and 3-1.
-
3 hard hit 3-2 pitches for 3 outs...
-
Arrieta hasn't been crisp, but he's had a lot of dumb luck the last few games too.

Suckiest bunch of sucks who ever sucked.

I'm actually surprised at how rarely I get an angry customer, and when I do get an angry one I'm usually able to help them out and make their day. Most of the people I speak to are professionals (engineers, electricians, etc.) and I help them with technical issues. Working a call center for something like cell phone bills or products that people use at home would be awful I would think. I did DSL tech support about 12 years ago for Qwest, and it was pretty horsefeathers. Especially since we had a "we don't troubleshoot home networks" policy...and the metrics we were evaluated on were calls taken and short call durations...not on actually resolving customer issues. Yikes! Those metrics suck. We have three metrics in order of their priority: 1. Did you eventually solve the customer's issue? 2. How many hours per day are you talking or available or entering notes after a call? 3. Did you solve the customer's issue on the first call?

I too take support calls from customers. I am convinced 50% of Americans can't find their state on a map and 75% have no general idea of where the time zone boundaries are. However, foreigners often seem to know US states and time zones pretty well. It's baffling to me.

Should have gone. Would have been the first 2B to that portion of the field in MLB history if he made it.

Chances Javy BB here?
