Dwyane Wade. Yay?

Gotta get back into that 4-6 seed for next year's traditional second round exit.

Wildly optimistic.

Congrats to Apex and all of the long-suffering Cavs fans.

I figured since my work in Cleveland is done, I might mosey back on over to Knickland for the Porzingawd Era. But it's not worth enduring even one second of Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah's corpses. I'm not doing that. I'll see if LeBron can win one more for the 'land before starting another Superfriends Team wherever he and Chris Paul decide to set up shop.

Anybody ever sell a car online?

What's a good website, method for going about it?

Is the difference between what CarMax will give you versus what you can get for it through a private sale worth bothering?

I guess it depends and you've just given me some good starting points. All other input and shared experiences are welcome.

Before I moved to Chicago I used to care very little about the Sox except during their series with the Cubs. Even from afar those felt intense and I really wanted the Cubs to thrash them. Especially in the years when the Cubs were good, like 2003, I felt deeply about those games. It was just fun though. Then I moved up here and met actual White Sox fans. Some of them were just regular people who liked an American League team but so many more were truly committed to the stereotype that Cubs fans don't care about or understand baseball. Then they'd open their meatball cockholsters and betray such wrongheaded, asinine baseball thoughts that I learned to loathe them.

I've pretended to be neutral on the Sox just to avoid the conversation about which side is better, mostly because the Cubs have been so awful that it was pointless and made me look bad. I see a bunch of my Cub fan friends say they don't worry about the Sox when the Cubs are good. I do. Fucking A right I do. They need to be humiliated to the point that their words against us sound as sweet as birds chirping on the first day of Spring.

They have a fucking title this century or so and we don't. How can that be ok no matter what the Cubs are doing.

Eradicate the brutes.

The only Sox fan I know pretty well in real life is my wife's cousin's husband. He's a good guy in general, usually fairly smart, we got along well as Bears fans because he was always in the "everyone wants to blame Cutler camp but look at his supporting cast" camp, which was a quick way to my heart.

But then when Latos was 4-0 or whatever he went on facebook saying "enough about fucking Arrieta, how about Mat Latos?" and I wanted his bloodline exterminated.

This is not a fucking game. They're going to get theirs.

Quote from: SKO on May 31, 2016, 11:05:49 AMjust the "hey why bother even getting pissed off about any inexplicably lucky performances the Cardinals are getting, they don't matter at all anymore" part. There's still a chance they could get in as the wildcard, and then have 29 year old rookie Jehosephat Hanzenbacher go 10-15 with 10 homers as a pinch hitter. Until they are buried we must punch down as hard as possible as frequently as possible.

I agree, but for me it's more of an "It ALL matters" kind of thing. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm greedy. If this thing truly is finally happening, and all indications are that it is, I want ALL of it. I want it to be The Season of Fuck for everybody else. All scores settled, all grudges taken out, mudholes stomped in every single fucko. I'm one of those guys who doesn't really even give a shit about the Shite Sox, but I know a lot of Cubs fans do, so I hope they fuck off and die. I want Grichuk to star in the story of a man who gets told to suck it and then gets kicked in the face 20 times. I want to witness Sean Rodriguez sobbing uncontrollably right there on the field. I've got nothing against Jung Ho Kang, but I want Jorge to make orphans of his children. I want them to figure out a way to humiliate Steve Garvey and Will Clark somehow, just for the hell of it. I want it all, even the unimportant shit. I want nine Cubs in the ASG. I want Bryant to unleash a firehose of splooge upon the HR Derby. I want all the goddamn postseason awards. I want David Ross to somehow be named NL ROY. I want Jake to knock Kershaw from a game with a granny to make it 10-0 in the 2nd, and then go ahead and do the perfect game just because fuck them. I want them to pound Dusty's cock in the dirt. I want them to win 135 games with a run differential of +fuckyou. And I want them to do all that while smiling and dancing and acting a fool, blissfully unconcerned with how much they're chapping everybody else's ass. I mean, if you're gonna do it, might as well go full-bore with it. Eat souls. Burn shit down. Let em all go to hell, except Cave 76.

All of this and Dick Beard getting his facial pubes burned off by a Javier Baez line drive.

It's ok to take steroids if you're fat. Everybody knows that. Shut up and drink your shake.

Finally, Coldhands!

I'm pretty sure his origin differs from Martin's intentions, though.

Are you sure because of something GRRM said or because you interpreted the text differently? I've heard the Benjen is Coldhands theory for quite a while. It makes good sense to me.

Kermit's choking on that tea right now.

Yeah, that was kinda weird, but I'll take the series win.

Now we have an entire off-day to panic about Jake Arrieta, so let's make the most of it.

I'm not worried that the Cardinals hit the ball too slow to turn double plays in two different scoring innings. On a day like that you need every good bounce you can get.

Jed Jerkoff. (sigh of relief)

Hector's the best fielding pitcher on the team. I shall brook no argument.

As frustrating as it was to see Warren and Wood try to piss the game away, the fact that they let STL get close and still slam the door on their dick is rather satisfying.  Losing a game like that leaves you nothing but a big ole' case of blue balls, so have a drink tonight on your Cubs, folks.

They did it!

That LaStella robbery was so fucking poetic it reminded me of Larry Johnson's 4-point ass-blasting of the Pacers in 1999. They get Baltimore chops out the yin-yang and Molina sticks his arm in front of one to load the bases in a 2-run game. Jake is teetering. Disaster strikes on a hard grounder third. Oops. No. Sorry. Inning over.

I've never seen that happen to the Cubs in St. Louis. The game is far from over but I'm fucking enthused.

God Damn It.
