  1. One of those fun trivia things about how you can get a lower obp than batting average
  2. How do the announcers say Master Boney without snickering. I could never.
  3. Nifty turn. Defense got us into and out of that mess. I'll take it
  4. That third strike was dirty. Lol our catcher can't catch
  5. Remember when we used to make fun of brewerfan.net for thinking they had a better front office and future outlook than us?
  6. This is like the lineup that 2016 cubs would field on a getaway day in September.
  7. Bought that call with the way they reacted to the last call
  8. You could take another 2 seconds off the pitch clock and I would be ok with that
  9. Have any of the rule changes made it possible to score on defense like in football? Might be our best shot
  10. Yeah you have to pick your spots carefully. I narrowed it down to about 3 neighborhoods in all of north oc that fit what I wanted. Old neighborhood was a five minute drive just to get out of suburban residential purgatory
  11. I moved to my current neighborhood about 18 months ago specifically so I could ditch my car and go full walking lifestyle. It's going better than i expected tbh.
  12. I haven't actually been but I did buy Ducks season tickets right when they started to fall apart
  13. Beach volleyball story, sort of: A year or two ago, I got Misty May-Traenor personally annoyed with me. My niece was in the same gymnastics class as her daughter and they were good friends. My niece is an absolute psycho, and her highest goal in life at the time was to learn more dirty words and rude gestures. She knew such words existed, but the adults in her life had mostly managed to keep her from learning them. She had "crap" and knew that there was an F word but didn't know what it was. With me being the fun uncle, she had identified me as her best shot and frequently begged me to teach her new swears and gestures. So remember that bit in Talladega Nights where Ricky Bobby gives his rival an upside-down middle finger and says "Can you hear this? I better turn it up" as he rotates his hand up? I taught her that but with the 90s forehead L instead of the middle finger. Within a week, all the girls in the gymnastics class were doing it, and a three-time Olympic gold medalist was among the gym moms annoyed with me for introducing it. Bonus psycho niece story: I took her and two of her younger siblings to watch some friends play beer league hockey a few years ago. We sat behind my friends' bench and I taught the kids the concept of heckling, giving them some cleaned up lines from Letterkenny to yell at players from behind the bench. It was all in good fun but I got a little carried away and had my 7 year old niece yell "that was your guy 2-6, just end it you bender" and her younger sister chimed in "yeah just end it." I immediately realize I had gone too far. But you can't just tell these kids "I shouldn't have taught you that, please don't repeat it" because that just tells them they have something good and they'll never let it go. So I told them that "bender" was a super naughty word, like the worst word ever, and I shouldn't have taught them that please don't repeat it. They were so excited to know a super bad word and whispering it among themselves that they forgot the rest of the stuff they learned that night. Six months later my niece is in one of her oppositional defiance fits and screams "I hate you, you *bender*" at her mom and waits for the big reaction she expected for using such a horrible swear.

  15. No I was just mad
  16. 75. At first I read only cubs fans posts and it seemed like wow, our pitching must be pretty good. Then I read all the preseason projections from neutral places and nobody else seems to think our pitching is even average.
