I don't know anyone who's really upset about the mascot.

Rewind a couple pages.

Not sure how saying it sucks (which it does) and being "really upset" about it (which I'm not) are the same thing.  Just that it might be a reason why some people are upset, even though it's a mascot for kids.

It's okay, everybody. Cardinals fan and Billy Cub enthusiast Will Leitch has helicoptered in from Georgia to tell us What This All Means.

I love Clark now.

Quote from: Cockbag LeitchEvery Cubs fan I talked to had that same sense of sadness and embarrassment: Why did we do this?

I wish he'd asked me, because I don't give a flying fuck about Clark.  If I need anything to get sad or embarrassed about, my life is rich with opportunity without having to worry about the Cubs creating a mascot for kids.

I wonder if Leitch is sad and embarrassed about the pantless, baby-eating, Fredbird.

If that's anyone other than Steve Allen, he's stealing Tommy Hawk's bit.

 A couple of decades ago the Giants had a guy dressed as a Dungeness crab.  "Crazy Crab".  The fans here greeted him with hatred and derision.  One drunk finally beat him up.  Now the Giants have a mascot dressed as a sea lion.  He, or it, is named "Lou Seal".  Or "Lucille."  I am not sure which.  The A's have a guy in an elephant suit.  He is named "Stomper".  Before each game he is driven around the warning track in a golf cart.  Sometimes he parades around the second deck and fans throw peanuts at him.  
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)
