That’s basically my mantra to make it through the current state of the world. Whenever it gets to be too much, I just visualize the ball hitting Rizzo’s glove and I feel better.

Considering how much shit I’ve taken from Cardinals (and later White Sox) fans my entire life, I really don’t give a shit if the Cubs become the new most hated fanbase in baseball if it means there’s a 2016 World Series flag on top of Wrigley next year.

Same here, you also get TNT/TBS (for March Madness purposes). Add in an HDTV antenna (if your local teams are on broadcast) and cord cutting is possible.

Also, note that for this subject in particular, the employee really has to have screwed up in a unique and interesting way for anyone to have a reason to care about the story. If you specifically requested a sandwich with no mayo, and a server then brought you a sandwich with mayo on it, well, I’m very sad for you,…

I would like to point out the throw he made to Rizzo was made overhand. Yips resolved!

I love that so many people are criticizing their team’s fans by comparing them to Cardinals fans, it just makes me so happy.

Oooh, an article that talks about Illinois football but doesn’t mention our piss poor game attendance, I’ll take it!

Yes, it is unfortunate he plays on team that on the prime time national broadcast during his no-hitter because of their current position as a postseason contender.

(does anyone else remember this storm?).

So, in the past week, the Chancellor and another top administrator resigned for a multitude of bad decisions, the football coach was fired for endangering the health of the players, and oh yeah, there’s a freaking mumps outbreak on campus. I will be sure to respond the next alumni contribution letter I get with “LOL.”

Who gives a shit! It’s like the dude’s whole weird existence is just to troll sausage-y white North Siders named Gene.

Oh this game. I was on vacation in New Orleans with some friends, we wandered down to the 24 hour gay bar to watch the game (I had verified the night before they would be showing the game). That moment when they scored, we went bananas with the bartender and the very timid straight couple that was also watching. The…

As someone who works in the field (and a soccer fan), it’s fascinating to me that this could be applied to FIFA, that’s absolutely not something I’d ever considered.

I live in Kalamazoo, that’s fighting words around here.

Cubs fan* is heckling Kris Bryant, don’t make it sound like a concerted effort.

Yep, Theo generally has called up prospects on the road to lessen the pressure of the debut. Bryant was most likely going to come up next week on the road in Pittsburgh, but the injuries forced his hand for this weekend.

Yes, because when Boras files a grievance against the Cubs for not bringing him up to start the season, the smartest thing for the organization is for Theo to be on record as saying the reason for today’s call-up was anything but Olt and La Stella’s injury.

Where was the upside for the news station on providing this sort of coverage? The downsides are apparent, aside from the felony statutes they may be putting the jurors in danger by some deranged fan or associate of Hernandez. The upside is what, some silent footage of an unknown person walking into their house for…

And 100% more Kris Bryant if the game is postponed to summer.

Oy, I am not looking forward to him being gone before I get up for work and coming how after I'm in bed. That'll be a miserable rotation, but at least I know he doesn't want to do surgery as a practicing physician, so it's short term.
