Open "FYC" Thread

[ChuckD]

More Chuck Fuckery.

Cubs manager Dale Sveum was doing his pregame media briefing Sunday morning when he was interrupted by a roar, drowning out his thoughts.

Former Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano had just hit his first home run as a Yankee since returning to the Bronx on Friday, and his former teammates screamed and shouted as though they were sitting in the right-field bleachers at Yankee Stadium.

Starting pitcher Travis Wood was getting loosened up and heard the shouting.

"When I came out, I was like, 'What happened?' " Wood said.

Soriano is what happened, providing a clubhouse spark even while wearing Yankees pinstripes on the other coast.

"We were so happy we jumped out of our seats because we saw our boy hit a homer," Welington Castillo said.

That was all the players needed to psyche themselves up before a 2-1 win over the Giants, sealing their first series sweep in San Francisco since September 1993.

Basically, Soriano's homer in New York propelled the Cubs to a sweep. Soriano is helping the Cubs win while on a different team.

The ultimate FYC.

Pretty much every player, coach and executive in the Cubs organization thinks Chuck should fuck himself. That's beautiful.

I think that's actually what Chuck wanted all along, but Fuck Chuck hard.

I don't really think Chuck ever wanted anything more than to have something to incessantly bitch about outside the bounds of ordinary reason.

Again, Soriano's bat is hot at Wrigley Field.

Again, Soriano's bat is hot at Wrigley Field.

Two men are accused of stealing baseball bats autographed by Ernie Banks and Alfonso Soriano and worth $300 each during a double-header at Wrigley Field.

I like Soriano as much as the next guy, unless that next guy is Chuck, but shouldn't a HOFer's bat be worth more?

Probably depends on the relative supply of signatures out there.

If these were game-used, I suspect they would have referred to them as "game-used" rather than just "bats autographed by." Kind of my whole point.

I don't know. If I was decorating a rec room and inviting all you morans and Chuck, wouldn't Fonzie's bat rate just behind Sarge's shoes and Kevin Tapani's shitter among Cubs memorabilia we know people to have in their possession?

Ebay has a fuckload of signed bats from either of these guys, all for well under $300.

So... Why will the Cubs overpay for a Robinson Cano on the wrong side of 30, Chuck?

So they can get the team nearly to .500, of course!

I also think they need to reverse the TV ratings slide before they sign a new TV deal and to do that they'll need to show a near .500 team next year. WGN deal up after 2014.

It's Chuck!

Chuck says pay no attention to Soriano's 2 homers including grand slam and double tonight.
