Sitting here in the Dart Bowl cafeteria, and the fucking Cubs are about to close out the Jakes. I have a few FTC fans in my life, and I'm not looking forward to their immature bullshit. It sucks to be counting on the Stem to slap them down.

Shitbirds will be out. On the bright side.

Watching their imbecilic jerkwagon fans stomping around makes my dinner pretty irrelevant.

Shit. You'd think they just won the World Series.

The first postseason series clinching win at Wrigley Field. Ever.

Oh, by all means let's light a few cars on fire to celebrate winning in the first round.

Well, whaddaya know. I'd heard things had changed some since I'd been gone. I guess I should've expected it.

These playoffs are loaded with teams who at one time or another have been the high on my most hated list:
Jakes
FTC
steM
Yankmees
Dodgers
Strangers

To be sure there are others, but that's a pretty barftastic collection for me.

Class action, Take out slides v MLB any minute now. Can't wait for the jury instructions for breaking up the double play. I hope they get to the infield fly rule instructions. (Wrong thread)

toddthebod · « **Reply #11 on:** October 13, 2015, 09:08:49 pm »

Its pretty simple for me. I hate the Mets way more than the Dodgers. (it's been a really long time since I hated the Dodgers.) I hate the Cardinals way more than the Cubs. And I hate the Rangers way more than the Blue Jays.

I hate the Cardinals, but their fans are already insufferable and cannot get much worse.

If the Cubs were to win the World Series, you would never hear the end of it. Ken Burns would do a 45-hour miniseries with Billy Crystal doing backflips and sparks flying out his ass.

The status quo would be totally off-kilter for the rest of our lives.

advertising a class action for overturned shortstops. What's the stat of limitations for spike gashes on shins for 3rd basemen?

My wife told me at the beginning of the post-season that if the Astros and FTC make it to the World Series against each other, I can take my Dad (an FTC fan). She is sitting on pins and needles now.

Or...

It might go the way of the Sawx. So much was made of the Curse of the Bambino and all that, and then they finally made the breakthrough. It was vomit-inducing at the time - although the 4-game comeback against the Yankmees was hilarious - but since then when do you hear about the Sox?

They lifted the curse and got the worst possible outcome for themselves: they became ordinary.

They decided that they were the new Yankees and nothing less than world series will do. Cubs would be the same way. So hopefully they will go down in spectacular fashion.

This is also Cardinal fans. I heard one today say "Anything less than an NL pennant is a failure for this franchise and should not be tolerated. We demand more from ourselves."

"Ourselves"? Really?

Well sure. To be a real Cardinals fan you must live by the motto, "The ultimate in vicarious living."

The result, of course, would be a Rangers victory because we all know the Cubs will never win. Honestly, of the two I would rather the Cubs win, and it's not close. But they won't.

Fortunately it is highly unlikely that they will win NLCS. Who knows why, but they'll have some random thing or another to blame it on. A baboon running loose down North Clark Street, a drunk chick with an iPod, who knows. A drunk baboon with an iPod running down North Clark. Who knows.

Not that I give a damn but I'm pretty sure Billy Crystal is a New York fan, it's Bill Murray (maybe the only cub fan I like) that's all about the Cubs.

Yes. Crystal = Yankees. Although I Cubs would rate a Jim Belushi/John Goodman version of the Blues Brothers for narration.
