Ryan Braun would like you to buy this douchey t-shirt.
If this season had gone another way, we could all have been super-duper excited for this game. Alas, unless Colorado, San Fran, Florida, and Atlanta undergo collapses the likes of which the world has not seen since 1969, it's just another boring series at the end of a disappointing year.
Believe it or not, we've actually picked up a few games in the WC race, now finding ourselves 7.5 back with 21 left to play.
On the other hand, if the Cubs decide to take out some of their long-simmering frustration on the Brewers, this series could be a big pile of awesome.
Think about it. How much would you love to see Corey Hart beaned in the goodies? Or Milty go, head down, into Kendall at home?
I would like it a lot. It's almost enough to make me wish Ryan Braun was playing. I'd give a lot of things up to see him pull a Sam Fuld into the wall. Oh relax! Ryan will be fine. If he's permanently disfigured and unable to play baseball, he can always fall back on selling his Ed Hardy knock-off t-shirts, the prime customer for which appears to be Jon Gosselin.

millertime said:
Its allright, allright, just dance. Gonna be ok.
candyman said:
No wonder Cubs fans are regarded as assholes.
JulieDiCaro said:
Hmmmm. Indeed.
millertime said:
Yeah Cubbiejulie, why ya gotta be like that?
millertime said:
Haha. No wonder.
millertime said:
You'll like baseball. It's a civilized pastime.
millertime said:
Is this enough replies to make you feel vindicated for making your comment?
I hope it feels so good to be right. There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?
JulieDiCaro said:
i don't think wanting to laugh at the Brewers is a shortcoming.
millertime said:
we have 2 RF? Interesting move Lou. Lets see what happens!
JulieDiCaro said:
Whoops.
I think Fox is in LF.
millertime said:
2 RF would make the game more interesting...
JulieDiCaro said:
it totally would.
at this point, Lou should just be seeking to entertain us.
Carl Heartscubs Gierhan said:
Let's go team!
millertime said:
That's the healthy family friendly attitude we need around here.
JulieDiCaro said:
if this blog goes family-friendly, there will be nothing left for me.
gravedigger said:
For you? What the fuck would happen to me?
millertime said:
Ryan Braun is the best damn salesman I know. He takes showers in grain alcohol!
JulieDiCaro said:
what are you talking about?
millertime said:
I was gonna do the Bill Brasky thing, except with Ryan Braun. I guess other people don't find Bill Brasky as funny as I do.
JulieDiCaro said:
Nobody puts baby in a corner!
RIP Patrick Swayze.
gravedigger said:
YES! More deadpool points for me!
JulieDiCaro said:
Lou announces Marmol will be the closer for 2010.
God help us.
FrankS said:
Maybe Lou figures if he makes enough pronouncement regarding next year, then Ricketts won't look into replacing him for next season?
gravedigger said:
(Like)
flyball said:
really? in September?
anyone want to bet when he starts talking about "competition for the closer spot"? January 28th is my guess
JulieDiCaro said:
Fuld with another web gem. Nice catch.
gravedigger said:
I wish I could see it, but of course it isn't on WGN.
JulieDiCaro said:
it's not all that interesting anyway. except for Lee's HR and Fuld's catch.
gravedigger said:
score?
Maim said:
According to a different site on the internet, it's 2-0 Cubs.
canopygrl said:
Ok I take back whatever I said about Braun being cute. There must have been a shadow or his ball cap hiding his face. Or I was drunk...Ewww
Maim said:
He's not that cute in any of the photos I googled (not more than once, Julie, I promise! ...really!) but he's cute on TV.

Waiting for the logic shoe to drop in 5...4...
gravedigger said:
Logic? But you're talking to women...
Maim said:
Quiet you! Go make us some sandwiches!
gravedigger said:
Excuse me? I may be gay, but I'm no bitch.
gravedigger said:
OK, I know I'm gonna get hammered for this one, but I hope everyone knows I'm (mostly) joking and being (mostly) sarcastic.
But really, I'm no bitch.

