Are we there yet? Are we as insufferable as Red Sox fans?  If so I don't care.  We earned it.

Well I already went off on a White Sox fan this morning for saying the Cubs can't repeat because Lester/Lackey and Zobrist are getting old. So I'm already pretty entitled.

I think we get to be whatever we want until the first pitch of Opening Day 2017.

Fixed.

Fixed.

You call that fixing?

I'm starting to get over it.

I'm thinking about goals for the near future.

I want Hendricks to win 32 games.

I want Schwarbs to hit .400 out of the leadoff spot.

I want Zesus to hit .400 out of the two-hole and to retire his wife's walk-up music.

I want Rizzo/Bryant to hit back-to-back dingers 90 times.

I want Russell to drive in 200 ribbies.

I want Albert Almora to make a Rodney McCray catch at Wrigley then step back through the hole he made in the CF wall unscathed, flash the ball, and say "Oooooh, yeah." Then I want to trade the Kool-Aid Man for Trout.

I want Baez to be the first player to win gold gloves at multiple positions in the same season.

I want Heyward to slash .260/.340/.380.

I want Montero to be the second catcher to catch 5 no-hitters in a season.

I want Contreras to be the first.

I want David Ross to do whatever the fuck he wants for a year, then come back as Assistant to the Quality Assurance Coach.

I want to ban the celebrity stretch but replace it with a hologram of Harry Caray that sits in the bleachers, gets progressively sloppy, before taking off his shirt off and causing disturbances in front of Al.

I want 120 wins and an undefeated October. And then a three-peat where their World Series opponents are forced to throw 20 innings with position players because every pitcher's arm has begun to detach from overuse.

I want the Cardinals to go 40-122 for three straight years in front of an empty house before the team is relegated to the Pacific Coast League.

These are all reasonable things.

... I didn't notice him at the time, but now that it's all over and done with I'm enjoying the ever-loving piss out of SADWEEBS after the Rajai Davis dinger.  Skip to 2:12 if you want to get straight to the good stuff.

There were a couple of items that I nearly put in the Completely Unreadable thread, but I don't feel any more insufferable now than I did before. I got to listen to a thoroughly enjoyable season, my Dad and our friends were made happy at the end, I mused on it for a while, and I have no assumptions about next season other than that I'll be listening again.

I enjoyed this post.

Settle down.

...I'm glad I went to Wrigley Field by myself before taking my wife down there. Seeing all the names on the walls made me well up more than I thought it would.

my wife must really love me because the video she took of me face down on the floor sobbing like a baby after the final out is still not a matter of public record.

You better come up big at Christmas just to play it on the safe side.

Love? Or leverage?

Y'all cry an awful lot.
