I enjoyed it for about 2 minutes until my FF button caught up with the (insert shitty Illinois basketball player)ian performance by my guy Starlin. D'angelo Hall just called a radio station somewhere and called Starlin a clown. But D'angelo Hall is still a tard.
I refuse to splooge for Asian Theriot.

I just read Andy Dolan's excellent post comparing Barney and Theriot and while I'm not even semi-hard for Barney, I do not hate him enough to label him an Asian Theriot. Yet.
I wouldn't have hated Theriot as much if stupid people didn't love him so much. There's no way the same stupid people fall in love with an Asian version is there? As long as he doesn't become a scrappy folk hero I can stay indifferent, which ain't that bad really.

I said the same thing last night. He's a middling player. I have no reason to hate middling players until idiots decide a team full of middling players is better than a team of excellent players.

Cub fans everywhere went pretty much apeshit for Fukudome during his maiden April. Once it was discovered that he sucked they abandoned him en masse. Even though, at his corkscrewing worst, Fukudome is twice as useful as Theriot, there was a segment that either wouldn't or couldn't see that. Could have something to do with Fukudoe's contract but nah, probably racisim.

Idito. The difference between Fukodume and Theriot was that Theriot was a HOME GROWN KUBBEE TALENT. You boo free agents when they flop, you don't boo a guy who was taught for years what it's like to be a cub, wearing cubbie blue, learning lessons from teh Cubs legends in spring training. A guy who gets it. Theriot was a simple man, who had no expectations, then VOILA, he saved our butts time and time again. And he was ours from the start. All ours. Chief on that, dark skins.

It's not about what you would expect but the constant Barney Blow Jobs that everyone seems to be handing out. He's fooling everyone.

At the Iowa Cubs games Friday night Darwin was starting at SS for the visiting Oklahoma City Dodgers. I said "Hi Darwin!" before the game and he looked at me and that is a man whose soul has been crushed by having to play baseball in Iowa and Oklahoma City again. I kinda felt bad for him.
The crowd gave him huge ovations every time he came to the plate. It was embarrassing.

Because Asian Theriot still has many followers, and if y'all think meatball Cubs fans in Chicago are bad, they have NOTHING on meatball Cubs fans in Iowa.
I heard so many people complain that the Cubs wronged him my blood boiled. I mean it doesnt' take much to set my blood boiling, but still.