Here's my story about what happened yesterday:
My neighbor is a dogwalker/dogsitter and for some reason he left a dog out in the back yard by itself yesterday morning. When I went to take the dogs out, it ran up the back stairs and into my apartment. I tried to grab it but it didn't have a collar on. I went up to get it and my dog followed. The strange dog was sniffing around Violet's food dish and they inevitably got into a fight. While pulling them apart, I got bitten pretty badly. It's on my right elbow - puncture wounds on the top and bottom of my arm, bruising and swelling. I didn't go to the hospital because I don't have insurance.
I let the landlord know what happened and he called the downstairs neighbor. He claims he never left the dog outside alone. My roommate was there and he saw the dog outside alone, and we took pictures of my gaping wounds. Not sure what else I should do. Any advice anyone?
millertime said:
Treat the gaping wound. Make sure it doesn't get infected.
If only there was a lawyer who frequented this site to offer legal advice...
gravedigger said:
Judge Judy.
Edelweiss said:
If you live near Belmont and Halsted, and the dog is a large apricot poodle wearing a pure silk rainbow scarf, it belongs to Jeff Baker and Tim Trott. It doesn't matter whose name the dog is in because both are rich - Trott owns a design studio, and Baker makes 5 million a year playing for the Cubs. If it is that dog, you will get rich.
millertime said:
I'm sorry, that axe you're grinding is very loud, could you repeat what you just said?
Edelweiss said:
Good that someone picked up on it ---There is no lower form of lofe than someone who lets his dog deposit huge turds on the lawn of a disabled person, and thinks it is OK because he is wealthy.
Maim said:
WTF?
millertime said:
Also, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Baker only makes .415 Million US dollars a year. Oh wait, were you talking about Mexican Peso? In that case you're close, he makes 5536722.5 a year. Just trying to help. We're all in this together.
JulieDiCaro said:
Go to the ER. Have them bill you. File a report with the police (call *311 and tell them you want to fill out a report). Tell the neighbor you want 1) proof that the dog was vaccinated against rabies; and 2) him to pay your ER bill, or your laywer will be in contact with him.
JulieDiCaro said:
Also, tell him you want the contact info for the dog's owner. They should know that their dog bit someone.
And tell him you have witnessES to the dog being outside alone.
Maim said:
I put some stuff on it and it's wrapped up.
Also, I should mention that this neighbor is the biggest douchehole in the universe.
gravedigger said:
That's clear. But seriously, there are lawyers here who should be able to give you some non-binding advice that should include small claims court.
Maim said:
I would rather the magic eviction fairy would just remove him from the premises forever. That would be ideal.
gravedigger said:
You could rip up his rent checks.
millertime said:
Why does every Jack Johnson song sound the same?
Umbra said:
Why does every Chicago Bears QB suck?
(The answers are related)
millertime said:
Cause it's a Sisyphean task?
gravedigger said:
Braun looks like he was beat around a little before this pic.
Maim said:
That's what he gets for not making me a sandwich?
Eh.
gravedigger said:
So, Dempster pitched an 8 inning 4-hit shutout. Cool.
gravedigger said:
omg. sam fuld is hOT.

Dear Cubs,
I am annoyed that you will not be in the post season because you are depriving me of a distraction from talk of Tom Brady. Now I have nothing and will be forced to hear about him all the time. I need you in the postseason it is the only way to make it through.
Please, think of this next season when you decide to tank.
Love,
flyball
JulieDiCaro said:
Dear Cubs,
While I appreciate that you have started winning some baseball games, it's too little, too late. I would appreciate it if you could just hurry up and be mathematically eliminated so we can all get on with our lives. Pretending your somehow "still in it" is hurting everyone involved.
Love,
Julie

Dear 'Never Return My Letters and Now They're All Dead Men' Cubs,
How does it feel to be dead men? Praying to God
won't help!
Your Killer,
Bob Odenkirk
(Also, I like the Cubs winning all these games when it's meaningless. Creates a bigger sense of impending doom.)
