No, you’re right, and as a lifelong Cubs fan that Mets rotation scares the hell out of me. I don’t worry as much about the Dodgers for some reason, and the Nats, well... Dusty Baker. But baseball is a weird game, and a phenomenal regular season doesn’t mean jack in October. That’s the elephant in the room for Cubs…

Wait — you’re leaving? Where are you going?

You’re an asshole. Go fuck yourself.

So good.

Love it.

There's a version out there with Obama and Biden as the faces that's even better.

Off-camera, their new defensive coach: Fred Hoiberg.

Wait, this reminds me — you guys to run recipes. What happened to those? Your pasta shrimp recipe was the bomb.

That’s a great call, re: Sam Smith. He’s still killing it. Lincicome is a guest columnist who probably makes a few hundred per column. This is almost free labor for the Trib.

Yeah, but I feel like he used to have some good lines, some good insight. I remember him saying all NBA games should start tied at 100 with two minutes left, which is pretty funny. Well, kind of funny.

The sad thing is, Lincicome used to be good.

False.

I think you’re mostly right. I was willing to cut Hoiberg a lot of slack, but I see no imagination to his offense. It hasn’t helped that last night’s game didn’t have (from last year’s roster): Gasol, Butler (for most of the game), Dunleavy, Mirotich, and Noah. But when the Nuggets started coming back last night (and…

Yeah, I agree with Captain_Crutch — there’s no gun to your head forcing you to make the Sophie’s choice of Cruz or Rubio (or Trump?).

This was awesome.

It must feel nice to see everything as beneath you. I look forward to another completely predictable response about how middlebrow (low?) the Police were. What’s the next analogy? Adam Sandler? Dan Brown?

Wow, you really burned me. I’ll look for your insight on Pitchfork.

I appreciate your tone, but I am not embiggened by your comment. They were indeed great. The songs were well crafted, they boasted excellent production, and Sting had a great rock voice (sorry, but it’s true). And even if you find some of that incorrect, you can’t argue that Stewart Copeland is one of the top drummers…

That’s the only logical conclusion, because The Police have nothing in common with either of those other acts (who do, indeed, suck ass).
