2015: The Back To The Future Season

[Canadouche]

Not getting my hopes up but I'm also not looking to settle.  Once you're in, anything can fucking happen.

A little from column A, a little from column B. Of course I want them to win, and yeah of course they can win, but I'm just hoping to avoid the stress levels I had in 2003 and 2008 because this should be the beginning of a long run of success. We'll see how well that works once the playoffs start. I'm sure I'll be a wreck.

Nuh-uh.  Were you not paying attention to Eli?  If the Cubs don't win it all this year, they'll never win it.

If you're confused about this concept, go ask a Nationals fan - if you can find one who hasn't slit its wrists after so many years of abject failure.

What a wonderful, nuanced place for discussion Desipio has continued to blossom into, even after all these years.

It's ok, Eli. I think you make a good point.

Are you joking?  Because I know I was, and so was Peck.

Yup.

[Quality Start Machine]

The logical part of me knows they won't run the table on the Morans with Haren today (weather permitting) and a bullpen day tomorrow.

But it's still fun to think about it.

It'd be easier to clarify the times someone is NOT joking at Desipio. Maybe a sincerity font instead of the sarcasm font most sites use?

It would need to be some kind of fancy cursive font.

I was mostly trying to make a bad joke implying that the only person who agreed with you was the forum pariah. This is why I usually cancel out of writing any post where I make a joke, I'm unfunny as fuck.

Fuck you, weather.  I'll beat the shit out of the nearest Skilling if this game doesn't happen.

I don't think you want to mark your return to Chicago by beating up a gay man in Boystown.

It's okay weather don't listen to Oleg he's just being short with you. Just delay it long enough so I can watch in real time.

I like this idea.  I like this idea ALOT.

Did Huey just out Tom Skilling?

They traded for a veteran leadoff hitter, Dexter Fowler, and they began calling up (or recalling) the kids, all of them – Bryant, Schwarber, Russell, Jorge Soler, Javier Baez, Matt Szczur, on and on.

Szczur?  I lol'd.
