Matt Garza may not have a stupid fucking name or a stupid fucking mustache, but he certainly has a stupid fucking beard/goatee/muff transfer.

Also you misspelled Kyuji's last name - it's Fukijawa.

Good preview otherwise.

Ask me how much effort I put in to making sure I spelled his last name right...

I'll give you a hint, the answer rhymes with snot bucking futch bat tall.

It's important because that's the only reason he(?) is on the Cubs' roster.

Excellent work, Mark! I particularly both love and can identify with the hatred for which you have for the FTC. Spread the bile until it's a pile!!! Come see us in the GZ!!!

Right on. 

And how do you find the information about opposing batters' stats against specific pitchers?

You think the Cubs have stupid names?  Kim and Kanye just named their daughter "North".  As in "North West".

No word as to any middle name(s), but the only way this can be redeemed is if they are "by North".

Also, if that we me, we'd be about 15 years away from a particularly vicious case of parricide.

If you go to the team's web site, look under 'news' and they usually have probable pitchers. In there, they'll have some stat breakdowns.

I usually use Baseball Reference, but that works too.  Good job, asshole.

And it's been too long since I've had a chance to say this: Fuck the Fucking Cubs!

Bynorth is a good middle name.  So is Southeast.

I've always used the ESPN Probable Pitchers page. You can click a pitcher's name, then when it goes to his page, click  "Bat vs. Pitch"

Mark, first of all, thank you.

Second of all, I still hate the fucking FTCubs. With a fucking passion, I hate them. I hate them like C4 fucking hated them, and he really fucking hated them.

Goddamn it to fucking hell, I fucking hate them.

I especially fucking hate their bullshit fucking fans ... I fucking hate them ... from the effete quasi-intellectual right wing jackboot conservative semi-Nazi bullshit fucking Cubs fans (George Will, etc.); to the Chicago-bred "DaBulls" bullshit fucking Cubs fans (Jim Belushi, John Cusack, etc.); to the super-fucking rich agrarian Solyent-Green-growing Archer-Daniels-Midland motherfucker Midwestern motherfucking bullshit fucking Cubs fans (Warren Buffet, etc.)

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mark ... for skewering every goddamn one of those cockeyed motherfucking cocksuckers, one and all.

I am eternally in your debt.

Fuck.

Thank you.

Craig nailed it in one. That's my source.

Also, writing this preview apparently brought out the real asshole in me. I've had several people ask my why I'm so quick to snap today.

Thanks, Cubbies!
