Good morning

good day leaf bro. God save the queen. as tradition
Hey Hey! Bout time for some spring cleaning! Thinking i might do some sweeping today!
Alright my dudes, I'm on a bus into Pittsburgh right now and I'm bored as hell. I need you guys to narrate the shit out if this game for me and make this bus ride go quicker.
>Rodriguez can't catch a foul ball
Is his only use for the pirates being a goon?
>>67343492
Sean rodriguez eats shit
Is baez the REAL deal
>>67343492
Baez thrown out at stealing second
>>67343492
Just follow the plays with AtBat or listen to radio coverage
>>67343544
I am following the play by play, but where's the fun in that without a little shitposting?
Ah quidditch yes. I am familiar with this slang. Good set yesterday wasn't it?
Nicasio pls
>>67343576
My dude what's the cricket score or whatever between the Tottenham teddies and the county Carlow cutlasses?
Lester city
Can we shit post by posting slag while disguising it as serious baseball talk? Ill start
Arrieta is a better pitcher than kershaw and the doyers are going to get btfo. Also no PEDS for arrieta.
>>67343650
>implying English cricket has names remotely like that.

We keep it simple. They are just named after the county. Example: Lancashire.

If they were the best, they should be able to easily beat everyone else.
Didn't happen with the Cardinals though.

>Adds for rivers casino and the powerball
Are we sure this game is in Shitsburgh?
>>67343720
You should see the stats of the Reds starter that the Cubs just made their bitch. He had an ERA of like 13.
>>67343720
He's not a put-it-in-play guy and he's not sharp enough to get efficient strike outs. He needs to figure that shit out because if he fucks it up Locke's our number 3. Hell, Vogelsong is in the starting rotation if any of the bottom three fuck it up.
>It's a Lester throws his glove to first base episode.
Ugh that play is so last year... whats next, rizzo gona get on edge of the field wall and catch a ball in the stands?
Rodriguez is going to get caught stealing, check'em

Hey bros just woke up, what did I miss? Other than that pick off at first just now that is.
>>67343897
Both pitchers suck, Rodriguez is the butt of every mean spirited joke still. Pirates haven't beaned anyone yet.
>>67343897

Lololololol free bases
>>67343922
K thanks m8, seems about right
>>67343929
So that only way Lester can throw to first is if he throws his glove too, gotcha
>School groups taking a field trip to watch a game
I wish my school was that good.
Also that was horrible umping, Hayward should have been called out.
Im not sure if fowler can get out, probs juicing
>>67344027
Racist
Rizzo needs to get out fast. I have to poop.
>>67344070
I'm not a Cards fan though

>>67344027
I went on asummer camp trip to Milwaukee for a cubs brewers game (I was a counselor) and I had to tell the kids who Ronnie woo woo was and why they didn't need his autograph and that they should stay as far away as possible.
I still wonder how his homeless as got from Chicago to Milwaukee
McCutchen's shoddy defense almost literally killed him.

Ok, so there's the Mets and Nats out of the East, the Doyers in the West and the Cubs in the Central. Still leaves one playoff spot open and you can't honestly tell me with a straight face there's a team in the NL that's notably better than the Pirates.
>>67344501
I still dont think we should count out the dbacks. There is no way they dont get some kind of momentum anytime this season with the amount of talent they have
>>67344501

How do you shit an episode?
>>67344758
The Pie Rats find a way!
IT WAS A 3-1 COUNT WITH BASES LOADED AND NO OUTS
I swear, Lester and Arrieta keep loading the bases just to sweep the coming 3 batters. This has happened several times so far this season. It's like they want us to have a heart attack.
THE FUCKING MAD MAN DID IT AGAIN!!!

Nothing can compare to the king of heartattacks, carlos marmol
>>67344938
Sean Rodriguez literally swung at ball 4 twice
>>67344915
Tell me, was getting out of a no out bases loaded jam part of his plan?
>>67343959
He's such a douch, I'd beam him as well.
>>67343981
Not with a broken jaw.
>5th double of the series for Rizzo
Why do we not have an image of Rizzo checking them yet?
>>67344961
Indeed, but with Marmol it got to a point where you expected the heart attack, especially since he did blow it many times. You don't really expect Arrieta or Lester to feel so against the wall but they keep getting out of it somehow.
>>67344998
good luck staying in the league as someone who intentionally beans people in the head. you'd be dead in a week.

The Cubs announcers are the worst in baseball. Three minutes of dead air followed by stupid comment...repeat entire game. Anyone that says they like them needs to be systematically removed from the planet.
Oh my god yoh cant pick up that fucking ball? Fuck that shit

It's light years better than the Pirate Announcers. Yesterday when I watched their broadcast, they just gave up on their team after the 4th and talked about how good Arrieta was for the rest of the game.

