C-congrats on tying for 1st.

This team is fucking too wildly inconsistent sometimes.

We can put up tremendous fights against you guys and then pad our stats against the Barves, but then choke against the White Sox. Q is great, but I expected more than 1 run with our Offense tonight.

Shame really. It just sucks because I know we're getting swept now. No fucking way in hell are Buttholez or Owens going to get us a win.

>cards offense has returned

mark my words, this season has the making for a deep cardinals playoff run. the cards NEVER win the series those seasons where they win like 100 games, its always the ones where they just scrape into the playoffs and then get really hot. If this team can get into the playoffs and wainwright and the rest of the pitching staff pitches half as good as last year, watch out, because we actually have offense now.

oh wait youre a reds fan, you don't care about what happens in the playoffs ;^)

tbqh with you Joe I don't think it's all that much of a fluke.

I like the White Sox bros (although these general ones seem to be...different than normal ones)

But they look like a different team, playing ball effectively and aggressively.

Obviously they won't sustain the like .800 ball that they're playing, but I could see them winning the division or contending for a WC at worst unless they utterly collapse. But the vibe is too strong for them for that to happen it looks to me.

This is the guy that gave up 8 runs in the 8th, right?
Or i he the manager/catcher that argued with the umps rather than talking to his pitcher?
Or is he the shortstop that muffed an easy double play to end the inning?
Or is he the outfielder that bitched and moaned about a fan messing him up, and then admitted he wouldn't have made the play, and then retracted the statement?
Or is he the entire MLB squad that choked on a fresh game 7?

He's not? He's a fan that reached slightly over the railing to catch a foul ball, which is something everyone around him did, and is also something Cubs fans STILL DO, and then got ran out of town with death threats over it?

Give me a fucking break. Wrigley Field is better off as a concentration camp. Yes I'm mad. I should be, as a decent human being, for that disgrace to the game of baseball.

Pretty much all of Chicago are sympathetic towards Steve Bartman. There have even been fan petitions to have a Steve Bartman day at Wrigley which Steve politely declined.

I think this is a fine opportunity to remind the freshly minted Cubs fans for life that Steve Bartman did nothing wrong and the Cubs will not sniff a championship for another century.

It's very obvious he's on roids. You can tell from how much strength and energy he has. If you watch guys who were known steroid users you can see something different in the way they move. It's like there's nothing holding them back and there's no resistance from outside forces. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

When a team gets good two things happen:
1. lots of new shitposters for that team appear out of the woodwork
2. lots of salty people over that team's success appear out of the woodwork
The combination of the two cause a perfect shitstorm of shitposting, resulting in threads like these.

It kind of does actually. Are you aware of how big of a boost steroids are? People who have talked about taking them say it makes you feel almost superhuman.

Real talk.

Why don't we get Arrieta to just release his Pilates records?

When he started them?

How frequently he did them?

What pilates-enchancers he used?

Did he do his pilates on the black market?

Perhaps his instructor is afghany?

Or perhaps German?

This is all important.

it's a piece of shit stadium in a shitty location. i love the team, but even when i only lived an hour away i only went to about 10-15 games a year.

from indiana experience:

drive through creepy mexican neighborhoods with buildings that look like a scooby doo ghost town

the dan-ryan is an annoying shitty freeway, if you try to avoid it you deal with tolls

the after game parking lot outlets back onto the freeway are a fucking mess even if there are only 12k people there

30$ minimum parking for >2 blocks from the cell. <2 blocks and you have a nice car = crackhead breaks into it

violent niggers occupy anything 4> blocks from the stadium

if you miss the exit off the freeway(usually because you're surrounded by niggers driving 400$ cars and they don't care) you end up in mogadishu

Guys, Jake here.

Just got my latest shipment of Pilatesâ„¢ in the mail. Came in a small package, express ordered from Germany.

The Pilates Injectorâ„¢ I had recently just broke, so I'm going to skip a rotation day this week so I don't mess up my fung-schway (it's a little term we in the pilates community like to say, it basically means balance, just an fyi)

I can't WAIT to try these Pilateâ„¢ out. The Manufacturer has been pretty famous for a while now. Since like the Olympics if I remember correctly, with some Track Runners.

Anyways, peace bros. Gotta go meet up with my bros Chris and Dee, we're having a joint Pilates session together.
