GOODWILL? You don’t even know what it’s like, to suffer year after year. I will burn through that goodwill, then piss it out. If I get to have a hat, with the WORLD SERIES LOGO AND THE CUBS LOGO... I AM GOING TO PLOTZ! SO WILL MILLIONS OF OTHER CUBS FANS! WHY? YOU DON’T FUCKING KNOW!

I’m hoping that the Giants losing to the Cubs in the NLDS set a precedent for annoying orange figures getting crushed by blue figures from Illinois this year.

I have been an unapologetic lifelong fair weather Cubs fan. I haven’t had any reason to get excited about baseball for most of my life. Let me have this.

My late grandfather was a Cubs fan. Born 10 years after they won last, fresh out of the Navy in their last WS appearance. Lost his wife a month before the Bartman incident. Dead six years in November. He would have been overjoyed by tonight.

It’s here: The Schadenfreude Series

I just had to watch most of this game at a bar in South St. Louis in front of three people who a) made fun of us for being Cubs fans despite us being from Illinois, b) started a conversation on Trump’s comments about “bad hombres” by saying “you know what? I don’t like em”, and c) stiffed their waitress on tips.

Okay, I think it’s End Times; some real Revelations-level stuff.

Chicago Police Department showing their priorities tonight. They set up barricades to prevent people from flooding Clark and Addison. But the mostly privileged and white fans of Wrigleyville tore down any barricades and ignored police orders. And they stand there and watch.

I understand why Maddon did it. A 5-run lead can quickly become a multi-run deficit when the pitcher starts losing control.

“Nice catch Baez, don’t ever ****ing do it again.”

i have no idea what to do with myself right now holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck

Suck it Cubs haters!!!! Go Cubbies!!!!

Yeah, as I have posted here before, domestic violence murder rates (along with having been a woman my entire life) make me absolutely certain that men hate women more than nearly any woman hates other women. Don’t even start with that bullshit.

If we judged the Democrats based on shit that happened 80 years ago, most of the jezzies here would end up reluctantly supporting trump

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Fuck this revisionist bullshit man. The HOTEL where the awards were taking place at, like every hotel in the city then, was segregated (as it remained until 1950s). AMPAS didn’t segregate her The Ambassador Hotel did. The hotel had a no black people policy and the Academy forced them to let her…

In the same way she did? Did anyone tell him to go away? Did anyone tell him to stop trying so hard? (Which he is.) Did he vow to step back from the limelight the way she did?

George Clooney didn’t thank anyone at all. Instead he touted how awesome and progressive the Academy was on social issues without realizing it was the same organization that forced Hattie McDaniel to sit at a segregated table.

I’ve also seen that ‘backward’ effect, sometimes— women on the frontline in a male dominated workplace/profession get hardened & noticeably less-feminist. I guess the line of thinking is, “I didn’t have feminism to make MY path easier, I didn’t have anybody to tell me they believed me or help ME out while I struggled…

It is simply a symptom of some sort of aphasia afflicting republicans. Many cannot form coherent sentences. See also Sarah Palin and/or your drunk uncle.

Don’t forget the “I’m a STRONG woman, unlike those whiny feminist bitches” refrain that goes right along with the internalized misogyny. In the younger set it sometimes manifests as “I’m too pretty to be a feminist”.