really, when you shit, Len comes out, sounds about right, moron.
>>67345126
Len and JD are probably the most comfy broadcasters in the majors, if not all of sports
>>67345245
You cant see the fucking ball through the ivy in july! You blind fucking pie rat waste
>>67345258
>>67345245
Asshurt Shittsburgh fans spotted
>>67345237
Haha, don't worry. I just said "Good evening! Go Cubs!".
It's nice for the early games, but west coast road games get really dire since it's at 4-5 AM starts.
>>67345258
Yeah that is what i meant. Is there something wrong with that?
Kys. Fag.
>>67345208
its literally a rule you are allowed to not play the ball as long as it is being obstructed by something. If the ball goes into the ivy at wrigley and you can still clearly see it you are allowed to settle for a GRD as long as no one touches it. just throw your hands up.
>>67345169
The Cubs announcers have spent most of this game discussing socks. They have had at least three separate conversations about the Pirates socks, how they where them and if they are striped or not. At least your announcers were talking about a player, not their clothing.
>>67345245
>Finding a ball landing a in pile of weeds
>Finding a ball that is halfway poking out under the wall
>Thinking you can compare either of those.
The city of you.
>>67345272
Speaking of being blind, I guess you missed the umpire running out and trying to remove the ball only to find out it was in fact wedged under the wall.
>>67345309
its a flat across the board rule in all ball parks. Pads/ivy it doesnt matter.
>>67345306
If your players weren't dogshit, they might be talking about them.
>>67345330
>implying they weren't faking it so they could keep the game competitive.
>>67345291
I'm a Cubs fan dumbass, I just want to have announcers for my team that don't suck. I yearn for the days of Steve Stone and Chip Caray, they were always great.
Lotta hostility.
>>67345291
medical records came in. says you got a severe case of fractured ass.
>>67345268
Depends, maybe if you define comfy as terrible or horrible. They're really bad bro, don't be mad, it's a fact.
>>67345425
Why do people confuse opinion with fact so much? Like i dont care if you dont like them, but dont act like its objective in any way.
>>67345339
I'm confused, you're calling the Cubs dog shit?
Have you seen there record, there stats?
>>67345425
Its really not tho. They have passion and excitement for their team. When good plays happen theyre hype. Some teams you wouldn't even know when a run was scored.
Youre one of the only faggots I know that doesnt like them kys
That fucking play with Baez haha. It was like watching the meme team all over again
>>67345475
Calling the pirates dogshit, why else would the announcers be talking about their clothing instead of how they're playing?
Also it's a tie, so he's going to be out since tie goes to to original call.
Unless umpball is in effect.
>>67345475
hes just ass blasted he doesnt have comfy announcers that also bring the bantz and call a good game. JD has top tier dad jokes.
>>67345539
It's never a tie, anon
>>67345464
It's the internet, it's not confusion, nor is it always accurate. Though it is an opinion, it still has some merit and is therefore not totally a non-objective comment.
>>67345561
It was clearly a tie, so the Umps are trying to keep the Pirates in the game.
>>67345580

Cubs rank 5 in announcer ratings. kindly kill yourself
>>67345539
I'm a Cubs fan. I like the Cubs, their announcers eat a dick every time they go on air. They are awful. I usually watch the game and listen to the radio for the play by play.
>Lester can only get a strikeout when a runner is on third.
I'm sensing a pattern here...
>>67345645
Wow, a list on the internet.
Cubs have the worst announcers in MLB, now that you read it on the internet, it must be true. Next you're going to tell me that ESPN said it, or some other useless bulllshit, I'll pass bro. They suck.
This is so dumb. Who gives a shit if you like them or not, you're not going to change anyones oppinion. Can we just talk about the game.
>>67345724
how about that high test ball girl
>>67345126
Want to talk about shit? The Tards announcers are the worst.
I usually watch the games on ESPN so I listen to the latinamerican broadcast but when I use a stream I like to hear these Cubs guys, they are relax and don't try as hard as some others... Looking at you tards
>>67345724
Who knew the way to get Cubs fans upset was to talk about their announcers?
>>67345773
What about girls who smuggle baseballs?

Do you like them sagging to the ground?
>>67345945
I love fake tits. These are nice. The ones before were terrible.

Hawk is a lot like Caray used to be, I'd kill to have someone like that for the Cubs. Steve Stone was great here.
>>67346102
>wanting hawk
>>67345974
It's a matter of how far the breasts are apart naturally. So all the support and saline in the world won't create bountiful cleavage.
Also, Zorb shows Rodriguez how to field a foul ball in the right.
They should just keep baez at third and bryant in left. Baez is a monster with the glove. No disrespect to bryant but it does make our infield better
>>67346323
other than missing out on schwarbs bat, bryant is the better outfielder
What the fuck kinda shitty ass draft are they suggesting?
>>67345851
Except that they just suggested that the team with the best record drafts first and worst record last. It's a pretty terrible idea.
>>67346362
Please tell me you're not implying schawber is better at the plate than bryant...
>>67346397
>Equivalent of make it take it
Fucking playground rules
>>67346397
>>67346432
soccer does something similar with relegation. Good teams stay good, shit teams stay shit. I dont like that the NFL will tank just for draft picks.
>Best record of team that doesn't get into the playoffs gets the first pick
Terrible fucking idea, it just means the top teams cycle between getting into the playoffs and being on the cusp of it locking out half the league.
>>67346530
Is there any proof that the shitty teams actively tank consistently in the NFL at the end of the season? I know players hate being accused of it because if they're on a contract year, they're basically fucked if the team plays like shit and they didn't preform.
NOBODY BEATS THE RIZZ
RIIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-O
>>67346651
the colts did to get luck.
calling it now, gl this season pirate bros.
>>67346853
That was just the fanbase wanting them to tank 'Suck for Luck', you had several of them do that. The Colts were genuinely awful once they lost Manning because of how much the offense revolved around him and didn't need to tank.
>>67346902
Fuck off /r9k/ fag.

SWEEEEEEEEP
Cubs win, but it almost got away from them a few times.
Sad Rodriguez didn't lose his. because you know he'd charge the mound if someone throws at him
I'm just glad we showed up for this home series against the class of the NL. Went out there and played 3 solid games even if we were on the losing end of all of them. Gave it our best and definitely didn't roll over or anything like that.
gg guys. Nice W, nice sweep. who can stop us?

Cubs sweep!
